Last year HTC showed up a bunch of accessories when they unveiled the OneX, one of them was a car holder. Till now they didn't show any pic or preview of a dedicated car holder,unless I am mistaken.
Do you have any infos?
Do you think the OneX car holder will be compatible?
Just throwing it out there.... http://www.mountek.com/
I got one of these for my previous HTC Sensation, will work with the One when I get that too. I have also used it for gps units too... Great unit.

I have one similar for my OneX but the problem is that the ''sponge'' part is too thin so with time it gave some holding traces on my OneX

Oh ok, the sponge on mine is about 4mm I think and had the cut outs for the volume button. I also use the otterbox case that helps too.

I am gonna buy the HTC D160 but I want to be sure that it will be dash mountable like the one of the OneX, I hate to use it on the windscreen
Maybe u should take a look here
Looks like it can be mounted like the one for Sensation, One X and so on.

By the look of it,the base is the same as older HTC car mounts but they only talk about windscreen.
The CAR D160’s sturdy construction with adjustable suction mount securely holds your HTC One and ensures a rock solid attachment to your windscreen, allowing you to position your phone at the optimum angle while still ensuring easy insertion and removal of the handset.
The new Car app looks awesome

EDIT: Now that I am thinking,I can use my old car holder round disk and 3M double-side tapes on the D160 in case it doesn't come with one
Here's mine,the red circle is the 3M that came with the disk,I think both holders bases use the same system so they should be compatible
Think so too, my round base for the One X Car holder is still from the one for Sensation, the round base from my one x is in mums car, holding the cardock for sensation, u see, everything totally mixed up here
Since the bases from Sensation, One X and One Car holder look pretty equal, i think it should work like we both like it.
LG, Helmut
That new car app looks good, first pic i've seen of it. Can't wait to get it!

the audio can't pass by USB ? (with special cable)
it is more convenient for plug in especially while driving

Better than USB: the AUX to BT adapter: http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/fr/p_htc_item.aspx?i=230208&phone=229814
yeah better, the phone +700 euro, the car dock 50euro and the bluetooth adapter 60euro + delivery !!

No charging
So you can't charge the phone with the official car holder?

The official htc car dock for the one ships with the car power adapter..
the power adapter has a 90° angle, so it won't be in the way

I made my own headset using the original HTC wired headset, sacrificed a pair of Creative headphones and soldered them both together.Enjoy your music with your favourite headphones, keep the soundquality and still be able to use the original controls and microphone!
Documented it all with my Desire:
1 Pair of Creative Headphones 1 HTC Desire original Headset
ht tp://i40.tinypic.com/jufhnt.jpg
Cut the headphones at the appropriate length (I made it slightly longer than the standard headset)
ht tp://i42.tinypic.com/2lu6yom.jpg
Gently pull off the 3 plastic buttons on the headset to expose the solderpoints. Pry carefully with a pair of pliers or a screwdriver to remove the plastic surroundings on each side to expose the PCB completely.

Here's the 4 solderingpoints, 1 left, 1 right and the two solderingpoints closest to the middle are ground.

The "Helping hand" with a magnifying glass comes in handy when soldering your new headset onto the control. Remember to put the isolating tape back once you've soldered on the positive wires to prevent a short-cuircuit!

I shall be replicating this tonight, thanks!
@Rob Pomeroy Thanks for helping out.
Glad it might come to any use =)
Thanks for that, was thinking of doing something similar myself but adding an in-line socket so I can plug in replacement headphones.
Si
Brilliant job, if I didn't have the dexterity of a blind, club fisted gorilla wearing boxing gloves, I'd be doing this my self. Somebody could make a tidy sum offering to do this kind of service for people such as myself.... I cannot understand why HTC didn't offer the original headphones with a 3.5MM socket...
Nice work!! I remember I did that in good old 2004 with my Jens-Of-Sweden mp3 player. It had a brilliant around-the-neck headset with horrible earphones, so I have soldered my Sony MDR-EX71's on it
...however, I have been soldering the ear-buds directly onto the cable as the contacts on them are situated a bit farther apart.
Luckily I have a spare HTC headset so I technically have two attempts to reproduce the work above
thanks, i'll be trying this out!
for those who don't dare, htc an official version of this that you can put your own headphones in for about £25

