Best car kit

What do you guys think is the best car kit for the HD2.
Looking for the best quality one with a charger and the option to rotate the hd2 to be vertical or horizontal which keeps sucked to whatever I suck it too.

Might want to search. there are quite a few threads about car kits or car holders.
personally i use a brodit which has a nice fit.
best i dont know but happy with mine

After searching for hours I came across a device called the dash genie which I think is brilliant! I currently use it in my ford fiesta and it sticks to the dash no matter what the surface and it looks nice with my HD2
If you have a modern ford fiesta you will know that the dash is spongy, but this cradle sticks with no problem. You can easily remove the cradle when your not using it and no marks are left.
You can also use other devices such as ipods so your not restricted...a one for all solution I personally recommend.

im intreagued as to how the dash genie works, there doesnt seem much to hold the device in place if you hit a bump or something.

just watchd a video of it, looks good might have to get one myself

has anyone tried this one?

I was the same before I purchased the dash genie, but trust me It holds the phone in place. I have to drive down a dirt track road every morning from my house and the road is full of pot holes. The poor car is boucing allover but the phone stays nice and snug
If you look at the dash genie you will see a red circle which is a sticky material, once the phone is placed on this it sticks like glue but does not leave any residue behind.

That looks pretty smart, depends where your cigarette lighter/power outlet is in the car though - Wouldn't be good for mine as this is located next to the gear stick on the central console.
What I'm using is the Dash Genie then a small device that plugs into the cigarette/power outlet which changes it into a usb power socket where I just plug the power cable in which you get with the phone.
I also have a 3.5mm jack cable that plugs into the aux socket on my head unit so calls, copilot and music come through the car speakers.

Dash Genie Link
I can finally post links...
Here is the link where you can buy the Dash Genie for £14.99

When using the dash genie is the earphone jack covered at the bottom of the device?

Not with the HD2 as the jack is at the top of the device. Not sure about other phones...

The earphone jack is on the BOTTOM of an HD2.

If you're looking for a solidly built holder that is well worth the additional money, then i'd suggest getting a Brodit version - Kit comes in 2 parts, a mount adapter specific to your car, and a holder for the phone... Adapter allows you to rotate the device for Landscape/Portrait usage, and allows access to the Headphone socket
The Brodit HD2 Active Adapter with a Cigarette adapter is a shade over £30... But as I said, well worth the money.

The HTC CU S400 car kit is AWESOME. Very high build quality and looks great. Not as good as the earlier prototype though but... The only downside is price, but then your HD2 is not exactly cheap either

Sorry I stand to be corrected....I meant the HTC HD/Blackstone

The best car kit I tested so far is the standard Ford Focus Sony System bluetooth.
I simply connected it to the car and boom! Works perfectly.
Moreover I can charge the phone via USB while listening to the music I got in the storage card.
Simply perfect!

I'm considering getting this one and using the cradle part to replace the factory fitted Nokia cradle in the arm-rest of my Audi:

I bought this one: Tetrax Xway Universal Neodymium Car Holder
Using it with two devices, it's great! Only a magnet that holds the device firmly.
Here's a link to their website: http://www.tetrax.us/
I have a silicon case, made a small hole in it, glued the small metal knob on my device.
The HD2 still lays flat on the table with the knob and is firmly attached in my car without turning/spinning around (That is why I took the holder with the large X)

Just ordered one myself of Ebay worldwide. It seems to be the best system I have seen so far. Here is a YouTube video of one in use http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkLbABhSWvw&feature=related

Nice video!
The only negative of this product is the small part which holds onto the fan blade. When it gets warm or cold it gets softer/harder so it won't hold as tight as usual. This means that pulling the device off means you're pulling the blade off too.
So, it would be best when the clip is somewhat larger.

LEGO car dock

Hey guys, thought I'd share my LEGO car dock with everyone.
First about the phone:
HTC Droid Incredible running
2.15 Radio
CM6 9/17 Nightly
With a shell/holster case combo
Then the vehicle:
2002 Honda Civic EX 2 door coupe
Pioneer stereo system with AUX/Bluetooth/CD/iPod/XM Radio support
The LEGO set:
Jedi Starfighter
And without further delay, the pictures:
(Sorry about the glare, didn't realize the sunroof was cover was open until halfway through)
Yeah, the R2D2 legs acting as the front bumper to the phone isn't the prettiest of options, but I felt that between making the dock as small and as unobtrusive as possible, aesthetics, and functionality... this option filled the first and last options the best out of any other combination of parts.
Now for the ultimate in awesomeness, I decided to try out putting a movie on the Dinc then streaming the audio through the bluetooth. There are some issues with the audio being weird. I don't think its the blueooth itself, I think its the fact that the 1 hour episode I put on there is almost 1.5GB and ridiculously hi-def. I'll try out another movie this weekend. Heres some pictures featuring an episode of Spartacus: Blood and Sand.
So far, "structural integrity tests" have proven that this baby can take an amazing amount of shock. Took a two hour drive with my girlfriend and a friend and drove around the rural parts of my area. There was a few bumpy dirt roads and the whole time this thing kept together and more importantly kept the phone steady.
I used to have this awesome desktop dock for it too, but I tore it down the other week. Maybe I'll rebuild if I get tired of this one o.o

Best.....Dock......Ever.....Thanks for sharing. Made me LOL Hopefully wikitude drive goes live soon, then I'll need a dock that let's the camera see the road, and this gives me ideas.
Edit: Your stereo does not have audio in?

It does, but I never found a use for it. Plus i'd have to drill a hole and run the AUX cable to the back. So far the iPod cable that runs into the glove compartment and the bluetooth as worked alright ^.^

Awesome. Any instructions for setup?

