Hello!
Anybody use Xperia in car as Navi or Handsfree system? Do u ppl use any carholder/mount?
I saw http://www.brodit.com/. Looks nice and you can use it in landscape mode.
For now it's the best looking carholder I found online. Maybe someone has one to share opinion about it?
I use pro clips, which is definitely one of the best ones out there in my opinion.
www.proclipusa.com
ive got the brodit one by ebay and its pretty cool!
looks a little bit bulky but the ex1 fits perfectly in it.
landscape mode worx well too but u wont be able to tyle anything with it while u drive anyway.
There is a cheap custom fit holder for the X1 on ebay, which fits the phone perfectly. It's cheap, too.
I use the brodit. works pretty nicely. Has a snug feel to it. I'm using that with the car charger, so when the keyboard is open the usb is pointing down so its perfect.
Don't have one yet, but always tend to go with Brodit, good quality products.
Finally! A car mount that is EXACTLY what I envisioned:
http://www.netimes.com/shop/car-mount-holders-for-sonyericsson-xperia-x1-p-1582.html?currency=USD
Might be cheap, but I will soon find out. Ordered, but with the slow shipping method. The same company also sells it on ebay. There are clones of it as well.
My main concern with any of these is that they will wear the finish. What do the users of these car mounts have to say about wear on the X1's finish?

With the one I'm using (which btw seems to be the same one JKingDev mentioned) it's no problem at all, as the phone sits firmly in the holder and has no room to shake around in it. Therefore it is very unlikely to scratch or wear the phone's finish.

Really? Glad to hear that it works well. Where did you order yours from? Did it ship from Hong Kong?
I ordered it from Honkong via ebay (see my first post in this thread) and got it here to Switzerland whithing 5 days. Pretty happy, I am changing the arm for a rigid one though, as these flexible ones vibrate to much.

Heh. Didnt even see that post. At least it was only a week ago. I would have been mad if this had been out for months and I had no idea. Can you point to what arm your are replacing the flexible one with?
I think I'll order Brodit mount with proklip for my Mazda.
Here we have in stock mounts mentioned by JKingDev but personally I don't like anything on my front window.

Keep in mind though, the one I linked looks like it uses the herbert richter mount system. You dont have to use the windshield mount. You can attach the device holder to other kinds of mounts.
I like the one from netimes.com very much but they only accept paypal payment which is not supported here in egypt does anybody know if there is some other vendor that supports plain visa payments ....thnx in advance

Originally I wanted to get one of those, but then I realized, they won't be of any use in landscape mode.
Now, I'm looking for something else.
Btw, you're right, it uses a standard herbert richter mount system.

There are a few richter mounts here. This one looks good but it is massive. Might be too much nerd factor for me. lol.

Hi JKingDev, you received yr mount yet? How's it and can it hold the X1 firmly in both portrait and landscape (and w/ keypad open) ?
The pic does not show any angled "edge" on clip which I am afraid X1 will accidentally fall out.

I have not received it yet. It is coming from Hong Kong and I did not expedite the shipping. It left HK on the 14th. jsmithe seems to have the same one though and he said it does hold it firmly. I will report back when I get mine. I cant wait.
I see what you mean by an angled edge. It is probably there just very tiny. It shouldnt take much to do the job.
I bought the brando car holder: very nice one.

with an amplifier, microphone, USB...

Thanks for this post. Am considering getting a couple of these. Just curious if anyone has one and if it'll work without taking the phone out of the case. I guess I'm lazy. ;-)
I've got one arriving in Australia tomorrow hopefully. I can't see it working with the leather case on though... sorry.

They work with the keyboard attached to the bottom, or not, but you need to take out of the case sorry.

Hi,
That one looks really nice !!!
I was interested on this one:
http://www.expansys.es/p.aspx?i=146664
but when I was going to buy it, I found this one:
http://www.expansys.es/p.aspx?i=149396&asource=146303
I like it because I could connect the Athena to car power directly, not taking care of the cable.
The one you are showing now is very similar too (but without the cable....).
Could be great to have them all and test them for few days ......
Best regards,
Alberto

The brodit Proclip is already available with a charging cable. Have to be careful "active" to proclip usually means it has an amp and speakers in it.

Not sure - looks like it might be a good solution but suction mount to dashboard? Never had much luck with them.
I always wondered why people raved about Brodit mounts (as they aren't cheap) until I bought one for my Universal. They are very well made and I think I'm going to have to get one for my Athena!
I use the HR holder and tower mount which sucks on to the windscreen, the ones that go on the dash are not too good as you need to stick down a self adhesive disk (supplied) but it won't come off without damaging your dashboard.
Alternatively I can use the HR holder with the excellent Brodit Pro Clip I have in the car, this provides the best solution, although you cannot clip on the keyboard. To be honest I wouldn't use the keyboard in the car anyway. - Mike

I got my device holder today from Proclipusa. It is real nice. Works great with the keyboard or without keyboard. Keyboard is securely held on. Buttons on front and side are easy to use, usb and sound ports are easy to get to. Looks much better than my wood prototype holder. $34.95 USD.
Ordered a charging cradle for the Advantage from proclipsusa.com order shows it has shipped hopefully will be here by the end of week
Apperantly they got them in stock earlier than expected.
The car kit looks nice, hopfully there's an affordable option for it. Any retailers selling it yet? I know some are pre order.
Yea I agree, although having to take the back of every time seems like a bit of a pain in the arse!!

I was hoping the new back sits permenantly on it, it just enables you to 'snap' it onto the car kit.
Don't think so, otherwise you have a 'bit' sticking out the back the whole time. Won't feel good in your pocket! I could be wrong though....I'm only going by the photographs.
Here's a retailer selling from the 11th. No price yet though.
Expansys have it but can't ship for 100 days.
Handtec have them from mid December
Clove are due stock from early December

I see what you mean about the bobble on the back.
I suppose the burning question is: how easy/quick is it going to be to remove the back. If it takes half a second to remove and another second to put the car kit version on, it's not really an issue. You can keep the car kit version in your glove box and whack it on when needed.
Looking at the pic I poster earlier. It looks maybe half of the width of the device again on the back. I don't think it would bother me as long as there was an un loseable insert to jam in it when not in use. That being said as the esteemed officer above me points out, how long does it take to switch a battery cover? With any cradle there is a certain element of fiddling involved.
I respectfully disagree The Brodit holders have the exact size for any given phone, so that you can literally drop it in and that's it!
That said, if it is only a 2 second job then it matters not. I still don't like the idea of taking the back on and off all the time...
What's up with that "special" menu enabled when the HD2 is docked in the car kit? Will that be available with a brodit holder too? What navigation software does it work with or is it just a short cut to any given software? Haven't found any information about it more then a few screen shots... ?
Is it just me or is it ridiculously expensive for a car kit?
yeah absolutely, HTC accessories site has it listed at 65P thats 60P more than I want to pay, also many retailers and ebay stores selling car chargers and wall chargers stated as compatible with HD2 yet the plug on their products is mini USB.
Yes, It is expensive and I won't like taking the back cover off all the time. I'll be waiting for something like the Brodit active holder...

All the mounts I have had since the XDA Mini S have been slide in like you say although not Brodit. Some have had the speaker built into the unit and some built into the cigarette lighter adapter. Been very pleased with all of them, not sure you could design one as flawless as these as they will have the micro USB and the 3.5mm audio jack to take into account.
What I meant by a certain element of fiddling is actually sliding it into the cradle, and sliding it out. As smooth as it is it still takes a certain amount of time. I think I could snap the cover off my TP and put a new one back in, then dock it into the magnetic holder on the dash either just as fast or faster than leaning forward and guiding the phone into the mount. Also I have a nasty habit of doinking the phone off the windscreen when removing it, my wife has a habit of just pulling the phone instead of securing the mount at retreival point which with the old mount resulted in her frequently ripping the sucker off the windscreen and I always seem to be handed the phone on silent or calling someone as she always manages to press buttons. I think I prefer the idea of docking it via the battery cover, or getting a new wife.

Hi, where would you recommend buying it online?
Thanks!
It does seem expensive for a car kit - Wonder what the chance is of o2 including the car kit with the phone like they did with my Orbit 2? Anyone got any idea?
The Brodit holders look like a good option though.
I'm looking for VENT (!!!) car mount for T-Mobile HD2. It has to be:
- swivel
- not PERMANENTLY attached, glued, etc
- low profile
- cheap (China/HK on eBay are fine)
- preferably allow me to use HD2 with low profile hard shell on it
- fits T-Mobile
I'm NOT looking for:
- suction mounts of any kind
- big ugly mounts with sticking out jaws ... they are scary
- fitted vent mounts for HD2 and not T-Mobile version
I know about Brodit/Richet ... but come on, they cost a fortune - cheap knock off is fine. For me
Would love a vent mount for the TMobile HD2 so I can mount it in my 2007 Silverado! I'll keep searching, and you keep us posted if you find anything!
I found one at Target - I cannot remember the brand, but it was advertised for the iPhone, wiht adjustable padded arms... $20
I bought this scoche mount have had it a week, and fully happy with it. Arms are adjustable to be taller if needed and it swivels. cost 19.99 @ frys electronics, or 24.99 with vent and windsheild mount. There is also a 9.99 model with no swivel. Hope this helps. http://www.scosche.com/products/sfID1/337/sfID2/364/sfID3/344/productID/1594
I'm looking for something like this. There are items for HTC HD2, but not for T-Mobile version

Sorry...I do not think you are going to find one specifically made to fit the TmoUS version unless you go with proclip (but its a permenant mount)
I ended up settling on this and it works pretty well...I too was worried that with the phone as thin as it is that the "jaws" would be huge...but its really not that bad at all. The holder is steady and does not wobble like the flexable goosneck style ones. It comes with both the windsheild mount and a vent mount...so you can use it either way.
I guess it works better because I can use it for my HD2, iphone, or Nexus One without having to do anything to it.

Buy some Kydex. You can use the same templet to lay it out. Heat the Kydex with a heat gun and mold it to the phone.
Go to knifekits dot com. they have the cheapest prices, and ship fast.
I have to recommend ProClip as well for this, even though it is the more expensive route. I'm sure you know the saying "You get what you pay for".
I've been using this company's holders for my past three devices. As I upgrade my device all that is needed is the specific holder for each new device, I already purchased the swivel and the mount. It is by far the best device holder I've used and I've gone through my fair share before finally doing it right. It is extremely solid and are made specifically for the vehicle you drive. I also purchased the desktop cradle. So from leaving my car I slide it out of the holder in my vehicle then slide it in to the cradle on my desk, very convenient.

Thanks for the pics. No doubt this is good quality, sure fit and all. But car mount + swivel holder + shipping is approx. $75 for my setup which I find kinda expensive for just VENT mount

Sorry I havent tried...
brackets
check www.bracketron.com. I have a universal usb power dock for my HD2 and love it. They have all kinds of different products that can fit any phone. The one I have plugs into the cig lighter adapter, has a usb plug for the phone + another universal lighter port on it. Full flex & pivot. Prices seem to be between $20 & $30.
Thanks. Yes, I did find bracketon during my search. The only problem is that for HD2 they have universal adapter with all those huge jaws I wanted to avoid Otherwise it will be OK. Too bad they dont have anything low profile.
They look bigger on the website, only extend about 1/2 in above the screen with the HD2 in it. I like that the 'jaws' have foam pads, so you can cramp the hell out of the phone w/ no worries of scratching, holds no matter what case or battery back you have. I had a 'sleek' one for my TP2, but it would push the invisible shield off of the sides when I put the phone in.
I was at CES this week and talked with a rep from Pro-Clip. The Nexus S car holders should arrive January 16th. No word on pricing yet.
Awesome news.
I'll reiterate the question I asked here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=899728
Is the headphone socket accessible when the phone is in the pro-clip??
Sorry - I didn't ask. I would be very surprised if that was covered. I have a contact there; I'll email and ask him.
I'll be very interested to know too. Thanks OP!
I'm sure it will be... I already ordered and have been running the fascinate model (because I can't live without my slingbox while driving) and although just a tad tight everything is accessible, charging plug & headphones.
I think they're all built the same aren't they... with the bottom portion open

jacksonj51: I'm actually talking about the active holder. It looks like your photo is showing the passive holder.
With the USB/charging port so close to the headphones socket, the design of the base of the clip is critical (http://www.samsungnexuss.com/wp-content/gallery/official/big3.jpg). Unless there is a special effort made to leave the headphones socket accessible, I fear it will be covered.

