Edit: Discussion of the Motorola Car Dock. I'd be happy to answer any questions about it and I'll try to keep the Q&A from the thread consolidated in this first post.
Moto Version: The product includes the Moto Dock, USB/audio hybrid cable, Motorola dual USB 850mA car charger, suction cup mount and adhesive disc mount, 3.5mm stereo cable, removable adapter plate for when you are/aren't using a case.
VzW Version: The product includes the Moto Dock, suction cup mount and adhesive disc mount, 3.5mm stereo cable, removable adapter plate for when you are/aren't using a case. It DOES NOT include a car charger or charging cable, but it does have a receptacle on the back of the mount to plug in your existing micro USB charger.
Happy with the dock so far.
Compatible Cases (known)
- Incipio Featherweight
- W/ Extended Battery: TPU Case
Q&A
Q: Can anyone tell me if the Motorola Car Dock obstructs the rear facing camera?
A: No obstruction of the rearview camera.
Q: If you use the 3.5 headphone jack to play audio thru your radio can you still recieve calls with hands free or do you have to unplug it from the phone?
A: You can still receive calls with hands free, you don't have to unplug the audio cable.
Q: Will a Bionic in a Otterbox Defender fit in the car mount? If not, will taking of the silicone part help?
A: Pending confirmation.
No but you need to mount it to the dash...

I don't remember where it was, but somewhere in the options for the car dock you can tell it to stop prompting you with the terms every time you dock it. I know I found it and turned off the terms prompt because I don't see it anymore.
You can stop the agreement from coming up right on the agreement screen itself. Just scroll down before clicking accept and there is a box to check. Its very simple

Thanks for the info on the bluetooth adapter. If you're not a big fan of Moto's Car Dock app, you can download other dock apps like "Car Dock Home v3".
If you get the Costco bundle it does come with a charger, just fyi.

Just to clarify...is the car charger packaged in with the Moto Dock...or are you saying Costco includes a car charger as part of their accessory bundle?
Anyone know if something like this would get the audio-out from the USB port and allow charging simultaneously? The only problem is it is mini USB but there are micro to mini usb adapters.

I'd like to be able to only plug in 1 thing and get both the stereo out to my car stereo (pandora) and charge it.
Charger
I bought my Moto car dock from a Verizon retail store, and it included a charger. Maybe you should open a few boxes to be sure you didn't get one with the charger removed.

Weird....when I checked the reviews on the VzW website...most of the people there are saying it doesn't come with a charger. I'm not at home but I'll post up the UPC/SKU #s when I get home so we can compare. Maybe there are 2 different models floating around? Mine was $39.99, how about yours?
Here we go. Combine this -
http://www.amazon.com/Plam-Power-Audio-Adapter-800/dp/B001D4K6LU
with a charger and this -
http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Head...UUGC/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1318445980&sr=8-6
This should allow a 1 plug solution on the car dock so that you can charge and output streamed audio to your car stereo. Just pop in your Bionic and done.

Forget the above. Here is the cable that comes with the Motorola car mount. There is no picture but this was confirmed on a Motorola support forum. It's almost half the cost of the whole kit, may as well buy the whole kit.

Ok, so the moto car dock i got from the VzW store is model #MOTBIOMNT and the UPC is 7 23755 66836 2. I double checked and theres definitely no charger cable included. The moto branded car dock VzW sells is specially packaged for Vz, whereas the packaging from the Amazon kit probably has no VzW logos on the box is my guess.

does the included audio cable plug into the phone or does the car charger have a 3.5mm jack on it?

audio cable
Unfortunately, the audio cable plugs into the phone, and not the dock.
BTW, it is male on both ends.

I got the Moto dock from Verizon and it did NOT come with a charger either. It just came with an audio cable, the suction cup mount, and the adhesive disc/alcohol wipe.
Couple things I want to mention for anyone thinking about buying the car dock:
1) The dock software that comes on the Bionic sucks, IMO. Half the time it won't speak directions to me. I Found a good work around for this is starting Google Maps navigation first, then docking my phone and it doesn't open up the crappy dock software that way. I imagine I can freeze the dock software with Titanium Backup and only use the dock for viewing and charging convenience.
2) I got the glossy silicone case from VZW and it fits inside the dock (not very well, but it does). However, I have found one issue and that is that every time I dock my phone it hits the power button due to the case being so large. Also, the power button on the dock itself doesn't work with this case.
3) I read on an Amazon review that the Holster style case (the one with the kickstand that VZW sells) + extended battery/cover will still fit in the Car Dock. I ordered these items late last week and will update this post when I know for sure this is the case...
4) Instead of buying a car charger, I got this TomTom cigarette lighter adapter from Best Buy (It was ~$27.99) since I already use my cars only working cigarette lighter for a satellite radio:
http://www.tomtom.com/en_us/product...-cables/high-speed-multi-charger-9UUC.001.04/
Then I bought a USB cable and a USB extension cable to go from my cars rear seat cigarette lighter to my car dock. Works great. Only issue I've had is the TomTom adapter creates a lot of noise on the power line going to my satellite radio. Going to get a Ferrite core from Radio Shack to put on my satellite radio's power line to see if that will fix my occasional noise/static issue.
5) The port on the back of the car dock is pretty shallow, so some thicker USB cables may not work. I've got USB cables that are the correct charging port, but they have very thick square "shoulders" around the base of the port and that caused a really stressed/weird angle when plugging in the USB cable to the back of the car dock. I ended up getting a different cable thinking I'd damage the charging port over time continuing to use the thicker USB cable.
Long post, but I feel like I had a lot of questions before buying the car dock and I hope I've answered them for prospective buyers.

