I'm on my third HTC phone and for the last two I've shelled out £45 a time for the official HTC Car dock but finally you can just buy the Holder plate and use it with your previous car dock!!!
http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=263306&phone=259879
I ordered mine off Amazon for £9.99 and it should be arriving in the next few days!!!
EDIT: Got it yesterday and it works perfectly, saved myself a few quid so I'm happy!
DAMMIT I wish you did this two weeks sooner. Just wasted 60 american bucks on mine. I don't even like it that much
Unlucky man, at least you'll know for the HTC One M9!!!!
I am so angry! I asked HTC directly if they would be selling this as I had the M7 holder and didn't wanna have to buy the whole thing again. They said no so I just sold it on eBay. And now they do this?! LIVID!

Well, i asked about this also a while back and there wasnt a way. Glad i waited cause i thought it was way to expensive.
Nice one spotting this
Hey,
Sorry to drudge up an old thread. I was thinking of getting this to upgrade the car kit I have for my HOX (D110) but I can't get the current dock off. Could you please tell me how you got the holder off yours to put on the D191? Nothings coming off with a little force and I'm scared to break the thing... Cheers :good:
Weird, I just turn the top flat part to the left. It's pretty easy to come off tbh

Thanks for the confirmation man, after reading your reply just went for it. Hit it a few times with the hammer, stuck a knife under the cradle to try pry it up and eventually after much twisting as hard as I could it finally detached, now attaches a detaches no problem. It get's left in the sun for hours a lot so guess it must have just stuck a bit. Will be ordering the D191 today
Hey! That looks l exactly what I'm looking for. Is the back flat so I could put a strip of metal there? I have a magnetic car mount and want a quick way to mount my m8.

The back is curved like the phone, and has three prongs that stick out slightly, attached photos so you can see if it'll suit
Oh yea, I think I can work with that, thank you for that excellent response!
Hello. Does Your M8 play ringtone every time you connect or disconnect from the dock ? Mine is doing that and it's .... Me.
Can you plug in audio cable into it with this card dock? M7 had audio out on the top, so there was no problem connecting it to your car audio. Not sure how it's going to work with m8 where the audio port is at the bottom

i would go with the brodit holders. i have had them for my last 4 phones and they are great . The fit is great, however they arn't as cheap as some... but you do pay for what you get.
a good company to get them from is dsl developments. mine should be here in a min so i will post a few pics if your interested
Ordered this one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HTC-TOUCH-HD2...UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL?hash=item518ed1309c
Came today with charger, holder identical with the one provided by O2 UK with Orbit 2. It's holding HD2 very nicely.

Same here. I've already got the Brodit active mount installed it's the 4th one now. It's one of the first things I buy when I get a new phone. I use a RAM suction mount instead of the vent clip option. It's so easy to use just slide the phone in and out.
Ditto. I've just fitted a Brodit active mount for my HD2. Good quality mount that holds the HD2 firmly vertically or horizontally and the power connector lines up perfectly. I never regretted buying Brodit mounts for my past two phones and this one looks to be no exception.
same as above Brodit holder every time, good quality, good fit, not cheap but with a £500 phone its well worth getting something thats not going to drop it eh?
Brodit all the way! btw, there is a active thread already on this with many posts

Why not having a look on www.brodit.com.
I already installed the active one but removed the cig-plug (whole cable) and replaced it by a USB cable. So I'm also able to listen music while charging.
Works like a charm.

Hi Joerg,
How did you do this, my car stereo has a USB input and I'm also hoping this maybe a partial workaround to the Bluetooth issue.
Is there a line out in the micro-usb-plug, too? Like in the older HTC-devices or can i only get sound over the 3.5mm-headphone-plug?
On my polaris i used a htc adapter, where i pluged in a 3.5mm-sound-cable.

The Audio line out on the HD (mini USB) was not available so I can't imagine it being reinstated for the the HD2.
That´s bad. So i allways have to plug in two cables.
it looks nice. Thanks!
However, having a look at it, it seems like it's not possible to keep the HD2 horizontally (I mean the support holding the HD2 seems to be only for vertical use). Is this correct?

Would be intresting, if someone has this carholder and can say something about ist.
Landscape holding is important for me, because i want to use the hd2 for navigation.
What about the Motorola Moto Q-Holder? Can i use my HD2 landscape with this holder?

