Brodit Car Mount - G2 Accessories

Hi
Just to let you know that I tried my LG G2 in my Nexus 4 Brodit Car mount (with bumper size) and it fits with smart/case and charges.
Might come in handy if you've switched from a Nexus 4 and save you some £'s

Will post pic soon - won't let me attach so here's a link to photo

Thanks for the tip. But you could describe it more accurately what did you do?

Is this a secure fit without a bumper? I know passive holder is already available, so I can only assume active holders will follow soon.

Hi, I've only tried it with the flip case on and it fits very snuggly in. I imagine without the case will work fine but will test later.
As the micro USB port is central charges fine s well.
I haven't modified anything to make this work.
Stuck an NFC sticker on the holder and Torque kicks in every time the phone is mounted

The G2 fits very tightly with the flip case and is a bit wobbly with no case but it won't fall out etc

Do you use it with your own case like a quick window one?

Hello just a quick report to provide feedbacks on the following configuration :
LG G2 Official Quick Window + Brodit Nexus4 with bumber version : All fits well. The case opened allows when in the brodit support to charge and see your Full screen without any issue (if you accept to take 30 secs to take care of the power supply connector when inserting the phone in the support)
in a word Thanks 1979crazy for this really good tip.

Car Craddle, not universal?

Does anybody know a perfect fitting car craddle, like the original from LG for the P970?
Brodit is thinking about to release a cradle. So just email them that you also want a cradle, maybe this helps
Just mail to: [email protected]
why not a universal craddle?
i bought a new specific craddle after changing the mobile.
now i try this one:
Clingo Universal Vent Mount
after 4 weeks, i like it.
sorry, can't post outside links.
You can also use the craddle for the galaxy nexus from Brodit , fit 100%
Best regards,
Christian
Thanks for your replys, both are worth to take a closer look to it.

The Clingo doesn't work because it needs an even surface. The back of the 4X is uneven.
I think I give the Galaxy Nexus cradle a try if its available on Amazon. Thanks.
Looking at the pics of the Brodit for the Galaxy Nexus it looks like the Nexus has a curved base. Surely that won't fit? I want to be sure before spending £35 on one!

Searching at Brodit for the holder the search shows two models:
Item no 511324
Passive holder with tilt swivel - Samsung Galaxy Nexus GT-I9250
Item no 511331
Passive holder with tilt swivel - Samsung Galaxy Nexus SCH-I515
Which one is the right one?
Thanks,
Sebastian
I bought this one - Samsung ECS-K2
I just bought a Clingo, and put a screw through the base of the ball-socket part to secure it to my Brodit base in my car!!
It holds it quite far out though, tomorrow I think I'll saw the ball-socket's arm down a bit and put a screw into the middle of it from the back of the Brodit plate.
Works well on the textured rear of the 4x, but with the Nillkin cover it did keep falling off, I guess it's a funny slightly rubbery finish

Thought I'd show a pic of my Clingo, modified by cutting off the ball-joint and screwing it to my Brodit base. (it was far too far out when I screwed the whole ball-joint arm on, and was knocked with every gear-change.
I just used my carkit I had for my SGS2, fits perfectly..

Wombat - Was it a Brodit? Active? (with charger) or just the 'passive' holder?
I was going to buy one as the 4x is only 2mm wider, and was contemplating dremelling it out a bit!! Would love to know if it fits as it is!
Thanks for the pic. Looks really cool!

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).

Gameklip is now offering 2 models only. One for the SG3 and a universal one that attaches to a case for your phone with a 3M adhesive strip. They have cases for the Note 2 for $2.95, it's a generic TPU type. The wireless model plus case plus shipping to my house came to $21. The case attaches permanently to the klip so you will have to switch out any case you now have each time to use it. I have the Samsung protective case that slips off an on easily so I decided to go ahead and get the universal "case mount" since I would have had to take it off anyway with the old style system because it fit the phone too tightly to use with a case anyway. I will report back on the fit and quality once I receive the package.

You would have to take off any case anyway because the versions made for specific phones fit too tightly to allow you to place the phone plus case into the klip. You can't expect an option for every phone/case combination. If it fits tight enough to hold the naked phone securely it won't accommodate the phone plus case.

3M adhesive strips are way more reliable than sticky tape. Automomile manufactures use it to attach heavy items to vehicles that are subjected to much greater stress than you will ever
subject your phone to (unless you plan on throwing it when the game gets frustrating). Just clean the attachment point with alcohol before applying and you won't need to worry about it coming off under normal use.

I actually think it will look better than the plastic arms wrapping around the naked phone. This way the case and phone will be appear to be an integral part of the device rather than an apparent add on. Also, when I was thinking of ordering one like the original I worried that those arms, being made of rigid plastic and fitting tightly enough to keep the phone from dropping out, would eventually cause visible wear on the phone's body with repeated insertions. That should be no problem with a soft flexible case. Additionally, on the theory that the phone will eventually be replaced, it will be possible to remove the case and fit one for the Note 3, 4 or 5 to the device with a new adhesive strip. All in all it appears to be a pretty clever one size fits all solution for the multitude of devices in the market. I got notification that mine has shipped so I will soon have a better idea of how well it actually fits and will report back.
You make a lot of valid points let us know how you like it.

