EVO car dock

I couldn't find a decent car dock for my EVO, so I drummed up my own, and it's damn sweet (and cheap!) if i may say so myself....

I use a car mount that I got from walmart years ago. Its one of those ones that clips to the vent.

I have the same case, but it is clear plastic and hard, not rubberized, so it actually provide some type of drop protection.
I added the disk to the back of the case, and it is great. Keeps the camera off the table when I set it down, and you don't notice the disk while its in your pocket.
That car mount is the nicest mount I have ever used. It is rock solid when installed. The disk will NOT firmly attach to the evo battery cover, the textured paint will cause it to fall off. The service from the guys that sell that case is absolutely top notch, I would buy again from them in a heartbeat.

Thanks for the idea. Ordered the exact samething, except I got the black case since that would match my car better. Same price too.

I didn't want to cover my EVO with a case, so I needed to get a car dock similar to the one I had on my iPhone. No Universal car docs for me.
Look up item 250638968146 on eBay.
I just ordered one, i'll let everyone know how it works out when it comes in.

i just ordered two of them beause i have another weekend car. how is it on bumps? does it look as if its gonna fall off? im just worried about the phone falling off because i have stiff suspension on my other car.
is the clip on backplate sturdy enough?
thanks for posting the code though, thats awesome

<sorry, I cannot post a link or image yet>
I'm using scosche's mount for iphone 3gs(IPH3G). It is a bit tight for my evo, but I really like its flexible windshield mount, and this tightness makes the phone stay within the dock in any position.
fiy, I just got "Gizmo Dorks Rubberized Case Cover: $3.22", and it also fits with this mount.. (more tight than before though...)

Any tips on getting the disc to stick on the case?
I've used both of the disks, and they stay decenly on the case until I actually try to dock it in the M2... as soon as I try to rotate the device at all the disk just pops right off

I had the same issue. Super glue solved the problem. The adhesive they provide will not bond to anything (in my case, Seidio Innocase Active Limited Edition Black, the slightly ruberized exo-skeleton part). Works great now and I don't think its gonna fall off anytime soon.

I just bought one as well... this will be my first non proclip mount and I am happy about the discount - so much so that I bought 2 of them and a red case! Thanks for the tip! I will send pics when they arrive and I mount them - lets see if the summer heat melts them away!

installed last week
I didn't want to post a reply until I actually used it for a little while but now I can actually say... what a fantastic mount. I have it braced against my dash and installed the disc on the back of my active case. Unbelievable how unobtrusive thewhole set up is compared to a normal dock. Would recommend to anybody. FYI get a Bluetooth receiver. Unlimited data from Sprint means you can stream all day long

I was surprised to hear you had problems with the disk... did you swab the hell out of the case with the alcohol swab that came with, the case felt a little dusty so that is very important... I actually tried to get mine OFF and had a hell of a time and gave up. Another question, is the disk on the phone or the case I recommend?
Glad to hear its being enjoyed by some as much as I have enjoyed mine.

Well, to be totally honest the alcohol wipe I received was mostly dry when I openened it, and I figured the case was new so I didn't bother wiping it, although I used what little alcohol that was on it to wipe down my dash before applying the dash mount. However, I have noticed after all this that case does have a dusty feel out of the box, so maybe that was it.
It also seems the disk-in-the-mount is a tight fit... once it falls off of my case, I almost need a pair of pliers to rotate the disk and pull it out.
I'll try superglue and see if that helps.

