Are there any wireless car mounts out there that will quick charge the P3XL? I currently use an Ottie mount with the sticky suction cup (love it) for my soon to be retired Nexus 6P.
PS got the shipping notification this afternoon!
I recently purchased the "[10W Fast Charge] Nillkin 2-in-1 Qi Wireless Charging Pad & Magnetic Car Mount Air Vent Holder" on Amazon. With normal car mounts, you install a metallic plate to grab onto. This one uses an X plate with the magnets on the ends of the X points. This keeps it from blocking the charging. I should know if it really works on Friday when my phone shows up.

I have a 2013 Civic Si and a 2013 Elantra. Both cars have a lower power outlet. I have seen car docks that basically plug into this and convert the power outlet to micro USB so I can just drop in my phone to charge and use it for music/GPS as I drive. Can someone guide me in the direction of one on Amazon?

I'm a huge fan of Arkon Slim Grip mount, reviewed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2174449
What is cool, you can use it with any phone up to Note 3 size (and of course your S4) and any 7"/8" tablets. Plus, it uses universal ball joint connection on the back. Which means you can use it with included sticky suction mount for dashboard or windshield, AND get Arkon light socket mount like this: http://www.amazon.com/Arkon-Universal-Lighter-Socket-Smartphones/dp/B002IVU3I8/ or like this: http://www.amazon.com/Arkon-GN097-Lighter-Socket-Garmin/dp/B000BP8GQO/ which is going to set you as an extra mounting option for under $10. Been using Arkon stuff for many years with my Droid X, Note 2, and Nexus 7 - top quality.
Btw, you will need to get car charger for that for micro-usb output. Or perhaps if you get their latest IntelliGrip one (which is Slim Grip Ultra with NFC built in chip) - it also comes with car charger: http://www.amazon.com/ARKON-NFCSM02-Programmable-Powered-Dock/dp/B00E5QAM58/
Is this asking too much of a nexus 5 accessory? Is it out there, somewhere? I like my car's air dock, I like my home's qi stand, so I'd like to know is there a best of both worlds?
Not quite sure what you are asking about here, but I have 2 Nexus Qi chargers, one for home and one for my car. I use the LG QuickCover for Nexus 5 that will stick to the magnets of the charger without a phone in it. The charger in my car is mounted at an angle on my dash so I can use it for sat-nav. Perfect setup in my view.
I'm looking to buy a new car mount for my Galaxy S8+. Currently I have a 5 year old Brodit car mount that can be flexible in size, but the downside is that it's very shaky and loose.
I've been looking into the force touch charger car mount from Mophie because of the magnetic attachment, but it can only be used with their battery case and I don't need such a bulky case.
Can any of you recommend a good car mount?
I had an iBolt mPro I was using with my previous phone and it worked pretty solid. I just ordered the cPro (which has the USB-C connector built in) and I'll let you know how it works out.
I like the iottie holders since you can put it in and take it out with one hand. However i'm looking at this new one which also includes wireless charging while in the holder.

What do you mean by new? Seems to have come out in 2015 .. I'm also thinking about purchasing but seems old for a couple month old phone. Has anyone tried it? I'm hoping to be able to charge while the phone is in use. I have a 1.5 amp USB in the car which I hope is enough.

You can get a fast charger though I've noticed mine is sensitive to heat, doesn't take much for it to start slowing down charging (and warning you about it)
If you are looking for magnetic attachment, I suggest you look at xvida magnetic mounts. They offer a magnetized cover for S8 which would allow you to use their regular magnetic car docks as well as their line of qi car docks. I've tested their cases for S7 edge & charging desk stand and charging vent mount and they work great. Slight overheating with the car docks though, which can be expected but like I said, they have various standard magnetic car docks if that's a concern. No problems with overheating with their desk charger if you are on the market for a charging stand as well.
HANDS DOWN the best case/mount combo is made by Evutec. The cases themselves are precisely cut and essentially indestructible, all while containing a thin metal insert to work with their vent mount (make sure you get one that comes with the mount). Theyre relatively inexpensive on Amazon for the quality of case you get. They typically only make iPhone cases, but fortunately make them for the S8 and S8+.
The only caveat is that they don't play nice with wireless charging. I guess this could be a big downside for people that love the wireless charging, but I charge by a cable and don't own a wireless charge pad so its all good.

Thank you so much! It was something like that I was looking for. Magnetic attachment and fast qi charging!
Can anyone recommend a magnetic car mount with wireless charging? Or are they all crap?
No Chance
Magnetic field from wireless charger will interfere with metal for magnetic holder and heat up battery
How's that?
Metal part will heat up from magnetic field like I said before and mess your battery
You may try but it's science
So you're saying that any magnetic mount at all will be bad because it will heat the phone up?
Yes, it may be some specially design but I wouldn't trust them.I am electrician and 1 time i try wireless charger with my magnetic holder just to see what gonna happen and it was heat up and stop charging in 20 min?
What brand was that one, if you don't mind my asking?
I don't think that the problem is all magnetic mounts, since I used one for 2 solid years with no problems. It could be the combination of magnetic & wireless, or it could just be that particular charger.
Anyone else have experience with a wireless/magnetic combo?
This is what I meant combunation of metal piece from magnetic mount and wireless charger
Charger was Samsung , mount from https://www.proclipusa.com/product-finder/vehicle/dashboard-mounts/volkswagen/passat?p_leftorright=0
Check out Pitaka. Their case has 2 circular shaped metal discs embedded. So it'll work with their magnetic mount as well as any wireless charger. They now have a magnetic QI charger too. *Note, the case only works with their magnetic mount, but it's like $10 a pop (I got it when it first came out, it was like $5 or so).
Source: I have one (and 4 magnetic mounts between 3 cars) and charge almost exclusively with a cheap wireless charger off of amazon.
Or, try this charger (or one of these types): https://de.aliexpress.com/item/360-...-eced-4b21-809c-1152db4cb6da&rmStoreLevelAB=0
I have that and it holds and charges my S8+ and my previous S7Edge very good without any need of installing a metal plate. It seems that Samsung has enough metal built inside the case, that the phones stick to the charger.

Do these still allow wireless charging? I am a total wireless charging user and am looking for something, preferably magnetic that still allows wireless charging.

I use this one but you'll have to charge with a cable or get a cradle that does wireless charging.

I bought this one and have it mounted on my dash currently. It works but getting the device in and out is a PITA. Does not have wireless charging so I use a car charger and cable and plug it into the AUX for the car with the splitter

Anyone find one with the cup holder
I bought car and driver and then supplemented the cradle with a headrest tablet 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.