I received it this week. I haven't received my HD7 but it works for my HTC Tilt 2 just fine. Its really practical for me. I never use CDs and even if I wanted to its really easy to just yank off. I have gone through many cellphone car mounts but they were too bulky and cheaply made. This one is pretty ergonomic and sturdy. The one thing I hated from the other mounts is that if the car is going through bumps the phone would be bouncing around so much I couldn't see the screen clearly. The phone is really firm and steady with this mount, even in the most roughest bumps. Its a keeper.

Hi,
I have pre-ordered one of these from Play.com as they are doing it for £22.50 where as everywhere else is selling for £30 RRP or sometimes more.
Anyone got their hands on one yet? I pre-ordered a few weeks ago when i first got my Defy and the stock status has gone from stock arriving 29th Nov to Awaiting Stock. I guess the weather isn't helping.
I've wanting to order one as well. Look forward to any feedback people have.

Many thanks for that info, have just ordered one from Play.com - showing as in stock now, but with this snow who knows how long it will take to arrive.
It's going to look just dandy on my motorbike!
Status is now updated to 'Packing' so hopefully will have it soon enough.
I'm going to assume the mail will slow for a while yet while they clear backlog so if i have it by next weekend that'll be good enough for me.
(and besides, i need to switch over my car stereo before i can use the audio lead)
Thats the stereo switched over, just waiting for my car mount and 16GB sdcard now.
I ordered a car mount today, went from 2-5 days when I ordered it to approx 17th December just after I paid.. bastards..
That's maybe when they are expecting staff to get through the snow and dispatch it!

Hi, I was very lazy and ordered the first genuine Motorola one i saw on the web from clove. I didn't notice the price didn't include tax or postage. Doh!
Its a great mount,if a little bulky. I didn't know about magnet to trigger the car dock app. So as I started playing I clicked the phone in and the app came on its like Wow (yes i am easily pleased). And if you dont like the Auto trigger just put the phone in the other way round and the magnet is in the wrong place to work.
I can't really tell from the pics, but do you have to plug the micro usb in separately or is it one motion. i.e. is the cable separate or is it firmly attached to the cradle?
Also does the cradle rotate to be long ways instead of wide?
accordng to expansys description :
Power-pass through –power connection with insertion of the phone, no 2ndstep required. Simply plug in the included In Car Charger into the back of the mount.

car mount
The micro usb connection is completely separate.There are no sides to the mount at all,only a back and the little corner clips.So two actions.
There are two little tabs on the back that you can clip the power cord to, and leave a little loop to plug the charger into the phone. You could then route the cable out of the way of the
radio or heater controls and not have to re-route it every time.
But as I have previously wrecked a usb connection on my last phone I plug it in on my lap pushing very gently. Then clip phone into the mount.
The phone holder to the suction cup stand is a ball and socket joint, so it can be twisted and rotated through any angle. It can also be tightened, to lock the position.
Hope this helps. C