If you bought one for your original note that WILL WORK! I shoved my note 2 in it to see and it was way to strainful, so I decided to take a lighter to heat one side up to let it adjust to the longer phone, not it fits in perfect nice and tight and no issues at all!
Notice how the right side is angled a little, I can still shake it around and everything and its very sturdy still

Invent car mount

I recently bought a car mount for my note 2 which fits in the air vents of my car, from 'invent'. Despite what they said on the web store, it does not fit my note 2, so I get my money back, no worry about that. But does anybody know of an alternative that will fit the note 2? I specifically want an air vent solution, so others will not do.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Isn't the phone a bit heavy for venting? Any vent mounts I've ever used cause the vent to roll down and put the phone at an awkward and unusable angle.

I would love to help you, but help yourself first: ask a better question
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
No need to re-invent the wheel I have been using for years Arkon Mega Grip mount and been using it for the last year with my Note 2 (also Slim Grip Ultra works great, check it out in my review, in my signature link below).. It also comes with a very sturdy air vent mount. Though I don't use it in air vent, sounds like it's exactly what you are looking for: http://arkon.com/megagrip/megagrip-windshield-vent-mount.html
What's totally cool with it, it has universal ball-joint mount so you can use it with other mounts as well.
IOTTIE! it's 10, better than any other mount and it will hold many other phones too. It's universal but sold as for the note II and s4. It'll fit most big phones.
You can stick it anywhere and it won't fall, you can also rotate it completely in any direction you want.
It's not vent mounted, but why do you want that? Theres a million better places for it.

iOttie is good, but doesn't work well at all with Zerolemon battery. Trust me, I tested and reviewed them all (check out my signature link). Slim Grip Ultra is the only universal that fits everything up to Note 2/3 and 7"/8" tablets and it will hold a heavier phone even with ZL battery.

Car base for OnePlus3 ?

Hi all !
Just bought the OnePlus 3 ! Rly gud.
But now i'm searching a car base ! Any of you have found a good one?
Is magnetic car mount safe ? (Both mechanical support and for the internal electronic of the phone.)
Thank you !
(sorry for my bad english...)
I am using a brodit car holder. Very variable but expensive. But you get a very stable holder that can be removed without damaging the car.
I am using the Version for the Oneplus One with my Oneplus 3 Mobile inkl. the wooden case.

Hi
I did the same for my OnePlus One... Now switched to the Three and was wondering if this would be possible for the Three as well..
Did you already open your phone and was there sufficient room to add a metal plate?
In my One I had the smallest of the two plates.. (. 25mm), if you have opened yours I guess you have used this one as well?
I have been using the magnetic mount in my car with my previous phone NEXUS 5. I never needed to use any metal plate on the phone before of it's built-in magnets inside the back of Nexus 5 which was used for wireless charging.
So it was a perfect match.
Now due to heavier weight of the phone,,, I plan on purchasing a slightly larger version of magnet mount.
But please do not that, magnets will not damage your phone but it may mess around with the built in sensors inside the phone which may rely on tiny magnets in the phone.
I remember reading somewhere that, that is the reason why Apple do not recommend using magnetic type of mounts with iPhone. or some thing like that...
But again... I really haven't had much issues with my previous phone Nexus 5 and even GPS navigation worked fine. But I did have issue where GPS directions were messed up somewhat. But worked pretty much all of other times, so I don't know whats up with that.
Hi, can you please let me know which Brodit model you got? Can't seem to find one with a cradle that has a suction cup to use in cars. Thanks.

Checked it but seems for the OP3 there's only a holder, no charging option, you said the OP1 model works for you?

You probably don't want the charging option anyway due to not being Dash. Try to locate the universal holder. That way you can adjust a few screws and place any phone in it. Which mount you get is up to you .

I have been using the magnetic mount in my car with my previous phone NEXUS 5. I never needed to use any metal plate on the phone before of it's built-in magnets inside the back of Nexus 5 which was used for wireless charging.
So it was a perfect match.
Now due to heavier weight of the phone,,, I plan on purchasing a slightly larger version of magnet mount.
But please do not that, magnets will not damage your phone but it may mess around with the built in sensors inside the phone which may rely on tiny magnets in the phone.
I remember reading somewhere that, that is the reason why Apple do not recommend using magnetic type of mounts with iPhone. or some thing like that...
But again... I really haven't had much issues with my previous phone Nexus 5 and even GPS navigation worked fine. But I did have issue where GPS directions were messed up somewhat. But worked pretty much all of other times, so I don't know whats up with that.

In my OnePlus I have added a metal plate (non magnetic). I cannot imagine this changing anything to the phone or it's sensors. Only when "hanging" on the car mount there is some magnetism involved.
Did anyone have the guts yet to open his OP3 and add a little metal plate ?

Hi
I did the same for my OnePlus One... Now switched to the Three and was wondering if this would be possible for the Three as well..
Did you already open your phone and was there sufficient room to add a metal plate?
In my One I had the smallest of the two plates.. (. 25mm), if you have opened yours I guess you have used this one as well?

Yes there is enough room for the plate. I had to cut the plate for another phone so it's now 4cm which went in without any issues. Someone said it might effect NFC but since I never use this feature it doesn't bother me.

Yes. Very easy. See my previous post for link on how to do it.
im using a magnetic holder and a cheap silicon case to stick the metalplate onto, works well for me
