DIY Car mount + Question about pogo pins - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hi,
Has anyone seen this?
http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=16992427&postcount=2
It seems pretty easy and do-able. I don't own a Galaxy Nexus but I plan to get one soon. My biggest issue with the phone is the utter lack of car docks available (especially in Canada)... So this is my backup and I'll probably end up making one of these.
Now my question: I'm not particularly experienced with wiring and stuff, but I'm capable of doing the work. Would anyone have any ideas to incorporate the pogo pins neatly into something like this?
I haven't seen any tutorials so far, but I read you'd need some kind of microcontroller?
Thanks.
Either way, this is a pretty smart solution for a car mount.

Why not just buy a Universal Car Mount For a cell phone?
Ebay is full of them.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNIVERSAL-C...054495?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5ae18b399f

Because they're big and atrocious looking. To me this is a more elegant solution that 's easy enough to do. I was just sharing it, and wondering about the possibilities of wiring for the pogo pins.

This post may help
Also this tells you which is + and which is ground, also provides some ideas for implementation.
This thread documents the ongoing development of a pogo pin dock.

Why not just buy a NFC sticker which you put on the dock, then it can trigger what actions you want when you dock it. Unless you are trying to skip plugging in a power cord.

And:
enable the offical car/desk dock mode built into the phone.
enable AC charging without using a custom kernel
not need any software installed to make it work "right"
Personally, once the micro-controller is figured out, I'm going to mode my otterbox commuter and SlipGrip car mount into a powered dock.

Judging from the pictures, it looks like you probably do have to take it out of the case. It seems to be a pretty snug fit. I haven't been able to find any reviews/feedback about the car dock, tho. So I can't confirm.
Finally available, I'll probably get it from the egg. Does anyone know if the phone detects that it is in a dock as apposed to just being plugged in?

The desk dock does trigger the phone to pull up either desk home or other things like some dock clock apps. I'd imagine the car dock will either will do the same thing, or know that's it is the car dock and do something specific to that.
One annoying thing on the desk dock is it has an audio out port, which would be great as the speaker is hard to hear considering the dock fits nice and snug. But they also give a nice announcement paper with the dock saying the audio out feature will work when Froyo is released for the phone.
With all the background noise in a car, audio out would be even more important. Since they seem to have cut a hole out in the mount where the speaker is, I'm guessing they're going the practical route with it and not counting on Froyo.

That's interesting so this pretty much proves the GPS issue is because of the hardware in the phone, right?

Thats what I thought at first too, but Im not entirely sure. The TomTom has its own GPS software in it as well, so you're bypassing the i987 entirely, both software and hardware. There is an app called "Bluetooth GPS Provider" that just reads what the TomTom is transmitting and uses it instead.
I received the Samsung Captivate Vehicle Mount and I'm very impressed with the quality of the piece. I had been using one of the generic mounts (mGrip) and although it did it's job, I wasn't satisfied. Most generic mounts use a flexible gooseneck stalk to hold the phone. This flexibility allows the phone to bounce and vibrate - it's just not steady.
There is no flexibility in the Samsung mount. No bobbing and weaving . . . none!! The phone is positioned in the mount securely and accurately, and once the phone is installed the piece with the power usb connector slides into the phone to secure the connection. There is also an external speaker jack that will become functional once we receive froyo 2.2.
When the phone is put into the mount and the mount connector piece is slid into position to mate with the phone, the phone automatically goes into the navigation desktop providing 5 large icons for the navigation functions.
The mount comes with a car charger cord included, no need to purchase one separately. Price is kind of high at $50, but it will be cheaper on eBay or discount sides if you're willing to wait awhile longer.
If you're looking for a high quality mount that provides an exact fit for your phone, proper automatic insertion and alignment (via the sliding power bracket) of the mini-usb connector and rock solid stability, this unit is the one to get.
Be aware that this mount will ONLY work with the Captivate - the other Galaxy S phones will not fit. AND Samsung mounts for the other Galaxy S phones will not work with the Captivate because of the case shape differences and the differing positions of the usb connector.
Hope this helps those looking for a vehicle mount for their Captivate.