Car mount

when someone actually gets one of these home charger/dock combo's and confirms they fit and work, could you please post here, with the link to the one you bought?
so many of these things are junk, and dont fit the phone, that I am afraid to try another one that doesnt work, after getting burned already
thanks

I actually bought a zuuma z4 and took it for a spin this morning. Wow that thing is solid! It stayed put even after a 120 degree turn at 20 mph!
It has an adjustable cradle with soft padding that holds my evo in place and gives it some protection.
I really only have 2 problems with it. It took me a while to figure out how to mount it properly as it comes with no proper instructions. Second, its byoc (bring your own charger).
Great for $30!!!

zuuma looks very nice...too bad they dont make a home desktop/spare battery charger

I am not buying the home dock, as I don't have a use for it...but I am buying the car mount and will report back how it works. Coming from the other side of the world though, so it will be 10 - 15 days before i report back.

if it does, just get the ebay one and drill a nice hole on the holder

They sale a generic universal (rebranded) one at Wal-Mart that clamps on to the phone with thick foam padding. It's pretty stable and clips securely into the vents (or screws in / etc). It's like $9.99. Best of all, you don't have to remove your protective case to use it, since it adjusts with a button.
Food for thought.

I wonder if it'll still fit if your phone has a case on. If not, that's a deal breaker.

If Car Mount is specifically made for EVO, why in the description does it say "Suction cup with lock clip to ensure your iphone 4 remains in place"
Same crap Products with different labeling

I just got my ebay order. This is the second item l got from the same seller. Unfortunately, the dock was shipped with no protective packaging, and part of the suction cup was broken. I'm hoping to get a replacement. There is a hole in the holder for the camera. Looks like the box was opened by customs, or was shipped broken because the broken piece was missing upon receipt. The holder is tight-fitting, and has 4 locking slots similar to my magellan dock. Build quality is ok for 6 bucks, but I doubt one would be able too fit an evo with a case in the holder. I have a zaggskin on mine. I previously purchased the battery charger and 2 batteries from this vendor.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I received the car dock today and it works pretty well. There is a cutout for the camera, has to holders on the bottom (or side if you leave in portrait) and a flexible clip on the top. Has the universal 4 peg holder and the large middle so if you don't like their holder or need one with a longer neck you can get one. I have not tried it in the car as of this writing, only in the house to try out the fit. It is perfect without a case - with my "Barely There" case it fits, but no quite right. I will post pictures very soon so all can see what I mean.

Easy enough...
Don't bother with this one. The fit on the car dock is tight...too tight. Left small, very tough to see, scratches. You may not notice, but I did and I am not happy with this one.
Not worth the few bucks it cost.

DealExtreme just got it in for a little cheaper. They are good with refunding your money too when it comes to problems.
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.40745

Does anyone know if the dealextreme or ebay car holder will work if you have an extended battery with a larger back panel?? I ordered the extended 3000 mah battery off eBay.
Also, I just wanted to point out that the eBay car dock and the deal extreme one are definitely different.

I got the car dock and I really like it. It's a snug fit but the Evo pops in and out easily enough (I did not get any scratches on it). The Evo is held very securely and does not vibrate while the car is moving. There is maximum up/down and left/right adjustment and when the best postion is found you lock it in with two big hand screws. Overall I'm very satisfied.

Back on topic, I have the car kit coming in tomorrow. As soon as I put both in place, I will let you know how it works out. I've been told that the Seido Active case works with the car kit in the link and that the Commuter is similar in thickness as Seido if not thinner.

Awesome, I'd appreciate it. Take pics when you've got it going... If it works; I'll buy it ASAP! I need it before Oct 1st, going to the Grand Canyon

if anyone tries this with the siedio car kit and it works please let us know.

Sorry for lack of updates guys. I got my tracking info early last week for UPS and from the updates, I should've had the mount since the 16th!
As of now, there have been no new updates on where the package is. Really annoying. I hope I get the package today so I can test out and report back here. If not, I'll have to chase UPS down to see what's up.
Sorry for the delay.

My Kensington mount arrived yesterday.
In short, the EVO w/ Otterbox Commuter does fit onto the mount. Though I have to say (similar to the Seido case), given the Commuter adds a little bit of thickness and because the hard case is a little slick, the EVO may fall out easily (either landscape or portrait).
I snapped it on and gave it a little shake and it holds fairly well, but that doesn't mean going over large bumps or potholes will necessarily hold it in place.
I haven't been able to test it in vehicle yet as the vents in my car don't accommodate the vent mount and stupid California outlaws windshield mount. I will attempt to use Windshield regardless and will report my experience.
I will also post pictures (hopefully this weekend) so you guys can see what I'm referring to. All in all, perhaps with a little modification like adding thin layer of rubber onto the grips may work even better.
Brian

Awesome yeah... You're not gonna get pulled over a windshield mount, as long as you don't have it in a spot which makes it difficult to see in front of you.
Please post pics ASAP. I need to get this rockin by the 29th as I'm going on a road trip

Yeah I figure the likelihood isn't too high to get pulled over as much as me not having a front plate. =)
I'll try to shoot for earlier than the weekend to get pics on here.

Yeah hurry up homes

Seems everyone is waiting on Brian75 to post pics, but thought I would post pics of my EVO in my Commuter case, mounted in the Arkon universal windshield mount in my car. You'll notice the silicon tab covering the charging and HDMI ports on the bottom fit perfectly between the feet of the universal mount.
Just offering an alternative to the Kensington mount, and much more secure. No chance the EVO is coming out of the mount unless I want it to.
Decide for yourself how ugly it is. I have no issues with it. Sorry for the poor quality pictures. It was too sunny yesterday.

I think it's great, but it's a pain in the ass to keep putting your phone in and zipped it tight...

Does it also rotate ... for like map view?

Yes it rotates to landscape - sorry I didn't take any pictures in that orientation. The universal cradle is mounted to the arm with a ball joint that has adjustable tension and will swivel 360 degrees. It also tilts up and down enough to be able to have the EVO pointed at you for a straight-on viewing angle.
To be honest, I leave it in the orientation shown 99% of the time.

I respectfully disagree. I put my EVO in and take it out with one hand without issue. Have you used this mount for any length of time to generate this opinion?
(Disclaimer: I am in no way affiliated with the mfr of this mount... I simply like it)

I haven't but it probably works like all other mounts that click to close... if you would post a picture of it sideways with the charger plugged in, that would be awesome and I'd probably purchase it tomorrow

I will be getting my xoom tomorrow morning and this will be one of my first accessories.

I'd like something that would clamp on to my dash wall. Think cop car laptop.

I like this idea, I would especially love if these guys would drill holes for the camera....augmented relaity navagation has already come to Rt. 66, just a metter of time before it comes to Android. Have you seen an ipad mount reviews?

i work for a company who makes high end video products for the automotive world. We we're looking at making something for my XOOM today but in the sun...the XOOM screen is just very big which causes a lot of glare and with the sun hitting it at angles we couldn't see the screen very well.
Going to give it a shot anyways...we'll see.

The glare is an excellent point.

Looks awesome! Let us know how it goes when you get it. However, in CA, I think there is a law against operating a screen like this in the front of a car. If it actually got mounted, we would probably get fined for it unless we could work a GPS angle or something.

My car's windshield isn't big enough to mount a tablet to it....
This might not only be illegal, its likely very dangerous because of how much of your field of view it blocks.

Sent from my Xoom using XDA App

I don't think the glare would be any worse than my Droid X. I have learned how to angel it for best results. I have also held the Xoom up to see where it would work best and only block a view of the top of the dash (don't look much at that anyway ) I would only use it for longer trips and in the motor home anyway. The Droid, in it's dock, works fine for local destinations.

Isnt it alittle bulky to put on a dash?

