car holder for MDA compact III

Hello,
I wanted to get a car holder for my MDA Compact III,
do you guys recommend an air vent car holder or a windscreen mount phone holder?

Have a look at the Brodit range they do a nice holder active and passive and a number of options to hold the unit in your car. I use the Brodit and HR holders in my vehicle - have a read of http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/broditartemis.php for a few details - Mike

thanks for the reply,
is the HR one the windscreen mount phone holder?

The write up contained Brodit products, only one part was the HR holder coupled to the Brodit Pro-Clip, you can see the three pictures using the HR Holder around the text -
"The HR mount is supplied with a flexible arm and windscreen suction cup, I much prefer the Brodit Pro clip as it provides a more stable mounting solution that is vibration free."
or read my post at this link http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modul...pic&t=48131&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=51
Both Brodit and the HR units can be used with a winscreen holder or Pro clips, an edless choice of options depending on the vehicle and phone - Mike

thanks for the reply,
i am a bit confused as to how to select the car holder. i am a bit concerned as to if the car holder would fit the MDA copact III.
i checked in the t-mobile store and they are doing something for 10 pounds. the upside is if it does not fit, i can return it.
but then i be limited to a certain choice.
not sure if i should be going for something that attaches to the vents or something that sticks to the windscreen.
i came across this one
http://www.lhdigital.co.uk//product_info.php?cPath=6_127&products_id=126
is there much between two holders?

Its quite a simple choice to be honest, are you happy to entrust a cheap £10 holder from the shop that can mount a mutitude of devices or get a specific holder that has a degree of quality about it?
I have a T-Mobile generic holder and its CR*P - I certainly wouldn't use it to hold a device worth around £400 - your choice - the position is down to what suits you and the style of mount/ Pro clip available for your car - or go with the cheap offerings and take a chance - Mike

thanks for the reply mike,
i think i will go with a nice decent holder.
i looked ath the herbert rickter mount in the post, and the verdict is that it vibrates.
would it be correct to say that all windscreen mounts vibrate?
i have been using the regular tomtom on the windscreen. so i am used to that.
does a pda on the air vent enable easy viewing for navigation purposes (i guess one gets used to it)
are all the herbert richter's the screen mounts.
what is pro clip?

Well I trust my device to a £3.50 flexible windscreen mount from ebay, and it works perfectly!
I've tried vent mounts, but they are generally rubbish - but it could be my vents! I've tried magnetic ones but they don't stick to my dash - it could be my dash! So far, the windscreen one has been perfect! Although it did wiggle about a bit until I 'adjusted' it by getting it to rest against the instrument console. Not a judder out of it now! and I highly recommend it and the £36.50 saving

thanks for the reply stunno,
what is the make of your windscreen mda holder?

It was this one
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160072850929&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:UK:11
but I was mistaken about the price, sorry. It was 99p +£2.99 postage
EDIT: they are being sold by someone else now
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Air-Vent-Moun...ryZ10364QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
and the postage is only £1.99

thanks for the reply,
i went to the site and though it says that 5 are available i cant seem to be able to buy it.
i think they are all sold out. if you come across any other holders do let me know.

Search ebay for
"Air Vent Mount Suction Car Holder"
there are quite a few

I personally use a Brodit mount attached to a Dashmout bracket.
The wives Vario also uses a brodit mount but attched using a Brodit Proclip, nice and easy to install.
See attched for my car. Need a new pic with the phone attched.

[Q] Samsung Vibrant/Universal mounting kit for motorcycle.

Does anyone know of a way to mount a Vibrant to a motorcycle? I have a 2002 Honda Rebel and would love to find some sort of mounting kit to mount it just above the speedometer.

theres this thing, the Arkon mount, I'm not sure if it's big enough for the vibrant though.

google ram mounts.
They make everything to mount for bikes and they also have waterproof cases.

ProClip - custom but still disappointing vehicle mount...

Hi - just got an email from Proclip announcing their Glacier vehicle mount options (I'd emailed them previously asking if anything was coming). If you haven't seen them before, they use a 2 stage system, with custom mounts for vehicles paired with custom holders for phones. On the plus side, this means that you get a proper mount that (at least as far as my old mount for my HTC Kaiser) fits well. On the down side they are pricey.
My biggest disappointment with this one - like the T-Mobile desk dock, they've gone for USB rather than the pins for charging. Who knows - maybe they've got the tolerances right and these ones won't scratch phones, but I'm not sure I'm willing to for out $59-$79 (I already own the vehicle mount for my car) to find out. I might go for the non-powered mount which will be listed soon according to their email. It should be at least $25 cheaper going on their usual pricing schemes. Anyway, I thought I'd pass this on.

Well, that's disappointing. But so far, every accessory for this phone has been...
Thanks for the post.

Updated with the power-less mount for $35

Only thing i don't like about these is taking my phone out of it's case to use it. I have the hard plastic one with the kickstand from tmobile and love the case and the extra grip on the sides. I tried one of those new cases with the sticky back and i guess my phone was too heavy for it with the case, and it was crap, lol. Gonna have to keep looking for the perfect one.

Best non-GN car mount?

I'm looking for one in the vent or maybe some type of dash mount. I don't like the window mounts. It doesn't have to be exclusive for the GN.

I picked up one of these for mine until my proclip ships: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003XAF4YQ/ref=oh_o05_s00_i00_details
It's decent for what it is, but coming from a proclip it's a few steps down.
I also posted a review and picture up there using it in my Xterra. In the mounts defense I will say that the Xterra's layout doesn't offer much placement flexibility.

I picked up this one, per someone else's comments in this forum.. works pretty well thus far.. I have it mounted to the dash, and I can almost pull my dash apart with it.. really really strong connection and my dash isn't even remotely smooth..

depending on what you want to spend, the BEST most STABLE and secure mounts are made by RAM Mounts. You get any type of connection you want, and the nexus fits perfectly in their universal X grip.
Check them out www.ram-mount.com

RAM all the way!

I second bpowder1966's recommendation. The X-grip holds the Nexus really well, and the mounting options are really comprehensive. I'm using a window mount (which is the most secure one I've ever seen), but they have adhesive mounts, mounting plates that fit between interior trim pieces, cupholder thingies, floor mounts...

[REVIEW] iOttie car mount flex 2 (highly recommended)

Hello guys,
This is a review for the iOttie Easy Flex mount 2, for our Galaxy s3. I was looking around over the web to find a reliable car mount and finally i have found it.*
The package is pretty simple and clean. You get the actual mounter and a manual *which explaines how to correctly mount the product. As for the built quality, is pretty good and solid as well. It doesnt feel cheap at all.
Functionallity: I really love it. You can "flex it" and mount it in every position you want. Personally, i chose to put in landscape mode but as i said, you can flex it in any position possible.*
The suction cup, really sucks. From the moment you mount it securely, it stays there without any concern. Especially, its that secured mounted, that it doesnt shake when you are driving. (if you know what i mean). I have tried other chinese car mounts in the past, but they didnt satisfied me they way that IOttie Easy Flex 2 does.*
Lastly, mounting and unmounting the Galaxy s3 is very easy as well. Its the best feature about this product.
Pros:
1. best car mount for our phone
2. well built
3. no shake while driving
4. Fairly cheap for what you get
Cons:*
Nothing at all
Rating: 5/5 Solid.
Conclution: I highly recommend this product. Its one of the best accessories for our premium Galaxy s3. Do yourself a favor and grab one asap. LOVE it.