Hmmm...
I guess the question is... Where does it do the GPS calculations at- the software that runs on top of the OS or the driver that runs below it? I don't know enough about it to know for sure- but if we knew it should help narrow it down.

Thanks for the review bud, I ordered one myself from the Egg. Taking my Rocketfish (temp solution, it worked ok) one back ASAP.
I prefer the style from the samsung website. But its just to expensive.
This is my captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine.

If you look at the pictures on newegg (they let you zoom), you will see that it has an audio out. I did order mine yesterday, should have it soon, it ships from their NJ warehouse.

I assume you're reading that from the included instructions. If so, that would make two places (home dock) where Samsung has mentioned in writing their intent to provide the update of Froyo to Captivate owners. They need to get it out already.

Love the official car dock, need help extending mount length

So I have the official car dock:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ECS-K1D9BEGSTA
And love the functionality of not having to plug in power or audio out all the time.
My only issue is that I want to be able to extend the arm length as it doesn't fit any where great in my car.
Has anyone seen a vent mount or extending arm accessory that is compatible with the official holster?
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions. I'm sure I could get creative with a solution but didn't want to reinvent the wheel if there is something out there already.
Nice! Is that mount horizontal only, or can it rotate to hold the phone upright too?

It can fully rotate 360 degrees and pivot in any direction. The holster is attached to the arm via a ball and socket connection so you have virtually unlimited options of angle etc... and then you just turn a knob to 'lock in' the position you like. I definitely worship the dock, just need a longer arm : (
OK one other question....if you have a case on your phone, do you have to take it off to use the dock? It looks like you would.
I searched around to try and find a longer arm, and no luck

You definitely can't use a case.
The fit is meant to be 'perfect' so it's easy to lock in your phone with the microusb plug so power and audio work.
I love it!!! but no case would work.
Unless you can find a way to mount the flat circle to a longer arm and suction to that there isn't a viable arm extension. I have looked also. My maxima gives a long reach to the dock to where I like the mount to sit.
I bought the infuse dock but instead of using the arm that came with it I bought a proclip center console mount for my car. Looks nice and works great although it was expensive. Attached the infuse dock to proclip car mount and a proclip swivel mount.
I have the Infuse mount which I'm guessing has the same design as yours. Anyway, I found that the vent clip mount that I've been using for my Galaxy Tab mates perfectly to the Infuse mount. I can't be positive but this looks like the same vent mechanism.
Looks like I'm not allowed to post links so search for "Black Car Air Vent Holder With Clip For Nokia " on ebay and you should find it for $3.34.
Sorry to be off topic, but does the car dock have a cut out for the camera lens? I'm not sure from the pic.

Awesome thanks! Might have to pick this up then!
so, i have a meta question about this dock. it looks pretty cool, and it *might* work to put it vertically in the space in the center console of my '98 honda accord, hopefully putting it right at my fingertips. that part's a crap shoot however. what i don't understand though is the audio out jack. how the heck does that work?? the audio jack on the phone is at the top, but the audio jack on the dock is on the bottom next to the usb plug. i just don't get how they route the audio out there. this might be a stupid question.

The phone only needs to be plugged into the microusb port on the dock for both power and audio to be piped through. The actual headset jack on the phone is not used. So phone goes into dock (just microusb port) then the audio out on the dock will work.

The desk dock works the same way. Only USB plugs into the phone, but the audio jack on the back of the dock does route the sound to external speakers.
This dock and mount is way better than that one. Plus ball locking might fit yours.

Wow.. I'm glad you posted.. I just started to search to see if audio via the usb was possible and wasn't finding anything. Couple of questions..is there a usb/line out volume adjustment or is it fixed? Also.. I already have a micro usb hard wired in my car.. is it a micro usb on the end of the cigarette lighter adapter? Also are these available at any local stores.. just hoping I could pick one up instead of ordering.. I checked the local Sprint store and they just have the universal mount kits. thanks for any info!

the dock that's specifically for the E4G includes a cig lighter power adapter, but the infuse version does not. i have power going to the infuse from cig lighter, then a standard audio cable going from the back of the dock to my car radio. works well. the volume level adjustment has to be done in software. i'm currently evaluating CarHome Ultra, which has configurations so that when you put the phone in the dock, it sets media volume to whatever you desire, then when you remove the phone from the dock, it reverts back to what it was.
---------- Post added at 11:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 AM ----------
one thing that kind of baffles me with the dock - when my phones in the dock, if i try to speak commands to it, it seems it can't hear me. the phone's microphone is covered by the adapter block you slide in to lock the phone and make usb connection. i have the infuse dock, but it looks identical to the E4G-specific dock.
does anyone else have trouble speaking commands when docked? it's frustrating, it makes it much less of a hands-free experience than what i was hoping for!

Seems like most people use some form of case (thicker than the zagg)
Does anyone know of a dock like this samsung dock but able to fit a phone with a case? Alternatives (docks that work with a case) dont seem to connect automatically to the micro usb. Just wondering if anyone knows of something that will do both? Shouldn't this exist? am I way off?

What are you using for your pogo pin contacts?

Happened to come across this business card holder in the store and it holds the Galaxy Nexus perfectly. The mesh spacing is also almost the same width as the pogo connections, so I'm looking into modding this into a pogo dock.
http://www.officemax.com/office-furniture/desk-accessories-organizers/product-prod2980161
Just wondering what everyone has been using for their pogo pin contacts? I've seen mentions of guitar string, push pins, and screws from other threads here. I plan to solder the ends of the USB wires to the contact, then hot glue them in place on the holder (which also will insulate them from the mesh so I don't get any shorts).
I'm also thinking of making a slightly raised section on the right side that lines up with the power button so that I can push the phone down slightly to hit power, since I don't want the screen on constantly while in the dock.
you might want to check here for info on enabling the middle pin to get AC charge and Desk/Car mode.
As for docks, I'm using a case, so i'm going to start work this week on moding my case to make pins accessible from the outside.
Pogo pins from yokowo, lined up with the official stand/extra battery charger.
Is there anyway to get these in the US? I'm not near their 2 stores here and I don't see anything about ordering online. I'd prefer to use something like this that's actually made for it rather than have to ghetto rig something

I think ghetto rigging something is the only way to go with the pogo contacts. There arent many accessories that make use of the contacts and dont think Samsung or anyone else is going to be coming out with anything new as newer phones come out. I hope as it seems like it is an awesome way to charge the device but think you have to check out the DIY sticky thread at the top of this forum to get better ideas. GL

UART Output

Back in the days when I was more adventurous with my Infuse 4g, I put together a little project board that allows me to specify resistances between pins 4 and 5 of a Micro-B USB cable. This allowed me to force my phone into Car Dock mode, or act as a USB JIG (for Triangle-Away purposes), or even connect to the phone using UART. I have a TTL 3.3v level conversion on the other end (a nice little FTDI breakout board that provides a USB serial port), and that makes it simple to capture the output of UART while the phone boots. I’ve used this board on my Infuse, my Galaxy S2, and now my new Galaxy S4.
To get it to work this time, I had to connect the RxD, TxD, VCC and GND wires up like usual to the FTDI breakout board, but I had to attach the 619k resistance at a specific timing. Here’s the order:
Unplug battery
Attach MicroB cable to phone
Attach the 4 wires above (easy for me, with dip switches for each)
Attach battery
Start Putty
Attach 619k resistance between 4th/5th pins.
Watch the magic
Attached is the UART output from this. Many thanks to AdamOutler and his help with the previous generations of Samsung devices. Hope this somehow helps in the efforts to obtain root. Let me know if there's anything special you'd like me to try.
Just tried my jig on the S4, and it works to put the phone in download mode.