This is the only way I see Xoom in my car:

no offense but putting the xoom on the windshield is the dumbest thing i've ever seen.

other than the glare issue, i think a car mount solution could work for certain cars. definitely not a windsheield mount though. it would have to be a variation on the Proclip style thing that is specifically designed for your car and specifically designed for the xoom (i have one of these for my galaxy s, and it is absolutely hands down the best car dock ever).
one of the downsides of living in an apartment is i cant weld something like this out of sheet metal as i would have in my old place... on the upside it probably saves me from higher insurance fees from the inevitable car crash that would result from having such a setup in my car.

http://www.amazon.com/RAM-Mounting-RAM-B-316-1-AP8-Non-Locking-Universal/dp/B0042HLMYK
This is one of the ones that I want. They just need to make it for the Xoom...you could probably buy the one in the OP and this mount and piece them together just fine. This would put it in an area like a cop would use their laptops for.

thought I'd revive this thread
Has any of you early adapters ordered a car mount yet? I would love to do that in the near future (including a car charger) but I don't know what to get. It would be great if it didn't cost $50+ though. Main use would be navigation.

I'm planning on installing the standard dock underneath my HU. The dock has an integrated power and aux out so it perfect for this application. The only problem is it will block the IR (not to mention all the controls) of my HU so ill need to hard wire my HUs remote to the IR... but I thinks it worth it. Best carputer you can have on your dash right now, and you can take it with you when you are not in your car!

Samsung Car mount question

Does anyone know if the below car mount fits a Samsung note encased in a TPU or nilkin/rock hard case?
I did a measurement of my note in its protective case and found the width is about 85-86mm...so it might be a tight fit, given the maximum width of the arm is 85mm.
Anyone who has bought this mount and has a TPU / Rock / Nilkin case can share his experience would be helpful. Thanks.

I have the car mount (its FANTASTIC BTW). the fit is very tight and I do not think you can leave any case on the device. Aside from a snug fit, you need to snap the power clip in, and it only fits if the device is already snuggly fitted into the mount.

As I mentioned, I have this case: http://www.amazon.com/elago-Slim-Ca...d=1324256424&sr=1-3-catcorr&tag=5336653508-20 (elago G4 Slim Fit Case for Galaxy Note -Soft Feeling Black)
And I can snap it into the dock fine. A little snug, but not bad. Recommend using both hands to remove.

Please give us a small review when you get chance.
I am interested in this mount but there appears to be a lot of unsatisfied user who have problems with it sticking to the dash or the phone sticking to the mount.

I picked up an ILuv car mount at the weekend and it's working great, no wobbles and holds the Note in the flipcase too.

I received this today so will give you a mini review tomorrow after I've given it a test run on my drive to work.

I own original Car kit,
it Does NOT fit Galaxy Note with case
BUT
it DOES fit Galaxy Note in original Flip Cover Case

Ok, I got to test this out today.
Firstly, the unit itself is very nice and compact, it does not take up much space at all.
It sticks to the dash extremely well, not only does the bottom part use suction but it is also very sticky. I tried with a fair bit of force to pull it off and it wasn't moving once stuck to the dash.
My Note is in a Nillkin case so is slightly heavier then standard but I placed it on the two little grooves that stick out, and then firmly pushed it back so it stuck in place. I then drove to work (and later back home). The ride is quite bumpy in parts and I deliberately drove quite aggressively in an attempt to make the Note fall out but it didn't budge. I can see the 'stickiness' being lost over time but apparently cleaning it with a wet cloth fixes that so only time will tell I suppose.
So far I am pleased with it.

Cheers for the update.
I've just ordered one from mobilefun.de as they have them at 11,99 yoyos.

Any of you coming from the Streak who purchased the SlipGrip commuter car mount will be interested in knowing the Note will fit into it with a slim case (I'm using the BoxWave).
I mentioned this in an earlier post.

I think I am going to pick it up. It will fit the permanent mount arm I have in my Subaru.

I just ordered the same holder. What do you mean by "permanent mount arm?" Can you post a couple of photos?

I assume you dont mount your phone in winter

I want something that will hold it in landscape in the centre dash.
So that's basically the middle of the car (centre) and the highest tip (of dboard) but not on the glass. That way viewing is much much better and the holder doesn't leave a circle smudge.
Here's my car:

(i want it above the warning lamp button where the multifunction display resides)
Btw, in my city if they see the circle smudge or the holder, they break into your car and look for the gps, which costs me a window to repair and any stolen goods.
