YMMV - Tips & Tricks to get Infuse Car Dock & Desktop Charger in Store for $18
If you're like me got the E4GT late or rarely check the Accessories forum, you would likely missed the Infuse car dock & desktop charger deal. So this is what I did.
1. Bought the Infuse car dock from here
2. Locate a AT&T retail store that still has the desktop charger
3. Once I received the Infuse car dock in the mail, went to the retail store and asked for the Infuse desktop charger
4. Went to the counter and said "there is a combo deal for car dock and desktop charger but forgot to checkout both online. So I would like to return and rebuy with the desktop charger." Works like a charm.
I will note this as YMMV. I might got lucky and got the retail store to do it on first try.
How much is the bundle coming to?

I bought mine at an AT&T store one day, and then saw the combo deal here that night. I went to another store in another town and did the same as you. I returned the car dock and bought it again with the desk dock.
It was roughly $18 total, but I do remember that I got a one cent refund. I guess the sales tax was different in the two towns.
Will it fit with a Case and is there a Pic of the desktop dock. I didn't see it on ATT

It doesn't look like it will fit with a case on (any case that is). Here is the original post with pictures.

The bundle is $18. I edited the title for make it clear.
ground the **** out of the desktop dock and removed the back and it fits my kickstand case just fine (still looks great) . did a little at a time with a dremel. car dock there is no hope to use a case. (use the garmin mount most days, works great)
Does this come with charger and audio cable?

If you get the bundled deal the desktop dock has a charger, no audio cable though. Oh, and it worked for me just like everyone is mentioning.
I just bought the car dock & desktop dock at the local AT&T store, came up to $17.50. The car dock is great, desktop dock seems to not fit just right, almost as if the phone is forced forward. You can force it to sit properly, but I don't like putting that kind of pressure on the USB output.
The ironic thing is I had just bought a cheapo universal car mount for $19 at Walmart but it wasn't wide enough, returned it and got an OEM for less.

For the desk dock, remove the internal back plastic plate (the one that has the green sticker on it telling you to download the Infuse app) and it fits perfectly.
Just came across these on ebay. Dont know much about the company but looks like a decent deal. Comes with free shipping but that takes up to 20 business days. I talked to the seller and expedited shipping is $21. I personally like desktop docks and looks like a cool idea.

why not just plug the cable in if the Note is in the horizontal position ?
or maybe you can clarify your question ?

So I have been looking around on eBay and Amazon for a spare battery and dock charger for it. I ran into this one which will be linked, but I don't know the brand or if anyone has any experience with this. I know they have the OEM ones, but those go for well over $35. I am on a tight budget as almost everyone and just looking for alternatives to save a few bucks, or should I just get the OEM or a different brand. I would appreciate any feedback and Thanks in advance.

I have the OEM charger and its awesome. Comes with a battery too. Don't know about the one in the link. Battery may not have NFC capabilities either ....just my 2 cents. I got mine shipped from Amazon for like $35.00. Its well worth it if you ask me. Good luck.

why not just get the galaxy nexus battery then?
Is there any place that still sells the official car dock for the GSM Galaxy Nexus? Also are there any alternatives that use the Pogo pins? Even better one that uses the Pogo Pins and supports a case like the Diztronic TPU case?
Let me clarify, anyone still selling the official GSM Galaxy Nexus Car Dock that isn't ~$75? Because at that price I will just hold the thing in my hand the whole time. I seen the Verizon versions going for like $10 on eBay.

I bought a car dock when they were new but never use it because the audio is overdriven. It would work with attenuation in the line I think.
What I wish I had bought is the horizontal pogo pin desk dock. That would be so sweet at work.

I'll sell mine for $35. It's been modified for the Verizon phone, but there's no reason it shouldn't work for gsm as well..
I've also got the desktop dock with HDMI out that I'll sell for $15.

I'm looking for the 3rd dock, not one of these two. . .
Horizontal, pogo pin charging, no HDMI output.
It looks like OP has an option, though. Thanks1
