HTC Car - First Look
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
I found this one on "htcpedia" and it's out for pre-orders. I love it especially that the phone has a 5-pin Pogo connector for audio and charging .

Description as on the "htcpedia" website:
The HTC Car Upgrade Kit for your HTC One X smartphone delivers the comfort and support you need for your smartphone while in your vehicle. This Car Upgrade kit model # CAR D110 is exclusively made for your HTC One X smartphone, and therefore perfectly designed to allow you full access to your One X while in your car.
Once you dock your HTC One X into the car upgrade kit, your phone will automatically launch the car mode app, unleashing full made-for-auto applications such as navigation, footprints, voice search, map view, and make a hands-free call. 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
HERE
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.

To Be honest. Im glad that it is horizontal for movies n **** but for $40 dollars!! that joint aint to sexy or appealing (Not like the Moto Droids Dock) but it gets the job done.
PREECH NOTE:
For those of u who want that full dock clock experience like the "Motorola DROID 1" go to the Android Market & download the app called
:"Desk Home For Samsung Vibrant". Desh home works with all Samsung special music & video player apps & even work with the "Daily Breifing" app. (The regular stock android "DESK CLOCK" feature will not work on the samsung Vibrant becuz the galaxy S has different music & video players from Stock android 2.1 or 2.2
I hope this was real helpful.
www.BlackFreedomUnity.com Will have Live YouTube Tech Reviews & How To's! from the "THE HOOD HACKER" himself coming soon in chopped & screwed vocals.
Over N Out
Looks like it wouldn't work with a case on the phone. I'll stick to my bent paperclip stand.
The desk dock from Samsung USA is ok, but I still prefer the dock with the integrated speakers. Found it on their launch website.
I really want a dock station but $40 is kind of pricy, for now I am going to try this:
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Griffin-Technology-Travel-Stand-iPhone-iPod-Touch/14575863
It says that is for iphone/ipod but I try it on walmart and works good, and if I pod a small case if keep working, not like the original that looks like it wont work with a case.
the good thing is only $13

What's the deal with that? Are they just not releasing that thing? I totally wanted that dock.
So there's no dock with built-in speakers?
not to bash you but that has been on their site for 3 weeks now. it is still listed out of stock, and if you looked at my post earlier, i confirmed with the samsung accessories department that nothing will be officially available for another 3-4 weeks
I don't see a way for this to be used as a car mount, anyway I really want a dock to have my vibran on my desktop, I get so pissed there is so many accessories for the Iphone 4 and no love for out vibrant
I dream about a cnc machine dock and back cover for my vibrant ahhggr!
and why isn't tmobile selling this docks and other accessories for the vibrant, they have all kind of crap for my touch 3g slide
For some reason, not sure why, I doubt that Samsung will be the ones who realize accessories are features. People buy gadgets based on what they can do with them, including dock them, mount them in their car, output to TV without hunting down a mysterious cable.
I think the reason iPhones have so many accessories is, in large part, because they have so many accessories. Out of the box this is proving way too difficult. This is going to bite Samsung in the sales end.
This isn't going to fix the charging issue but this is what I have decided to do for now.
This is for the sound.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001CK5XEA/ref=oss_product
Guess I could lean the phone against it.
Make it less than $20 and I will buy.
Still says its sold out unless of course it wasn't earlier.
The iPhone didn't have very many accessories when it first launched either. Watch eBay and search for Galaxy S or Galaxy Vibrant, new stuff is being added almost on a daily basis.
I'm going to order some shape lock (modable plastic) and make my own dock for my car I plan on making it a lot like this dock, but it will surround the phone on three sides, holding it in landscape (add a to to the pictured dock. Between these surrounds, and the friction of the usb connection, that should be enough to hold it in place for most purposes in my car. I Also plan to build in a mic from one of the headsets for speakerphone over the car speakers.

When it launched, the iPhone came bundled with a dock.
Now I just need a bedside Dock or Cradle
Just got the Samsung Vibrant last week, and all my friends that have iPhone 4 are impressed with it, too. It blows away my old iPhone 2G and 3Gs phones.
The only thing missing is a good bedside dock! I always used my iPhone as an alarm clock and the dock was great, along with the snooze button right on top.
I've been waiting for Samsung to come out with it's official dock, but I'm tired of holding my breath for that one.
I got a black elago S2 stand (I'd post a link, but new posters apparently aren't allowed to here). While it holds the phone well for watching movies, it tends to fall over with the micro-usb charger plugged in, or when I clumsily try to turn off the alarm in the morning. So I'm looking for a more stable one.
Has anybody tried this one: ezestand
or this one: Samsung Desktop Cradle with Integrated Cable Channels- Original (OEM) ET-CS01SBEGXAR
Again, sorry for the lack of links.
The sad thing about our phone is the retarded plug on top. I mean common that limits us to zero aftermarket docks unless they lay on their side.

