check out my review. just in case you were in the market for one. i highly recommend it
Samsung announced a few accessories when they launched their Galaxy Tab. I finally had the chance to pick up the Vehicle Mount (aka Car Dock) and take it for a spin. Check out my unboxing and initial impressions of this car dock.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gl2Ktb9Skac&feature=player_embedded
Summary:
When I bought the official HTC car dock for my Nexus One I thought to myself, “this is how a car dock should be!”. When I sold it, and started using the Galaxy Tab as my primary device, I new I had to find a car dock with the same precision and quality that the dock for my Nexus One had. I was quite surprised at the exceptional build quality of this car dock. The dock contours to meet the curvature of the Galaxy Tab and it just fits perfectly. The 3.5 mm headphone jack as well as the mic, volume rockers and power buttons are all accessible when docked. The bottom of the dock has the proprietary 30 pin connector that, not only helps secure the device but, allow you to charge it too. Being able to charge the device with the included car charger is a true bonus; one less thing you have to pay for. Once docked, the Tab will automatically go into car mode (not working in the video) and gives you access to quick functions like making a call or doing a quick search. This car dock retails for $69.99 but you can find it as cheap as $45.99 from mobilecityonline.com and its worth every penny. I must say, Samsung really came through with this product and I am excited to try out the rest of the accessories for the Galaxy Tab. Okay enough reading, GO BUY IT NOW! You won’t regret it.
Nice review, thanks! Going to order one ASAP.
I ordered one from the Amazon Marketplace for about 56 w/shipping. Some guy has them listed at full retail on eBay with or best offer. So I typed in a note and a link saying I'd do it for that same price if he could match, only response with no note back was a counter offer for $67... LOL. I guess it's not worth doing business with someone who doesn't even bother to notice what you wrote to them.
I just wish that it was possible to make these in a way that would allow a proper case to be used with the Tab. I have what I think is a very protective case, but because of it, this would not work for me.
Hey, is there enough room with the connector part slid back to insert another connector?
Reason I ask is that this thing would make a nice desktop dock when it wasn't in the car if you could still use the standard USB to 20 pin connector.
I guess you could use that USB to coax cable with the regular AC charger indoors to keep it powered up, but it would be nice to have USB connectivity as well (file transfers, flashing, etc).
Croak: Will have to check but by memory there is not enough room. I will try too look at it when I get back home tognight, the dock is in gf's car.
Really like this car dock by the way !
After looking at it there is def no place to put another connector there

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

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 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 -

with a charger and this -

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.

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.
I had the note 1 and the samsung car dock with usb injector was perfect, the note slided into place and conected to the usb injector perfectly.
Its good when you use the car a lot for short trips and you need an easy car dock charger.
all other car holders are useless as i need the charging feature without having to connect the usb cable every time...
I cant find the new samsung card dock for the galaxy note 2 anywhere or any dates when it is coming out!
....Any ideas?
No idea, but I hope soon. I want this phone, but without a car dock it's going to be hard for me
Yeah! ive been waiting too. I guess you are not the only one. But will it charge slower for our galaxy note 2? cuz its using 2A charger? can the ciggrate lighter support 2A?

My in-car charger is 3A but it's wired in to the fuse box. Check your fuse box for the cigarette lighter to see what it will take before blowing, I imagine at least 5A.
Any update on this?
This is the single thing preventing me from getting this device.
They have sold over 3 million Note II's and they still don't have an official car dock?
I use my phone way too much in my car to settle for junk. I want landscape mode capable dock with USB injector and a good charger as we all know we should get from Samsung. If we get an official dock I'm getting a Note II ASAP.
PS: does this phone support Apt-x bluetooth audio?
I spent some coin on the HTC bluetooth adapter and it works fantastic with my EVO 4G LTE's bluetooth 4.0 with Apt-x... if it would work with this phone I'd do a jig.

Standard bluetooth stereo audio is usually terrible compared to plugging directly into the headphone jack. Apt-X (only with compatible devices, example: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Stereo-Clip-On-Bluetooth-Headset/dp/B0057WWK5E ) gives much better quality sound.
Car mode removed on Galaxy Note 2
All, we at iBOLT (manufacturer of car-docks) have been checking into the Jellbean Kernel and for some reason Samsung does not support car-mode or aux-out through the microUSB and car-mode at this time. If you want these features, please contact Samsung so we can put some pressure to have these features reinstated. Technically it would be very simple to do so for Samsung.

Hay Mikael thanks for taking such a close interest in our crasy community's feedback. I would count on a mod being available soon for us to use if we have a car dock with intergrated usb aux out. Although if Samsung wont enable this you cant advertise it but its a safe bet one of us is going to get a weekend itch and scratch out a mod.

At least one person has reported the Note II working with the same cable provided with the S3 iBolt car dock. Perhaps some kernels from different carriers still have support built in? Post in question seems to be referring to the T-Mobile version.