After finally finding a nice small 3.5mm inline socket I've modded mine
Si
what about the mic?
Nice
I was going to do this too, I have two headsets (hero and desire) and I'm an Engineer so the soldering is no problem.
The only reason I havn't is that my expensive Sony earbuds have a single piece wire (not detachable near the earbud end.) So there is no way I could have the microphone near my mouth with another 1.8M of cable handing off (by making the Socket version)
That being said, I'd much prefer if someone could just write a program/service that would let me skip tracks back and forward by double tap or tap and hold on the volume buttons.
That only lets you pause music, not advance/repeat though
Considering the Incredible's Car Mount wasn't great... any ideas on good car mounts for the Thunderbolt? I figure there should be plenty of options out there because it has the same form factor/size as the Desire HD and Evo.
I'm looking for something easy... maybe two magnets, attach one to the back piece of a two-piece case and use it to attach it to a magnet stuck onto your car's dashboard? Anyone have a setup like this currently?

I loved my OG Droid car mount, which broke recently. I used a Dremel tool to cut a hole for the camera and it worked great. I hope the car mount can move as freely as the Droid mount did. Really hoping for a desktop dock, too.

Was the car mount an HTC product or a generic one that would work? Can you tell me the cost? I just picked up the TBolt but my store didn't have anything so just wondering what my options are.
Car mount is made by HTC and is $29.99 retail at any Verizon store or online at vzw.com

If motorola didn't happen to patent their magnet method that they used on their droid models, I would assume it would be a similar, if not the same method...
I think the magnet is standard, my htc eris, and fascinate worked by magnents
A general observation, here - if you want a bodaciously well built mount, look at Ram-mount . I have one in my Civic with two heads I can swap - 1 for iPad, one universal cell/pda.
Not cheap, in construction OR price...

I like and will keep the HTC Car dock. It suits my needs and is car to car transferrable.

I had no idea the Eris or Fascinate had magnetic switches or any way of knowing they were docked automatically.
I know the HTC Incredible has no magnetic switching or anyway of knowing its docked, basically there isn't an automatic dock mode on the Incredible at all.

No,, it seemed to dock fine. Make sure you snap it behind the top overlap piece. I was very pleased that it did not cover the camera and the it has the usb mount. Charging the OG Droid while in the dock was a real pain. I shot some video with it docked this AM and it performed fine. The road was not real smooth so it picked up the bumps, but it beats me trying to hold it.
I can second and third the HTC dock is awesome. I'm coming from an original, then v2 droid dock.
There are a couple of things though.
1. You really have to jam the phone on the right side(by the usb) in the dock to get car dock to come up. Its super tight. You'll actually hear a click once you get it in far enough.
2. You can't get back into car mode if you exit out without redocking.
3. You can't dock the phone if you have any cases and such.
4. I can't seem to change any of the icon choices they give you. I'd much prefer a more "stock" car/home experience. There are a couple other minor annoyances I have with the "dock" program they use in general but it does work well.
Verizon has a car mount just like the OG Droid, it automatically turns the phone into a navigation, it only cost 30, I saw it yesterday, it has the magnets.
I might like a car dock if it fit my phone with the innocase on it.
I use my Thunderbolt for GPS a lot. I love the sturdy car dock that HTC sells for it. Any word of a car doc for the Nexus?
Also, surprisingly, one of the things I find very useful on the Thunderbolt is the flip out stand. I thought this was a gimmick but find myself using it frequently. Would I need to buy a case to get this on a Nexus?
I'll just make another DIY one as per my GSII and Desire ones. I have a guide on LifeHacker which was posted a few times on this forum
There's going to be an official car dock from Samsung. MSRP is $49. It will take advantage of the dock connector on the side of the device. So you should expect to keep your phone in landscape mode.

Yes, the dock connector (micro USB) for the Thunderbolt is on the side also. There's nothing inherent in a side connector that sets orientation to landscape. Generally car mounts allow rotation in portrait or landscape.

The dock connector I'm speaking of is not the microusb port. It's 3 contacts used for specific accessories. The links posted above show how you'll always be in landscape.
I can't help it but I love all the docks. I always get the car and desk dock for all my phones. I use my phone daily as my alarm clock and like the desk dock to see the time, and car dock for gps/music. I assume they will have both, seems like a staple now adays.

Well that's all you need in a car dock. I don't use the usb/hdmi plugs on my X, but I could understand people would be bit put off if they can't use them in the home dock.
What I really want is inductive charging support. Then a car mount with inductive charging so I'd never have to a car specific mount again.
Two pins are for charging and the third tells it which dock mode to go into (at least this is how it was on the N1 and the MyTouch 4G). If the middle pin is grounded it's a desk dock, and if it's around 3.3v it goes into car dock mode. It was also suspected that a signal was sent over that middle pin to tell it which bluetooth device to pair to for audio.
On the N1 car dock, there was no audio out, but it had speakers built in. The desk dock did have 3.5mm audio out. In both cases a connection was made via bluetooth (automatically) to transmit the signal. Now that NFC is available, I'm curious if they'll change some of this.
Looking forward to getting a good quality car dock to go with this phone.

Can't keep it in landscape as I assume once again in ICS there'll be no in call landscape mode. Really hate that lack of option.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
It would be odd not to have a landscape call orientation since the dock pins are on the side making it a landscape dock.
Odd or not it's never been possible in Android except for a few custom mods here and there.
Really annoys me as well, just seems like a simple oversight.

No audio out for these docks? Am I the only one that likes to dock my phone and also have it play music?
I had that option with the Atrix, until the cable split. Then I couldn't find a replacement cable anywhere. Full-size USB, mini-USB and 3.5mm audio. I need this three-pronged cable!

What HideYoKids said, I'm also surprised of the lack of interest for a line-out from those docks, line-out sounds a lot better than bluetooth streaming! Is there an MHL accessory that can charge and give an audio line-out via 3.5mm cable? I can do without the charging as well, anyone?

This car kit also features a plug-in port for charging your HTC One X while docked using a standard micro-USB cable.
Using the included mounting hardware, this car kit can be easily and quickly installed on your car windshield or dashboard.
and on htc.uk http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=230298&phone=229814 £44.99
on Polish HTC 199pln (with VAT) ~48euro

Looks nice but £45!?! That's way too much in my eyes, you can buy a complete sat nav unit for that money. I think I'll wait till its released and cheaper options are available on fleabay
You sure these car adaptors are made to use the 5-pin connector already?
Because all the car adaptors I saw till now still used the micro usb port to connect.
Also most pictures on those sites don't show the real item.
Another Carholder for One X from CarComm (in Dutch):
http://www.carcomm.nl/producten/PDA-Smartphone/Active-Cradles/HTC/One-X/?details
that looks rough. the official htc one looks good as it uses the micro pins and saves fiddling - but I agree - its very overpriced. We need a chinese knock off.
The Desire & Desire S equivalents were also vastly over-priced beasts. Never understood their reasoning for the high price. Those suction cup grips also have a habit of letting go in hot weather when you turn a corner.
As my old stock fitted car stereo has no line-in, I'd be more inclined to keep my universal holder (it MAY cope with the size of the One X) and it'd be money better spent on something like this...
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Satechi-Soundfly-Ultimate-Bluetooth-Transmitter/dp/B001DDE4VY
It'd certainly give me something to do with my now redundant 32GB Class10 SD card!
Anyone seen a decent "active" kit yet?
Official "passive" HTC one looks ok but im so anal about wires running over my dash into the car charger. Need an active kit that I can run behind my dash into the car battery, an aux out would be nice too to run into the stereo.
So anyone got one of these? I plan on getting one when I get the phone, some reviews would be nice.

