RAM mounts (http://www.ram-mount.com) claims to have a holder that will fit that Tab 10.1 It is model RAM-HOL-TAB6U which they claim also fits the Motorola Xoom. It seems weird that these tables differ in all dimensions by several mm and yet the same mount is listed for both. Anyone have experience with this or with RAM mounts in general? They seem to be a pretty big name in this field. They certainly charge enough.
Here's one I ordered for under $13. We'll see if it actually works when I get it.

I got it and it does the job. I use it as a passenger when my wife is driving and stick it on the passenger window in front of me.
It's a lot of weight hanging off the end of that arm so it bounces a little.
It's not the greatest but it's certainly worth what I paid for it.
Thanks for the info, I am ordering one.
Do these actually work well? and do they interfere with the passenger?
I just ordered a RAM twist-lick suction cup mount and the generic xoom/galaxy mounting platform for my upcoming trip to ireland. Will let you all know how it works out. Nervous about that much money hanging on the windshield.

I just got mine yesterday (TAB6U) and it does *not* fit the 10.1 tab. The 10.1 is slightly wider (the narrow side) than the Xoom and so it will not fit in the two 'brackets' that hold the 10.1 tab. Maybe it fits the 10.1v, but I couldn't say.
RAM-HOL-SAM4 is the one made for the tab 10.1 suppose to be out towards the end of july.
To re-start a dead thread, the RAM mounts for the 10.1 have been out since December, 2011 now. I've got two, one that uses a windshield mounting and one that uses the seat bolt. The mounts fit great and work great too.
Here's the seat mounted one:

I have the RAM mount for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 (RAM-HOL-SAM5U) on a twist-lock suction mount in my Jeep and it is great. Tab snaps in/out of the roller clip mount very easy, and this thing is SECURE! Great setup for using the Tab for navigation while driving.
Warning: won't work if your Tab is in a case.
Not a criticism of the Tab mount itself, but if you have the thing on a longer RAM extension arm it will wiggle a bit when you hit bumps, etc. It's a problem typical to the whole RAM series in my experience.

I use this rubber skin to keep my phones finish looking new. Also, I found this vent mount at an auto parts store for $8.99 USD. Works very well! And You can also see the control module for my Parrot CK3000 behind the steering wheel.

Here's another shot of just the mount.
I hated vent mounts until I saw this one. Usually they look big and clunky, taking up a lot of space. But this one is very low profile. And when i'm not using GPS, I can easily remove it and fold the clamp flat to put it away. It's called Type S. Got it at Pep Boys if anyone is interested.
Also, the Parrot CK3000 is just awesome! It works so well I bought a newer version for my wifes car to use with her wizard. I highly recommend this kit if you like a clean look in your car. The new ones are all black and are less than $100 USD on Amazon.
And lastly, I've been using this rubber skin I got from EBay for about $10 USD for about 7 months. It's very nice. The only problem is that the scroll wheel is a little more difficult to use but the scroll ball does the same function. It's a little thick but it still fits snug into the OEM HTC holder that comes with the phone. It has really protected my phone well. I've dropped it a couple of times but I don't even have one scratch on my phone after about 8 months of ownership. I highly reccommend it if you don't mind the extra thickness. For me it wasn't a big deal because I have big hands and it actually makes the device easier to handle now. It was too small without the skin for me. Just wanted to share this for the archives.
please, shop in ebay?
Is your HTC P3300 battery running out of life quickly or will it not start-up at all? The battery life of your HTC P3300 Mobile is limited like any other device containing rechargeable batteries. The battery capacity of the HTC P3300 Pocket PC drops every time you use it.

Hi
Car Accessories is looking beautiful but actually there is one problem that is i don't know about how to drive a car. So exactly i don't know this car is cheap or costly.
Those were nice car accessories that you have for your P3300. I hope that you are having a good time using that accessory and maybe in the future, you can find one again that will definitely suits you.
So I'm looking for a car dock. I want something that can mount to my windshield and rest at just below the dash level..excuse my crude photoshop, but I think showing you all what I mean would probably result in a better set of suggestions.

So that position, while it looks pretty low is only about 8-10 inches from the windshield. Id rather avoid a cluttered dash mount/pad. I'm also not crazy about the idea of the air vent mounts as that doesnt seem like a very long-term or stable platform. As for the audio out, are there any docks with an audio out...basically giving the user the ability to run both audio and power to one side of the device?
well why not one of these?
buy a longer windshield mount once you see if it is the center pin style or the 4 pin model?
that is what im planning on doing

I had a windshield mount but when making sharp curves or adjusting it, it would slide off. (Sliding off would weaken the suction but pulling on it was okay...
if you want an easy and low key to mount, your EVO, I would invest in an extra battery cover that has been modified with magnets, then place some magnets on your dashboard (if placed properly they might look like part of the dashboard). Just switch at the beginning and end of your trips.
This is the nicest one I have found yet with the most features and a great price.

that is a great price.. but i dont see power/audio... which OP was asking...
A dock with audio is impossible unless it has Bluetooth built-in. The only audio output pins on the Evo are in the headphone port.
No it don't it just leaves the port open so you can hook up to it but its nice it has the length and a nice feature I like is it keeps the camera open while still docked

Have been using this mount for a little over a week and can say that it is awesome. The thing I like the most is the mount. It is sticky and mounts to almost any surface, even the rounded portion of my dash. It does get dirty and needs to have some water run over it every once in a while to clean it off. The part that holds the phone is hard to use one handed, but holds the phone really well. It opens up to hold any phone and mostgps units. I picked this up on amazon for just under 20 bucks.

