I purchased the official samsung car dock that fits the note II according to their website. It's nice, it does the job, I get an official car charger with it however I have to make sure to plug it in, which whatever. The problem is, I could have gotten a cheaper but just as functional dock for the half the price had I knows this official one from samsung does NOT activate the car dock mode, and to be honest, driving mode on the samsung is a joke. Looks like I will have to purchase NFC tags to get the job done.

well to be fare to expect a universal dock to activate any mode that's designed for all of the galaxy devices is a little unfair.

I would assume that carrier specifics do not matter since they are all the same size, but for some reason the carrier model number is part of the link.
EDIT: Apparently the store is not working properly yet.
another EDIT: Found a way to get around the issues. If you find something on that page that you want to order, simply take this address:
Code:
https://mobile.samsung.com/accessories/addtocart.do?productid=[COLOR="Red"]ENTER PRODUCT CODE HERE[/COLOR]&returnurl=http://www.samsung.com//us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories
and insert the product code of the item you want where I indicated with red text. So for instance for the stylus you would take the product code "ET-S100CBEGSTA" and insert it into the address like so:
Code:
https://mobile.samsung.com/accessories/addtocart.do?productid=[COLOR="red"]ET-S100CBEGSTA[/COLOR]&returnurl=http://www.samsung.com//us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories
You can continue adding products to your cart this way if you want more than one item. BUT, it looks like it might be putting everything on backorder, so be cautious.
Bump, for those that might not have seen the edits.
Also, winter2010 appears to be working as a 10% off coupon code as well.
Let me know if you try putting an order through. Didn't go all the way through myself because of the backorder message I recieved.

i wish that keyboard had a trackpad.
Car Kit - IN STOCK
I had registered a backorder on the Samsung site for the car mount kit...I just received email (and of course placed order) that the kit is IN STOCK
Not super stoked about the price, but if it includes the charging cable and mount I guess $70 isn't the worst.
Use coupon code of "winter2010" to save a few bucks.
Good Luck Shopping fellow Tabbies!!!
I just received the car mount that I ordered from Samsung. I will be posting pictures and a small review shortly! Very nice.

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

Hey guys,
Just letting you know, in case you were in the market, that the HDMI dock is $35 shipped from amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-ECR-D...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1297451030&sr=8-1
I picked one up, it works great! 40" of Angry Birds is awesome, lol.
The Samsung keyboard is also on sale from amazon for $65
a keyboard which allows for landscape connection should be available.......
hahahahaha adinis I totally agree with you I was just pointing it out
You will need an A to C hdmi cable too to connect the dock to your screen.
Anyone used this HDMI dock? I bought the regular dock for $20 and refund it right away. It was going to damage my tablet due to poor contact and also the sound jack reduced the volume by over 50% while killing completely the bass.
I hope this new model does not have the same issues.
Edit: I see someone else mentioned the bad design issue.
too bad with Gtab design will make any landscape dock impossible, it would be sweat..
also available on amazon.co.uk for £17.99
I just picked this dock up for $15 from amazon.com (US) love the way it sits on my desk now.. just gotta wait and see if the hdmi out via the dock will get fixed in CM7..
Took both the dock and the keyboard, one for home and the other for work. Now if only the Tab 7 had USB host, I would be done for onr year or more....