Personally, I'm not going to waste £45 odd on a phone dock for my car. I've bought 2 Brodit car docks for two different phones in the past and I never use a phone for more than a year. It just feels like I'm flushing money down the drain.
Wait for 2-3 weeks and will see many cheap chinese car cradles on eBay. For example, Kidigi is not bad, used it with my old Desire for an year.
Yeah I like the look of the Kidigi holders and they're about half the price of the official HTC one. It would be nice if the Kidigi ones have the dock pin connectors for the One X.
Today as Kidigi customer I've received an email stating that they would show new products including One X holders and cradles this Friday at the Hong Kong Electronics Fair 2012.
I don't know about car holders but here is pic of desktop HDMI cradle:
Why are there 2 different care holders with the number DC110?
I think that only the lowest one is the right one. Maybe the first one is for an other phone.
I always use the brodit holders.
I had the holder from my razr,and the one x fits perfect.

I just ordered one from HTC Accessories store AU - http://htcaccessories.com.au/HTC_One_X_Car_Kit.aspx
should arrive by the end of the week.

Let us know what it really looks like, i've seen like 5 versions of this thing
I would also like to know if the usb connector can be attached permanently.
This is the first car holder for the S III to have an integrated charger, instead of just being bundled with a separate charger. It's called the iBolt.

Anyone else tried one of these?
Haven't tried one but will be checking when I get home if they will ship to Australia 100% what I've been looking for! A big thanks for posting this

Cool idea. Dumb name since this has nothing to do with iDevices.
You still have to route a wire to it (given) and grab their plug and put it in the hole of the phone.. unlike the infuse dock.
How different is that then just zip tying a charging cable to a regular dock?
They do ship to Australia!

Well, it'd be cleaner for a start and it also includes auxiliary out
the one shown here has a aux out on it also.

here is a video from the mfg

This dock will work great for me. I cant wait to get one. Im waiting to see what amazons price will be on this.
Looks great, especially if it has the aux. out. My questions would be:
1. Will it initiate "dock mode" on your phone when you plug it in, or is that only available when you have a Samsung branded car dock?
2. Is there a way to (easily) mount it to the ProClip mounting platforms? (I've already got one in my car, so it would be cool to somehow tie into that)

The product description from one of the above links states that it does automatically start car/dock mode when plugged in. Obviously I can't confirm that but it sounds like it should do the job. Not sure about the ProClip factor.
What is that aux out line quality? Poor like Infuse 4G? Flat and no bass?

I watched the video and yes, it goes into car mode. I think I'm going to purchase one right now. The one cable is nice. I hate spending $40 on a mount, but this looks worth it to me and normally when you spend $10 on something you get $10 worth of crap.
Not bad, but I'd just go with the Infuse dock. The build quality is really nice and you can get it cheap from AT&T when it's in stock.
The infuse dock is not made for the s3. I like a good quality car dock as I have one now with my photon. That was one thing lacking with the s3. I would like to try out the aux as the s3 I believe has real aux out of the USB. I also have on order for the Samsung hs3000 BT adapter to use for audio out.
See, I never understood the sideways orientation for GPS. It seems to me that you'd want to see more of the road ahead of you, not more of the empty space on the sides of the road. Also, why do manufacturers name all their accessories iSomething? I really don't get why you'd make an accessory for a non-iPhone and call it iSomething. Is it just me, or am I the crazy one?
Why do you need a separate aux out port when you can just plug in to the headphone jack?
Bevause you can leave the aux port always connected, and not have to unplug it every time you remove your phone. Nice when you have to make frequent stops.

on vertical vs horizontal:
vertical is handy if you are on the highway, and want to see the turns coming sooner.
horizontal is better in the city, so you can see the next turns after the next turns, and side streets.
(I like to be able to switch it up)
on the iThing nomenclature... iAnything is silly, unless it is for the iPhone, but it is all marketing. When trying to sell to sheeple (normal non-techie folk) iName sounds like it is high tech, and easy to use. To techie people it sounds silly.

I am also interested that real aux out. If sound quality is good includes also bass. I bought one too.

Ahh good point! I never thought of that. I guess I never really use the dock except for on long trips anyways. I don't like leaving the dock attached to the dash so it's not really worth it for me to setup the dock for every single trip.
Thanks for posting this. This car dock is perfect for my needs.
Verizon sells these
