Brodit Passive Holder and Windshield Mount for the USA?
I'm looking for the Brodit passive holder for the JasJar and a compatible windshield mount with an adjustable goose-neck, I'm in the US. www.proclipusa.com doesn't appear to carry either, although I understand they are the US distributor.
Anyone, any ideas where I can get these?

I am looking for one in the USA as well. Proclip USA claims that they will have the Passive holder soon, but haven't gotten a definitive answer from them. None of the UK shops appear to be able to ship outside of the US, so I guess we are stuck waiting for Proclip USA to get them. Because the Jasjar is not really a USA device, I'm sure they are not in any hurry to get them in.

Heh heh, nice find!!

So how does this clip function.
Do you slide the Universal in, or do you kind of clip it in.
Is the power cord attached to the clip and you just slide it down in to the usb port, or is the wire just dangling all over the place when it's not connected.
I hate multi action holders and dont want something where i have to use both hands and a foot to get it in place.
I go in and out of my car many times a day, so it should be easy and without hassle.
I can live with the fact that i have to use a BT GPS, even though i love my BA holder having the GPS integrated, ooohh and what other choises are there out there.....none :?

Like you, bosjo, I've become accustomed to having my bluetooth GPS receiver powered via a wired link to my old M2000 active cradle. Having juice supplied to both M2000 and BT GPS meant I could never get lost.
I'm hoping in due course these Brodit M5000 cradles will also allow power to be supplied to BT GPS otherwise it's going to be a mess of wires in my car!

Damn it twonk - JUST ordered my clip and active holder and then read this post....stupid stupid me.
Anyway - was only £2 more.
The cheapest Brodit ProClip I could find was http://www.carkitonline.co.uk
£17.12 total (13.62 on its own) so pretty good!

CarKitOnline have got O2 Exec holders in and is actually cheaper than HandNav - you need to phone them because the phone is not listed on the website yet.

Coming up to three weeks now waiting for my active holder from mobilefun
Avoid like the black death in my personal opinion

Why dont you just call them and ask them what their problem is. Did they mention that the delivery time is less than that? I am sure ordering from Brodit direct would have been much better.

Yeah they do seem a bit unresponsive...they sent me out a screen protector and a cigarette adapter within a day but my leather case and brodit holder is still 'out of stock'. I phoned them and they gave me a date of 18th...so try phoning them and they will tell you when more stock is coming in.
IN the end i cancelled my brodit holder from them and brought it from handnav (who were supplying the clip anyway) for cheaper .
Still waiting for the leather case though..........
Unversaldoc - how much is the brodit holder direct from them? Surely they will charge more!!

They keep saying stock is arriving, that date comes and no stock, same again this morning, think i was told new stock was coming on 16th Dec and another lot coming 19th Dec so i should definitely have it before the 21st.
Best bit is you pay postage for 2-3 day delivery muuuhaaahaaha
Trouble is the wifes bought me it on her plastic as a stocking filler so i dont want to bug her for her card again, you know how they growl

Hi All,
I sell the Brodit kits and know that Brodit had a severe quality control issue with the charging leads on the active charging cradles, which meant they had to go back to the drawing board and get new leads shipped in from their supplier, hence long delays.
I still have stocks of the all Xda Brodit ranges inc. the Exec in stock if anyone is interested. Please PM me.
Seems a shame that no one told you all of the delay though.

@Cut,
Costs around £60 for the holder and the pro-clip not including delivery costs. I agree, they are expensive compared to the other resellers but they are dependable and have fantastic support. Personally, i wouldn't mind paying the extra £10 just for the quality of support and feedback

Brodit Holder

Any news on Brodit holders for the Galaxy S2?
Can't seem to find anything on DSL Developments (who I normally use). Timescales? or are we still looking at weeks yet. Might have to find a temporary alternative in the short term.

Why not email [email protected]? They are usually very helpful.

I'm using the passive HTC HD2 cradle. It's fits perfect at the bottom but a little bit of movement at the top where the phone is thinner. It's not loose enough it rattles or moves when you touch the screen. Volume and power buttons aren't blocked.
Might be easier and cheaper to find a used or new HD2 holder.
There may even be enough space to add a very thin skin, which is what I'll add if I can find a nice one.

Thanks will look into it.

Great to know, I currently have a HD2 with Brodit passive holder, and will receive my Galaxy S II tomorrow
I'll see if it's the same for me too...

