I just picked up a new (to me) vehicle and am going insane with nothing but AM/FM/CD. I need Sirius/MP3/Phone connectivity!!!
Anyway, while I am tearing the dash apart I was thinking of doing a more "integrated" install with the car dock. I am planning on hard wiring the USB charger and instead of the suction cup mount was looking at vehicle specific mounts.
Crutchfield sells mounts from a company called Pro Fit, and here are their adapters:

I was wondering if their swivel mounts for the Garmin Nuvi or the Mio/Navman would work with the socket on the motorola car dock. Does anyone happen to have both that can try popping the dock off it's stem and trying the swivel from one of the navigation units?
Alternately does anyone know of a vehicle specific, solid mount that would be compatible with the Atrix Dock?
Thanks in advance!
P.S. I'd try and check it myself but don't have the dock yet to play with.
For clarification...
Like this, but with the Atrix dock:

Yes it does. I use a ProClip car mount with a Garmin-type ball and it works like a charm.

To both of you, THANKS! I was wondering this for a while since I am using profit mounts for god knows how long.
By the way, where did you get your car docks? It sells for $54 everywhere I looked, is there any place cheaper?
Note that for the Garmin mount, I had a ProClip one which I threw away a while back (don't ask...) and, not wanting to give them another $29 for it (seriously!), I found a much cheaper ($9.45), compatible one on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ACP2FY
As for the dock, I bought it for $39 from my local AT&T store That's the standard price. I had to call around to find one, but then, that was the day the phone came out. Not sure now.

I owe you a beer you good good sir!
PS: For the life of me I cannot find any AT&T store that has the car dock in stock in Northern VA area.
AT&T seem to have the car dock at $39 in stock on their online store.

Thanks for the link. I just ordered one for $29 with free shipping.
Got one also with the discount...THANKS! Been trying to find one. Everyone in the AT&T stores I've been going to, as soon as I say the word dock, they think I'm talking about the laptop dock and it's hell trying to explain that's not what I want.

Thanks! purchased one of these from Amazon (UK version: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002ACP2FY/ref=oss_product) and a vehicle specific brodit proclip. Much better solution than having it stuck to my windscreen and either in my way or too far away due to the slope of the screen!
Hi All,
I am looking for an car dock, please suggest me which would be good, i do not mind if it is universal car dock as long as it does not spoil my phone. I am open for anyone selling orginal car dock.
Buying an original brand new car dock is out of question as it has to be shipped from US and not available locally and it is pretty costly by the time it reaches here(Taxes etc)
Location: India,Bangalore
I did buy a charger a local car charger but this does not charge my atrix where as it works for other phones any idea?
Please let me know guys appreciate anyone's help
I'm on the search for one my self and so far Clingo is the best universal car mount there is! I'll be buying one very soon. Or I'll wait bit, I'm sure the official car dock will get very cheap and it will be affordable even including taxes. You can do the same if you are able to wait.

Amazon has the Motorola car dock for the atrix. Motorola suggests 59.95, but you can get it for 25.00 at amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Motorola-Atrix-Car-Dock/dp/tags-on-product/B004OA1UMY
The motorola vehicle dock is mint. Worth every penny. The integrated audio and charge via single custom wire makes for a clean look.

Thanks for the info but unfortunately Amazon does not ship to India..
I was searching one to buy, but it's hard to find here in Brazil (or I hadn't searched hard enough). But this one from Amazon will do just great!
Thanks!

Anyone use this with cm9 or cm7? Does that all in one audio cable that comes out of the USB work or does it need some blur app?
Sent from my Atrix 4G
I've used the Motorola Car Dock with both cm7 and cm9. Google's Car Home apk works fine with cm7, though I had some audio glitches and would have to unplug and replug the audio jack.
I'm using Car Home Ultra with cm9 now as the google car home does not work yet and have had great luck with it. Bluetooth and audio jack work as expected.

All Moto Car Dock Audio works flawlessly with CM9 but only once you install the Google car app. At CM7 it was a cluster. Weekly CM7 resolved this, but the audio routing would change to speakerphone if you received or made a call. Blur based ROM is better at 2.3.x. Been running CM9 from jokersax for 4 days. Very impressed. Not worth trying CM7, considering how far along CM9 is at the moment. Some issues exist, but nothing that will prevent you using it as your primary phone.

Don't post this stuff here man, It belongs in the market place - Forum Rules clearly state this.
Is there a car dock made specifically for the S3 that has a USB connection that will automatically enable car mode.
I had one for my Atrix but I can't seem to find one for the S3.

Bump.
Anyone.

I haven't seen one as of yet. there are some nice Samsung brand car docks though, and although its not exactly what you are looking for couldn't you use one of those NFC tec tiles to put it in car mode, maybe attach it right to a dock?
If you find one, please toss up a link...
The Samsung Infuse car dock that AT&T has works for it. Won't fit with a case on but it does enable the car dock and it fits perfectly. It was on sale for 17 bucks not long ago.
The US Galaxy S2 had a dock like this. The things that Samsung does just doesn't make sense.

Tasker is awesome, but Llama is a great alternative as well for those looking for a free solution.

The Infuse dock automatically starts my car app (Car Home Ultra) and the USB charging and 3.5mm audio out work flawlessly. Only downside is the fact that it won't work with a case, as the previous poster mentioned, but I use a Diztronic TPU style case that takes seconds to remove and put back on so I don't mind it at all.
I use an NFC sticker, with NFC Task Launcher, to initiate (and terminate) car dock mode.
The dock that works is the Infuse 4G car dock. I bought mine from AT&T for $17.99, but it's sold out now. Amazon has it in stock for $29.99. I'm not aware of a better price at the moment, but I'd search and look for the best price.
I'm using a Brodit active charge cradle with an NFC tag (NFC Launcher kicking off a Tasker profile). By far the best & most secure cradle I've seen or used, but not cheap (about £50 all up).
Was curious if anybody has tried the cheap car mounts on ebay. I can't post links but they are model specific and around $6. There is one for the Inc2 and a slightly different one for the IncS.
If you wanted to search for them on ebay the titles are:
FOR HTC Droid Incredible 2 CAR MOUNT CRADLE HOLDER dock
Car Mount Holder Cradle For HTC Incredible S G11
I've been thinking about getting one to see if it is total garbage or not and thought maybe somebody else has already done that.

It should work just fine if you are not using a protective case on your DI2 - however, I do not like using these windshield mount, like GPS mount, as it's an open invitation for someone to break car windows looking for something of value in a grab & run.
I got something similar but a generic one with A/C vent mounting - horizontal style for a few dollars off eBay, great when using Google Map/Nav. on the go - the old Garmin has long retired even w. 2 updates.

I would throw the mount in the glove box when not in use. Was thinking about trying one of those bean bag things that just sit on the dash. Seems a lot easier than trying to undo the suction cup or the vent mount all the time.
Hi,
I'm looking for a car holder (preferably a vent car holder) for our phone...
Does anyone have any suggestion?
Thanks!
