Need car mount for rental cars when traveling

I do a lot of business travel and I have found that the windshield mount is not working well for me and my DINC. The last rental car windshield slanted so far back it made it hard to reach my cig lighter for charge.
I need a dashboard mount but need one that is designed to be taken in/out of cars often...not fixed or where the sticky tape will wear out quickly of get stuff on the sticky when in my bag.
Any suggestions pls???

Get one with a vent clip. They work pretty well.

Aa traveler, I can't believe I never thought of a vent clip. -- Tanks!

Actually I find every time I bring only the vent clip I get one of those cars with stupid circle vents which never hold the clip correct. I gave up on the vent type.
This one has both to choose from.

I bought one from walmart for $20 in the automotive accessories section. It's a windshield suction cup mount and works very well.

I have not checked-out each link in this thread, but I want to remind you that some towns or states, like California, enforce a law where NOTHING can be mounted to the windshield.
I have traveled to CA often.

I have it and use it everyday. It's very sturdy and works really well. It accommodates my phone with the extended battery.
You can find it on ebay for $14 and if you use billmelater, you get $10 credit.

Car Dock

I really hope they make a good car dock for the nexus s. My nexus one car dock was amazing!

I love having the N1 car dock, but the lack of audio output on that thing really sucks. Several times a day I get to dock my phone *and* plug in an audio cable. I could use BT stereo, but the quality is bad. (And since N1 lacks a dock connector, even if the car dock had stereo output, it would use BT.)
That said, doesn't the NS have a real dock connector on it?
I'm keeping my N1 and upgraded my wife's G1 to the NS. The availability of a car dock is the only consideration in whether I upgrade my own phone or not.

No dock connector. The only charge point is through the micro USB port.

Ditto! Ditto! Ditto!

If you're with tmobile they sale an universal car MOD EDIT that charges your phone. An extra step yes but lets be real, its worth out to do video calling on the road. that's the only reason I want one.

I've read good things with Arkon car docks. Probably gonna get myself one if I don't see an official one for the S soon.

What universal car docks are you using for your NS now?

They could easily use NFC to launch the dock app, and it would be possible to make an inductive charging back like they had on the palm pre.

No dock port so I have to settle with something more generic. I use this Arkon dock currently in my car. It's the most compact looking one I can find.

I've ordered a Vlingo that will attach to the vent, just until I can get a Brodit...
I could really do with a decent univerals dock though, as I change phones every 3 months

That looks much better than the one I'm using right now. For $12 I'm going to give it a shot.

Eh, I wouldn't recommend that Arkon dock. It's a tight fit for the phone. I bought one when I had the Vibrant and I didn't like how tight of a fit it was. If I was ever in a hurry, I'd be afraid that I would break that dock. It's great for the iPhone because the size is smaller, but for the 4" phones, I would not recommend (especially when you're using a case). But that's just from my experience.
I'm currently using this universal dock. It might not fit your needs since it uses one of those "patented" sticky technologies.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Platinu...1414202&skuId=1199257&st=mobiledock&cp=1&lp=1
Got a free $20 rewards certificate from Best Buy so I used it on that dock. It's actually a very good dock. I haven't used it with any cases though, so that might be a 50/50 thing. You can look up "bracketron" on youtube to see a clip of it. It's worth the $5 I paid for, perhaps not $24 though.

I think you might be thinking of the original iphone 4 version. They came out with the universal one later, which is specifically made for larger phones.

Besides the custom one for vibrant, it's the best looking universal holder I've ever had. I have the another Arkon universal holder that squeeze from the sides, which works well but a bit large and ugly IMO. This has only 4 little legs that can be seen from the front. The legs are angled in, so they hold the phone really well. Due to the position of the legs being on top/bottom, I wouldn't recommend use it side way. It holds the phone vertically perfectly well. On the topic of size, unlike the original iphone 4 version of the same dock, its body at the lower part can be extended to accommodate larger phone. As for the back of the holder, it's the same as the other universal one I own, one hinge at the suction cup and one ball joint at the holder, both adjustable. I'd still get this one if given a chance to go back in time. Everything said is my own personal opinion of course.

Awesome, thank you for the write-up. One more question, in portrait mode, is the microUSB port obscured? I want to make sure the port isn't blocked for a car charger.
It's unfortunate that you don't recommend using this in landscape mode, but I suppose at $12 that's something I could live with. College budget ftl. >_>

The USB port I'd not block at all. The right bottom leg can be adjusted to avoid audio port also.

I thought that too... I don't know how well inductive charging like a power mat would work with the NFC antenna. I also don't know that you can use the NFC to launch an app... isn't it link driven? Maybe that's something you could do with intents, I haven't given it too much thought. I think the inductive charging is the bigger issue.
Does anyone know if the NS has the magnetic switch to detect a dock?

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.

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?

I'm using the same Kensington car mount. Bought it off Amazon because I saw it on sale for 6 bucks. Works quite well!

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 :/

Bionic Lapdock works!

Just went out and bought one for 50$. Droid 4 fits perfectly with no need to modify anything at all, fits and works.

