Nice
I'm going to need one of these when my Artemis arrives within a couple of days. Not sure but i think that it comes with a holder for the car in the box. Anyway just wanted to say that you should stay away from the holders that attach to the heating vents of the car. My unlce who works for Cisco Systems told me that they have been flagged by his company because it apparently is not good for the device.Not sure if this is true but just wanted to give this community a heads up on this one. I say you go for the suction holders.

The P3300 comes with a car holder, which looks very much like the brodit holders oddly enough...
Also comes with a windcreen suction mount and a natty HTC car charger (witch shiny chrome HTC embossed on it)
You only get the car charger, windscreen mount and 512MB Transflash card with the Premium version (this is the one with full TomTom mapping included) - well thats what the manual states, I got all three "extras" with mine - Mike
I didn't get any accessories with my device. I just got the base unit with the manuals, etc. I need a car mount.

Hey Neptune,
I see what you are saying, but thousands upon thousands of very satisfied customers and no damaged devices, along with rigourous controlled tests really do mean you are worrying about this without a valid cause!
Thanks
Bryson
anyone know of any other holder/charger units for the artemis? £40 quid is kinda expensive!
It Sucka

Perjan, thanks for the heads up. For £40 i would be expecting top build quality.
Brodit holder for UK O2 XDA Orbit
The Orbit is basically an Artemis with a redesigned shell....
Does anyone know if the Orbit will fit into an Artemis / Brodit holder?
Cheers
Chris
hi
the orbit usb port is located slightly differently to the P3300 i believe it is only millimeters out but could make a difernence. I heard Brodit were making a holder specific to the Orbit for that reason.
Re comments above about vent holders i used one for 2 years with a IPAQ 5550 and had no issues at all.(infact in the summer it was a bonus as the ai con helped keep the device cool)
I find they are not so suitable for the Orbit as the clip/holder that is stuck to the device is not Orbit friendly.and if i use the clip that came with the Pdair case it hangs forward.
i use a suction mount with the side grip bars and it works great with the PDair case.
Well I have the brodit mount for the Artemis and it works well with the Orbit. It arrived after I read this post and I was aware it might not fit exactly so I gently bent the connector on the mount and it now fits perfectly and I am more than happy with it.
I am now just awaiting the brodit pro clip to attach it to the dashboard over the air vent. As I do not want to leave the screen mounted holder in the car due to last attempted break in!
Just to confirm only gentle pressure is needed to align the connection to fit perfectly to the Orbit so well worth the money in my opinion.
Anyone know of a good car dock for the Aria that sits on the dashboard for navigation.

I am not affiliated to the suggested company but have bought from them on multiple occasions.
They should have what you are looking for. Very good build quality as well.

Yeah, that's pretty much Proclip's deal. They do make phenomenal products, but they charge phenomenal prices too.
One saving grace is that they sell the car mount portion separate from the device grip, so you can buy the car side once and just swap the device side out as you move from phone to phone.
I love the mount I have, but I'm not 100% sure as to whether I think it was worth the cost. If it was maybe 2/3rds to 3/4s the price, I don't think I'd have the same reservations, but at this price point, I'd do some serious looking at universal mounts before dropping the change on a ProClip rig.
I found a Car Mount on eBay for $7. eBay item #: 400148176134 (Enter the number in eBay search, I'm a new member so I can't post links). The eBay merchant (sak.gaming) is based in Hong Kong and it probably is going to take two weeks for the thing to get here (I live in Edmond, Oklahoma, US), but it seems like a good deal. It says the mount is for the HTC Aria/Liberty (We know the Liberty is HTC's code name for the Aria), yet the picture shows the HD Mini. It has been confirmed that the HTC HD Mini and Aria are basically the exact same phone, just one has WinMo and the other is Android. The plus side to the mount I found is that it could also be used as a desk mount, I will report back when I receive the mount. (Ordered on 8/28, could take two weeks)
Aria / HD Mini Accessories
The HTC Aria/Liberty/Intruder/A6366 is the exact same form factor as the HD Mini (and the hardware specs seem identical - only difference is the OS). Anyway, I found this distributer's site that has car mounts, desk docks, adapters, etc.
www<dot>netimes<dot>com/shop/htc-dopod-htc-hd-mini-c-80_754.html?page=1&sort=20a
Desk docks on the first page and car mounts on the second. I haven't ordered any nor have I ever ordered from the distributer, but their prices are pretty cheap (have not checked on shipping).
Now if only the Aria had audio outs through its usb port, but I don't think that is the case since HTC got so much negative feedback on their extUSB jack that was also used for a headphone out.
Let me know about the quality if anyone orders from here.

