For one thing, I bet you could run the device off of the PC's 12V line.  
Regulate it down to 9V is necessary, but the optional car adapter 
suggests to me that 12V will work.  Double check before trying 12V!

Another thing, I bet you could find a transmitter schematic on the Web 
that would enable you to build your own device.  If you like doing that 
kind of thing.