Hi all,
First post! I just ordered my Xperia X1i from eBay. I did months and months of research and am sooooooo excited about my new phone. This is my first PDA phone (I do have a Dell X51v though). It will be replacing my X51v, external GPS, CD player in car, etc. etc.
I realize these are not dealbreakers at the prices they're asking for, but I just want to know if there's any quality/dangerous reasons not to buy these.
Basically, what I'm planning to buy is:
1) Xperia X1 miniusd wall charger (the X1i comes with foreign adapter I think)
2) Car charger
3) MAYBE a dock.
Case -- I am still up in the air about what the "best" overall case is. I can't seem to find one.
LINK #1:
http://tinyurl.com/ly4mfq
This is the one I'm thinking about getting for the wall-charger + car charger.
LINK #2:
http://tinyurl.com/lvow67
Or I might skip the wall charger and get just the car charger to use my Xperia as my music player in my car.
LINK #3:
http://tinyurl.com/mex9sg
Or I might actually get this for the wall charger + dock, but am unsure of the quality.
Any comments on the quality of either 3 posts OR recommendations for comparably priced objects you know of decent quality are appreciated!
The cradle looks interesting
Because the Xperia uses a mini usb port for charging you can use any generic usb charger, it doesn't have to be Xperia specific.
i.e I use my Kids iPod USB charger in the lounge room, the supplied SE usb wall charger in my bedroom, a USB car charger I already owned in the car and a few of my friends have Nokia Razr's and I use their Nokia mini USB chargers at their place, my laptop USB port at work etc.
I was also lucky that I had 1/2 dozen Usb to mini USB cable lying around when my Xperia arrived.
(When I 1st got the thing, I needed chargers in all those locations too )

Has anyone found a good car charger that they know works with the Focus? My dad's super-paranoid about my phone, and wants me to have a car charger. The problem, as many of you probably know, is that the Focus seems finnicky about what chargers it gets along with. Does anyone have one that they've tried that works?
I went with the Belkin Micro USB car adapter, works great, especially if you need to charge other USB devices.
This is the charger I used. It's made by Motorola but it works great with the Focus. Plus the LED light is a transparent window which looks awesome. It doesn't quite look like the photo. It's also discounted. I'll probably be ordering a couple more to keep in my other car.

IGO
I use the IGO car charger with the tip for my Samsung Focus. I also have the tip for my wifes Samsung Sync A707. I also had the tip for my FUZE when I was using that. It was nice, we could travel and just bring the additional tip and charge either phone. Works on my Focus very well.
I bought my Focus from Costco and they gave me a free no-name chinese car charger with the phone. I used it only once so far and my phone did not explode or anything, but I don't know if it was actually charging or not. The battery icon had the 'plug' graphic on it, but how can I tell if it was working properly?
I ended up getting a cheap charger off from eBay, it's kind of like the motorola listed that has the USB port. It also came with the USB cable and another house plug-in with the USB port. I travel a lot for the military so I like to have a spare cable and house charger.
i've used a Griffin which has a USB plugin...from my blackberry phone, HTC Tilt2 (winmo 6.5), HTC Aria (android), and will use it on my Focus. but with the battery, i haven't had a need for it yet lol. off the home charger with a full charge at 6:30am...drove to atlanta (well covered 3G area) to Athens (so so 3G) and all the back home down back roads through no name towns (spotty coverage). it's now 5:30 and i'm still showing half a battery gauge. that's with a few calls, plenty of texting, and a lot of web browsing.
damn i love this phone
I use one I got from Costco with my Backflip last year. I figured all micro USB would be fine.
Got a couple Rocketfish ones from Best Buy - work great
IMO, the Belkin is nice because it is low-profile. a very clean looking charging setup. Also can use whatever microusb I have handy rather than some dedicated cable.

Get the OEM charger here. I have had no issue with the MicroUSB connector, unlike my last car charger that just died. Can't beat the price either.
I bought three of these chargers...
I got three of these chargers off amazon. They are oem, but are official motorola and look really nice. They have a translucent window with the M on them that lights up when they are plugged in. They are a steal at less than five dollars. Go here-->http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Vehicle-Adapter-micro-USB-Charger/dp/B000S5Q9CA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1304549428&sr=8-1-spell.
That's what I got too, just through Amazon for prime 2 day.

jsut been playing with my play, and suddenly rememberd, the battery charging socket is on the side of the phone, not top or bottom, like the other phones, i have used so far, which i understand, because of its gaming feature, however, i think this will cause issues, with many car holders, whats your experience on this, cause all only have my car monday, and i cant help, but worry, about the possibility, of having to change this. Anyone seen a decently priced car holder?, in case, i might have to change mine.
You could use the official SE DK300 docking station, some ductape and a 12V car supply to usb adapter
DroidX's charge port is on the left side. I find that to be a great place considering the car dock is specific to the X. Maybe wait for a device specific dock?