I'm using an Arkon vent clip mount... $15 shipped from Amazon, and is a lot more solid than I imagined.
Let me know if you want pictures.
What is the model number of the Arkon you bought at Amazon?
The Arkon car mounts that I found are universal phone mounts. One product holds just about any device. The Arkon website lists most of their products for $20 and that is what I paid for one from Best Buy. I ended up returning it because the vent clips were cheap plastic and they broke off inside the vents. That one was not Arkon, but was very similar. Hopefully yours is more substantial.

Mine seems to hold up fairly well.
SM429-SBH is the model of the one I purchased... but there are many on the market and I chose a vent mount as I drive an older compact car... (2000 Subaru Impreza)
I took pics for one member and will post them shortly, after dinner.
I guess a thank you is in order. A wee bit off topic, but Arkon is the only company I've found that makes a mount specific for the TomTom XL, called the easy port. I've had mine for at least a year and have broken the flimsy POS suction ring mount TomTom gives you. Arkon makes a pretty substantial looking EasyPort mount. Amazon has it for $9.99. I ordered it; if it is worth a darn, then it says something about the rest of their products. So thank you ioft for pointing my curiosity in the right direction, so that I stumble upon the solution to a problem I've had for a few months ($119 decent GPS unit I can't use).

NP! I hope it works out for you.
Pics! Excuse the messy car. The mount is adjustable in terms of phone fitment and swivel. The bottom "feet" can also be slid out of the way of the charge, microphone, and lanyard ports. The side "grips" and bottom "feet" also have cushions on them to prevent scratches and such. I've also included a video showing that the phone is secure in the mount, and the "creaky" sound you hear is my vent... car is old -- it's a 2000 lol.
Taken from my old N82.

The one I own ("dock") isn't a true dock in the sense of connectivity & screen control. It just holds the phone. Navigation/Maps app keeps the screen on.
I ordered the arkon SM429-SBH, directly from manufacturer for $21.95, never received. I attempted contact several times, and will likely have to file a payment dispute.
I did however purchase the same unit from Amazon, $14.88 when I combined other items (from filleritem.com), to get to 25$ for free shipping. The dock seems somewhat wobbly at first, but when you finally get it situated, gravity and the click grip thing work very nicely together. I have an audio input cable for my head unit that I wired up around the top to plug into it, and my power cable wraps around the audio cable (curly cord), so that it hangs nicely below where the phone sits. I may post pictures if anyone is interested.
Please do not try to order this product directly from Arkon.

I like these mounts, the page just went up today. It's much better than the crap Verizon is pushing. Anyone else ever use these docks?
I can't tell from the pics but does the one that have the charger block the audio out?
Never mind, I can see the audio jack now in the pics.
i came on to post this...I just got an email from proclip confirming this. Ive used proclip in the past and they are of good quality

Looks like it. I would like the active setup, but I will have a TPU case on it. I wonder if a heat gun can help me bend it out a bit.

I'm looking at the same problem here. I've been using a holder with the 2 amp charger for the past two years with my Incredible and absolutely love it. I've never been able to get an extended battery because of how tight it slides in, though. I'll email them and ask but I might have to just swap in the stock battery for rides I know I'll need the juice.
Pros of using this are great, though. Because it's 2 amp charger I would get ~25% in about 20 minutes of driving with my Incredible with fast charging enabled in the kernel. GPS and Bluetooth for Google Maps would slow the charge down but would still give me a full charge from 20% to full in an hour. With Cyanogen I would set my bluetooth to only turn on when connected to a wall charger so I'd slide this in and my buetooth would turn on and connect to my car automatically. Last but not least, your wires are all tucked away! Very clean look.
Does the mount hold the audio cable so it doesn't move and it plugs into the phone?
Any issues with the diztronic TPU case? Would it prevent the microusb or audio plugs from inserting into the phone completely?

