Hello all. A friend of mine developed this new car dock for the Note 3, Galaxy S3, and Galaxy S4. I was lucky enough to get an advanced copy for my GS3 and found it to be the best dock I have ever used. I purchased one for my Note 3 and I did an unboxing. Please give it a look. Thanks

Nice. I want a wireless option. That doesn't look bad at all. Thanks for the heads up man

Sorry but the thread title is misleading. This isnt wireless charging, Looks like there are two pins on the docks that link to the case. As the case seems to use the wireless charging points on the phone it would mean I couldnt use the QI receiver Ive added. There's no mention of wireless changing on the actual site .
Also dont like the window mount as its way too short. I woudlnt be able to reach the phone or it would have to be stuck at the top of the windscreen. Never found a vent mount that doesnt sag yet either.
Think Ill stick to the Brodit mount, an adapter plate and a generic QI charger from amazon.

If you want a real wireless charging car mount that is qi, then these would be your best bets: http://smile.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb...as=aps&field-keywords=wireless charging mount
seems to have a lot of good reviews for most of them.
sure.. there are plenty of new wireless charging docks on kickstarter... if you want to wait however long it takes for the kickstarter to end + the time it takes to ship it as opposed to getting it by next week.........

They are now listed available to order and will ship in three days, 1/23.

http://www.mycellworld.com/Samsung-OEM-Vehicle-Navigation-Mount-P182792874-P93056.htm
They both only list compatibility with the i515 so I wonder if they will work all the same with the i9250.
The car dock (second link) is the same one that's been on Samsung's website for a while:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ECS-K1F8BEGSTA
It DOES NOT have the pins for use on the side of the Nexus.
I'm looking for one that does have the pins so I don't have to unplug everything when I want to take the phone in and out of the dock.
The description for the car dock says you can plug your car charger directly to the mount. I'm so confused. I just want the pins...
Honestly I'd be happy just to use the desktop dock in my car. Double sided Velcro and stick it right to my dash. It's what I do with the car dock anyways (using the disk thing it comes with) and there's no annoying suction cup to worry about when the temperature drops. Plus it's lower profile and much easier to drop the phone in and out of. Especially when the suction doesn't want to play along.
I posted this mainly because I hadn't seen the multimedia dock available yet anywhere else, I just included the car dock link in case someone wanted both.
Seriously? $64.95 for a piece of plastic with USB headphone jacks wired to the prongs. Did Samsung subcontract this out to Monster Cables? Nice to be able to insert/remove phone wihout plugging/unplugging, but pricing is obscene.
Yes I made a thread asking about this about a week ago about a 3 pin charging cradle. Its finally coming out! .....and then I seen the price of the damn thing -.-

That is exactly the same thing I first noticed. As much as I want a dock for my phone there is no way I am going to spend 65 bucks on it plus another 10 dollars or so on shipping the stupid thing to me.
but does the official pogo pin car dock support VZW models?
i don't think it was made for the vzw models.

and why would you say its the old crappy version? just the price? the picture and discrption are of the good one. part number is even different although that could be their internal cataloging number. still no evidence of this being the old verizon model.
as for the price on the desktop dock, i'm assuming it has to do with the internals. has an hdmi output while only physicly connecting to the phone via 3-prong connector. supposedly the car dock sends audio to the mount via bluetooth and the mount is able to give you the aux output line from there. wondering if it is sending data to the home version the same way.
Well I know its no iPhone 4s in terms of volume, but how hard would it be to be for an aftermarket company to make a car cradle that works with pogo connectors? All you have to do is have raised spring loaded prongs so that it would work with a tpu case.

Desktop dock is pretty awesome, but a little too pricey. Nice find
The description of the desk dock looks pretty off. That thing DOES NOT have an HDMI port unless it comes with an extra wire to hook into the micro USB port.

Try to find two DV casette cases and make this: http://imgur.com/a/wruWi#0 I'm going to add in Micro USB to HDMI® MHL Adapter soon to the bottom case and boom you've got yourself a media dock for less than $12.
guys did you think about one issue,that power button is at the same side as 3 gold pins ?? so inserted without root it would be pretty useless

Hi All,
I was searching for USB Dock for Note and found THIS on eBay.
for only $6.78 + Free Shipping :laugh:
I saw many of THE SAME docks going for $19.99 - $24.99 on eBay and Amazon,So this is definitely a good Deal IMO.
One Another Good thing is Economy International Shipping is also cheap on this.
only $1.99 to INDIA in my case. So gifted one to my buddy!!!
I dont know if I plug in MHL cable in back and use it as HDMI Dock
That would be awesome
-----------------------------------------------What Works and What Dose not------------------------------------------------
1. MHL Cable : NO (You can not connect MHL cable behind the Dock to do HDMI out )
2. Data X'fer : YES (You can simply attach your data cable to Computer to Transfer files to/from Phone)
3. USB OTG : ??? (Dont know why anybody would do this but i will check it tonight see if it works!)

