Since it seems there aren't any docks with audio out, and Samsung is going with the universal dock as the official one, does anyone know of a breakout cable for MicroUSB to allow for both charging and audio from one input, if this is even possible? I would like to only have to plug/unplug one cable when I dock my phone in the car.
If this doesn't exist, if anyone has a pinout so I could make my own it would be appreciated
This phone fits well in the Samsung s3 dock
, even with a seidio surface case. I use one.

Are you talking about this dock?
Just realized that it may not be clear in my original post, but I'm talking about the car docks.
The only one I've seen is the one that comes with the iBolt car mount...

I saw that as well but would prefer not to wait for it to ship, I think I am just going to make my own cable according to the instructions here and hope it works with the Note II.
It's amazing nobody has thought to fabricate a cable like this...
It's readily available on ebay, refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36406791

Great thank you! just one more question, is it worth getting the 20 dollar iBolt cable? or will a 5 dollar generic one on ebay suffice. I looked up the reviews for the iBolt on amazon and they do not sound to satisfied with the iBolt cable.
Thanks again in advance!!

Nice. I may bite on this:good:
I went ahead and ordered this since I really need a good car mount. I will report back once it arrives in 1-3 weeks.
GENUINE SAMSUNG C&T (=PLEOMAX) UNIVERSAL CAR HOLDER
So.. it's just a universal mount made by Pleomax, who also supposedly makes Samsung official accessories? Kind of shady.
I'll wait for a real dock with a charger and preferably audio out over usb.
Nice find, ill get one myself too. Hopefully itll fit with my case

Looks legit enough for me.
this is just a tease without the USB Injector
If it had that I'd bite. $19.99 is a good price if you don't need that however.
Nice, added to my watch list...
Pity that there is not a proper car dock yet. Had to buy a new car mount aswell. I just bought some pretty generic and cheap holder from Ebay to hold the phone in place while waiting for some cheap docking solution.

I understand Pleomax makes accessories for Samsung, but this is definitely a Universal car dock, probably this one: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ECS-K200BEGSTA
Advertising it as a Genuine Samsung Note 2 car dock is misleading.
Does the phone detect the dock and enable car mode?

I highly doubt it since there is no micro USB integrated into it. It's just a piece of plastic so your phone doesn't know it's in it.
Just put an NFC tag on the dock. When you insert it, it will do whatever you programmed it to do.
That dock looks like any ordinary eBay generic piece of plastic, BTW. Nothing special about it, IMO. I have a generic squeeze handle one and it works great with any case. The one in the OP looks to only work naked. Not worth the hassle, IMO.

Thanks for the reply. I was wondering since some phone and dock doesn't need to be connected to switch, which confused me on how does the docking work. Anyway I have some NFC tags but so far the is no good app to automatically enable the driving mode without starting S Voice. I tried tasker and I can configure it to switch to the car mode (the icon appeats) but it doesn't enable driving mode (the one which enable the phone to read out events).

Has anyone tried this with the Otterbox Defender? Does it fit?
Max open Cradle
Please tell me what is the actual max open?
Is it really 85 mm? Note 2 + case ...
Can you put it with slim plastic cover like Mercury?
Thank you for answer!

Will it fit with Slim back Case?
Anyone have bought and use it?

a silly question, galaxy note 2 is the same with note 8000?
Hi,
I am interested in the smart dock for displaying my note 2 on the HDTV and also connecting USB devices. I have an otterbox defender case and am pretty confident that there is no way the handset will fit in the dock. LOL
I am wondering if it is possible to get a cable, with all pins connected, to connect between the note 2 and the smart dock to give the connectivity of the dock, without actually putting the handset into the dock? Essentially connecting a cable from the port on the note 2 to the plug on the smart dock.
If anyone has tried this, perhaps they could share their thoughts.
Thanks
Duncan

That will not work, as it requires the new 11 pin as designed by Samsung.
I am looking for the exact same thing if anyone has found something.
I'm in the market for an 11 pin micro usb extension cable too. Seems like such a simple thing, but it'd be easier to get bigfoot's autograph than to find one. I bet there are people who'd make it if they knew there was a market. I just wish I knew who they were.
you could use an allshare cast dongle as an alternative.
you connect to your TV over WiFi, and then use a regular otg cable for USB.
I am interested in this too.
I have the Zero Lemon battery and I'm pretty sure it can't fit in my smart dock.
I had the UAG case on before I put in the Zero Lemon and that one didn't fit either so I would just remove the case. But now the case is what is actually holding the battery in so I don't think it'd be wise to remove it for the dock and risk the battery moving around or disconnecting...
If someone comes up with this they will sell a bunch of them!
Would kill for a cable like this. It'd be great to use the dock with my ZeroLemon battery.
Samsung Galaxy Universal Smart Docking Station with HDMI and USB for Video and Peripherals. I was going to by this the other day on amazon but they were out of stock so I got a rain check. And got a case instead. It also has a lot of great reviews. I would like to know if anyone has had or tried one or would love to have one like me. If you do have one some pic or even a video would be great. http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Unive...1358526870&sr=8-3&keywords=galaxy+note+2+dock

I love the concept but am scared to use one being all of the pressure goes on the charging port. It could do nothing but I am a little nervous using one.

Naw watch the video the port is well padded and moves to accommodate range of cases.
So basically I've got a 9300mAh ZeroLemon battery... is there any sort of cable or extension thing I could get so I could use it with the Note II dock from Samsung? I know it's not just a normal male MicroUSB connector but something with a few extra pins. In theory you could make a female connector with the extra pins and just have a small cable run from the dock to your phone... but I'm not good with DIY sort of stuff. Does anything exist that I could buy that would let me do this? thanks.

I'm sorry I don't think I know what you want to do, really.
Do you mean you want to use your ZeroLemon while using the Smart Dock?
I want this too. A cable as an extension of the actual docking male connection for phones with extended batteries or bigger phone cases.
The phone would not sit in the dock but would be connected to it and able to use all the dock functions. Something we cant do with the zero lemon battery.

Hi,
Why not just remove the TPU case?
I have the ZeroLemon and connected it to the Smart Dock no problem.
I didn't think it would fit...then I went on vacation and havent had a chance to play with it. Vacation ends tomorrow unfortunately.
I thought about taking the tpu off but didn't know if the battery would be secure enough without it.

I already tried it. I have both Smart Dock and Zero Lemon. Just hold the battery while inserting it on the Smart Dock.
I don't wanna have to take it off everytime...
What is needed is some smarty fella to make an extension dongle. 1/2 inch should do it. Would allow all case fits with goodies.

Has anyone found a car holder that works like the dock? That is, charges via the pogo pins and does away with the need for messing with the USB port?
Sony seems to have given up on car accessories of late.

I have the Brodit one and I really like it, worth the price in my opinion. It's hardly larger than the device itself, and it allows you to swivel it in any orientation you like.

I use the official dock bolted to a universal screen mount. The dock rests on the dash so it doesn't wobble and if I make a manoeuvre strong enough to dislodge it then I'm probably looking at a big insurance claim anyway :silly:
