So I was lucky enough to borrow one of these from Samsung over the last few days, made a video. If you have questions I don't answer in the video ask quickly, as I have to return the dock to them very soon.
Is there a cheaper device that does the same?

This is the only device that can do simultaneous USB OTG and HDMI output, so if that is what you are after specifically, then no, there isn't a cheaper option.
Have you found any programs that restrict playback via HDMI? Like NetFlix or HBOGo?
What power output does it charge at?
I have the S3 desktop dock and even if I pug the 2A Note 2 charger and cable in, it charges real slow.
On the bottom of the unit it says it is only rated at 1A.

5V/2A, but even so charging is very slow. Just found out there are some Root-required apps that can turn the phone screen off but keep it running, so will try that with the dock shortly, should help out the charging situation a lot.
Just tested the Root-required app Screen Standby - successfully lets you turn off the phone screen but keep using it on the external monitor
Lucky guy NZ! is there any way you can test your version with an S3 attached to it? I have both phones and am very curious to see the compatibility despite some of the mixed reviews online...
...on another note, I'm not sure you can cleanly open the unit and snap some detailed photos of the boards or measure resistances put on the micro-usb line but if you can...
thanks for the review!!

Thank you very much for sharing!
Couple of quick, stupid questions...
Did you try just laying the fock on the side to get landscape? and
I'd just like to re-ask the question above re: Netflix and the like.
Thanks again, I had been salivating about the dock.... of course my phone doesn't get here til tomorrow! haahaha

I haven't tried Netflix, will try it via Tunnelbear and see how it goes. Nothing has failed to work yet.
I presume you could lie the dock on its side and it would rotate to landscape, providing your launcher supported that orientation. Balancing it would be very tricky though, I think the phone would tend to slide of the USB connection.
Lying it sideways maybe with a stoopid rubber band might be an option for me rather than a rotation app. Just an option, I guess!
Thanks again!

The reason I asked about NetFlix and HBO-Go was my old Galaxy Tab HDMI dock you couldn't watch HBO to Go via HDMI as the program blocked it. I can't recall if NetFlix did or not but I don't think it did.
Also with the old Galaxy Tab dock you could lay it sideways and it held the tab in the dock in landscape and acted as a kickstand. But the Tab had a tighter more secure looking fit than what this dock offers.

Could you do use otg cable to powered hub with (link below) plugged into the hub and mhl adapter to it to do what the smart dock does on the cheap? I know it would be a mess of wires but 100 is alot of money.

I have been searching for both a vehicle mount as well as a desktop dock for my Nexus S since I got it in December. While there have been a few 3rd party solutions trickling into existence, it's nice to see some official Samsung love! I can't post links yet, but check it out on their website: samsung.com by searching for ECS-V1A3BEGSTA or BECS-V1A3BEG (both seem to be model numbers). There currently isn't a price and if you add it to your cart it says it's on back order (for $0). But at least we know it's coming! Hope to see an official desk dock soon as well.
Also, interesting, it says it has an integrated charger (which is one thing I really want in a car mount), but I fail to see any evidence of it in the pictures. I'm curious how it works. I would also really like to see an integrated audio output, preferably (if possible) through the same micro USB connection as the charging and then allow for the 3.5mm output to split from the mount. This is what I used to do with my original MT3G and it was great to only have to make one connection to the phone.

Interestingly the back plate of the dock appears to have a cutout for the camera and speaker, but they are in the wrong position (wrong side in each case) given how the phone sits in the dock. I am also curious how they are going to do integrated charging. Perhaps those images aren't a final product shot.

It took Samsung to officially release the Galaxy S docks about 3-4 months after its release in the U.S. So I'm assuming it's going to take just as long for this dock to come out.

Indeed, this would make more sense. I'm unsure how they would have integrated charging unless they somehow had a different back plate for the phone that would allow for conductive charging.
I'll still pick it up for $40 when it's available. It's a lot better than the the "universal" options out there. It is too bad the Nexus S doesn't have the contact/charging pins like the Nexus One did - that was a nice car dock to own (although a bit more pricey).

The vehicle navigation mount holds your Nexus S Handset securely while you travel.The Vehicle Power Charger is included in the package. The holder has a convenient easy snap-in and a thumb release to remove the phone from the holder.