I am not seeing this result, but I have the Sprint version of the Note 2. Sounds like there are some different kernels floating around with different features. I have been able to "force" car mode by getting creative (and a little stupid) and restoring the "Dock Mode" app from my HTC Evo 3D (thank you Titanium Backup) and running that app's "Car Mode" activity as a short cut, but the only way to get it out of car mode at that point is to reboot
I'm hoping for a little bit cleaner method of doing this in the near future.
Has anyone tried this accessory with the GN2? Looks pretty useful, just want to make sure it works without rooting.

I have one. No need to root as stock OTG support is fine, but will not read NTFS.
There are a couple issues I have with it used with Note2:
- it will not act as a dock... it will not charge your phone while it powers memory or USB devices.
- it cannot be used with a case, unless you also buy an extension cable... M/F micro USB
- mine feels a little weak, like it might break off in the micro USB port & is intermittent if moved.
It's easier & cheaper to use a OTG cable unless you need to power USB devices... then you could add a hub. If you use a smart dock, you get charging, 3x USB, audio, HDMI.
For the cost, it would have been nice to have it charge as stated for S2.

Bought it for use with my Galaxy Note and now use it for my Galaxy Note 2.
Works great (yeah, not with a case on unless you have an extension cable), have used it with SD cards, Keyboard, mouse (yup, puts a mouse pointer on your screen!), external hard drive (but you have to plug in power (usb or wall charger) for that), I have even plugged in my Creative USB headphones and they work great! Awesome device.
If I was to make it, I would put a little sturdier plug on it (see other post for "flimsy feel") and make it so it had a VERY short plug (like a 1/4 inch longer) so it could be used without popping the bottom out of my TPU case).
If someone has a link to a SHORT m-f micro usb extender, SHARE please !!

Did anyone tried the version with the hdmi?If it works,it could be a good alternative to official smart dock (100$)
It seems that it doesn't charge the note, as per the reviews, when the usb host is used.
I want something that charges it, to use it in the car, sending video to my headrest screens FROM a USB thumb drive. So I'd need USB+HDMI out, plus charging. That would be great to have. But only playing videos from USB drive WHILE CHARGING it would be enough for me. Although there are dongles for the Note 2 that would allow HDMI+Charging, there is nothing AT ALL in the market that would allow USB HOST+Charging capabities. Not an Android phone, not a tablet (other than Toshiba/Acer with USB ports on the side).

I think MHL will not work because the 11 pin vs 5 pin connector we have like the Galaxy S3
Found this comment on amazon:
This thing is magic! All of these different ports in one simple accessory is brilliant! They don't claim that MHL on this unit works with the Samsung Galaxy S3 and sure enough MHL does not. Everything else does though. Having all of these ports on one small accessory makes the most of any compatible smart phone.

Not really, you can charge the case/phone wirelessly which should only take ~3.5 hours for the case at the slower wireless charging rate. If both are completely depleted then it would take ~7-8 hours to fully charge them via regular wireless charging. it really depends on what the case supports in that sense. It would be nice if it had >10W wireless charging as a capability, then I might consider it since my batter life is complete sh*t.
For the price it's this or the Samsung one. Any ideas which will be better ?

But much cheaper
Guess, the 3rd one since seller is accepting returns and cheaper like you brought up. Would make my easier if I decided it's not working for me.

Don't know about your model but, I have the Canadian Exynos version and the is the wireless adapter built-in the phone. All you have to buy is the fast wireless charger. No need for any aftermarket adapter or case.

You are completely missing any point here
This is an extra battery inside a case, that uses the wireless charging mechanism inside the phone (instead of USB port) to charge your phone when you are away from AC power.
This is pretty cool, but lacking in the style department.
this one too

Actually my understanding is that is does connect to the phone via the micro USB port. The case itself has a Qi receiver built into it so you can put the case case on a Qi charger and it will charge the phone that way. The case does not charge the phone via Qi.

Nope. Look here for an example:

There is no link to the USB port. And the Mophie version is using the same principle. Of course, it can also be used as a wireless charging pad.

Nope!
I am not talking about the Samsung one! Just look at the bottom of the Mophie case, it would not be that big if it charged the phone via Qi, not to mention that all the other Mophie cases connect via USB or Lightning even on phones that have Qi built it.
The Mophie case does NOT use the same principal, it connects to the phone via micro USB ONLY.
Samsung case = The case is charged via USB only, it charges the phone via Qi only.
Mophie = The case is charged via USB or Qi, it charges the phone via USB only.
I've been rockin' the Mophie case a few days now. Looks sleek, feels sleek, not sure I really NEED it! LOL Buttons work great. Amplifies the sound coming out of the speaker grill. :good:The case takes a while to charge. I use the Samsung Wireless Fast Charger.
Seriously though. Samsung hit a home run with the S7 Edge.

Niceee! Could have gotten one for myself only if they're offering colors other than black...