I have an adjustable iPhone 3GS passive Brodit mount (it expands to use with gel type cases). I have a cheapo gel case on my SGII and it works fine, solid as a rock.

Okay so here's what I've done: on each side of my passive holder, I've put a few centimeters of black adhesive tape. It's the kind of heavy one, which you can buy in a hardware store...
Now the Galaxy S 2 is completely stable in a HD2 Brodit passive holder!

Nice tip there. However, I might pick up one the offical cases from P4U this week. It looks like there may be enough room for the phone to fit the holder with the case on.

Okay thanks for the information. However it's not in stock, it says:
"Please note: This product is expected to be in stock in the UK week commencing 30th May and is available on Pre-order basis. Demand will be very high, order yours today to secure this item."
So it is in line with what dsldevelopments have told me

Looks like I didn't spot that. Oh well, I won't hold my breath then.

Just to let you know, on Friday dsldevelopments has shipped my brodit passive holder, I should get it this week

I installed my Brodit SII-holder last Saturday. Fits perfectly. I had it pre-ordered to be one of the first to have it
I have the passive one, I use separate wires for power-in and audio-out.
I have decided to use it with a Kuda console, because that looks better in my car.
Now all I need to do is fill my SD-card with audio and I can enjoy my car-rides even better

Official Car dock / Car mount / Windscreen mount -> information??

Anyone know of any intel on the OFFICIAL CAR DOCK for the SGS3???
I haven't come across any information about availability for it on the interwebz. There are many generic mounts, but the Sammy Car Mounts are the best and fit/function perfectly. I haz to have it with the SGS3 when I get it.

You can order the car dock from Samsung or at&t but either way it will be shipped. At&t doesn't carry it instore but the new one is universal. Works with the S3 and the Note.

I posted this in the international forum, but thought I would post here as well to give my thoughts to those of you thinking about the exogear "exomount".
just got my exomount today. its way smaller than I was expecting! I hope this thing holds like it is supposed to. Feels super cheap too. I thought everyone wanted the exomount because it was such high quality and stuck well. I dont have my S3 to put it in, but I have my Thunderbolt in it now and so far I'm not to impressed.

Multimedia dock for the 10.1 == $5

For those that want a dock, or just the piece that pops into the front of the HDMI dock (for the GT7). Literally sold my GT10 yesterday; I'd buy one right now just for the plastic piece.
http://www.hhgregg.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-multimedia-desktop-dock/item/D1B1BEGXAR
Probably my last post in this forum by the way. It's been a fun year (*found my receipt dated 7/30/11). Got the nexus 7 and I honestly can't imagine turning back. The GT10 is a great tablet and will be for some time; I just can't spend all of my time flashing ROMs on 2 devices! Anyways, enjoy your tablets, especially now that you'll have working cameras within a few days!

thanks for the link. price is very good.

is this site legit? 4.95 seems almost too good...

LOOOL. HHgreg is legit. xD :good:

my local store had two of them. bought them both. still need one more. the guys at the counter were annoyed that they had no idea of the price. so i feel kinda lucky they were there.
the downside... there is no charger. so they expect me to use the short three foot cord that came with the tab. that thing barely reaches from the plug straight up on a table.

anyone know the difference between the multimedia Desktop Dock in the OP with (Model: D1B1BEGXAR)) versus the this one (Model: EDD-D1B1BEGSTA) sold on amazon. They both seem to be for Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 original. I remember the Original galaxy 10.1 was thicker before the US version of the 10.1 came out. no way of telling if this is the case here.
I missed out on this awesome deal. No longer available in my area nor am I able to order online and ship to Washington DC.seems to be sold out or in-store only if available.
Thanks,

Nice deal but how about shipping to germany... ?

anyone know if i can get this one to africa ?

This is great, its only $3.82 now w/o shipping! I bought the media adapter from the original tab 7, which had hdmi, was just proping up the tab 10.1 with a piece of wood behind it, now I can buy this and just use the plastic base piece keyboard is also on sale 17.47, in case any one is interested

I realy want to order one toobecause in europe they are about at least 20-30 €..
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA Premium HD app

just picked mine up in store, apparently they dont ship the dock, you have to do in store pickup. the guy at the store told me it was being discontinued, and I got 1 of the only 2 they had. I also picked up the SD adapter for the tab(official samsumg adapter) for $8.37. I had previously bought a cheap chinese 2 in 1 usb/sdcard adapter, its very ****ty and you have to hold it an exact angle, and not move the device, otherwise you a disconnect...

