i would go with the brodit holders. i have had them for my last 4 phones and they are great . The fit is great, however they arn't as cheap as some... but you do pay for what you get.
a good company to get them from is dsl developments. mine should be here in a min so i will post a few pics if your interested
Ordered this one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HTC-TOUCH-HD2...UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL?hash=item518ed1309c
Came today with charger, holder identical with the one provided by O2 UK with Orbit 2. It's holding HD2 very nicely.

Same here. I've already got the Brodit active mount installed it's the 4th one now. It's one of the first things I buy when I get a new phone. I use a RAM suction mount instead of the vent clip option. It's so easy to use just slide the phone in and out.
Ditto. I've just fitted a Brodit active mount for my HD2. Good quality mount that holds the HD2 firmly vertically or horizontally and the power connector lines up perfectly. I never regretted buying Brodit mounts for my past two phones and this one looks to be no exception.
same as above Brodit holder every time, good quality, good fit, not cheap but with a £500 phone its well worth getting something thats not going to drop it eh?
Brodit all the way! btw, there is a active thread already on this with many posts

Why not having a look on www.brodit.com.
I already installed the active one but removed the cig-plug (whole cable) and replaced it by a USB cable. So I'm also able to listen music while charging.
Works like a charm.

Hi Joerg,
How did you do this, my car stereo has a USB input and I'm also hoping this maybe a partial workaround to the Bluetooth issue.
Is there a line out in the micro-usb-plug, too? Like in the older HTC-devices or can i only get sound over the 3.5mm-headphone-plug?
On my polaris i used a htc adapter, where i pluged in a 3.5mm-sound-cable.

The Audio line out on the HD (mini USB) was not available so I can't imagine it being reinstated for the the HD2.
That´s bad. So i allways have to plug in two cables.
it looks nice. Thanks!
However, having a look at it, it seems like it's not possible to keep the HD2 horizontally (I mean the support holding the HD2 seems to be only for vertical use). Is this correct?

Would be intresting, if someone has this carholder and can say something about ist.
Landscape holding is important for me, because i want to use the hd2 for navigation.
What about the Motorola Moto Q-Holder? Can i use my HD2 landscape with this holder?
Has anyone tried this car holder that does not need a wind screen sucker: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DASH-FRICTION..._PDAAccessories_PDAMounts?hash=item518ed5ac3f
I have ordered one, so will see it is works or not.

Be interesting to hear your thoughts about this one. I've just ordered this one.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290380864077 should be here tomorrow... I'll post my feedback
I saw someone post a Herbert Richter Vent holder in a thread about car kits (I tried to post a picture, but I'm not allowed to) and I see you can buy it on ebay, but how does the HD2 attach on to it? I assume you need a holder for the HD2 to clip into it, but I can't find one? Are there any?
I suggest you post in this thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=598418
Was probably the one you were looking for but could not find.
Also to help in future google search on XDA...http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://forum.xda-developers.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all works a little better than the forum search tool.
Good luck.

I'm using a pdair case with the stud on the rear fitting into a pdair universal mount that suction fits onto the windshield. Check the pdair website for details.

Hello,
have the new Brodit Active Holder, works well as in horizontal or vertical Mode.
Bought it here: http://www.haid-services.de/kfz-hal...odit-halterung512246-htc-incredible-s-kfz.htm
Brodit it´s best i ever had!
Nice thanks for pointing that out. Looks like I then need to buy a separate windscreen mount as couldn't see any on the Brodit site, is that correct?
Many thanks
Ant
verizon seems to have released a decent looking one too, would provide link, but at work right now. edit for link later.

Now THAT'S more like the setup I would want!
Here is a ebay seller with a good amount of accessories. I just bought one of is windshield mount.
http://www.rpasonline.com/search1.cfm?Search_Term=Incredible+S
Windscreen mounts for Incredible S
Also consider Herbert Richter, a little expensive, but well worth extra pennies.
I just received Verizon's, and it's superb. It's more like a dock, where you plug your car charger into the back of the mount and the dock charges the phone.

Hi, you can write them in english, i know them, think they also send it in the us or take a look for brodit cradles in the us.
Wow the brodit is about $98.48...including shipping at proclipusa.i'll have to pass

Bump. Anyone tried out the official Verizon car dock for this? I heard that it defaults to launching the VZW navigator, but can that be changed?
Does anybody know a perfect fitting car craddle, like the original from LG for the P970?
Brodit is thinking about to release a cradle. So just email them that you also want a cradle, maybe this helps
Just mail to: [email protected]
why not a universal craddle?
i bought a new specific craddle after changing the mobile.
now i try this one:
Clingo Universal Vent Mount
after 4 weeks, i like it.
sorry, can't post outside links.
You can also use the craddle for the galaxy nexus from Brodit , fit 100%
Best regards,
Christian
Thanks for your replys, both are worth to take a closer look to it.

The Clingo doesn't work because it needs an even surface. The back of the 4X is uneven.
I think I give the Galaxy Nexus cradle a try if its available on Amazon. Thanks.
Looking at the pics of the Brodit for the Galaxy Nexus it looks like the Nexus has a curved base. Surely that won't fit? I want to be sure before spending £35 on one!

Can you post some pictures? I'm interested in the way how this works with the uneven surface of the back of the phone.

Thanks for the pictures - but I prefer a fixed installation and no window holder.

Searching at Brodit for the holder the search shows two models:
Item no 511324
Passive holder with tilt swivel - Samsung Galaxy Nexus GT-I9250
Item no 511331
Passive holder with tilt swivel - Samsung Galaxy Nexus SCH-I515
Which one is the right one?
Thanks,
Sebastian
I bought this one - Samsung ECS-K2
I just bought a Clingo, and put a screw through the base of the ball-socket part to secure it to my Brodit base in my car!!
It holds it quite far out though, tomorrow I think I'll saw the ball-socket's arm down a bit and put a screw into the middle of it from the back of the Brodit plate.
Works well on the textured rear of the 4x, but with the Nillkin cover it did keep falling off, I guess it's a funny slightly rubbery finish

It is the one for the Nexus GT, 511324
Thought I'd show a pic of my Clingo, modified by cutting off the ball-joint and screwing it to my Brodit base. (it was far too far out when I screwed the whole ball-joint arm on, and was knocked with every gear-change.
I just used my carkit I had for my SGS2, fits perfectly..

Wombat - Was it a Brodit? Active? (with charger) or just the 'passive' holder?
I was going to buy one as the 4x is only 2mm wider, and was contemplating dremelling it out a bit!! Would love to know if it fits as it is!
Thanks for the pic. Looks really cool!

I was inspired by a dashboard mount for satnav unit I saw on ebay
Looking at the image of the rear of the official dock (sorry as new users I can't post direct link, silly as the captcha here is overzealous anyway):
techgc.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/DK26-gallery-image-02-1024x693.png
The DK26 takes microUSB , which I can use an in-car cigarette charger to connect to it.
If I mount the DK 26 to the dashboard of the car, either using double sided tape or friction pads, I can then have a mount in car where I can easily charge the phone and may be use it for sat nav. However, the inability to tilt and rotate is a concern, the viewing angle doesn't help either.
It depends if I can find a good spot on the dash board.
It'd be a good idea if someone having the dock can try this.
I will be building something like this once i get chance i intergating my phone into my dash lol
When's the dock coming out in UK? Sony's site only says "coming soon"

check out the clingo holders.
once my dock comes from australia, i'll definately try to stick the dock to the clingo. meanwhile, i can confirm the thing holds the XZ so good that i have a hard time taking it off the holder )