Who here has purchased a Vehicle or Desk (or any other dock you found for your Atrix HD), and what are your opinions about that docks?
I own both the Vehicle and Desk docks and i don't like how the audio cable isn't built into the vehicle dock like it is in the desk dock. otherwise i like both of the docks.
a note on the vehicle dock: you need to find the right sized case to fit properly in the dock without the inside part. I bought the Incipio Feather Case, and it was too small and the phone looked like it had no support inside the car dock so i had to add the inside piece back in and remove the case from the phone every time i use my car.
My phone will not fit the desk dock without removing the case. But the desk dock doesn't do anything I care about; it didn't even come with the HDMI cable. It's nothing more than an oversized kickstand....but it was free
The car dock was also free. I like that the vehicle dock works better with my case because the plug part slides independant of the frame. I don't like that there's no option to keep it from auto launching vehicle mode. The reason they do not have it automatically plugging into your audio jack is because if you have bluetooth on your radio (and I do) it would look cheap to have a cable hanging all the time.

I am it came with a 3.5mm cable, but it doesnt have a built in plug for it. The charger cable can also be disconnected, and they had fine in older car docks as well as the desk dock
The RAZR/RAZR MAXX docks work as well. One of the users over at AtrixForums,com has successfully used the RAZR Desk Dock (89527N) with the Atrix HD. It's essentially the same as the one they are selling for the AHD, but it can be found for cheaper (not sure if the insert might be different). I am using the RAZR Dock Station (89526N) with the AHD. in addition to the HDMI and audio ports, it also has 3 USB ports and includes the HDMI cable. The USB ports function perfectly with the AHD.

I have a question for anyone who has the car dock for the AHD (whether you got it free from AT&T or Costco, or purchased it retail). Did it come with a charging/audio cable? I got mine in the mail today from the Costco rebate thing (mailed the rebate form 2 weeks ago today before Thanksgiving) and it had the dock assembly and the mounting arm/suction cup... No cables. I tried the charging/audio cable from my Atrix 4G car dock and it works perfectly (including audio), but I'm wondering if the cable was supposed to be included or perhaps its only included if you buy retail.

So, you essentially got just a charging cable which plugs into the dock and also an auxiliary cable which you plug from the headphone jack to your car?

How about yours? Does the USB cable carry both power and audio like the 4G one did?
My 4G cable works fine with this dock, even though the Atrix HD is not listed as compatible on that other cable. If Motorola is just including plain cables, perhaps Costco is counting the bonus charger and cables they gave me as the cables I'm supposed to use with the dock. Costco didn't include an aux cable, though.

Well, I kept the 4G cable. Definitely don't wanna be plugging in an audio cable. Can also confirm the 4G cable works fine. It's actually funny, if I also plug the headphone the sound stops coming from the dock and comes from the headphone output.

I want a case that has a stand, wirelessly charges the phone but still leaves the usb port open (or has a secondary), and that all you have to do to put it in your car is snap the case into a holder I know it's a bit much to ask but I can't believe no-one would have thought of it before

I'm planning to build pretty much this, if that's any help. I have the Samsung stand, and just plug the cable in at the moment. I'm planning to mod it with the touchstone stuff and install the charger just below the surface that the phone sits on in the dock, and just plug into that instead. I also want to activate car mode, so I'm planning on using NFC for that but I don't know too much about what can be done with it.

Using this dock:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Gal...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1352668918&sr=1-1
Fits the Note 2 perfectly as well
I would be very interested to see your setup. I've been looking for a proper Note II dock that supports aux-out through microUSB but haven't really seen any promising products. So I've got it in my head that I could mod a Samsung Universal mount for wireless charging and Bluetooth connectivity. First mod the phone for wireless charging and add an inductive plate on the dock. As far as audio transfer goes I have a Sony Ericsson MW600 Bluetooth Adapter that I was thinking I could use. Last throw on a NFC tag to put the phone in car mode and turn on BT.
Thoughts, ideas?
you know that the note II supports charging/MHL/USB OTG now all at the same time?

You forgot the USB Audio output. Get all that with USB (x3) & Docked profile on this smart dock: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EDD-S20JWEGSTA
If I had this compatibility on a Car Dock with a pivot mount that fits our SGN2, that would be awesome (sans MHL, not needed in a car but maybe the RV?).
I would pay quite a bit for that. :good:
My idea was a no-go. You will not be able to add wireless charging to that dock as it stands. I'm currently looking for a more suitable dock to modify, but I might see if I can modify the Samsung one once my touchstone arrives and I can see what parts I need to include in it. I don't think it's going to happen though - there's just too much mechanics in the way to operate the arms.
