Car Dock for Droid Eris

Does anyone know of any for the Eris? Been looking with no luck.

I have not found any at local VZ stores or even fry's that would meet my needs, however I have been looking at this site
search android central on google...this has some nice docks you can use
I might end up buying from here.

I made mine. just bought a garmin one that was about the right size, and a clip on case for the eris, a little dremeling and a little epoxy and it stays up nicely.

What you can do is purchase another backplate for the phone and buy velcro and mount like that, but if changing plates all the time is too much of a pain here is a amazon search

Nice to know I'm not the only Velcro-Jockey out there! I got a closeout "case-thing" from the Verizon store that only wraps around the sides, so it pops off quickly, and that's what my velcro is on.

I've been using the Scosche Universal Windshield and Vent Mount:
Can't post links , I bought it from Amazon though.
It's pretty adjustable, 90° rotation, flexible arm, fits a lot of different devices as well. I've had it for almost half a year now with no problems.

I use my innocase belt clip that came with my innocase II, and just built/bent a place to clip it to out of clothes hanger. Took a little work with the dremel to expose the charging jack and the headphone jack while it is mounted facing me, but works great!

I bought mine from walmart for $6. It's a vent mount I picked up in the automotive section.

ProClip(proclipusa dot com) has both powered and unpowered versions. Never tried one, but I've read good reviews on other boards. A little pricey as it's a two part system - a vehicle mount and a device adaptor. I'm thinking of trying the standard non-powered version for the Eris. Only concern is that it doesn't look like it will accomodate a protective case on the phone.
Another option is the "Universal" smart phone mount from Semsons(semsons dot com). I have dealt with them before for GPS and PDA stuff - no problems. I've got a universal PDA vent mount that I think was a freebie from them with a BT GPS purchase. I've used it for years - works OK with the Eris.

I got a universal vent dock that works for my Eris. U have a pretty nice setup as I also have a connection for hooking up cd players to a car's tapedeck. I no longer listen to the radio, and I gave up on CD's a long time ago.

custom dock
Im personally not a fan of vent docks or universals. I found a how to on lifehacker as to make a custom car dock. Granite its not like the moto droid with the magnet, but hell its much better than a universal windshield or vent mount.
Fact is you get any gps mount off ebay. I had an old magellan gps mount laying around. Average price for one off ebay is anywhere from $3-10
Grab a hard case off ebay. I picked one that had a belt clip on it for $2. Shipped.
I had to break the clip off and file it flush.
You can use Rearview mirror windshield mount sticker ,but I didnt have any so I just used standard epoxy. Im sure superglue will work.
Glue the hard plastic case onto the gps mount and your result will end like this.
Sorry for the crappy pics. Taken with my phone on KAOSFROYO 36 and camera works when it wants. Quailitys not that great but you get the picture.
Enjoy.

[Q] Car Dashboard mount?

Anybody know of a case or mount that attaches to the console or something on the inside of a car? My new DVP replaced my iPod which was pumping music through my car radio, and cant sit on its own in the cup holder (its a bit larger).
Any suggestions?

I have a Clingo Vent Mount. There's a review on MobilityDigest.com Works great, but you need a case to use it (I use mine with an otterbox case). The ahesive is extremely strong and I wouldnt want to use it on the Venue Pro's backcover. They also make a windows suction mount. Check amazon, they have the lowest prices I found for them.
I can't post links but if you use the search bar on the right of the site and look up "clingo" it should pop up

I bought Clingo Vent mount too and it works great on DVP!
I have no case for my phone and i have no problems.

Looking for car dock

Anyone know of a car dock that will work with the g2x? I currently have a Garmin Nuvi handheld GPS unit that clips into a ball-socket mount on my dash, but the Garmin maps are over a year old now, and I dont' want to pay to update them. Also, the interface itself is soooo slow. I'd rather just use my phone and I"ll give the Garmin to a friend.

I bought THIS last week and its been great. not 100% solid so there is some visible vibration while driving but it not like you stare at it while you drive so not a problem.