I've been trying various resistances, and I can't seem to get to an SBL prompt. I'm wondering if this is because the bootloader is locked? If anyone has different results, please let us know how you did it. (thanks)
Any way I could get someone with some wiring experience to check out what we've got going on with the Samsung Infuse car dock on this thread? Trying to figure out why the Infuse car dock worked on the Skyrocket and SIII for me personally, but not the S4 - won't put it in car dock mode and won't charge the device.... if someone knew where the wires were supposed to be run, I have a spare base with a plug on it that's not attached to the mount that I can hack up, provided this isn't something too intense for me to get involved in! I can do a good bit of customizing when it comes to cars and car electronics, but I don't have all the cool tools it sounds like some of you have!
Thanks in advance for any insight you can bring to this discussion!

I set my jig-board to 619k exactly and provided it with vcc5v and a ground, and it does not charge and does not give car dock mode at all. For older Samsung devices, I always referenced:

Here's what one of the guys from iBolt has to say about the dock, collected from two threads regarding the Infuse dock:
MikaelPe said:
The Infuse Dock can't be used with the Galaxy S4 no matter what. This has to do with the fact that Samsung has changed the pin-out configuration when moving to the "new platform" so there's no technical way (to the best of our knowledge) to get it to charge or to start the car-mode. Not sure if this helps?

MikaelPe said:
Kryptos, as you probably saw in my reply on the other thread I unfortunately think the Infuse Dock is dead. Samsung have changed both the firmware and the pin-out so it neither charges nor is the traditional car-mode present anymore. As Samsung is not building their own OEM car dock it was probably not on the "checklist" so they simply skipped integrating the functionality. We've obviously figured out a solution and we are hard at work bringing a bunch of developers with us so they make their apps compatible with our Dock. We all can benefit from not only "DockMode" (as we simply call it henceforth) and the nice "aux-out" through microUSB, that is in my opinion a much bigger deal then anything they presented as "new feature" when introducing the S4. Hope this answers helps?

So I ended up ordered the iBolt xProDock from Amazon, don't worry about replying to the PM I send you Aou since we really don't have any testing to do on the iBolt or modifying to do on the Infuse dock - it is dead and I don't think I'm prepared to even try and revive it!
Sorry to "necro" but I need more info on this. If you connect the 619K resistor before power-on won't it work? What are the settings for baudrate, error checking etc.??

[Q] Resistor value to turn car mode on?

I've learnt from xda-developer forum that a Samsung Galaxy S can be put into Car mode using a 619k resistor soldered between USB pins 4-5 (Thread URL: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=820275 ).
Now I would like to know if anyone knows this resistor value in case of the OnePlus one. Has anyone tested if 619k worked?
What I would like to achieve is that when I insert my phone into my car dock then car mode is enabled automatically. After that my future favorite car dock app would launch and would turn the bluetooth on.
Looking forward to your helping replies.
I wouldn't advice doing that. I think the best thing to do in your scenario is to put an NFC tag in the car and use something like Tasker and set it up to automatically launch your car dock and enable Bluetooth when you tap the tag.

I suspect he's really background thinking his phone would be accepted as an android device, similar to how the car system uses another android device, his samsung.
That's my guess.
Why use a resistor when you can use tasker? Or a NFC card?
Maybe he just wants to get hacky? Can't blame him, NFC is an option, sure, but so is soldering s resistor on the charger as far as I'm concerned.
Sorry I don't have your answer, but I hope you find it!

I've learnt from xda-developer forum that a Samsung Galaxy S can be put into Car mode using a 619k resistor soldered between USB pins 4-5 (Thread URL: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=820275 ).
Now I would like to know if anyone knows this resistor value in case of the OnePlus one. Has anyone tested if 619k worked?
What I would like to achieve is that when I insert my phone into my car dock then car mode is enabled automatically. After that my future favorite car dock app would launch and would turn the bluetooth on.
Looking forward to your helping replies.

Plus I wonder what value it is to enable charging and usb-otg at the same time. It was 100k Ohm on my sony xperia p.
