How to power my GP380 in the car? Can I use the original Moto charger and connect it to the 12volt system?

Do you want to charge it in the car or power it off of the car's electrical system while using it?

Yep, both of it, charge and use the radio.

I don't think that connecting the wall charger to the vehicle's electrical system is a good idea if you plan on using the radio while charging it. From what I have heard, it could damage the radio to leave it on while in the charger. Don't quote me on that, but that's what I have heard.
Your best bet would be to get a Vehicle Charger/Adapter that are available in the Motorola parts catalog. I'm not sure if there are any electrical differences between the GP380 and HT1250, so be sure to check on that if you end up trying to get a North American model of the charger.
Hope this helps!
