LEGO car dock

Hey guys, thought I'd share my LEGO car dock with everyone.
First about the phone:
HTC Droid Incredible running
2.15 Radio
CM6 9/17 Nightly
With a shell/holster case combo
Then the vehicle:
2002 Honda Civic EX 2 door coupe
Pioneer stereo system with AUX/Bluetooth/CD/iPod/XM Radio support
The LEGO set:
Jedi Starfighter
And without further delay, the pictures:
(Sorry about the glare, didn't realize the sunroof was cover was open until halfway through)
Yeah, the R2D2 legs acting as the front bumper to the phone isn't the prettiest of options, but I felt that between making the dock as small and as unobtrusive as possible, aesthetics, and functionality... this option filled the first and last options the best out of any other combination of parts.
Now for the ultimate in awesomeness, I decided to try out putting a movie on the Dinc then streaming the audio through the bluetooth. There are some issues with the audio being weird. I don't think its the blueooth itself, I think its the fact that the 1 hour episode I put on there is almost 1.5GB and ridiculously hi-def. I'll try out another movie this weekend. Heres some pictures featuring an episode of Spartacus: Blood and Sand.
So far, "structural integrity tests" have proven that this baby can take an amazing amount of shock. Took a two hour drive with my girlfriend and a friend and drove around the rural parts of my area. There was a few bumpy dirt roads and the whole time this thing kept together and more importantly kept the phone steady.
I used to have this awesome desktop dock for it too, but I tore it down the other week. Maybe I'll rebuild if I get tired of this one o.o

Best.....Dock......Ever.....Thanks for sharing. Made me LOL Hopefully wikitude drive goes live soon, then I'll need a dock that let's the camera see the road, and this gives me ideas.
Edit: Your stereo does not have audio in?

Thanks!
It does, but I never found a use for it. Plus i'd have to drill a hole and run the AUX cable to the back. So far the iPod cable that runs into the glove compartment and the bluetooth as worked alright ^.^

Awesome. Any instructions for setup?

Yeah sure if theres enough demand i'll take it apart and put it together again on camera.

Dude! I like that! Post some instructions!!
were you watching Some swedish lesbian porn?
Send me a link to that as well.

N7 Stand via Direct TV

I thought I would share my new creation. I got tired of small stands that would not sit correctly while in my chair. So, I took an old direct tv stand and made a wooden enclosure, paired the together and.......voila! I have a new chair mount stand. Because of the skew adjustment on the dish stand, it can easily be set in both portrait and landscape position.
The whole stand is not quite finished. It still needs staining on the wood, stand painted light brown, and mounted to the chair. For now, I just have it sitting on the floor.
Update: I have finished staining the wood and have it fully mounted to the chair. The only things left to do are paint the base and add wingnuts on the back to replace the nuts so transition from landscape to portrait do not require a driver. Other than that, it is working perfectly. I have had it mounted and using it for the last few days. Otg cable and stereo aux cable are routed directly through the tube on the mount for easier and cleaner cable management. Watching movies and vids, browsing the web and most other things are excellent with this setup. Of course, accelerometer based games wont work well in this stationary setup, but the n7 slides right out, so no big deal. It is also where I have been leaving it at night. Great storage spot. Anyways, I am adding a few updated pics.
Next project: Building a normal carry around protective case for the N7 from some 100+ year old barn wood. After going through the planer and stain, it should look amazing.

What did you set the azimuth and elevation to?

It would depend on your seat. Mine is at 50 elevation. Azimuth is not marked on this on, so no clue. It is maxed out in the forward direction. Top unit is spun 90 degrees on the down tube to allow both portrait and landscape to sit correctly. Ordering the ir remote adapter tomorrow from amazon so I can use the tablet to control my tv, blu ray amd stereo while it is in the stand. This is my kings chair!

Magnetic charging dock

Just received my charging dock... But forgot that was going to use a cover so, just to inform that you have to remove the cover every time to charge it or you can try to slowly put the phone in some weird position in order to charge the phone.

I did my homework soon after my Z3 arrived.
Previous phone I always used and highly rate the case mate tough series so gone again this time around.

This one has space to allow you to pop in to magnetic dock so hoping it'll work.

I have the charging dock for Z2, will it work with Z3?

I'm really considering getting this phone. Coming from a nexus 5. I don't know if I should get this or wait for the nexus X lol. How are you liking the phone?

It works but Z3 is thinner so it can tilt and disconnect easily, less than ideal.

Have you tried pulling the insert out?
I purchased a cheap hard shell case from eBay to protect the phone while I'm waiting for a decent case to come on the market although for £1.95 this case was pretty good quality. The phone with the case on would not charge or fit with any of the inserts provided with the DK48 Magnetic Charging Dock. I removed the insert, added some foam padding,and trimmed the case slightly which allowed the phone to sit in the dock and charge. It works great

LG Watch Urbane Dock/Stand/Cradle [Custom]

Hey everyone, after seeing the other thread about a modified apple watch stand, I decided to make my own little stand.
Here I simply took an old Palm Touchstone Wireless charger and used it as a base for the stock cradle. I used a small piece of 3M automotive tape to connect the two.
The next idea I have is to tear them both down and try to solder the usb port leads to use the usb from the touchstone rather than the cradle so the usb can run out the back.
Check out the video here and the photos below

Very nice. Looks as if LG sold this.

The touchstone is a wireless charger right?. Why not just get a wireless qi receiver kit n connect it to the watch charger.

Touchstone is the other standard.. Not qi. And I don't see any efficiencies that could come out of it. A direct solder would be best.

PowerWave II Pad - Vehicle Usage

I see the input is 12v 2A using the provided charger.
I would like to add one of these right under the surface of a custom console. It would be under a vinyl wrap - like an adhesive woodgrain vinyl, not vinyl like seat covering material.
I've seen videos of people doing the same but using a 12v cigarette lighter to usb adapter.
This one is a little different since it comes with a wall charger. Additionally I'd like to hardwire it to a fused 12v source (distribution/fuse block).
Possible? Concerns?