LG OEM G2x Mount
Does that mount work with a G2x phone that has a T-mobile gelskin on it?
And to the OP - regarding garmin map updates - I'm sure if you are resourceful you can find what you need on the internet, somewhere (wink wink).

you mean like a body glove or a case?

i went to tmobile and got their universal dock and it works great...i have an extended battery on it and it still manages to fit and stay in place. its 29.99 but i went during july and used the half off coupon to get it....has a 3.5 cable included and a micro usb port for charging

I bought the official LG Navigation mount for my G2X and
it is a superior mount that I highly recommend, works great!

Will this mount work with a case on the phone?

Cheap G2x mount
I got a cheap car mount at Walmart (auto section, not electronics), its also available at O'Reileys. Its made by Custom Accessories, its called "MP3 Player/Phone Holder". It was $7.96. It comes with a Windshield mount suction cup with a lever to engage/disengage, (and a mount with adhesive to put on your dash then use the suction cup) and a flexible goose neck to connect the holder to the suction cup. It comes apart to ease packing.
Its just barely wide enough for the G2x, so it won't work with any sort of case.

The T-Mobile/LG OEM mount pictured above that several people have inquired about will NOT work with a case. The way the phone clips in isn't deep enough but for a skin. I do recommend it though as it's a fantastic mount and will work nicely with his current Garmin mount as the ball socket is the same. I just ditched my case (was using an inexpensive TPU) and got a neoprene sleeve. Not as robust against droppage but worth the trade-off IMO.

Car Mount Recommendations?

I just got my Blaze and about the only thing I miss about my Defy was the car mount I had purchased. Has anyone used a universal car mount that they feel works well with this phone? Preferably a suction mount. I know there's quite a few choices, which has me spinning.

Check out Arkon dash mount. There is a video on YouTube and works really well. I own one myaelf
Sent from my SGH-T769 using XDA

I know this thread is a bit old, but in case anyone was unaware, there is an official samsung car mount for this device that docks/charges.
You can get it off Amazon for $35. As a new xda user, I can't yet post links, but search Amazon for the model number " ECS-K1G4BEGSTA ".

I use a universal suction type mount and it works great! I even move it to the side windows when I am parked and want to watch a movie. I have never had an issue with it falling off. It is the best one that I have found. Only issue I see is that it does not adapt to the thicker cases that I have bought or the ones that have a belt clip knob. Hope it helps!

Universal Car Mount

Anyone have any good recommendations for a universal car mount for the 6P? My current one could use to be replaced anyway but it also makes it harder to use because of the way the buttons are arranged, so if anyone knows of any that work well I would appreciate the suggestion.

RAM X-Grip

Ram x grip or proclip universal t1 large

The X-Grip looks nice, do the nubs on the arms ever obstruct your view or annoy you?

No

I have the Monster Grip Universal Car Mount which is perfect if you swap phones often. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqOG80Nh2RY

I'm very happy with my ProClip Universal mount. You have to buy both a phone holder and the mount (custom for your car, suction mount or magnetic mount) and it isn't the cheapest, but my car mount is VERY stable and the holder keeps the phone in place nicely (I have the air duct mount that is excellent). They now have the custom holder for the 6P on pre-order so you can get it with a charger built-in. I don't know if the charger will support rapid charging (no description available yet). They even have a 20% off sale going right now. http://www.proclipusa.com/mobile-device-holders/universal-holders/universal-phone-holders.aspx

Just had the Ipow Universal One Touch car holder

Always been a bit skeptical about the cd holders and was very surprised how stable this one is, looks great and has a nice soft finish, really holds the N6P well without any wobble.

I just picked up a Koomus Magnetic mount and so far this thing is awesome! It's very stable and it doesn't block the fingerprint reader so you can unlock the phone easily. I was skeptical of magnetic mounts, but after going over speed bumps, bumpy roads and sharp turns without any problems, I have no doubts about this mount. I also love the one handed operation and how it doesn't block the volume and power buttons like regular mounts do.
Here is the mount

Here are some additional pictures of the product as well as a comparison to the old style with the phone mounted in my car.