If you get the universal dock, the bottom of the phone is completely exposed so you won't have any issues. I got my wife one of these (universal) for her iPod a few years back and the build quality is top notch.
i wish I didn't have to also plug in the cables separately, but maybe I can jerryrig something up.

Yah, that's I'm trying to avoid. Taking off my case every time I get in the car would be a big hassle.

If you don't want to remove the case, then you need to get the universal dock. I wish them made a version of the active dock that was slightly adjustable, but they don't.
My question is would the charging holder accommodate the extended battery given that it barely adds any thickness to the device. From the looks of the pictures, it looks like the device slides in and is held on to the sides only so it looks like shouldn't be a problem.
I contacted customer service and they said this:
Indeed the added battery won't make it work in 512324. Our adjustable holder listed with the Galaxy Nexus listing might work. Our custom holders are made for the device as it comes out of the box, and indeed any added thickness will make it not work in our custom holders.

Most extended batteries tend to add a lot of bulk (more than cases sometimes). The person who emailed you back may not be aware that the GN's extended battery adds about 1-2 mm of bulk to the bottom half of the phone.
Since the holder is a slide-in type, I can't see this being 'millimeter-tight'. Don't take my word for it but I'm willing to bet that this will fit even with the extended battery on.
I guess we won't know for sure until someone gets the fitted holders and try it though. I'd try, but I've a case so the fitted ones do me no good for sure.

80 bucks for that dock. Ouch. Good concept, but that is a bit rich.
I wish you could buy these at a store. I've already got the whole set for the Nexus One and I've been waiting for the GN mount. I just added to my cart and it's an extra $20 in shipping (to Toronto). So after duty at the border I'm looking easy at $60 just for that one piece of molded plastic. Yeah the mount is great, but that's seriously expensive.
I've used their cases for the last 2 years, nexus s and thunderbolt, and they are great. I still have my Nexus S holder and the picture of the one on their site for the GNex looks like the same style, if so it should work with the extended battery. The slide in case is tight on the sides but leaves a gap behind the phone, see attached pic. The phone slides into that groove and the groove itself is very thin so it doesn't appear it will interfere with the rear battery cover at all.
Proclips is a great solution. I've used it for my car for years. I used them in 3 different cars. Pricey however, it works very well. A+
Got a negative response =(
Unfortunately not. We only have adjustable holder with charging for our Apple line. These have all the same connectors in exact the same location.
For other phones there are too many differences in charging location and thickness of cases.

Hi
For those in the UK... just ordered an active mount from http://www.mountonus.com/
£59.99... bit steep but I guess thats the price you pay for a nice phone-specific/car-specific mount!

It was to be expected. They are not going to design a niche product for a phone until it sells consistently in the millions. That said... Creating a Micro USB small swing arm to make it universal should be too hard....
If I feel industrial, I might see what I can make on my own.
As the official dock is way too expensive imo, I thought I'd start a thread where people can post their unofficial car docks they bought and the experiences they made.
So far I came across two docks, the [CAR] Passive holder from Brodit (2nd pic)
and one I found on ebay, sent from Hong Kong (pic below): Windscreen Car mount small (1st pic with text "one X")
This one also can be bought with various different mounting options. I am not sure how easy it will be to dock and undock the phone in the mount though, looks rather tight.
I think I will wait some more days / weeks before I'll buy something.
Any other car kits you guys found?
2nd looks pretty decent for a cheap mount
Here another one, brodit active, but really ugly...

the problem is it's being sent from HKG, if customs here decide to have a look at it I end up paying CHF 35.- (double the amount that thing costs) customs service fee, I almost might as well buy an official one
I would get this one, but I need a seller here in Europe.
Hey this one is low cost and will do the job:
ebay swivel one x holder
I used ot use it with my old DHD which now feels so ridiculously heavy!
You can mount it witht he provided suction that holds well enough.
Or if you buy some 3m automotive grade double sided tape
You can mount it on other places that don't have a smooth glass finish.
I had it stuck on plastic trim near the driver door/window.
The surface was mildly bumpy but that 3m held on well until the day I removed it.
Popping the phone in and out, and rotating it with force didn't budge it!
Out of curiosity I also purchased this one:
Those protruding clips can probably come off easily.
Some 3m on that flat surface and it will probably stick anywhere.
I like this one because it sticks out and gives a greater range of movement / angle.
Secured near the door you can have your arm rested on the seal and access the phone easily.
Unlike the official (or any other suction windscreen mounted one) which forces you to lean towards it awkwardly.

