Car holder/ mount...

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.

Docks

I will need to switch to Verizon within the next few months (due to work reasons). I am currently using a Nexus One on TMobile and plan to get the Droid Incredible on Verizon when I switch.
I am waiting patiently for root access to be gained but also had some other concerns before switching. A main concern is that I have not heard mention of car/home docks for the device.
I currently own the car and home docks for the Nexus One and use them regularly. I am hoping the Incredible will also have a nice docking system like this.

I need a dock and a car mount, too! I have to ask, but does N1 stuff work with DI?

no.........

I just purchased a general use windshield mount from best buy which works pretty well on the Incredible.

I would suggest ProClipUSA they offer a wide variety of windshield mounts and you can just swap out the device holder if you carry more than one item with you or you change phones often.

This issue, for me, is not holding the device. I like having a car dock like the Nexus One because it provides integrated charging functionality. I do not want to fiddle around with an extra adapter and plugging in my device. I want to be able to drop my device into the dock and have it do what I want it to do
Also, the N1 car dock launches Car Home upon docking. Just perfect.

I got a factory windshield mount today.
It's pretty slick. It's a clip in, belt holder, but the back of it allows it to mount to the neck of the window piece.
There's even a cutout in the holder so you can videos while you drives

that also allows you to use street view with augmented reality in Google Maps, but your right, it makes for a great use to take car video
i don't know if augmented maps is available in the US just yet though
see augmented reality example below:

That would be perfect if a charger was built in.

It's not, unless there's a side manual plug in type port!

Currently own the car dock mentioned in the thread, not overly impressed with it, but maybe I didnt bother to take the time to make it work. Came from the droid dock, which went where you put it and stayed there, especially helpful for when you have to plug it in. This dock has 3-4 articulated points that dont work so hot, then the fact that its actually a holster "attached" to the actual dock through a quarter inch piece of plastic adds another element of instability to the system. Tightening the joints does not help much, the holster clip still rotates freely and overall makes plugging the phone in while docked a major pain, in most cases requiring both hands to hold the phone still enough to plug it in. The window mount also leaves something to be desired, after dumping my incredible on the floor for the 3rd time, I gave up on the thing. I know how to apply suction mounts and this one falls well short, maybe I just got a bad one or something, but it will not stay on the windshield while the weight of the phone is on it. Overall, threw it away because I wanted just a car dock, if I wanted a holster I would have bought a holster. If it had been incorporated into the mount in a better way to give more stability to the dock I would be alright with it.

The belt clip, to me, is a huge feature. Don't need it? you just leave it clipped to the window mount.
I'm on the other side of the fence... to me it works great, has never fallen off my window, and has been very stable! It's better than the motodroid dock imho (sans the sideways orientation via magnets that the DI lacks).
When one comes out that has a charging port that you can dock to, I'm getting it! Isn't seidio working on one? Maybe it was another company?

You guys might want to try one of those universal grip holders. I don't really care for things hanging off my windshield, so I had an arkon SM429-SBH mega grip attached to the arkon air vent mount and it worked out really good with my G1. I tried putting my friend's Incredible in there and it fits, no blocked ports. they have a windshield mount too, if that's your thing.

So far all of the Incredible docks suck.
Unfortunately there is no car or home dock for the Droid Incredible that is nearly as good as the docks for the Nexus One. This is a sad fact of Incredible ownership.
It seems that iPhones get the best accessories.

I use the factory windshield mount, and I just ordered the cradle featured in this link, http://www.oriongadgets.com/HTC-Dro...radle-with-2nd-battery-support-pid-11366.html

I have a similar mount I bought on ebay (here), and while it works, the phone sits completely vertical, 90 degrees to the desktop. Not a very comfortable viewing angle, lol. I may get one of those like you bought, as it looks like it's held a bit better than the stand I have. I definitely don't mind plugging the phone in, as I have to do it anyway...
As for car docks, there is one company who has a powered doc. Proclip has this mount, but you have to purchase the attachment point for your vehicle seperately, and the price rolls up pretty fast (for my truck, it was 109 before shipping, so I'm holding off on it for now). Nice thing is though that you can buy a version of it that wires into the vehicle, so you can hide the cabling a bit better than the chargers we use now.
I'm going to try to get some pictures of my desktop mount today or tonight, but I think it's going to require some modification to make it work how I wanted it to.

Car mount?

Hi,
What kind of car mount do you use? And where did you buy it?
If possible, put a photo of it
Thanks.

i'm just using a Generic car mount for PDA from DealExtreme

I bought this universal dock on eBay and LOVE it. It mounts to your CD player in your dash instead of on the top of the dash or windshield.

nice concept, but it will not work on mine, since my CD player slot is hidden
and it looks like as if that thing can pop out and fall at any time
how does it latches to the slot?
just using those 4 little wings to insert inside, i don't think those will hold.
i'll like that car mount, if they had an Air Vent clip for it

I'm thinking about getting this: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/universal-silicone-car-mount-for-all-gps-33213
Anyone have any experiences with silicone grip mat products like this one?

