Does anyone have any suggestions for a dash or wind shield mount for a nexus 7 for a Honda Civic US 8th generation (2006–2011)?
This is what the car and dash look like for reference.

Perhaps the cd slot type mount? With the slope the Xenomix on top of dash wouldn't work nor the magnetic style either. I believe Xenomix also makes the cd slot mount. Both are in this subforum.

Did you figure anything out yet? I have a 2013 that has a similar setup inside. I tried a small case with Velcro on the back of the case then put some over the cd slot. It worked and I don't use cds, but just didn't feel right.

+1. Was going to post the same mount.
Here's a vid:
I've used this for a bit, http://www.amazon.com/Tetrax-72016-Smartphone-Magnetic-Airvent/dp/B0030IMXHM
It has never fallen other than the one time I caused it to. I also used Tetrax for my cell phone for years and loved it. Be prepared to glue a small circle of metal on your case though. It is not unsightly and doesn't look bad IMO.

This is my cheap alternative. Neodymium magnet and a modded case.
That's pretty neat. Where did you find the magnet?
Amazon has a great selection. I use the same magnet type setup in my car.
I personally would look to mount close to the small window which can be seen in front of your wing mirror. Stick a suction pad to that small quarter window which shouldn't affect visibility and its tucked out of the way. That magnet with double sided sticky tape looks like it could be an issue. Does heat not cause the glue to soften? Also in the event of an accident, it could go flying.

Google. Found a webshop in the Netherlands. But on eBay there are sellers enough.
I used a magnet with a diameter of 25 mm.

@ questions. one how well does it stay put( vibrations etc)? & two is the Streak not affectted by the heat when heater is on? Thanks a bunch.
Your Streak looks cool, too. Reminds me of Eddie VanHalen's old guitar...

I bought one of these based on your pictures - thanks.
Very, very good. Also bought the air vent mount one. Really well fitting, nice smooth ball joint.
The best 11 quid I've spent.
Highly recommended!
I have it for more than a year now, I use it on daily basis and I am very happy with it, and it's very stable.

Wow the red skin on your Streak definitely is awesome!! I think I will get one! Is the holder tight on the Streak and are there risks of the device getting scratches due to the tightness?

Not tight exactly, let's call it an extremely good fit. I'm always careful getting Streak in and out making sure to lift the flexible clip that holds the Streak in so that it doesn't scratch.
I too was worried that it might scratch but have had no problems at all and use it most days.
Very good holder, worth every penny.
amazing! thank you!
thank you! i've been looking for a year for this! woohooo!
Just got the Verizon/Motorola Vehicle Mount for the Droid 4 and it has a removable insert so it supports the phone both with and without a case...but so far the only "official" cases offered by Verizon are blue and purple.
I know the case selection is pretty limited at this point but does anyone know of any other cases that are compatible with this mount?
EDIT: I ended up buying this generic case for $5 on Amazon and it fits perfectly. Someone on a different forum also mentioned that this case works (although it might actually be the same case as mine after looking at it), while the Otterbox Commuter case is NOT compatible.

I ordered the PureGear case/holster yesterday from amazon for $19. should have it in a few days and I will post back. I purchased the dock also and hope it fits as I use the GPS alot.
this is the first pic i have seen of the vehicle mount... can you use the keyboard with this mount? or is it forever closed?

Not exactly. I have my D4 (with the case that comes in the power and protection package) in the car mount with the keyboard exposed. You just have to remember to slide open the phone before rotating the retaining clip from the rear. It does not fit as tight as when the phone is closed, but with the power connector on the bottom (in this orientation) and the retaining clip on the top, the phone is not going anywhere.
i have the verizon universal windshield mount (im tired of having to buy a new mount for each phone) and the black silicon case fits in with it perfectly
Just tested it out and my generic $5 case fits perfectly.
I made a cheap mount for my nexus 7 today because I was tired of laying my tablet in my center console while it streamed music via Bluetooth. My truck is a 2003 f150 lightning with a double din Panasonic DVD player in the dash.
All I used were two angle brackets that a held a plywood box together for shipping. I took one bracket and bent a lip in the bottom and zip tied it to the other bracket. I then shoved the bracket into a narrow slot above my radio.

