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.

I received it this week. I haven't received my HD7 but it works for my HTC Tilt 2 just fine. Its really practical for me. I never use CDs and even if I wanted to its really easy to just yank off. I have gone through many cellphone car mounts but they were too bulky and cheaply made. This one is pretty ergonomic and sturdy. The one thing I hated from the other mounts is that if the car is going through bumps the phone would be bouncing around so much I couldn't see the screen clearly. The phone is really firm and steady with this mount, even in the most roughest bumps. Its a keeper.

car mount

Anyone using a car mount with this yet? I've seem some generic looking ones on ebay. Hoping for one that will work in a cup holder rather than suction cupping to the window. I also dislike the idea of using an adjustable goose neck (like the floor mount uses) because of past experience with an eeepc on one of those. It didn't hold the eeepc still.
Anyone using one?

if you look about 2 pages back youll see a post where a guy made a car mount.

did a search and didn't find anything. I saw a video on youtube but I couldn't make out how it mounted. I'll look for that thread.

couldn't find the thread... link?

Ordered this:

Hopefully it will work. The guy selling them said it is very sturdy and shouldn't be a problem and comparing my eeepc to the nook, the nook is much much lighter. maybe it will handle the gooseneck.

I'm curious, are you using it as a GPS? Or perhaps as MP3 player? Both? please let us know how that mount works. I'd love to turn my nook into a car navigation and mp3 player.

yes I am. I have to rig up some car charger power for it now.

I worried over how I was going to mount mine for quite a while, then I realized I could use a storage compartment already built into my '05 Altima. It's the perfect location above the radio, right where I'd want my navi to be anyways. The compartment door opens up all the way and allows the Nook to sit right in between it and the bottom of the compartment. I use a BN silicone case so I don't scratch it, but it's the perfect fit and there's no way it can fall out. Just thought I'd show off with a pic, it looks really sweet at night especially.

That is super sweet man. I have an 05 sentra but mine won't really fit there. It will lay in there with the thing popped open if I don't do any fast acceleration. haha.

Universal car dock?

Do any of you use a universal car dock?
I'd like to be able to clip it to the vents so that I can easily reach it for navigation.
Anyone using one that they'd recommend?

I have this one and I'm very happy with it. It's not a vent holder though. I found that the SNS is a bit big to hang off the vents.
EDIT: I can't post links so just search ebay for 'nexus arkon'.

I have this one, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003Y3BEV4 it's meant for the IP4 but works great with our phone. I like the fact that I can use it with other phones in the future.

I use a clingo car holder, its golden, if your in vancouver you can probably find one at london drugs, thats where i got mine

Clingo is great.. for about 3-6 months.
I've gone through four Clingo mounts. Every time, after a few months the green backing starts literally falling apart and leaving residue on the back of the device.
I really wanted to love Clingo. But the pads are basically disposable. Sadface.

I use this one as well, it worked for my evo, nexus S, and my wife's pre, and an ipod.
It also comes with a window attachment AND a vent attachment. I've seen it on amazon for as low as 8.99 so I actually own two.
Throw an NFC tag on that with a nexus and pure gold

Car Mount

Anybody know if there is a car mount available that is either specific to the Holiday, or one that is universal but works just as well? I want to try iOnRoad:
Not that I need it, because I'm a good driver.. lol just curious as to how well it works. Plus, I use navigation on occasion and it would be nice to have a real mount rather than propping the phone up on the dash or holding it.

Here you are.

Awesome. But, you know, I can't really Google any car mounts Vivid users have already tried out and experienced for themselves. Because even though I have, I haven't found any. So that's really why I asked. Nice try, though.

next time, maybe you should check the google links before trying to be funny... you know... the ones that don't actually have mounts for the vivid...
thanks.

While they don't have one for the Vivid/Raider yet, I've always used ProClip mounts (Brodit outside of North America). They come in two pieces, one custom fit to the vehicle and one custom fit to the phone, and I like it very much. I've emailed them to see if they'll make a Vivid mount, but they gave the standard "We don't know what our plans are" answer. If people are interested, email them, maybe if they get enough questions, they'll actually make one!

The ProClips are ok. I've used them before. However, I've really grown to like the Scosche universal that you can find at Walmart. It uses two small bottom feet and has sticky gel on the back to hold the phone.
It comes with a windshield mount. When the gel loses its stick, just clean it with a damp rag. Mine has lasted through three cellphones and going.

Kensigton Universal Car Mount
I just bought this a few weeks ago and it work excellent with the Vivid, it holds the phone securely and has very minimalist design. To remove the phone from the holder is just a press of a button. I used the vent clip mounting option, as I prefer not to obstruct the windshield with anything. Below is the link to the product page on Amazon, which is where I bought it from.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003SE6LD0

I picked up a thunderbolt dock last night at Verizon (only $10) cut off the left side (farthest from plug) and it fits and world really well, im ganna add some foam to the back so it fits in better and more securely.

I am actually using a Kensington iPhone car mount (can't post a link yet) granted my Vivid isn't in a case but its only about $10 on Amazon and it holds the phone snugly while given access to the charging port and can rotate from lanscape to portrait easily.
The only issue I have is that the mic on this phone is so weak that I can't be heard on the phone if I answer on speakerphone while driving. Does anyone know a fix for this?

Anyone know if htc makes different cradles for their car docks? I recently looked at an htc car mount/ dock for an evo 3d and it looks like an amazing mount with superior quality. I found a way to take off the evo 3d specific "cradle" and was wondering why they designed it that way if I couldn't find any other cradles online. It would totally make sense if I could go to a parts website and just buy the cheap cradle part. The mount is clearance at Best Buy so this would be the best inexpensive option I think.

Ive actually been in the market for a vent mount myself. I dont like window mounts mainly because they put your phone where it's sitting right in the sun the entire time its in the mount. Vent mounts help some to keep it out of the sun. I haven't bought one yet, but I plan to in the near future. However, before I do, I think I'm going to try this first. Found it in another thread, thought I'd share it here too.
http://lifehacker.com/5747897/how-to-build-a-car-mount-for-your-cellphone-from-office-supplies

My personal favorite is still the Mountek.

My first mount for my Inspire was a mountek. It worked great for what it is. I read somewhere that:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0052G6IRG/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
can be modified to fit the phone. Mine is due to arrive tomorrow and found this thread looking for the other thread lol. IIRC you have to modify (or cut off for the less handy) the portion of the mount that curves around the top of the phone (mic jack area). No worried as the USB port with firm top/bottom clamping should hold the phone from lateral movement in landscape modes. I definately would not try to have it hold the phone upside down when modified.

Try a type similar to the Rocketfish Universal mount...
Hi guys,
Just recently got the Vivid. Best Buy sells the Rocketfish Universal mount for about $25 or so. I'm sure there's something similar out on the web...I like this mount because I can move the arms/feet around the buttons and still secure the phone in mount. Useful if you have a GPS (like google navigate doesn't do a fair job) or another phone that you swap in and out with...
Would love to find a mount suitable for a '95 Honda VT1100 (though with some velcro strapping the Rocketfish would work. Any suggestions there?

Try installing "Equalizer", from the AppBrain market. It really will boost the sound quality both ways, and it's customizable.

Does yours allow the phone to actually charge properly? Mine it just slowly drains, figured I would see what your results were before dropping even more money on yet another cig lighter to usb port. My current one is spec'd to 500mA so if its functioning its provides the juice.
EDIT: Tested in car mode attached directly to the charger and it still slowly drained. must not be the dock then :/
