Car mount solution - LG Optimus G (International)

I have posted this on the ATT LG Optimus page...
Greetings all,
This phone is a beast and it is a shame that it does not have an official car dock. I am coming from an Atrix and am really used to the ease of snapping it in place and charger/aux cable is already connected to the mounting unit.
Note: I do not have a Bluetooth enabled receiver in the car, nor do I want the HTC or any other Aux => Bluetooth music adapter.
A few questions:
1. Is there an OFFICIAL car dock for another phone that will fit the AT&T Optimus G? (preferably with audio through USB)
2. Anyone know if the IBolt for Galaxy S3 will fit the AT&T Optimus G?
3. I have read the post on the Infuse Car dock, but doe it pass audio through USB? Would it work with Optimus G?
4. If anyone has any other working solution, I would really be thankful if you could share it.
Thanks!

I second that
Coming from an iPhone and otherwise liking my LG very much, the complete absence of accessories is total lackluster

I use this one and it has been fantastic for any phone

Please read if you want a speaker dock

i've been searching until i have final come across a peaker dock for the x10 on ebay
here is the link:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Dock-Speaker...UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL&hash=item230f93d21d
Well, its a speaker dock for sure. But its not strickly for the X10 or X8.
That is a universal dock that is being sold as an X10 Dock. I have seen several of them in discount stores and they have all been labeled different.
Blackberry / HTC / Samsung.
Reason being is that almost all the newer smartphones have a 3.5mm Headphone jack now and all it takes is a slot big enough to accomadate most any phone and you can call it what you want for whatever phone ya like.
PS:
I can't comment on sound quality as I have never seen one hooked up to anything and I sure it will work quite well with your phone. I was just giving a heads up
That looks like a fairly low quality solution.. you'd be better off getting a generic iPod dock - most of them are now compatible with headphone style input now.. here's my home one in use with my sexy new Arc !!! I also have a portable one.. Gear 4 Street party revolve.. for holidaying etc.. works with my phone and my kids ipods..

Best Car Dock For Galaxy Nexus + Pictures?

What's up guys?
Can anyone post their car dock / setup pictures for us to see along with a link they ordered it from?
I'm in the market for one and the one from Verizon themselves is quite cheap.
Please tell me this is an April Fool's Day joke. Please.
My car doesn't work well with most mounts so I made my own bracket that goes on the dash, I usually don't like universal mounts, but since I am running a case I have no choice. After a couple crappy ones I found one that works pretty well. It was at target for $13, haven't found it online. It holds the phone well and doesn't get in the way of buttons or the usb port.
It comes with a windshield and vent mount but I used a screw to attach it.

I just use the official Pogo Pin Dock from Samsung.
Here is the picture of the dock from target.

External Mic (for concert/loud recording)

LG Optimus G Internal mic test with loud environnement.
Internal Mic: http://youtu.be/cBLs2AAjoB4
Headphone mic: http://youtu.be/vuQpVPv9yz0
External mic with Adaptator: http://youtu.be/fUcZYjBOJ7o
I have done several tests with my old Galaxy S here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=815074&highlight=microphone
Everything still apply with the LGOG.
So, basicaly, what it tells us is that you can use an external microphone with an adaptator.
For the adaptator, you can make one yourself,
find the Philips DVDP01 like this one and use only the adapter

Or use the 3.5mm trrs to 3 RCA that can be used for portable DVD player, then use an adaptater to go from RCA to whatever you need.
What this means, also, is that you can use the "line in" of the 4 connector to plug whatever you want for your video.
Il most likely make the adapter with the needed connector in the current weeks, I'll keep you posted on the "How To"
BTW: If you like my work and think it's worth a drink, use the "donate to me" button, right under my name!

The official accessories are on their site now. I can tell you for sure that the media dock that has the hdmi on the back and 3 usb ports DOES NOT WORK. The tablet doesn't even recognize it as a power source. There is no official dock that appears to work correctly.

I picked up a Samsung DA-E570 speaker with a dual dock for (micro USB) Android and (30 pin) for iPhone on ebay a while back for about $50.00
Not super load but a much better sound quality than tablet speakers.
Charges your device and control speaker for music playback with included remote control.

Does Mi6 have a support for HDMI/MHL interface?

I like to play movies from my phone/tablet using a small portable projector. It's possible as both devices support Slimport and a tiny microsub/HDMI adapter is sufficient for connection. I wanted to try if my new Mi6 can do the same trick, but a cheap Chinese adapter usb-c/HDMI doesn't work. I wonder if the official Xiaomi connector (photo and link below) can help somehow.