How easily can you mount and demount the phone in this one?
I am also looking into getting this one, I also already have the cradle, would you mind taking a pic without the phone in it for me to see if it would fit for my cradle (with my old mount I could simply take away the "case" which held the phone, was secured with 4 rectangular holes in roughly 2.5 cm distance to each other)?

It can definitely be used for that (did it with my HD2 myself), but the swivel one will also not cover the camera lense.

Hey thanks for finding that.
This one here is pretty much spot on to what I been looking for:
The way them brackets expand in their demo video looks like it will hold a phone even if it's in a tpu case.
They ship outside of US too but the best part is that they allow you to use your own fedex/ups account.
This is the one I purchased.
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/160777560050?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
I really like the way the suction on the windscreen works. Some of these other car mounts are horrible, they fall off after a few minutes, hours ect...
The fit of the HTC One X on the bracket is very tight, won't ever fall off.
Happy with this one.
Btw this one arrived... 6 days transit, not bad for HK.
The item is not the best though.
The neck is more stiff then my first erection when I discovered p0rn. Hard to bend.
The phone sits well tight in the bracket but putting it in feels like I'm going to damage the phone.
Not the best. Ebay didn't deliver.. usually they only have quality true? lol
Anyway, I will purchase that one from Arkon. Looks decent and can cater to multiple phones.
I've just found the following item on eBay which may be of interest to UK HOX owners:
[Unfortunately I can't post a link as I haven't posted more than 8 times on this forum]
Search eBay for item no: 360454478820
£5.95 free postage within 2-3 working days.
Looks to be the same item/design as the on in the OP
I'll be placing my order today and will post again with feedback hopefully by the end of the week
not bad this is, use to have one of these for my old HTC HD2
only problem is when you change your phone for something different,new than you have to sell this with the phone and buy a new one again.
So I've decide to go for some universal accessories as I was tired of changing the holders,dockings, chargers all the time. Especially in car access. as I always ended with reinstalling cabels, holders, etc..
But good solution for someone who don't mind to change or who's not changing phones often

Could you check the back of the phone holder itself, I ordered one just like yours and it has 'G21' stamped on the back. (G21 is the Sensation XL)
I can manage to get the phone in, but the fit is so tight I'm scared the screen will crack when I hit the first bump in the road...

The way them brackets expand in their demo video looks like it will hold a phone even if it's in a tpu case.
They ship outside of US too but the best part is that they allow you to use your own fedex/ups account.

Yeah, it'll definitely fit with a TPU case as long as it's not super thick.
hello,
can anyone please recommend me a heat resistant mount?
i tried 4 and all of them just melted and wont work anymore.
i am from ISRAEL and the temperature outside is 35 degrees Celsius = 95 degrees Fahrenheit. do i need something that will last.
thank you.
Where I live, it's been in the 90-100F for the past few weeks. It's probably not what you're looking for but I've been using this and been pretty happy with it:
EDIT - so apparently I can't post outside links. I'd search Amazon for "Roadster Smartphone Sticky Pad Dash Mount" END EDIT
It's really cheap and I think it was designed for an iPhone but it fits my SII. If your phone doesn't fit (due to case or whatever), it seems like you can cut the rubber to "custom fit" it to your phone. It doesn't move around on my car dashboard and hasn't melted (yet). It has a sticky bottom but it doesn't leave any marks on my dashboard. I usually leave it in my glove compartment box when I don't use it but it's small enough that you could probably just take it with you when you leave the car since it's not that big.
Hope that helps.
thx, but i want a mount that swivel with an option to connect power cord.
you can check amazon.com.

this one looks great.
2 problems: very expansive. and i need a universal one, not just for i9100
update:
i made the ultimate car mount for me. took apart two holders and made one. and the entire thing goes on the sticky-pad on the dashboard!
look at the pictures below.
Hi, we do have a really hot summer this year… yesterday ~36 centigrad so I think not far away from U mate I’ve been using this model:

and it’s pretty reliable and with charger included…
thank you very much!
the original made of durable polycarbonate... the price is expansive...