where did you get yours from?
I pre-ordered from play.com and still haven't received it yet (although it has been dispatched). I know things have been bad in the UK but thats been about 10 days.
I bought mine from Clove
w w w. clove. co. uk I cant post links as still a newbie
But worked out at nearly £33 with tax and shipping, it did arrive in 2 days, but would rather have waited at a cheaper price.
Some other orders for stuff (from different suppliers) took 12 working days.
It was 2nd class post which is quoted as 8-10 working days, so what with the Xmas post yours should arrive any day, but a polite mail to them wouldn't hurt.
New toys never arrive quick enough.
Im not with my car, I will try and take some pics on monday if you still want them.?
Thanks N
I for one would love some high res pictures of it - not for mounting it in my car, but for taking it apart and mounting it on my bike, replacing this thing I made for my HTC Desire.
car mount photos
Hi,
hear are some photos, taken with my Defy. I did take some with my camera with the Defy in the dock, but it looks like my pc is not seeing the SD card.
Your diy mount looks great. My kind of modding, hacksaw and zip ties and minimal planning!
I had thought of getting 2 mounts, the extra one i was going to look at making a bike mount for.
but I dont think it would make a good starting point for a bike mount. Not for the price anyway.
The phone is not that tightly held in the mount. You can pull it straight out without releasing any of the corner tabs. Fine for driving unless your on the Paris-Dakar, but wouldn't trust it on a bike.
On my last phone bike mount hack (Nokia 6220 classic) from
e cell shop E Bay
I just put a couple of elastic bands around it and it was fine. But as the defy has such a great and big screen there's little room for anything across the front.This was a dry weather mount only!
You can buy adjustable car mounts for less than £10, thats 3 goes at modding for the same price as the Motorola. or
Wouldn't it just slip in your current mount?
Hope this helps N.
thanks for the pics, very disappointed its a 2 part process to mount and attach the cable.. o well. I'm expecting mine in the post late this week.
I probably wont put one my mountain bike since its more 4x (hard to get lost on those trails) but will probably get one for my Motorbike.
Anybody know if there is a car mount available that is either specific to the Holiday, or one that is universal but works just as well? I want to try iOnRoad:
Not that I need it, because I'm a good driver.. lol just curious as to how well it works. Plus, I use navigation on occasion and it would be nice to have a real mount rather than propping the phone up on the dash or holding it.
Here you are.
Awesome. But, you know, I can't really Google any car mounts Vivid users have already tried out and experienced for themselves. Because even though I have, I haven't found any. So that's really why I asked. Nice try, though.

thanks.
While they don't have one for the Vivid/Raider yet, I've always used ProClip mounts (Brodit outside of North America). They come in two pieces, one custom fit to the vehicle and one custom fit to the phone, and I like it very much. I've emailed them to see if they'll make a Vivid mount, but they gave the standard "We don't know what our plans are" answer. If people are interested, email them, maybe if they get enough questions, they'll actually make one!
The ProClips are ok. I've used them before. However, I've really grown to like the Scosche universal that you can find at Walmart. It uses two small bottom feet and has sticky gel on the back to hold the phone.
It comes with a windshield mount. When the gel loses its stick, just clean it with a damp rag. Mine has lasted through three cellphones and going.
Kensigton Universal Car Mount
I just bought this a few weeks ago and it work excellent with the Vivid, it holds the phone securely and has very minimalist design. To remove the phone from the holder is just a press of a button. I used the vent clip mounting option, as I prefer not to obstruct the windshield with anything. Below is the link to the product page on Amazon, which is where I bought it from.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003SE6LD0
I picked up a thunderbolt dock last night at Verizon (only $10) cut off the left side (farthest from plug) and it fits and world really well, im ganna add some foam to the back so it fits in better and more securely.
I am actually using a Kensington iPhone car mount (can't post a link yet) granted my Vivid isn't in a case but its only about $10 on Amazon and it holds the phone snugly while given access to the charging port and can rotate from lanscape to portrait easily.
The only issue I have is that the mic on this phone is so weak that I can't be heard on the phone if I answer on speakerphone while driving. Does anyone know a fix for this?

Anyone know if htc makes different cradles for their car docks? I recently looked at an htc car mount/ dock for an evo 3d and it looks like an amazing mount with superior quality. I found a way to take off the evo 3d specific "cradle" and was wondering why they designed it that way if I couldn't find any other cradles online. It would totally make sense if I could go to a parts website and just buy the cheap cradle part. The mount is clearance at Best Buy so this would be the best inexpensive option I think.

Ive actually been in the market for a vent mount myself. I dont like window mounts mainly because they put your phone where it's sitting right in the sun the entire time its in the mount. Vent mounts help some to keep it out of the sun. I haven't bought one yet, but I plan to in the near future. However, before I do, I think I'm going to try this first. Found it in another thread, thought I'd share it here too.
http://lifehacker.com/5747897/how-to-build-a-car-mount-for-your-cellphone-from-office-supplies
My personal favorite is still the Mountek.
My first mount for my Inspire was a mountek. It worked great for what it is. I read somewhere that:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0052G6IRG/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
can be modified to fit the phone. Mine is due to arrive tomorrow and found this thread looking for the other thread lol. IIRC you have to modify (or cut off for the less handy) the portion of the mount that curves around the top of the phone (mic jack area). No worried as the USB port with firm top/bottom clamping should hold the phone from lateral movement in landscape modes. I definately would not try to have it hold the phone upside down when modified.
Try a type similar to the Rocketfish Universal mount...
Hi guys,
Just recently got the Vivid. Best Buy sells the Rocketfish Universal mount for about $25 or so. I'm sure there's something similar out on the web...I like this mount because I can move the arms/feet around the buttons and still secure the phone in mount. Useful if you have a GPS (like google navigate doesn't do a fair job) or another phone that you swap in and out with...
Would love to find a mount suitable for a '95 Honda VT1100 (though with some velcro strapping the Rocketfish would work. Any suggestions there?

