New Athena car mounts

ProClip has new mounts for autos, 2 designs, variations with built in charger cords:
http://www.x7501.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1185580236/10#11
Just the thing for a GPS solution!
CORRECTION: OK these are not so new, but not well known none the less....

Haven't looked at all 4 of them but the first one is the one I bought for my Athena when i first got about a year ago.....

I just bought one to mount in my Solstice.
Looking to mount it in another location from where they specify though.
Realy like the holder that grips top & bottom and provides power.
Need to bump the current up

This looks interesting, but I don't know how it mounts, anyone know?

I use the PDAmods mount, the built in speaker sux. But other than that the mount charges the device very well, and doesn't interrupt the GPS any, and for the price it was worth it to me.

HOw does the PDAmod mount work?

Where do you have it mounted? On the window? On the dash? How do you put the device into the mount? Do you have to angle it in so that the power terminal engages? Do the sides open up? A couple of pics would be greatly appreciated.

i rather use the Universal car mounts, the good ones
that way i can use it with any PDA / phone i got with me at the moment

looks lika a few options to mount

That's the one I use but the speaker sucks, pretty nice mount though (IMHO).

Mount
I've found this mount to be much better..

I got the Proclip horz slide mount with the built in usb charger cable.
I purchased a sheet of aluminum and made a mount for it that bolts to my vanagon dash board (I didn't have to drill the vanagon, just bolted through the speaker hole in the center dash) The mount was very simple, just like the iMac base:
Very satisfied. Before this mount, I rarely used tomtom, now every time I am in the van I have it on. Also use it for A2DP wireless streaming to my in dash receiver!!!!!

Be careful with that one I got one and the speaker is not shield so whenever you get an incoming phone call you hear the beeps. This is completly unuseful.

I personally don't ever use the speaker it comes with, due to the fact that sounds muffled.

Ditto!! With the 4-prong ratcheting system, it's so much easier to find a stand/gooseneck to connect it to. I'm using it, too.

Desk Docks...

Not sure when or if Defy will get its own Deck Dock. But my wife got me these somewhat useless business card holders. However, as they're steel, I stuck a magnet to the back, put in my Defy and voila! Deck Dock!

No... well, OK: lousy pictures but you get the picture. First shows magnet, second "docked" Defy. (Magnet came from Radio Shack).

Wouldn't the BB Torch's charging dock suit?
Hi all,
Within weeks I'll receive my first Android phone, after 5 years using WM. Really hope to get adapted to this new platform. It's that I'm that lucky guy who has happened to win Clove's Motorola Defy giveaway competition .
Anyway, this is purely theoretical, but I have noticed that the Blackberry Torch 9800, closed, is slightly bigger than the Defy, in all 3 dimensions. Besides, its charging dock + home charger (you'll be able to find some of them on eBay, like e.g. this one) takes the Torch in landscape mode, and seems to have its male micro-USB port more to the right side, related to its center, which could match the Defy's. Don't know whether it bears a magnet or not, though. Or, if it is be placed in the same location as required by the Defy sensor. Despite all 'ifs', I wonder if the Defy would fit in.
Anyone here would be brave enough to try one of those and see if it fits?
Just my 2 cents...
Regards,
Carlos

Do you have a BB Torch to compare? The USB adpater would have to be in the same orientation as the Defy's, which is "upside down" (narrow edge up). You'd have to have room to move the USB cover aside on the Defy too.

Unfortunately, not. It was pure speculation. Maybe someone here can make a simple test...

According to Mobilefun.co.uk, this thing should fit the defy as well...
Anyone feel like taking one for the team and putting their claims to the test? Looks like a nice dock but I'm afraid that A) it won't fit snugly and B) the usb cover will get in the way.

It might be worth asking them if they can provide photos to back up their claim.
It's in their best interest after all as I'm sure a few of us are interested in finding a decent desktop dock for their Defy.

What? Milestone (Droid)'s dock?
I don't see how the Milestone's dock would suit the Defy, since the former's micro-USB port is to the left, whilst the latter's is to the right.
I might me heavily wrong though (as usual)...
Regards,
Carlos

Anyone had any luck finding a dock for this thing? I am interested as well.

Some guy's come up with a DIY Dock, credits to uploader
Sorry can't paste links so go to youtube and type in "Motorola Defy media dock"
Looks neat

It's made of cardboard - cereal box style. Good effort tho.
Could be a market for aftermarket stands if someone wants to make them... worked for a guy on maemo.org for the N900. He made them out of laser cut wood and sold them via an online shop he set up. Was very popular.

Considering one of these docks
There are lots of docks for the droids and milestones but none designed for the defy yet. But I did come across a couple candidates that I am considering and wondered if anyone had tried either of them yet.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003DM4KLW/ref=ord_cart_shr?ie=UTF8&m=A2LD2YC4L2Z2RO
http://www.clingo.com/home-and-office/universal-podium/
I am leaning towards the first one listed from amazon but the second also looks pretty nice. Neither has a build in charger that will line up with the defy but they have plenty of open space to allow for a usb to plug in.

I use a Clingo which is simple. It doesn't have the magnet required to automatically activate dock mode, of course.

Purchased a car dock - and I have pics

I did not put it in my car yet, I'll do it tomorrow. However, here are some pics of it fully assembled in my junky office.