Yeah sure if theres enough demand i'll take it apart and put it together again on camera.

Dude! I like that! Post some instructions!!

Nexus 7 Car Dock

I'm looking to use my Nexus 7 in my car for GPS, music, etc. I'd use bluetooth for audio and I ran a long USB cable from my center console's USB port. I just need a reasonably priced dock that mounts in the CD slot that I can stick my N7 in. If it helps I have a 2013 Honda Civic Si.

Anyone?

I've seen several posts where people have permanently mounted theirs in their cars..usually with a lot of customized mounts.

Yeah so have I and none of them said how they did it or where they got them from. I really only need something to go in the CD slot. It's usually just a little piece of plastic that fits in just far enough. Just looking for a recommendation of what people have used or know is good.

Anyone??

Brodit, definitely!
VW Polo 5 (6R), 2012, Brodit Proclip and Nexus 7 Passive Mount (all together ~40€).
Can share the parts later with you.
Check the picture.

Is this any good?
http://www.amazon.com/ExoMount-Tabl...id=1384464713&sr=8-2&keywords=cd+slot+nexus+7

I want to do the exact same thing.
I have a car charger with two usb outs, a nexus 7, and an HD2 (yes, i still have it, use it, and its awesome!)
I connect both of them to the charger with usb, connect HD2 to my car audio system and my nexus 7 (BT).
My musics (and my calls!!) are on my hd2, so they play on car audio system.
my navigation apps are on my tablet.
and also i use tablet talk to connect my phone and tablet to each other, and have my sms and calls on nexus.
i used a few mounts but... im really looking forward to use ExoMount Tablet S...
(the only problem is that i cant watch videos or listen to musics on my tablet... trying to fix that with using AUX cable from tab to car audio system)

I kind of have a temp solution. I can actually lean the thing against the screen that has the backup camera, radio station, etc in the dashboard and there's a little lip that holds it in just the right position so it can't slide or tip over.

The problem with the whole "stick it in the CD slot" idea is that the mount then obscures your stereo controls.

What do you recommend then?

I got this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0072LATRY/ref=oh_details_o09_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and it works nicely.
In my Mustang, it attaches to the dash and hangs down between the AC vents. Different cars of course have different layouts, but it is very configurable.

For years I would buy a new mount every time I got a new device. Finally I just decided to switch over to the Ram Mount system. They have thousands of different mounts and holders, and make it easy to swap stuff around and find something that works for my new device. They are more expensive than the cheap stuff you get off Ebay, but they last. I have the ball mounts in my car, van, trucks, etc. and they are great.

USB cable coming from the USB port in the console.

Just make a custom mount to your likings if you are having this much trouble finding a solution.
Buy the dock and a cheap snap in case for the N7.
Use carbon fiber to mold your custom mount.
Snap N7 into new mount made out of dock and cheap case.
thats a simple run down but just to give you an idea. benefit of this is you make it the way youd like to suit your needs at the location of your choice in your car.

Civic si, goly that car is rubbishy cheap toy. That car have tons of third market addons for any hardwares to portable addons.
The way you replies, sounds as if you are in mid 20s with a civic si. You should know the Asian civic group in downtown Maryland and the nearby China Town for advices and cheap hook up deals!
I seen civic mods each headrest with nexus 7 mounts for gaming and movies.

Try a Mobio magnet http://www.hellomobio.com its strong and allows you to remove the tablet easily.

They don't look to support the new *fast* Qi charging, don't they?
Is there actually already a car dock supporting it?

I use the older version of the Iottie one. It is able to add a % about every 10 minutes while using Waze at full brightness.

I am working on a new smartphone holder which will be ready by next month. This smartphone holder can hold the Note 5 with a Mophie battery case for the Note 5 along with hold an iPad as well. This smartphone holder will not shake while you drive nor rattle (unlike others on the market). The length of it also allows you to have it at your finger tips within finger reaching distance of your steering wheel so that both hands are always on the steering wheel at all times. Brings smartphone closer up as well so you can hear others and others can hear you as well. Much better then the plastic iOttie ones that iOttie makes. You can place it to the left side of your front windshield so it sits to the left of your steering wheel with a battery case hooked up to it so your battery remains charged at all times.

I bought a Koomus CD player car mount. It fits in the cd loader, and still plays whatever CD you have inside. I also bought the Air vent version, but the note 5 is just to big for it to be used, I've been able to test them on a brand new 2015 Toyota corolla and a 2004 Toyota corolla. It's not the best solution, but it works for me. No longer have to look down at phone while driving. I drive manual transmission and this was a huge help. I can watch twitch, football games on espn, nfl mobile, youtube etc

I had purchased a $25 + sales tax car mount universal holder that fit into the drinkholder in my car... however after a few weeks my phone started falling out of the dang thing and ended up on the floor under my feet.... & when driving obviously it's not a great idea to attempt to retrieve it.

yeah I will get you some later this evening, I`m at work right now, I put this in 2012 F150 Platinum, my platinum didn't have the factory touch screen, instead mine has the 6 disc changer in the dash from the factory. I had newer Kenwood with the garmin navigation and android auto, but I just didn`t like how waze looked on the 7" screen and etc. so I use the tablet for waze and SiruisXM app and torque app for information for boost pressure and etc. really like it, I just hotspot my phone too it and I`m off and running, I post pics later.:good:

here is the pics, I need to paint the silver screws .

Wow- that's BIG! Looks nice, but I think it covers too many controls for my taste.

yeah I don`t use any of the controls on the radio, I can switch media source and volume from my steering wheel and that's all I need. yeah it's nice to have waze and my other apps on the big 10.5"
screen.:good::good:
