Car Mount Suggestions - X 2014 Accessories

I need a new car mount as I had the old Moto X dock. Has anyone had any success with universal car mounts? I would ideally want something that had a small footprint and allowed for easy charging. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

I use the breffo spiderpodium. Universal as heck.

Wow that's a unique dock! Not quite my style though, but thanks

I use the iOttie that I bought on amazon here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007FHX9OK
I highly recommend it. The one touch mechanism feels really natural.

I looked at that one and nearly bought it. I went with the Griffin Window Seat 3 and will see how it goes. I liked the minimal look to it.

This is a good mount

If you use a case I would go with a magnetic car dock. I swear by these because the have such a small profile and are very versatile. The best thing about these is that if your phone has wireless charging (which is the only thing I miss now that I have the Moto X) it sticks to the charger without a metal plate in your case.
I have the mountek:

ProClip makes some pretty nice mounts that include the charger built in to it. Here is a link to the old Moto X docks. I emailed them and they said it will take a few weeks to make the design for the new Moto X, but they are definitely making one.

It's been a long time since I posted here. Just came to look for stuff for my soon to arrive Moto X (2014) and spotted this thread. I currently use this mounting system with my current Moto X (2013) and have done with previous phones:
http://www.tetrax.com/xway/
They've very strong magnets that you mount in your car either straight on to the dashboard, via a small tiltable 'X' for larger devices or (my personal choice) the ones which clamp onto the air vents. You then stick a small metal 'dot' on the back of your device (I've always stuck the 'dot' to a case which I've had the phone in, but I suspect it'd be fine straight on the device.
The great thing about this system is that you can have multiple magnets (I've got one on the head of my bed to hold my phone near me as it charges at night), and multiple devices with 'dots' on them for the same mounts. They're very strong, and removing the device from the mount is as simple as pulling it it away from the magnets and to the side slightly.

I actually prefer mounts that include charging so I don't have to plug in the USB cord every time.

I'll keep an eye on that dock too even though it's probably going to be around fifty bucks. Mind bumping this thread when you hear it's released?

The Scosche magicMounts are awesome. They are the magnetic mounts that you can buy at Walmart.

I really hope that there will be a car dock from Griffin. I've got the Griffin car dock for the MX 2013 and it's fantastic. I love how secure it fits and that it turns in driving mode automatically due to the magnet in the dock.
Does any other dock currently on the market have the magnet to put the MX in driving mode? And I love the USB port so that I don't have to plug it into the phone every time I put it in the dock.

Otterbox defender. Army boots for your phone.
Easy holster conversion into a carkit using crazy glue. The x2 version should be out by now.

I prefer cd slot mounts. This is what i am using:

I bought the Scosche vent mount, and I'm pretty pleased. It came with a suction cup mount for a window/dash as well.
But the vent mount works perfectly for me. Stays on well, and rotates for Landscape view that I like to use when using navigation.
Paid ~$25 at Walmart.

Has anyone tried an iBolt mount? Also, can anyone confirm that the new X will activate car mode with a magnet?

When are we getting a car mount

Samsung announced before the galaxy s line was released that all phones were getting among other things, a car mount. Its the only accessory I have really been pining after. Anyone have any idea about when its coming out?
car mount
I got a generic one off of ebay for $5. the suction cup is worthless but it came with spring loaded vent hooks also which keep it secure in my truck
i have a feeling it has something to do with the line out not working till froyo comes out, like with the home dock. at least i hope so. if we see froyo without a car dock i'm gonna be pissed.
I've ordered two of the Media Docks, $20 each shipped. One will stay in my office on my desk, the other I will be customizing to fit into the ashtray of my X5 so I don't have to fumble with the car charger and headphone cords anymore since 2.2 will enable the headphone jack on the dock through the MicroUSB port.
I finally just got rid of Sirius because my new car has bluetooth that I can play slacker through. Soooo I went and ordered one for $5 off ebay. I dont expect it to be top notch.... but as long as it holds the phone I am good.

This is one thing I've been waiting for since I got my epic on release day. Starting to get sick of waiting. I want to probably get the Arkon beanbag mount but I hate that it doesn't come with a car charger and it's so freakin hard to find a car charger that has an angeled head (on the point that plug into the phone) so I don't have a goofy wire curved around the top of the phone.
I still do not have any mount or car charger yet as I still want to wait for the official dock but my patience is wearing very thin on this issue

Proclip vehicle mount with adjustable ipod holder works 100% perfectly and allows enough adjustment to use with Epic bare or with any of the common snap on cases and such.
This was my biggest concern when I got the phone as well as I wasn't a fan of the top-mounted usb input Samsung chose to go with when most other devices are (logically IMO) bottom-mounted precisely because of cradling convenience.
I picked up a Bracketron universal vent mount. I then got a 3' car charger (straight) and a 3' stereo cable to input the audio into my radio. I lashed the two cables together about every 6" with black wire ties. It's really only a little over 1' from my radio to the mount, but I just let them loop over and hang down the left side onto the center of the console when I'm not in the car. And the extra length is nice as it allows you to easily pull the cables to you when you hop in the car for a quick/easy plug in before putting the phone in the dock. Perhaps not the most elegant solution, but it's passable and semi-efficient until a more official solution comes out (and even then I'm not a big fan of the landscape layout.)
This thread needs pics and links! I recently tried some little cheapy one at WalMart for $7, and while it was a super tight fit, it bounced around too much while driving to make it reasonably viewable to watch movies at the same time.
I did this with my epic and used a cheap crappy case I found on eBay and the cradle/mount from Garmin Nuvi.

Anyone get one? I am guessing by the look that it does not work with a case.
Can anyone post a few more detailed pics when they get it please? I'd like to know a few things like if it has a connection for audio out, and does it work? If not, can you plug in a 3.5 audio cable or does the mount obstruct the jack? How does the "cradle' attach to the "mount"? Could one use just the cradle part with their own mount? How much tilt/swivel does it allow for? TIA

It only says "one x" but I would guess since there is enough play to hold the phone in a case that the extra fraction in length of the att wouldn't be a problem.

Very nice car dock. Contemplating pre-ordering one @ the $36.90 price tag...

Cool product, still wish it used the POGO PINs.
Me too... I want a dock that does charging and audio out with no connecting. of wires.
I have the stock HTC One X car mount and it sucks. This looks much better.
The stock relies on these grooved sides to hold the phone in, and when you slide in the phone sometimes you have to wiggle to get the USB to plug in. Further, because it holds the phone pretty tightly, it's not easy to remove the phone. I have to use both hands to get my phone out of the car mount.
just brought this got to wait 10 days as its coming from china.
has anyone got one yet and got any feedback?
I was willing to pay the £40 for the htc official one but ultimately
i didnt go for that one because i didnt like the idea of having to
take the case on and off each time.
this ones meant to work with or without and was cheaper only £25.
ill post a review when i receive it.......

You'll need a Motorola phone to accomplish that. They send audio out the USB port of the car dock

Just received my KiDiGi dock yesterday. It's very well made and works great with the Rock slim case I have on my HOX. It comes with a usb cable and charger, but it doesn't appear to be wired to auto enable car mode when docked. No big deal...that's what NFC tags are for!
It's very similar in design to the iBolt dock that Sprint is selling for the EVO LTE. They both have the insert to work with or without a case on the phone, and a top latch to keep it secure. If the KiDiGi were easier to come by, I would highly recommend it. I ordered it from 4u-mobi back on May 24th, so it took about 3 weeks to make it here.

I received my dock as well. It does enable car mode for me, I'm not sure why it's not for you (are you on a Sense based rom?). I have a Casemate Barely There on my HOX and it works fine with the dock. The dock seems to be able to accomodate cases slightly thicker than the Barely There as well (but not much thicker). The headphone jack and camera are exposed and easy to get to. The top "flap" that keeps the phone in place snaps down with a satisfying thud. Very good build quality. The charger that comes with it is a single USB, 1.0A charger. Pretty standard. The usb cable that comes with it is one of those looped cables (like old corded phone cables) so if your charging port is more than 2 feet or so away from your mount it's gonna put some stress on the usb cable. There's also a little cavity underneath the phone on the mount that lets you wedge your finger in there to aid in getting the phone out of the dock, very nice touch.
Note: If you use the plastic dash mounting disk, the adhesive pad on the bottom needs at least 24 hours to set properly. I tried using the mount after letting it sit overnight and the adhesive was barely holding on, but the next day it was rock solid.
Just ordered it from htcpedia. $33 shipped.
The sprint dock is from kidigi but sprint just paid them to put their logo on there.