To hold the tablet to the bracket I used double sided foam squares that are made to hold mirrors to the wall and stuck a thick magnet to them.
Its not pretty but it is functional. I have some small neodymium magnets coming from amazon that I will glue to a case to clean up the look. Here is a picture in the mount
I ran my charger behind the dash and out the front so I can plug it in with minimal wires. I use tasker to open car home ultra, turn on music, set the screen to always on, and turn off WiFi when Bluetooth connects. I also use tasker to close car home, turn on WiFi, and turn the screen off when I cut the truck off and power stops feeding the charger. I plan to plasti-dip the bracket to make it less likely to scratch. What do you think?

Mad props
I was expecting lots of duct tape lol...btw what app is that
Wow great and simple install
Plastidipping the plate will look nice!
I opened up the back on my Nex7 and put in a thin piece of steel in the center of the NFC antenna and another one in the opposite end, the tablet is then mounted to the dash via strong neodynium magnets behind a plastic plate on the dash.

Great news mate hope you get some good results.
Are you testing a gorilla pod style tripod?
why not just use something like this?

I got this when I got my monopod; very useful when going to muesums and so forth where tripods are not allowed. It will hold the GN2.
Otherwise, I would just get some kind of car dock you like, and just add the screw bracket; superglue can do wonders.
This product looks really good for our Note 2!

I have this. Don't get it. It fits, but it is such a tight fit that it is unpleasant to use. You have to either not use a case, or scrape out the rubber pads.

I just ordered one. I'll report back here once it comes in.
Combining with a Gorillapod for double duty as carmount and camera tripod.
The iStabilizer is fantastic.
Plenty of room for a larger phone when you pull it open, but it still grips the Note II firmly with soft rubber pads. I am not an expert, but it feels very well constructed.
In conjunction with my Gorillapod, it makes a perfect mobile car mount gripping the PT Cruiser's oh **** bar on the passenger dash.
Served up by the TMo Note 2
Being both cheap and a tinkerer I had heard of folks modifying Bionic desk docks to fit the RAZR M but had not heard of anyone who had done this with a Bionic Car dock. Some of you might say "But there is a perfectly good dock for the Razr M available"; however, at $31 on Amazon it was quite a bit more coin than the bionic dock for $6.
So I took the plunge and last night performed the minor surgery. Turned out pretty good. The plastic is pretty soft so I just used a utility knife (carefully) and lengthened the micro usb hole so I could slide over the plug. Had to trim off other stuff that holds the micro usb tip in place but the gutting was pretty easy. Then I had to secure it in its new position since I had to cut away all the mounting plastic so a couple drops of crazy glue to hold it where I wanted it and a good helping of hot glue and its secure.
Works great. Audio out through the combo cable is great. Phone goes into "car mode" when in it.
Pretty happy for $6.
Nice job! I'll be doing this before my next road trip!

Just a note for anyone doing this, 4.2.2 ROMs don't have working audio through the dock yet (at least none I have found so far). So if you want to reap the benefits of a dock, stay on stock or go to Clean Rom 1.1.
It is a good mod. A chore to say the least. I did it in a way to allow space for my favorite case. You have to mod the new also if you want the same.
Edit some moldable epoxy, crazy glue & black sharpie help.
Mountek nGroove
The best dock I've used is the Mountek nGroovel; price point its not terrible at like $20 and it utilizes the CD slot not the windshield.
Personally I hate taking up real estate on my windshield and the height that this dock puts my phone at is perfect IMO. It rotates and you still have access to charging and headphone jack, it also works for garmins, etc. as well