Well.. you COULD put it upside down
LOL, I thought about that earlier.
Anyone know if Samsung ever actually had the docks in stock, or were they out from the beginning? It's just surprising to me that they're now hyping all the Galaxy phones like crazy, yet aren't doing a thing about the accessories.
I will be getting my xoom tomorrow morning and this will be one of my first accessories.

I'd like something that would clamp on to my dash wall. Think cop car laptop.
I like this idea, I would especially love if these guys would drill holes for the camera....augmented relaity navagation has already come to Rt. 66, just a metter of time before it comes to Android. Have you seen an ipad mount reviews?
i work for a company who makes high end video products for the automotive world. We we're looking at making something for my XOOM today but in the sun...the XOOM screen is just very big which causes a lot of glare and with the sun hitting it at angles we couldn't see the screen very well.
Going to give it a shot anyways...we'll see.
The glare is an excellent point.
Looks awesome! Let us know how it goes when you get it. However, in CA, I think there is a law against operating a screen like this in the front of a car. If it actually got mounted, we would probably get fined for it unless we could work a GPS angle or something.
My car's windshield isn't big enough to mount a tablet to it....
This might not only be illegal, its likely very dangerous because of how much of your field of view it blocks.

Was thinking about replacing my old car dvd player for the kids with the xoom, mounted to the headrest. There's one on Amazon, I'm too new to post links.
Would definitely need an anti-glare screen protector though
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
I don't think the glare would be any worse than my Droid X. I have learned how to angel it for best results. I have also held the Xoom up to see where it would work best and only block a view of the top of the dash (don't look much at that anyway ) I would only use it for longer trips and in the motor home anyway. The Droid, in it's dock, works fine for local destinations.
Isnt it alittle bulky to put on a dash?
This is the only way I see Xoom in my car:

no offense but putting the xoom on the windshield is the dumbest thing i've ever seen.
other than the glare issue, i think a car mount solution could work for certain cars. definitely not a windsheield mount though. it would have to be a variation on the Proclip style thing that is specifically designed for your car and specifically designed for the xoom (i have one of these for my galaxy s, and it is absolutely hands down the best car dock ever).
one of the downsides of living in an apartment is i cant weld something like this out of sheet metal as i would have in my old place... on the upside it probably saves me from higher insurance fees from the inevitable car crash that would result from having such a setup in my car.
http://www.amazon.com/RAM-Mounting-RAM-B-316-1-AP8-Non-Locking-Universal/dp/B0042HLMYK
This is one of the ones that I want. They just need to make it for the Xoom...you could probably buy the one in the OP and this mount and piece them together just fine. This would put it in an area like a cop would use their laptops for.
thought I'd revive this thread
Has any of you early adapters ordered a car mount yet? I would love to do that in the near future (including a car charger) but I don't know what to get. It would be great if it didn't cost $50+ though. Main use would be navigation.

I'm planning on installing the standard dock underneath my HU. The dock has an integrated power and aux out so it perfect for this application. The only problem is it will block the IR (not to mention all the controls) of my HU so ill need to hard wire my HUs remote to the IR... but I thinks it worth it. Best carputer you can have on your dash right now, and you can take it with you when you are not in your car!

I wouldn't mind fixing it to the small tray in the middle console of my car using either double-sided tape or even screws. I've read that the goose-necks are wobbly and the tablet is moving all the time. I'll do some more research!

Yeah saw that last night. that is eactly like sgt car dock i have, except for a smaller tray.
Seems sorta pricey- i got my sgt one for 39 before a 20% discount. order directly from sammy....
Fwiw the arm/suction aparatus on my sgt dock is rigid and didnt rotate. this really limits mounting options. . this oem gnote one looks like the same (just different tray).
. . . still looking...most of the universal ones seem to have lots of bulky clamping mechanisms. . .yuck. .

I've sent an email to them as well.
I got the answer that they do not have any plans releasing a holder for Galaxy Note, due to the fact that it has not yet been released.
I got the reply from Brodit on the 26th of October so perhaps they are now looking into creating a holder for the Note...
If anyone wants to email them to create a buzz/demand for the holder, please feel free to do so...