Just tried it. The mount does not show up on the screen when taking video or pics.

I got the mount on Saturday. I think it works pretty well for what it was worth. It definitely requires two hands to take in and out. It seems to hold pretty solid on the dash.
Sorry the pictures aren't that great. They were taken with my Thunderbolt.
just wanted to add I have this mount and have been using it with no problems. I also have a nook tablet that I put the suction cup on the back of and clip to the headrest to let my daughter watch movies for long trips. Its very versitile.
Just tossed one of these in favor of the Samsung mount. Much easier to work with.
Bad experience!
Bad experience!
I bought this car mount 32 days ago & It's already broken!!
I used it in my car for a Galaxy S2 device with a sunlight protector (as was recommended on exogear's site).
For the record, I'v been known for my gentle treatment for all of my things, in particular, the technological one's.
The damage was a broken grip (the one that holds the cell-phone), just near the red rubber.
Be careful guys\ladies - waste of 30$.
I ordered a vehicle mount from Amazon and had to return it. The "arms" that held the phone in place covered the volume rocker. Only way to make it work was to sit it in the there not centered and that just looked bad. Paid $25 for it so I didn't want to have to do that just to make it work.
Has anyone gotten a vehicle mount that works properly? Preferably from Amazon?
Here is what I ordered before.
I personally just make my own. Buy a reasonably cheap hard case from eBay, and combine it with a Garmin sat nav mount also from eBay. Some heavy duty Velcro and it works great. Did the same with my desire. Means I can interchange for when I am driving or my partner now she has the desire. Also cost about £6 in materials and postage.

Based on what I heard other people say in this forum I went with this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004Z8ZLOS/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
Also checked some reviews on youtube.. just got it yesterday so I can let you know how it goes by end of next week...
I normally go with Arkon. I had one mount for 4 years, it charged it too. However it finally went out. And yes, you can get it from amazon prime : )
I ordered an electronic cheapo from hk for $10. It has adjustable everything. It even handled my atrix very well considering the spot of usb and hdmi on that. And it has to two flip out arms on bottom. I just use the one on the left so I can plug my 3.5mm jack in.

Thanks for the responses. I just ordered the Arkon one. That one looks like it should work really well!

Here's the mount I ordered until Proclip starts shipping their mount:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003XAF4YQ/ref=oh_o04_s00_i00_details
I posted a pic up there with my gnex in it. The mount is flimsy compared to the proclip I used with my dinc for 2 years but I didn't expect much for $15.
The Gnex fits in it just fine and no buttons or ports are covered. Didn't want to drop $50 on the crappy VZW mount only to pitch it when my proclip comes. My Xterra doesn't have a lot of places to set it and I was tried of it sliding off my leg and smacking into the door on turns
After using it for a few days I will say I wish it stayed attached to my AC vent a little better but generally it does what it says and stays put.

Very similar to the exo mount posted here too.
I really want the Samsung GSM one though...

I couldn't find a car mount for my Galaxy Tab 10.1 that I actually liked, so I just threw this together in my shop. I think it's almost done, just gotta grind down the weld points, and repaint. Btw, this setup dosen't require any mod to the car.
(Yes, I know I need to clean the screen).
Okay, It's not letting me put an image code in.

While we are sharing, I was pretty pleased with this setup I built for my car. The US version of the BMW Z4 has a removable cup holder that plugs into the side of the center console. I purchased a spare cup holder from BMW, took it and the Samsung car windshield mount apart, and then screwed a couple brackets onto the cup holder so I could mount the Samsung windshield mount. The cool thing is that the mount is interchangeable with the phone dock and the 10.1 dock, so I can use the same cup holder-based mount for both tablets and my phone and just switch between cradles. I've even found that the LG Nitro HD (which I upgraded to from the Galaxy S2) fits in the same car dock.

(You can actually see in the reflection of the 7" tab that I am taking this photo with the 10.1, and my GS2 is sitting in the little tray in the center console...)
All the mounts I could find were.........I don't know how to describe it. I wanted something set in the same area of my stereo so I could skip songs, etc. I ended up building an all steel setup that would fit in most cars, that will hold most full size tablets.
I'm just gonna put the pics in my album on here.
Yours looks awsome, btw.

It's not clear from your pictures how did you attached it to the car.
The "legs" on the side of the frame extended down to both sides of the console, and the leg on the right has and adjustable screw piece to adjust the size abit. It also has a little 2 sided tape on the back of the frame to keep it from flying toward you.(yes, that happened once, the car is a Challenger RT, so it's got a bit of take off speed).