As an owner of the Bionic Lapdock, and a Droid 4, I must partially disagree.
The Droid 4 does not fit snugly. It does work, but it does not sit flat, and cannot be used with the OEM case. You have to remove the shell case to use the docking mechanism (unlike the bionic).
It is, however, a minor inconvenience for such an awesome accessory. Also, those that use webtop 3.0 beta (from the leak) will find the controlls are not the same on the docks for as they were for the linux based version of webtop.
I still wish there was a tablet-like dock similar to the Asus PadFone.

What are you talking about? It fits 100% snug doesn't move at all. And who uses cases anyway?

Anyone got pictures of this? I would love to see, as I'm tinkering with the idea of getting one if I can see how it looks.

Well, I use a kickstand case/holster combo and yeah, it's not petite, but I'm 6'7" (2m for your Euro types) and 300 lbs (> 135 kg, > 21 stone for you English traditionalists) and it's not outsized in my hand or on my belt.
So, yeah, some of us use cases.
TBH, the Bionic lapdock not being case-friendly isn't the crippling liability. The real seal-the-deal disqualifier is the fact that the Bionic lapdock's touchpad is not multitouch.
(Is this the part where someone goes "Who uses the touchpad?" ?)
I think the appropriate Slashdot meme is "In South Korea, only old people use the touchpad."

I have an Otterbox on my Droid 4 and after some minor modification, my phone fits like a glove in the lapdock at the back without having to take the case off.
(I actually have the Atrix lapdock but they are essentially identical. Actually, I think the Atrix dock is about $20-$30 cheaper, at least where I am; I got it brand new from bensoutlet.com for $60 shipped.)
First, I used a razor to trim off the annoying silicon flap from the Otterbox that covers the USB and HDMI ports.
I removed the cover for the docking interface and slightly bored out the two holes for the USB and HDMI male ends before reversing them so that the phone will mount properly. In order to make them reach out far enough to dock the phone on with the case still on it, I wedged a few slices of a white gum eraser that I cut to fit behind the cable ends so that they stick out about 3/4 of an inch; plenty of room now to slide the phone on while it is in the Otterbox and the newly extended jacks are super solid without any wiggle room at all. It actually feels sturdier than it did before when mounting it without a case on as I find that the bulk of the case helps to fill out the platform the phone docks on.
Now that the two male ends of the USB and HDMI connections stick out slightly further than they used to, I had to get creative in order for the flip-down docking pad to properly close. Took me 5 more minutes to Dremel out two small openings that would allow for the dock to shut, and now it works perfectly.
It's true that the touchpad isn't multitouch, but I use a Bluetooth mouse 99% of the time anyways so it doesn't really impact how much I love this thing. For $60, you can't go wrong!
I'll post some pictures of it shortly, I'm out now and don't have it handy. I'm pretty amazed at how easy it was to do, and it doesn't look like a hack-job at all.

Car Mounts?

Does anyone know of any current or upcoming car mounts that would be good for this phone?
I currently use this one for my Note 4 and it OK at best. The phone is too heavy for it so it falls off my air vents from time to time (or swings off if I turn to fast lol).
https://www.amazon.com/WizGear-Universal-Swift-Snap-Technology-Smartphones/dp/B00PGJWYJ0/
Would rather not use this for the Note 8 as I know the glass is more fragile.

this is the best mount I've found so far. I use it with my s8+ and it's never fallen off.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M4J0G7I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_wsC6B9f2K5C4r

If you don't mind giving up a cup holder this is the best mount I've ever used.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00F0IQTE8/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1503712559&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=ikross+cup+mount+holder&dpPl=1&dpID=51xVyfDYDuL&ref=plSrch

I would highly recommend any one of the osomounts from Amazon. I have owned one myself for around four years and it's so strong, it requires a good amount of force to pull of the glass, really good mount.

Will be waiting a little bit more before getting a car mount but I might use the WizGear mount

The thing is that I'd rather avoid mounting of the glass but maybe I'll look into it.

Thanks for sharing offer code.

These folks offer the best mounts, IMO.

Been using the same one for years.

Best one with one exception

The connection between the phone and mount were great, even with the battery pack on it. However between the car and mount wasn't great, so I added sugru and now its the best one i ever had.

Any good fast wireless charging vent mounts out there? Not looking for the magnetic ones, just a nice small simple one with grips on the side that a Note 8 will fit in.

I am looking for one too. The metal plate will prevent wireless charging to work. I will certainly let you know when I find one.

There is only one car mount anyone should ever buy, and that's the Craigsdocks mount:

Pay the money for it once and you'll never need to buy another! I hated the thought of universal docks until I tried this thing out. Owner is super nice, will reply to your questions with personalized videos if necessary, and this thing just works better than anything else on the market - trust me, I drive for a living, I'm in the car between 30-50K miles a year. I know what works and what doesn't!

I live down 15 miles of real bad dirt road, and have been using these for 6 months now. Not once has my phone fallen off.

To me, the best mount is the Pro Clip. You need two pieces, the vehicle specific mount and the phone holder. I use a large universal since I change phones a lot.

CD mount with Qi charging
I ordered this from eBay. I will take the gamble for $12.59. CD mount with Qi charging.

I have recently bought the magnetic mount by Spigen. It allows me to adjust my Galaxy Note 8 in any direction with its 360 degree adjustable nature. Using this mount is proved very comfortable for me. Hence, I recommend it to you also.