Its out of stock. It will let you put it in the cart, but when you go to checkout during the entering of the billing/shipping address it then says its out of stock and must be removed from the basket. Otherwise its a good deal.
If you're a Amazon Prime member its $9.72 shipped for the EDD-D1B1BEGXAR model.

No custom ProClip planned for HTC 10

I asked ProClip if they were making a clip for the HTC 10. This was their response...
Thank you for contacting us and for your interest in ProClip products.
Unfortunately, due to the extremely large number of devices released every year, we cannot make holders for them all.
Currently there are no plans to make a holder for the HTC 10. However, this may change depending on customer demand going forward.
We can add your name to our list of customers who are interested in this holder. If we get a large enough response we may reconsider making a holder for your device.
In the meantime we do have several adjustable holders that may work for your device.
You can find those items here: ProClip Universal Holders - http://www.proclipusa.com/mobile-device-holders/universal-holders/universal-phone-holders.aspx
Each product page has the dimensions the holder will accommodate. Please take good measurements of your device with any case you might be using; this will help you to select the best ProClip Universal holder for your device.
Please feel free to contact us with any other questions you may have.
Best Regards,

I'm not saying ProClip is good or bad. They are really expensive, but I'm a bit obsessed with their clip for my car that snaps into the dash and provides a solid mounting point just above the vent. My M8 always overheats with my current setup with a windshield mount. I tried a vent style mount, but it just doesn't stay put in the vent.

I love ProClip and have been using them in my vehicles since my Droid Incredible days.
They always say this response up until they release the product. My guess with a phone like the 10, they will definitely launch one. Just hang tough

+1. Considering there is an article on the HTC 10 on the Proclip blog, I'd be surprised if they didn't come out with one. Also, it may be more useful to ask Brodit directly. Brodit designs the holders and then it becomes available via Proclip here.

Just emailed Brodit UK re an HTC 10 mount and this was the reply:
Brodit are going to manufacture one and this will be available around 4 weeks after Brodit receive a device. As the handset is due for release in May I would expect these to be available at the beginning of June.
I will add your details to the list of customers who are interested in a holder for the HTC 10 and will update you when these are available.

Sweet. Do these ever get cheaper? Is there any history of a sale when a new part comes out?

I took an old proclip non-case holder from an older HTC phone (kickstand one) that was too tight heated it with a hair drier and expanded it with a C-clamp, perfect fit.
Edit: Brodit Item No. 511403

I've had Proclip in my various cars and for various phones.. A suggestion would be instead of purchasing the custom holder for the phone we have, would be to buy the universal holder. I've used the universal holder for a Nexus 5, moto x 2013/2014, OnePlus 1+2, Nexus 6, Nexus 6p, HTC m8, and LG g4 in no particular order :silly:, and all fit perfectly! The only thing that needs to be custom is the mount that fits onto your dash!

Is this confirmed information?
I emailed Brodit SE a week ago, asking the same thing.
Their answer:
- Som det ser ut nu så har vi inget planerat till denna enhet.
In English:
- As it looks now, we have nothing planned for this unit.

Well, that was a copy of the message they sent me. Not sure how I can confirm that it is correct info.... I hope it is correct otherwise I will order a universal mount from them.

Yeah, I got a similar response from Brodit SE a bit over 3 weeks ago.
They're "looking into it" but can't promise anything, said he'll inform the product manager (eg add another one interested on the list).
If Brodit doesn't make one, I'll probably look into RAM Mount. (edit: not the x-grip of course..)

I just use an iottie mount myself..

maybe there is usb c proclip mount for another device that may fit.

i use an adjustable iPhone 6 clip... it works well. Use on my Nexus 5X as well, just loosen, adjust and retighten.

I'm using this. Perfect for my needs.

Thanks for the tip. I've ordered one of these from Amazon and will check it out. I have a Spigen A201 mag mount vent type and it just falls out of the vent in my Prius. Hopefully the Airsnap will hold better. The Prius (gen2) vent pivots both horizontally and vertically so it's a bit of a crap shoot but I figure maybe one of the support clip things will help to stabilize it.
The good news is the strong magnet doesn't appear to affect the HTC 10 like it did the M8. The M8 would trigger the Dotview case mode, but the HTC 10 Iceview sensor seems to be very low on the phone so putting the mag mount in the center doesn't trigger it.