Just picked up a bargain in PC World (Currys) in Sheffield UK,looking through a bargain bin and came across a dock,asked how much and got told £1.97p so I rushed to the till before they changed their minds... Its cost me more (£3.99) to buy the HDMI cable !!! was told the reason was that they didnt do Galaxy Tabs anymore..
Mmmmmmmmm..... chair spinning as I run to PC World
Lol I picked my HDMI dock from Amazon brand new for $16.... you weren't looking hard enough they still have them around 16 to 20 US....
I just bought this one. 15 bucks ain't bad.
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-HDMI-Multi-Media-Desktop/dp/B004DB7ZZK
Pretty nice. Only gripe I have is that you have to use the usb cable to connect the dock to your compy. I figured it would have came with an extra cable or something, or rather.... I was hoping it would haha
Hey thanks for this!! Really useful!
I have 2 Sprint SPH-100's that I bought used off XDA Marketplace. I can't seem to find any concrete evidence that they would work with HDMI using the supplied Samsung adapter.
Will the SPH-100 work with HDMI out?
One of the tablets is for my son and I thought it would be really slick to get him some emulators and Wiimote setup on this to connect to his TV in his room.
Actually I just found this:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-ECC1TP0BBEGSTA-Galaxy-Tab-Cable/dp/B004DFADZK/ref=pd_sim_e_2
It is Samsung-Composite cable (he has an older tube TV) and I bet it is lacking an HDMI port. Wonder if this would work because this would be perfect... might be worth taking the chance.
[UPDATE]
HDMI Dock $12 Amazon
[UPDATE 2]
After doing some research it appears the P100 supports both HDMI out and Composite. After reading some reviews I decided to purchase these P1000 composite cables per other Tab owners because it is compatible with the P100 and also offers USB charging at the same time. If this successfully works it'll be great!
On the other hand, I see that the Tab has issues with the WiiMotes but shouldn't have any problem with my SixAxis Controller. The PS3 controller will also offer greater amount of gameplay... so it works out in the end.
Composite (Red, White, Yellow) + USB Charging Amazon
Why I don't want this kind of thing is I don't know whether the screen is or isn't being zipped.
I suspect the quality is not actually full HD
Will the Tab 2 7.0 fit in this thing?
this thread is over a year old lol
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?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 2
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 used to have Note 1 and original Samsung car mount for it. Now i use that same car mount for my Note 2. It's not ideal fit, but it works good enough. Can be used in both, portrait and landscape mode.

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.
Just browsing the classifieds and I stumbled across this. He is asking $85 per unit, which includes the charging pad. Rip off? Apparently its Qi Charging standard as well. Passed a few emails back and forth and he seems legit. Just wanted to ask here before I spend the money. Pictures attached as well.
Here's his add:
Why trust your expensive phone with those hack-job kits sold on eBay using outdated Palm technology, this kit is 100% compatible with the Samsung Galaxy S3 and does not require any additional software or setup.
The charging pad will charge the phone up to 100% and maintain the charge until you remove the phone.
The Qi standard has been chosen as the official standard going forward as seen in the Nexus 4 phone.
All Samsung Galaxy S3 phones come with the dedicated wireless charging connector from the factory as shown in the photos.
The only piece left is this charging kit.
< How does it install? Easy! >
Simply remove the battery cover off the phone, line up the receiver tag with the phone's charging connector and stick it on. Snap the battery cover on. It's that easy!
All you have left now is to plug the DC adapter into the charging pad and use any 120v wall outlet.
You will see a green light turn on, indicating the charging pad is on.
For those who purchase these kits, I can install the tag and demonstrate how the charging works.
Cases do not interefere with this unless they are made of metal in which case no wireless charging kit let alone NFC will work.
This kit does not interefere with NFC (Near field communication)
< How does it charge? >
Simply place your phone on the charging pad, an audible beep will sound and a flashing blue light indicating wireless charging has started.
Your phone will then display a message "You have placed the device within range. Now charging wirelessly..."
Package Includes:
1x Samsung Galaxy S3 sticker tag (Receiver)
1x Wireless Charging Pad (Transmitter)
1x US Socket DC Adapter for charging pad
I also have the Note 2 Charging Kit if anyone is interested

OP, you say "not eBay" but the receiver has "made in China" on it. So it's no different than any of the one's on eBay except you're buying it via e-mail directly from someone who imported it.
Here's the one that people said they had issues with (off of eBay). To me, it looks cheaply made; especially the receiver.
Here's one that just became available that's disussed in the thread linked below. It's $60 shipped from HK. It looks more substantial and is made by "Metrans" which is considered high-end locally in China. A couple of us ordered them. Mine's shipped and should be here early next week and I'll post pics and a review.

Definitely confirm its not the one pictured on top. I have 2 of those. The first quit working after the a few days and the second (which ordered before the first one broke) is already having troubles.
