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:
http://www.pro-fit-intl.com/shopholders.htm
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.

AT&T seem to have the car dock at $39 in stock on their online store.

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.

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.

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.

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).
Can anyone recommend a good vehicle mount for this phone? I would like to get one that will fit with a slim case.

I got mine from ProClipUSA. Not sure if it'll allow for a thin case, but the holder is great. Especially because the mount and phone holder are separate components, so if you get a new phone, you can just swap out the holder

same here! i had the s3 one too. i ordered this one ahead of time and i tested my friends t-mobile note 2 in it. for now it holds my s3
any chance any of these vehicle mounts come with micro-usb charging built in?
I'll be making the jump to the GN2 on Friday, however my current car mount for my Atrix has a Micro USB connector built in (stock moto car mount) so I don't have to plug the phone in manually when I get in the car, nor unplug when I get out.
i have the Exogear mount and it has worked really well for my note 1. My note 2 comes in this week, but since its not as wide, i know it wont be a issue even with the case. http://www.amazon.com/Exogear-Exomo...092825&sr=8-12&keywords=car+mount+galaxy+note Kind of nice having a universal mount so you dont have to keep buying a new one every time you get a different phone.
Isn't there an official one?

This is sadly just a mount. What I'm seeking is a Car Dock that includes charging, audio, USB for flash Media.
Something that has a mount and supports features like: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EDD-S20JWEGSTA
Ok, without the HDMI. This desktop dock has charging, powered OTG USB ports, Audio & HDMI outputs.
Is there no Car Dock with similar capability?

Currently using the Samsung Car Mount for my Note, hoping Samsung will release a similar one for the Note 2. My Note goes into Car Mode once its in the dock, but it has to be naked.

I see now why it won't work with the SGN2 and why your Note must be naked. I hope Sammy will make one for Note2 and give some tolerance for a case. It is interesting there isn't one yet.

In landscape with my note1, i had to add some of the little felt pads that you would use with furniture to get a tight fit. Depending on the case, you may not have to do this. I have it in a 04 gto and so far it works well.

Hello ,
Can someone who has a 10.1 2014 tablet and a multimedia dock have a look at my thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48448035&postcount=3 and please confirm to me, whether the tablet fits into this dock and works perfectly , because the dock is primarily meant for GNII/III and S3/4 .
Thanks for your quick answers.
I have the Samsung smart dock the was originally marketed for a note2. This tablet doesn't even acknowledge it as a power source.

Ok sounds strange. The note 2 and 3 and this tablet all have....supposedly the 11 pin micro usb connector. The links I have mentioned in my post have the dock which is advertised to work with note 2/3 , so it still remains a mystery of whether it will work....secretly I am hoping it should...
Just need some more confirmation from other users as well.

The Note II uses a 5v charger and the 10.1 uses a 5.3V. That could be the difference.

Well seems like there is mixed response in making sure that a S4/N2/N3 multimedia dock will work with N 10.1 2014 or not.
The OEM Samsung dock mentioned, is barely just a charger with audio out function, not a true multimedia dock like I have mentioned in my first post, which effectively i wanna marry with the 10.1 2014 to make it a productivity workstation.
Anyways seems like I have to get one true multimedia dock in hand and keep checking it around with display and demo unit to know.
By that time keep pouring in with your results and suggestions if you come across any other dock for this beast.
Thanks for your replies.

The unit will charge through one of the USB connections using a cable, but will not do anything through the main connector.
Oh, and your mileage may vary, I just noticed your Note is a 605 and mine is a 600 ... I doubt that will make a difference, but you never know.
I bought one for the S4 with broken screen, so I'll report back
It does not work.