Try installing "Equalizer", from the AppBrain market. It really will boost the sound quality both ways, and it's customizable.

Does yours allow the phone to actually charge properly? Mine it just slowly drains, figured I would see what your results were before dropping even more money on yet another cig lighter to usb port. My current one is spec'd to 500mA so if its functioning its provides the juice.
EDIT: Tested in car mode attached directly to the charger and it still slowly drained. must not be the dock then :/

Has any one tried this dock, just wanted to see if it would work if I had a case around. The last time I got one for Desire HD it fit perfectly but then I could not use a hard/soft case.
Well call it a test.
So, although there are not any charging docks out there for the HTC Vivid, there are charging docks out there for similar phones. That being said, I'm going to purchase this...
generic looking charging dock...for the HTC Thunderbolt and see how well it works. I figure I might have to give it some support in the back, but all in all it should be a good fit, not to mention the extra battery charging slot will be useless. I'm also going to pick up one of these...
window mount charging docks...and modify it so the Vivid will fit. The Vivid is .2" wider than the thunderbolt, so I figure it'll just make for a more tight fit.
charging dock and Car Mount
I bought few months ago this car mount (Exomount) from Amazon, I use 2 of them one at home and one in the car, It can hold anything so I use it as dock station too, So far it never failed me I drive around 6 hrs a day and its always sticked to my windshield never had problem with it, plus its cheap $ 15 sorry cant post links just search at Amazon "Exomount Universal Car Mount".
Vivid and dock or on the way from AT&T. Will post pics ASAP and answer any questions. I work for AT&T so I will report back on which cases still fit in the dock, if any, that we sell.

As an update to my original post, I received the window mount that I listed and after cutting off the far left side (the part the wraps around the top corner of the phone) it fit perfectly and it initiates the car mode when I put my phone in. The only downside is that it doesn't work with my TPU case in, but I think I have a plan to fix that

In a weak moment, I coughed up the $50 for this dock. At lease it comes with another wall-to-USB plug and a micro-USB cord. It works great, but I don't use a case. It is a snug fit. I doubt that it would work with any but the thinnest cases (without modification).
do you have a dock that automatically enters dock mode?
Does anybody have a dock, Car or Desk that automatically places the phone into dock mode? As I understand it other docks use a resistor between pins 4 and 5 to place the phone into dock mode. If you have a dock that automatically places your phone into dock mode, could you measure the resistance between pins 4 and 5. I've tried the 365K ohms suggested in another thread but it does not seem to have any effect.
Thanks.
I will try and post this tomorrow.
I have a resistance substitution box so I ran through a bunch of values. What I found is from about 12K to 9.8K Car Dock Mode is selected. From 1000K to 500K Desk Mode is selected. So I selected 10K for Car Mode and build a cable that seems to work. For Desk Mode I'd like to use 680K.
Then again. looking at these numbers I'm not too sure about the Desk Mode numbers I think they may be off by an order of magnitude, so I'm going to run those tests again. Ignore the Desk Mode number for now.
Bought the dock from AT&T (online) today after I got tired looking for one. Free 2 day shipping plus the cords included so that helped feel not so bad for it. I'll let yall know if it fits with the TPU case.
I just made this makeshift stand for mine for free with little materials.It may not be the prettiest but it does the job.Im going to glue rubber to the bottom and fill it with something heavy like sand or lead tomorrow.Works great here at home!Beef Jerky can,zip ties,and paper clips.Works for now!I decided to use the can so my volume button can be placed at the top while plugged in.Holds it in landscape or portrait mode.

I was supposed to get a free Titan but the store screwed up, I had already bought a cheap titan dock from ebay for like 9 shipped. fits the vivid great!

Nope. It won't even fit in with the TPU case.