Thanks! I just ordered the cheapest Bluetooth ODB2 plug on amazon. It would have been super easy but the odb2 plug on my car was downward facing so the giant wireless odb2 transmitter was hanging down and interfering with my legs. I unscrewed the odb2 plug and relocated it. I then plugged in an odb2 extension cable and routed it under the center console down to the parking brake area so I can see all the blinking lights, heh.
The Torque software was a breeze to link up to the bluetooth transmitter, and setting up the car information was easy too.
Used this adapter (or one that looks exactly like it heh)
Good job. Very clean looking.
Did the N7 unlock itself when you started it? How?
Right now, I'm just using 3 clips that holds mine over my stock unit but seeing more and more dash installs, I may be ordering me a spare bezel soon!

I purchased an app called "Tasker" that performs configurable "tasks" when events happen. I configured it so that when AC or USB power is connected to bring up the tablet, set timeout to 23 hours 59 minutes, turn on wifi, and some other things I want to happen. I also set it so that when power is disconnected, it sleeps after 7 seconds, turns off wifi and bluetooth, and some other things.
Next thing is to get some kind of anti-glare screen deal... i like it clean like this, but the glare is bad sometimes.

I didn't think I was going to need to root my 7 but my "Tasker" app isn't killing the apps I want killed when I turn off the car. You can use root to kill them but only if you have a rooted device, of course. So I'll probably take care of that tonight. Going to have to read up on how to do that.

I keep threatening myself with doing something similar but it's bugging me as to how to hold the Nexus in place. I have a 2003 Impreza and although it's double-DIN, it's just a gaping hole, nothing to mount it against.

Thats kinda how any of them are. I'll take some pics tonight and post them of how I mounted it. Basically I took the double din kit I bought and, using a dremil with a cut-off disk, sliced off all the stuff down to the basic bracket that holds the kit to the car's dash. I then cut off two pieces of paint stirring sticks (the free wooden ones you get from home depot) to go across the bracket and epoxy'ed them onto the bracket. I then drilled 4 holes the size of the magnets and epoxy'ed them in place. Then I epoxy'ed three strips of hobby metal strips with holes in them (you get them at Lowes where all the bins of nuts and bolts are) to the back of the nexus 7.
any plans for bluetooth handfree phone calls?
I recently got a Nexus 7 also and plan to do an in-dash install. After looking at a number of projects like this around the web there is one thing I cannot find a really good solution for: hands free Bluetooth for my phone.
Ideally I would like to use the tablet to make and receive calls via Bluetooth through my phone just like you can with many Bluetooth enabled in dash decks.
I have looked at a couple apps to aid in this like: Tablet Talk, and GrooveIP
While these could possibly provide the feature the remaining problem would be the microphone built in to the tablet.
Have you thought about this for your install? If not, does anyone else know of a setup that would provide an ideal hands-free Bluetooth experience for making and receiving calls?
This looks good..I'm hoping to do something like this once I buy a car..
So I am usually a lurker on XDA, but I thought I'd get the community's thoughts. I'm a fellow Nexus 7 owner and I want a dock that uses the pogo pins. I'm tired of waiting for ASUS and I also happen to be a mechanical engineer that works in the consumer electronics industry. So, I've mocked up my own design. It's similar to the ASUS design and will have USB charging and audio out. The only way I could bring it to market is Kickstarter.
Before I go through that much effort (Kickstarter has revised its approval process) I want to gauge demand. The sale price would be $30. I've made a poll below to streamline things, but feel free to add comments. Rendered concept below. I am also considering adding stereo RCA outputs as well. Would you want that?

|UPDATE 1|
Thanks everyone for the feedback! I'm still in the early design phase so feedback helps. To address the request for speakers: at this point it's not something I'm looking to add. It adds cost, development time and complexity. Depending on how well things go if I put it on Kickstarter, a speaker option may be considered. Also, now that I've seen there is some interest, I refined the design slightly to slim it up. See below:

I would love to, but the pogo pins do not support USB OTG (needed for keyboards, usb drives, etc.) That would require connecting to the micro-USB port. Also, as of now, charging while using OTG is almost non-functional. It may be possible with the Nexus 10 (6 pin pogo) but not the 7.