Purchased at Proclipusa. By far the best car phone holders around... I've tried alot. These fit perfect and the website gives the option to select the make and model of both your car and your phone.
I got the holder for the Fascinate because I didn't have the patience to wait for the official Nexus S holder.... it fits a tad too snug, I'd wait for their release of their nexus S holder as its supposed to be released in the next week or two
http://www.proclipusa.com/
Have these been released? Has anyone seen if the Active holder has a space for the audio jack?

It says to attach it to the Pro-clip mount, but I don't think the dock is made by Pro-clip?
Looks really cheap compared to the Pro-clip mount I bought for my G1.

Yes, the dock is made by the same company as the ProClip: Brodit.

So... anyone know yet if the headphone socket is accessible when the phone is in the holder??

I'm sure it will be... I already ordered and have been running the fascinate model (because I can't live without my slingbox while driving) and although just a tad tight everything is accessible, charging plug & headphones.
I think they're all built the same aren't they... with the bottom portion open

Is the fascinate a perfect fit in that holder? will having a BSE skin (or similar) prevent the phone from sliding in?

Yes the fascinate holder as I said earlier is a tad too snug, I'd get the official Nexus S holder and there is no way you'll be able to use any type of skin for these because they fit absolutely perfect with no room to sprare.
Sure, there it is, but Brodit doesn't let you purchase products from them directly. And when I select "USA" as my country, it tells me the reseller is proclipusa.com, which doesn't carry item #512227 - the holder for the NS. Grrr.
I emailed ProClipUSA asking when they were releasing the holder for the Nexus S:
Thank you for your interest in our ProClip Holders. We do anticipate making one, however due to the large number of new products we are developing, we cannot give a specific date as to when this will be available. You will be notified by e-mail as soon as the Holder has been received at our warehouse and is ready for online ordering.

It seems to be listed as available at Holders and Mounts in the UK...
Yes, "car holder" is probably not the right name for it, but I assume most of you know what I mean ;-)
I'm searching the original "thing" called SCS-410 including a charger. I can't find it in German stores in stock. Does one of you have a dealer with international shipping which has this thing in stock?
Here's a picture of the "thing" ;-)

Can't you order it from amazon? I think they deliver it globally. It's fantastic. I have it since Friday. Don't want to miss it anymore!
I can't recommend this hardware. The suction cup and holder are ok, but the swivel head is the weak point. It jiggles so much, it is hard to read the display.
Had to sent it back and ordered a holder from Hongkong for half the price.

Thanks for confirming this! I thought I have a problem but seems this is the main flaw of this holder - I believie this is because phone itself is little bit heavy...

I can't confirm this. You need to screw down tight the head. For me this holder fits perfectly to my needs.

are you saying the head with the phone inside is stable and not bouncing while driving?
My holder is fine while driving

Same for me. It is holding perfectly and I can read all the information Navigon shows. Btw. it is 10 Euros cheaper than my older Nokia car holder was.
Works great for me and I'm not sure if most universal mounts have this but this is one has the magnet to automatically switch to the car launcher.

Exactly.
The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters.

I did so, if I screwed it tighter, the ring would've been broken. Seems as if there are two different charges/versions on the market.
The HK source is "rpas_group" on ebay.
hi all ,
i want buy it but on Official Lg shop is out of stock .
I will try on the ebay or ??
I bought this holder just the other week and find it quite ingenious, well, as ingenious as a phone-holder for the car can get. There is a baseplate for mounting it on the car dashboard and the standard suction cup for the window. It can be rotated and tilted, but I guess that is pretty much standard.
I do have to say though, even when fastened very tight the phone does jiggle a bit, it is solid though and won't fall off. No problem reading what the satnav tells me, but it does jiggle a bit.