I was mistaken. CleanROM DE doesn't have the htc car app. I switched to SE and it does indeed auto-switch to car mode when docked.
Just got my KiDiGi dock today, very happy with my purchase. The arm is a little bulky and flimsy but the dock fits on my other arm perfectly so I could care less. Fits great with both my Mybat hybrid TPU case and my Diztronic TPU case. Highly recommended.
Just received mine as well, I don't consider the arm flimsy, though. Tighten it up and its sturdy as anything. Nice looking dock, fits with my barely there, and enables car mode. Just wish I could set music to a third party app, or figure out how.
And that's the aux cable wrapped around the arm.

An update on mine...
The adhesive disk for mounting on your dash kinda sucks...at least mine did. It could not hold up the mount while the phone was docked. I had the mount itself set at a 90 degree angle and after a bit of driving the adhesive disk just started peeling off.
My solution to this was getting some mounting puddy and using that as an adhesive plus setting the dock on my dash in a way that allows the mount itself (where you dock the phone) to rest on the dash, thereby alleviating any excessive torque being put on the dash disk.

Inexpensive Car Dock

I looked through the accessories threads and did not see this one.
Bought it on ebay, the item number is 310396344082. Sorry I am unable to post links yet.
If you do not plan on putting a case on your One X then I highly recommend this car dock. The suction is strong and all joints have tension adjusters. Also the cradle part is on a ball type swivel with tension adjustment. Holds the phone very securely and does not interfere with any of the buttons or ports. This is not a universal as the cradle part seems to be molded specifically for the HTC One x (perfectly molded around the camera).
It does not put the phone in car mode automatically, you will have to push the car icon. But I have seen special charging cables that will do that for you also.

This is exactly what i was looking for, a slim, low profile car mount and what an amazing price.. Ordered!
Gonna use this with an NFC tag to launch the cardock and Pandora. With this kind of battery life, who needs a charger plugged in?
Thanks for the heads up on this. I think I'm going to order one today. I need to get the cable that puts the phone in dock mode. For me it's not so much for the charging, but I want to have the screen stay on and not time out while in the dock.

You can set your screen to always stay on while charging. It's in the developer settings.

Is the OEM car dock out? Where can I find one online? (please don't say eBay)

I have the Inspire 4G dock with this same design (looks like the same removeable clip system) and while I did like the design, the suction cup never seemed to hold well. When I took it down after I got my One X, I realized that the suction cup was breaking away from the mount. YMMV of course...

If you want wireless charging on the fly yes. Otherwise get any of the universal ones on amazon or ebay. I have an arkon, kropsson aero, and Xenomix. All work, but all have their flaws and benefits. You need to search around the accessories threads and read up.
I am very picky when it comes to car mounts. I hate how ugly all the universal mounts look with the large claws on the sides. I was spoiled by the original nexus one OEM car mount. I want something that looks like its made for the phone.
A couple of phones back I had a Nokia n9. While looking for a car dock I found one made for a Nokia n8. Get on amazon and do a search for a Nokia cr-122. This mount will fit almost any phone and it looks like it was made to fit your specific phone. Its expandable. It fit my n9, my HTC one s, my girls iPhone, and my nexus 4. Its great. And reasonably priced as well. I will get some pictures up as soon as I find em.

I'm finding this works well with the N4 (landscape) as the N4 has such a smooth flat rear surface (even with a XtremeGuard style protector on it). Famous last words... but I don't fear it will fall off. It really sticks, but easily 'peels' off . I just wipe the 'sticky circle' with a damp cloth periodically. It's not an adhesive, but feels like tacky glue.

I actually stick the above to one of these. Easy to move out of sight, and it doesn't seem to slide on the dash. Also NO damage to dash/easily movable between cars

I liked the Nexus one car mount as well, but hardly used it and sold it soon afterwards because I use cases and taking the phone case on and off is a hassle. But I guess if you are running a nekkid nexus 4, I can see why you would like the OEM type mounts.
I ended up using the proclip mount with the USB charger built in, and a Bluetooth adapter for the audio. All I have to do is slide it in and go.
After looking at the various options I too didn't like the bulky mounts. I went for the Mountek cradle and I'm really happy with it. Fast delivery too.
Here's something you wouldn't expect...
... the car mount that I use for my Samsung Galaxy S3 (which I believe was originally for the AT&T Galaxy Blaze 4G) fits the Nexus 4 perfectly! The phone fits securely, charges through the USB connector and exposes the headset port on the top. Unfortunately, you cannot use the USB audio out portion of the dock.