I just can't think of a good reliable material that doesn't require big machining tools to work with it.
So I recently bought the Samsung Multi-Media dock.
I've seen a few reviews and un-boxing's but can't seem to find any videos on people showing the full capabilities.
I also noticed, that when everything was plugged in, the dock wouldn't read any storage devices (pendrives and HDD). Would anyone know the problem? or what I have to do.
Thanks in advanced.
Also if anyone knows of good videos showing what it can do etc.. or record what it can do

Multimedia dock is just for charging and audio out.
Smart dock is for otg, hdmi out and charging.
swyped all these spelling errors from my galaxy note 2
Probably not enough power to run everything.
ive got the one with the 3 usb ports, 3.5 mm jack, hdmi port and the mini usb port .. isn't that the smart dock??
cos the box says multi-media haha

You can probably call up samsung and send them the serial number to make sure it's real or not.
If it's the real one, I keep reading all over the forums that the format of the hdd/pen drives might be the issue. If you do a search I'm sure you'll find them. This was usually when people were buying the 64GBs cards and had to reformat them to get them to work. I'm assuming it might be a similar issue.

Regarding the HDD and Pen drive I didn't try it yet but it will probably not be able to read the ntfs partitions but fat and exFat must work fine

So I recently bought the Samsung Multi-Media dock.
I've seen a few reviews and un-boxing's but can't seem to find any videos on people showing the full capabilities.
I also noticed, that when everything was plugged in, the dock wouldn't read any storage devices (pendrives and HDD). Would anyone know the problem? or what I have to do.
Thanks in advanced.
Also if anyone knows of good videos showing what it can do etc.. or record what it can do

pretty awesome what the Note2 can do with that dock (or just an HDMI Cable in the case of this video)
NZTechFreak ? did a video with that dock as well

I think, mine is the smart dock too, bought it for $90, I don't know if this is OEM or the orig one, but the chinese seller said it is the original one..
HDMI, mouse, keyboard are all working, I haven't been tried yet to plug an ext. hard disk..
I'm thinking now, if it is possible to force the hdmi output on landscape mode..

When you connect wired mouse it should automatically go into landscape mode on tv and turn off phone screen. Mine does

Tv reports 1080/30p. Using Maxthon browser in full screen mode and set for smallest letters is a pleasure using on bigger screen. Most (all?) applications are not optimized to utilize higher resolution output and simply mirror phone screen. Netflix app has a problem with smart dock. When video is played in full screen mode - hdmi is formated 4:3 instead 16:9. Other video apps output in correct ratio.

Can I use a regular HDMI To RCA Converter to use a ChromeCast with my old TV that has the "Yellow, Red, White" Connectors?
Thanks!

I've been trying this out for a few days. At first I had a couple issues with the chromecast rebooting every few minutes, but after doing a factory rest it seems fine now. I've got it hooked up to an old stereo system (and monitor) replacing an Airport Express I used to stream from my Ipod. Got to say I like the chromecast a lot better, doesn't have as many features but was much easier to set up and does what I want (Google Play Music and Youtube) perfectly.

what kind of converter are you using? The HDMI to RCA has to be powered right? (not just a passive adapter)
Yep
It should work well. I got an HDMI to composite converter off of Amazon and Chromecast works fine

can you paste a link to the converter you bought? thanks
I can't link yet (under 10 posts) but you can search amazon for:
ViewHD Universal HDMI to Composite / AV Video Converter, Support PAL / NTSC Standard TVs
Just make sure you have a 5V 1A usb charger for it to work properly. I used an apple wall usb charger.

I didn't see anything on Amazon for cheaper than $30 that got good reviews
How's the quality on those adapters?
Does it really need a Digital to analog converter?
I think it's time for a new TV.
I have one converter than I am willing to sell. I've bought it a month ago on Amazon : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0080KN18K/ref=oh_details_o09_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
because the stupid rental unit where I am currently on vacation still has an old TV. I've only used it for this short amount of time, because I needed to connect my Logitech Revue. I've also connected the Chromecast both through the Revue and directly to the converter. It's perfectly working , you can see some pictures here
