Can you charge a v3 razr with a usb cable?

Question

I have had this phone for about tow years and until recently didn't notice a usb cable could fit into the razr. My charger is broken an instead of trying to buy another one I thought I would try this. So I plugged in the usb cable to the phone and the other end to the computer. It said I needed to install something for the device but the computer couldnt find it. I went back into my razr box and found this little piece so I plugged it into my phone and usb into it. Still nothing! I really want to be able to do this. Anyone know anything?

You can charge it with the usb with a computer but you need a program called Motorola Phone Tools v5 so you can pair the phone with your pc then you can charge the phone