No it wont pop out, its 'wings' splay up and down and grip to the inside of the cd player mounting judging by the video

Arkon SM428
I bought an Arkon SM428 on Amazon.com for my Vibrant, but works just as well for the NS I just got Vibrant got smashed in car door . Dirt cheap too. Don't let the screws in the picture scare you, only necessary if you don't have a flat enough surface for the doublestick foam tape, which holds tight. Easy to rotate 90 degrees when needed.

Bought it from seller "GPS Cheap"
Hope you find this useful.

I got this from best buy, I mounted it in thespace that holds all my crap near my shifter

Here's some pictures I took.
https://picasaweb.google.com/nXtIak/CDPhoneMount?feat=directlink
2004 Mazda 3i.
The bottom part is removable, have to remove it to be able to plug in a charger, since it's very very close to the bracket. Mount holds the phone fine with the sides.
I'm not sure how I'm going to use the mount. Installed up or down, been trying both.
You can only swivel the mount updown/left/right just a little bit, so I'm sure in certain cars you won't get a great view of your phone.
The mount does shake a little bit while driving. Tightening the cd slot screw does not help.
Overall, I like it.

The CD slot one is great. Really good quality, plus I like it mounted there a lot better than on top of the dash or the windshield. I have been using it for a couple months now and I still love it.
Plus it is very easy to remove to put a CD in if you want to use a CD, then you can replace the phone holder and the CD will still play fine.

If you're willing to wait, dunno when, Kidigi is planning to release some car mounts. They look nice, but expensive as usual. About the same price as the HTC car mount for the Nexus One. Just google Kidigi and visit their online store.

Wow, for a passive holder, this is amazing:

Try this I have been using them for the last two years with the many phones I have had and all mounts are amazing. They work really well and are made for your vehicle and phone in mind, for a total of 84.95 for the entire kit.

I actually found this while wondering around BestBuy, which means Im sure you can find it for 50% less then I paid for it there. :º)
Although our phone is not listed as compatible, it actually fits it like a glove, even in my thin case.

Im not a fan of the extension arm, it feels as cheap as it looks. The dash mount works perfectly for me in my Subaru.
Best part of all is that not of the plugs or camera are blocked.

[ACC MOD TUTORIAL]Note cardock modded for Note II Updated 2/6/13 [pics]

I have succesfully modded a Note cardock to work on my Note II. I had to put a small piece of Velcro to use as a shim at the bottom, and grind the bottom corners to allow the phone to go further down so it could make contact with the charging port. Works great. Got the dock off Amazon for $30
Edit: 2/6/13
I have been using this mod for a while now but have not been completely satisfied with it. Especially with the way that the micro usb jack was seating into the phone. so I decided to try and solve that issue which solved a couple of other issues... I will explain.
1.Remove the screws from the back of the sliding bottom from the back as shown
2.Then take an exacto knife and gently slide it in the edge and twist opening the tabs as well as the bottom.
3.Remove the 4 screws holding the module board in place and remove board.
4.Shave off the thickness of the circuit board from the standoffs that the board mounts on. if you take a little extra on the tow closest to the front it will tip the jack a bit so you don't need the Velcro shim any longer.
5.Remove the four screws that hold the slider to the mount
6.Take a ratt tailed file and thin out the bottom of the cradle.
7.Reassemble
You now will find that each and every time you insert it into the cradle it will go into your favorite docking program. Mine is CarHome Ultra. You also will have audio coming from the 1/8" jack on the back.
Here is a video link of it in action... http://db.tt/GV1RJwY3
From what I can tell the micro usb jack was not getting fully into the phone causing it to not work as designed. I will also mention that I am on Perseus alpha32 kernel which has been modded to work with docking stations on JB.
I hope you can appreciate this tutorial because I did take the time to un assemble my dock for you just to put these pics online
Hit Thanks if you Like...

Hello... any chance you could post a picture showing your Note II in the modded Mount?

They're not the same size, so some modifications will be necessary.

Looks very good but it doesnt seem safe, looks like with couple bumps on the road the phone will drop.

No No No
I love a good hack that saves me money but to answer everyone's question, this is NOT a solid solution!!! I have a Note 1 and a Note 1 Samsung Card Dock.
First, getting it in and out of the dock is not easy. You have to line it up just right. Sure a little filing will help with that, but then you loose a little grip. So in the end the only thing holding the phone is the top tension and the tension you apply on the USB plug via the Velcro Shim.
Last of all, I could not get the Audio over USB to work. I did not see anyway to get the GNII to see that it had been placed in a car dock. This might require an additional download but I found nothing on Playstore that supported my phone.
BTW: I tested on the International Version.
Would love to agree with this hack, but just can't
-

So after using this for a few days now I will say the phone fits in just fine I drive 30 miles day and have not had a problem with the phone falling out.
In fact it fits very tight, although I did a little filing on the top tabs. It fits tight enough that you can hear it snap in. It is a great solution and the above poster is stating an opinion. It will not read the phone as being docked because this phone is not capable of that feature. There are topics on this. I do use car ultra home which solves this solution for me. It is ten times better than a universal holder. I will work on a video for you this weekend.

Haven't had a second phone to do the video with yet but been several weeks and I still use it everyday.
The speaker output does work. You have to turn it on in settings/accessories.

I just purchased one of the Note I docks off e-Bay for $15. I made the modification and it charges just fine...but I'm not getting any audio out through the jack on the back of the dock. I've changed the setting in accessories to "Use external speakers when device is docked"...but I don't get any sound. Is there anything else I need to do? I'm replacing my Galaxy SII (same style dock) and I really want to be able to feed Pandora and Google music directly to the aux input on my car stereo.... just as I did with the SII.
Thanks!

I was not able to get the AUX out to work with the car dock. However, I was able to come up with what has turned out to be an even better solution. I'm still using the car dock (original Note dock) for power.
However, I purchased an item from eBay. (just do a search for "Wireless Bluetooth Audio Music Receiver 3.5mm Dongle For Cell Phone MP3 MP4 PC"). This unit is under $10!
With this item...I simply connected via bluetooth from the phone...then connected this unit to the AUX input for my car stereo and works great...and sounds great.

Do you think a Note 2 with a Flip-cover will fit this solution?
Looks like it does, but I'm not sure.
really hope to find a car holder that will fit the Note 2 with a Flip-cover.

Re: [ACC MOD]Note cardock modded for Note II [pics]
No, you will need to remove the flip cover.

Galaxy Note 2 Car Mount ? W/Electronics?

Hello all,
I know, not another car mount thread.... Well here's the scoop, like a good boy I read through every other thread I could find and it seems like there really isn't a good car mount that can hold the Galaxy Note 2, nor are there any that have charging cables or stereo out cables.
Is this true or is there a mount that can truly hold the GN2 (even with a case?) that might have charging / audio out capabilities? I just am looking for something rock solid that at least holds the darn phone in place on my dash.
I know that there are 2 mounts - one out there by Samsung (and their distributor) as well as the Iottie (link below) but both have a lot of reviews claiming that the phone really doesn't fit and isn't held in well by the mounts.

Well, for suction cradle I went for the Exogear Exomount 2.
For stand-plug cradle I went for Capdase RacerMount.
Both hold my Note2 with case snugly.
I can even find interesting friction mounts for up to 7".
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app

i honestly love the iottie one, even with the folio flip cover from samsung. phone is held nice and snug, and the suction cup on it is none like I've ever seen. so god damn sticky that its like its 'glued' on but not. grips to any surface

I have the iottie and I think its awsome. The suction cup is amazing and will stick to pretty much anything, dash, console, wall of living room. Its impressive. Alittle 2 sticky when your trying to move it. It is also very flexable to the positoning that is available. It also will hold the device with any case or shell you can put on it. And the quick latch function is nice also... I highly recomend and like this mount

I have iOtttie as well. Yes, it's a real PITA get off the dash or windowshield. It's open enough that you have full access to all the ports. I've even recorded video with GN2 while in the dock.
Here's a crap video I shot with the GN2 in the iOttie dock:
you can see the section cup holder for the dock in the bottom right corner. The other upper left suction cup holds the satellite radio dock. Everyone wants to listen to NFL radio, LOL. Too bad I had the flash on, might have been able to see the van laying on it's side.

Does the Iottie allow for too much stress on the charging port?

Hello all,
I know, not another car mount thread.... Well here's the scoop, like a good boy I read through every other thread I could find and it seems like there really isn't a good car mount that can hold the Galaxy Note 2, nor are there any that have charging cables or stereo out cables.

Thanks buddy - I just bought the iottie - looks good n sturdy.
Another FYI - I had the Exogear mount previously, I wouldn't recommend it as the rubber pieces that "grip" your phone fall off after a couple of months .

Proclip Charging dock?
Hey guys, has anyone tried the Proclip car dock for this phone? I'm trying to figure out if it's USB 4 or 5 pin, so as to support audio and charging on one cable, I figured I just find an OTG cable to then plug into that and go from there.
Sorry about the URL workaround, seems that I need to post 10 times before being able to put an actual URL in, which is lame, so just replace the "DOT" with an actual "."

Slim-Grip® Ultra Car Mounts for Smartphones & Tablets
Note 2 with an Otterbox Defender. I've even used this mount with my Nexus 7. My girlfriend uses the same mount base with her GS3. Never had an issue with it falling off.

Well, a little late to this thread but I just got the ProClip unit for the Note 2 that works with the Otterbox Defender case. This is the second ProClip unit I've had. The first being for the EVO 4G. The phone fits into the holder perfectly but you might have to wiggle it around to get it to sit right.
The unit that holds the phone without a case may fit easier.
The one thing with the unit for the EVO 4G was it didn't put it into car mode. I found the unit for the Note 2 also doesn't go into car mode but I have been reading where that might be a problem with phone itself.