Does it have a 2-pin slide lock that mounts to the suction cup? I have a seat mount in my car that I can interchange cradles on like that. The cradle would work if it comes off.

I have been using the same mount for the last week. Love it! I cached the maps for my area and use Google maps regularly..

It looks like you mounted it on your dash rather than on the windshield. I like that better since I've been looking to get a friction mount. Can I ask what you used (adhesive, plate)?

The items comes with the plate. It just uses 3m tape.

I have the same mount and it's rock solid. Also have the mount for my phone and I run the Wifi tether app and run Waze on the Nex7 and it's awesome!!

Update:
I just took it over a dirt road that was pretty bumpy, and it stuck very well.
I think I'm going to keep it.

Isn't that tablet obstructing your field of view being mounted like that? I would probably have opted for one that attaches to the heaters in the centre of the dashboard (as your phone), or the cd slot.

In my Matrix, I have it mounted in a similar location, maybe even a little higher, and it's not in my field of view, but I'm on the taller side so I can see over it.

I sit pretty high I'm 6'2 so I see right over it. Anything that I can't see because of the tablet I already hit.. lol

does it vibrate while you drive or no?

here is a video of my set up:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SNHy5ofp5E

I actually have a similar set up as you (including tethered gnex!). While it's a nice mount, one of the issues I ran into with the mount is the way the part that holds the tablet attaches to the base. It's this idiotic peg and slide (wish I had a picture to show you).
Basically, you MUST have the mount fixed a certain way otherwise the tablet part of the mount could slide off after awhile (as I found out while driving through city streets). Unfortunately, to do that you would have to put the retractable part of the arms on the bottom, which kinda works against gravity. It's fine now but time will tell if those springs give way and become loose

Review: InfiniApps Magnet Car Mount

Got this a few days ago for $30 on ebay and love it. I honestly couldn't go with anything other than magnetic - it's so easy and convenient to just quickly sit your phone against the mount or pull it back for texting at a light, etc. There really isn't much to say since the concept is pretty simple. The suction base works well on my textured dash and the magnet grips well. I haven't used it on a race track or anything but I don't take corners or always accelerate super slow either and the phone never budges. It's also great that the dock works with any phone so if you share your car or get a new device, you don't have to change mounts or have more than one. The only way it could be improved is if it had wireless charging built in too (though for verizon versions this wouldn't help most). But the phones battery is good enough that it shouldn't need to be plugged in for any trips that aren't very long anyways.
Also, I recommend the free app "IntelliScreen" with this. The app makes it so the screen won't timeout when certain apps are up on the screen (and it does some other stuff too). I made it so the music and maps app don't timeout so that I don't have to constantly hit the screen button while driving to see and control things.

I'm not positive but when the phone is put around half an inch from it or so, it easily sticks to the mount. It's not strong enough where it's difficult to pull off, but I actually believe I could go to a race track and record video from my phone's camera while it is on the mount and not have any problems with it moving/falling. I had seen the imagnet at first on amazon and was going to get that, but this one doesn't look like it's an iphone accessory so I won't have people asking/thinking I have an iphone that I give rides to, if I don't put my phone on it.

I didn't think of the spen because I don't ever really use it. I just tried it out and it doesn't work where the magnet is. However, it's so quick to take it off the mount and imo it's a lot more convenient to write/draw on it in your hand, so it shouldn't be a problem for a lot of people if not most. Navigation and everything else still works though.
I will also get a picture of the phone on the mount tonight.

Probably identical products, owned by the same parent company, selling under dual brands. It increases market exposure.

Car dock for Flex?

OK, so I've searched all over but I haven't seen an actual Car Dock for the LG G Flex. only universal mounts pop up and I have one of those (my wife and i used to have matching HTC EVO 4G LTE's) and it doesn't sit or play well with that one mostly because of the Curve and size. I'm wondering if anyone has been able to find a good LG Flex based car dock? we take trips down south to Austin from Amarillo a lot but it's a pain having to reach down in to my Jeeps cup holder and look away while i check GPS or change song. just curious

Curious about this as well.
One thing I have found (however dangerous and unsafe as it may be) is to use a mouse while driving. Using a OTG cable with a wireless mouse helps me keep much more focus on the road. Much better that reaching up to the phone and touching the screen imho. With the flex I have many times knocked the phone out of the bad-fitting car dock I have when I touch it, creating a dangerous situation. Hence my switch to a mouse

I got this universal mount sideways since I switch phones a lot. I adjust it so it's snug and don't even mess with the button to release it so it's easy to put in and take out. Our Columbus, Ohio roads suck and I've never had problem with it falling out. It's angled up so that helps. I tried at least 10 universal mounts and finally found one I like. I got it at Walmart.
I only mess with my phone when I'm at a light. I had a friend that died driving and texting.

ARKON Mounts
I have an Arkon window mount with a 18inch flexible goose-neck which also accomodates a 7 -10 inch tablet. I do see that they have an NFC enabled window mount which will probably do everything that you need it to do:

I've got this same one......they also make it with different mounting bases. Like one that mounts to the cars a.c. vents and another with extended arm. Holds the phone really tight and very easily usable to insert phone into and take out of.
