I have a 2 Ampere Cigarette adapter from my gas station near my home.
It started working with a standard USB A -> B cable and no extra  
resistor.

As of the price sign it is a kombase 'USB-Ladestecker'. EAN:  
4260098010084
It costs ~ 15.95 €. But I am unsure you get the same. I have tried and  
succeeded.