I have been told by one supplier on eBay that the official dock is not compatible with the Note while encased in a gel type skin. It's the same story with the desk dock too. That's put a bit of a dampener on them for me, as they were both on my xmas list. However, weighing up pros and cons I'd rather keep the case on the phone than have the convenience of the official dock. A universal dock and a loose lead will have to do for me, which is what I'm using at the moment.

Official G Note car dock should have the micro usb plug on the dock itself so it's possible to just attach the phone to the dock and you get also the power supply without connecting manually the power supply cable . Finally they made it...

Car Dock
I've been using a bracketron vent mount with my galaxy S2 when I got my Note the mount was able to hold it horizontally but not vertically little too much weight up high. When I got the flip case cover I thought this would never work but to my surprise when put the flip top all the way over I can clip the case to the bottom of the mount and holds perfectly in the vertical position. The phone is still supported by the 2 feet at the bottom. The small clip that I used was from Home Depot think it was $.99. Pretty good temporary solution for me.

Only two choices for me - the genuine Samsung job which is supposed to be about £30 ish, or a Brodit pro-clip. I've had these ever since the N95. Great kit, moulded to the phone, active or passive holders. But you have to wait a while for them to release it.
I wonder if the official Samsung one will have a line out like the S2 mount?
How about one with clips for the AC? That's what I'm looking for.
Mobile Fun sells those car dash mounts for a good price. They have an "ultimate pack"
I am giving one away on my site if you are interested check out the link in my sig.

I'm also a Brodit fan. Problem is I am planning to get the Samsung flip cover which has the replacement back. With my GS2 I just take it out of the case to put it in the passive holder but that won't work with the flip cover. I don't think Brodit do a kind of grip holder to attach to their vent attachment which I use.
Looks as though there's no line out on the Samsung one

The last couple of Brodit holders I've had have been very poor quality. The mounts are ok so I've connected third party holders to the mount.
The holder that I linked to is apparently a Samsung one and looks like it will work with a phone in a case
Samsungs original car mount is disappointing without the ports that the s2 & notes car mount have had.

Some of the sites I've seen show this to be described as a universal adapter, for Galaxy S3 AND other phones, other sites indicates this is designed specifically for the S3, and most don't seem to show a micro usb connection.
What gives? Is this or is this not a specific S3 device?
Yes this time around Samsung has released a generic car mount capable of scoring any Samsung device that covers between 4.7" to 5.3" which is printed in the car mounts box.
:-(
The one shown in the expansys is for s2 or for the note. Do not fall for it as it will not fit for the s3.

I have the Samsung car dock for the s2. It is slightly different- the back hole for the camera is different than that of the pic in the link above for eXpansys. Also the note and gs2 are completely different in size. The one shown in the picture for the expansys website is not adjustable.. at least I can't see any sign of it adjusting.. even the car mount for the s2 is not adjustable for a different device. So it could very well be for the s3
Here is the mount for the s2. Pretty similar but its not the same mount as the one on the expansys link.

That looks like the S2 mount listed here:
http://www.expansys.com/samsung-car-holder-for-galaxy-s-ii-217880/
But I think the S3 mount they have pictured is the Note mount
http://www.expansys.com/samsung-ori...-galaxy-note-5-3-car-charger-included-224728/
Think Samsung have dropped the ball in only providing a universal mount and not one dedicated to the phone. Looks like Im waiting for Brodit.
I will be trying my Exogear exomount when my S3 arrives, its the best universal holder i have had.
What about the Exomount or Osomount?

They should be the best universal holders on the market and they are cheap... AND they'll fit the S3 easily
i have just ordered exomount , i hope there wontt be high vibrations while recording,while driving. + phone has image stabilization , should not be big problem

I have the Spacemount, and it's fantastic. The only thing I would tell you to beware of is excessive heat (like leaving it hooked on the dashboard during a hot summer day). It'll degrade the amount of stick & suction it has, although mine still works well enough.
This Crab SuperGrip is amazingly GRIPPY !

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!
Yep my htc stereoclip is waiting for the One

For the sound, it's only with the HTC StereoClip ? or the car dock have a jack audio 3.5mm ?
my cardock Samsung galaxy S2 have (on back) a USB port for charge and audio out jack 3.5mm (by USB)

you can plug the audio jack directly into ONE
car kit d160 video review can be found on youtube
cheers
Good!
It still comes with the 3M pad for dash mount
thank you
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 !!
not better xD
No charging
So you can't charge the phone with the official car holder?

Of course you can charge it!
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