Thnx.
I ordered one of these to station on my bedside cabinet, so my note would act as a nice alarm clock. The unit is reasonably solid, but feels a little unstable out of the box (it wants to tip over backwards if placed on a less than solid surface, e.g. carpet)). However, once you plug your power cable into it this seems to help with the stability due to the location of the socket.
The unit itself has a very subtle light on the top, like a thin white crescent, to show when the unit is powered, and the contour of the aperture fits the Note's body perfectly. In fact, it holds it incredibly tightly, so I have no risk of accidentally knocking the note out of the cradle during a particularly robust "bedroom gymnastics" session with Mrs RTR, if you get my drift.
All in all, I'm more than happy with mine.
I tried a few different docks, but ultimately decided to go dock-free, simply because these docks are pretty much only usable with the Note naked, whereas I prefer leaving my Note in its case 24-7.

I don't blame you.
But I almost never use any phone with cases. I sure buy couple but like after week or two stop using them.They make them phones thick.
But I recently dropped my note , and it has scratch/ding . So back to case till the dock arrives.

There are some docks now appearing which have removable rubber inserts which claim to accommodate the Note with a Gel/TPU case, e.g.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Desktop-C...-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-i9220-AC32-/170817592805
Anybody tried one?
Thanks.
BTW I offered the seller 5.99 ea. for two,he gave me $6.49 for TWO.
So try offering him lower price. not a huge saving but hey dosent hurt to try!

Looks like .. let us know your review once you get it and i will give it a thought .. (am also in India)
Just read the description on the eBay page and looks like it ships only with the cradle and no cable included ...
MHL dont work!
Well apparently, this dock is only good for charging / desk clock only.
you can not use MHL cable behind the dock and HDMI out.
It doses charges via MHL cable but dose not do HDMI out.
I know tht part sucks the most, but that is what it is.

I have the same one from deal extreme. The dock was a little snug at first, but has loosened to a great fit. I've been using my phone as an alarm clock for a long time now and I can finally see the dang thing without picking it up now. Only thing I wish it had was a home button on the base so I could wake the phone without pushing it back. Overall I'm very happy for $12 shipped.
i like it, but can't buy, because i'm living in vn, so......

Hello,
Can someone confirm the measures on the new Nexus Wireless Charger. The information I have says 60 mm X 60 mm X 12.5 mm.
If thats true, it shouldn't be too hard to fit it inside this:
*Edit* Cant post links as a new member. Its the Brodit/ProClip for Nexus 5. */Edit*
Since I already have ProClip in my car, i figure it Could be an easy mod to get wireless charging in the car.
Anyone sees any difficulties?

I don't have mine with me, since it's in my car, but that sounds right. It's perfectly square and my N5 hangs over by several mm on each side, so width-wise, it should fit no problem. However, 12mm is an awful lot depth-wise. I know there's a gap with that mount, but some of that is due to the curve of the mount. Is there really 12+mm of gap? If so, then it should be fairly easy. You'd probably need to use some sort of adhesive, such as double-sided tape though, because those magnets on that charger are hella strong, and the charger is likely to come out when you remove the phone otherwise.
I use this charger in my car too, but it's just setting in the center console, so it's not mounted per se. Having the phone tucked away in the console (not visible) was fine for my purposes.
Thanks!
I got the technical drawing from Brodit, the gap is 65mm x 9.5mm. So I have to sand it down a little, but the cradle is going to be semi - permanent so I'll probably fix the charger and use Bondo to achieve a nice finish.

Hello,
I'm still in Thailand on vacation so nothing has happened yet, but I'm back at home soon.
But, since I posted this I figured : what's the difference between having a mount with a fixed Qi - charger instead of just buying the Brodit Active charger? You still have to have the cable all the way. And the way the Brodit Active charger mount works you just slide your phone in and it's charging.
Do you see any real advantages to having the Qi - mount solution?

Simplicity - the same reason I liked pogo-plug charging and use a Qi desk charger. I don't have to faff about fitting the phone into the charger - just drop it into place and it charges.

It was not made by lg, it was just some random accessory that caught fire.
To the op, your best bet is to find a mount with a flat surface that you can affix the charger to. At the suggestion of someone in the car mount thread I just picked up this one to use with the nexus charger, but this should work for you too. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00178RDZ4/ref=oh_details_o07_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
@kellybrf, Never realized it wasn't made by them. Came in an LG box and everything. So much work on their part to make it look legit. I didn't care who made it. Anyway, got a picture of that setup? That link you provided just looks like the same old suctioncup section has have been around forever. Anything I'd do would look like I just slapped a charger to a generic car mount.

I got this one from Amazon. My wife suggested it and I was a little suspicious because it was significantly cheaper than the ones I saw recommended. Everytime I use it I'm reminded of why I married her . Doesn't feel cheap at all and keeps the phone VERY secure. I would 1000% recommend. The only thing I would add is that if you are going to mount it high on the dash or from a window, make sure your charger is long enough to reach it because it's not a wireless charging mount.