Recommend: The best wireless charging car dock

Hi All,
I ordered my Note 9 512gb a little while back and have a few more weeks to wait. While I'm waiting I'm getting all the stuff I think I want to have with it. One of those things is a wireless charging car dock. There are too many out there to really know which is best so I thought I would ask the people that already have the note9 and possibly are already using a wireless car dock. Thanks!
I'm interested too. I'm searching for one usable with the clear view cover. Magnetic one would be great but I'm scared by the metallic ring and Qi interferences. I'm thinking of building my own based on the magnet already in the cover...

I went with Choetech one for my other car because it has a USB C inout for power. Works good, about the same as the iottie one touch except not as convenient.

I like the Choetech charger but 2 things bug me. The arms are slightly curved inwards toward the end and when the phone sits in the cradle all the way back the tips of the arms slightly block the screen. And forget about accessing the side edge function. 2nd is the mount, it doesn't use the 17mm ball and it's reversed compared to other mounts. The socket needs to be on the back of the device instead of the ball.

Thanks gottria. I use a panavise mount in my C63 and have a 17mm ball to hook the dock onto. This would've completely screwed up my setup :highfive:
I've just bought the choetech fast wireless charger mount. I have a Vauxhall vivaro and theres no good way to mount it so its on the windscreen towards the top with a USB trailing down to the quick charge 12v plug I use. I can see it being a pain but doesn't really block my view. I prefer air vent mounts had a baseus wireless charger but didn't even charge the phone. Compared to the choetech its much more cheapy and flimsy the choetech feels solid. Which is good but if anyone can advice a way I Can get a air vent mount to hold it to that then would prefer it.
My main worry about the choetech is with cold freezing weather coming in and frozen windscreens how well will it actually hold up as dont want my £1000 phone dropping and smashing. :fingers-crossed:

If you find a solution, let me know. I too am struggling to find one that works with the clear view cover
I have to say that when it comes to car mounts period, the folks at EXOGEAR are the best from my experience over the years. I've used their tablet and smartphone mounts. These mofos stick to practically any surface. Couple that with the way the phone snaps in and out of the mounts? It's so quick and easy.
But now I'm learning these guys make wireless chargers for their mounts. It says it goes "up to" 9v so I'm curious how fast it actually charges the N9.
Since it's EXOGEAR and I swear by their suction cup performance I'm going to buy it soon as it comes available and I'll check back later and let y'all know how it worked out. I honestly never felt the need to have a wireless charger in my car because I typically have plenty of battery life by the time I get home but this wireless charger peaked my interest.
https://exogear.com/product/exomount-qi/
I purchased the iOttie and loved it enough to purchase a second one for my wifes car. I havent found a single suction cup that would work with my leather in the car so I purchased a panavise mount and 17mm ball adapter to mount it. But while waiting for those to arrive I tested the suction cup and it holds... amazingly. The mount hasn't shifted in the slightest and I have launched the car from a dead stop a few times trying to get it to shake lose. I can feel my body violently being forced back into the seat but the mount doesn't look fazed. First time I can actual praise a suction cup mounting system.
Also I thought I should add that "Fast Charging" is displayed when the phone is docked.
I'm using the Baseus Qi Wireless Magnetic Fast Charger and it's pretty good. The only downside is if you have stiff car suspension (like in sports car) and get into a big bump, the phone can lose grip and fall.
https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32836...l&spm=2114.12010612.8148356.49.9226935c3ACvcY
Since my car already has a navigation screen I don't need the phone up in the vent area. Besides I didn't like any of the in vent holders. The magnetic phone holders out there I don't like since if i hit a bump or pothole the phone will fall due to its weight. There is a coin slot holder in my care but the wireless ones usually have a base that won't fit in that holder. But I then found a wood wireless charger a while back that had a metal base which is removable. I placed it in the coin holder and it charges my then Note 8, now Note 9 even with a case. Granted it is not a fast charge type of wireless charger but it does charge my phones quickly enough on the half hour of driving from work to home. So it does the job enough for me, looks great and I don't have to worry about the phone falling off a magnet or blocking the vent.
