I already have a cheap docking station for my Desire, I was wondring if more capabilities are possible with a droid station?
Would there be any advantages of using a Droid docking station on a desire?
If I were to physically modify a Droid docking station ( I'm handy) to fit my desire, could software be written (or ported from the Droid) to make the desire use the docking stations' full capabilities? If I were to place a small magnet near the desires' magnetomiter, could the desire act like a droid with the proper software?

All,
Does anyone know where I can get hold of a BMW car adaptor for the inbuilt Bluetooth system (you know the one in the centre console)?
I have just received a 5 series and cannot find a suitable adaptor. They exist for iPhone and Blackberry but not for a Diamond or any other HTC device...
Can anyone help me?
All the best,
Sam.
also looking for this snap-in adapter
Hi, have you found a suitable BMW snap-in adapter for your HTC?
I have a htc diamond touch and also looking for an suitable adapter.
Please let me know if you found one
Best regards
Bart
I've just got a BMW and am also interested in a cradle for a HTC Diamond or Diamond HD.
In the last 12months since the above post has anyone came across a suitable cradle? I'm primarily interested in using it to boost the signal strength with the external antenna.
The closest thing I found was this DIY guide: http://forums.5series.net/index.php?showtopic=60462
I'm reccomending checking out http://www.brodit.com/
I've just used it to buy mount + holder (Molex version) for my BMW 3 and TouchPro2
It's working very nicely connecting to bluettoth sysetm, and what's more important just looks nice
I know what you mean. I am also looking for cradle adapter for HTC Desire Z to put in original eldow space in BMW5, but it looks it is not existing.

Hi,
I was wondering if this capability is possible on the Desire? Would it be possible in future? It would be nice to connect the desire up to the TV, a bit like the N900 to quickly watch some videos, pictures, play games etc...

Great question, and I'd hate to see this get lost in the shuffle. I'm no pro in this regard, but i know of no external-out from any of these HTC phones other than music, phone, usb data...
But I would love some XDA-dev whiz to write some gizmo that exploits some X factor inside the Desire that magically makes this possible
Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible. The Droid Incredible will have composite output and I think the Evo 4G has HDMI outut.
The Incredible and Desire are very similar spec wise and the composite out is via micro usb, I'm still hoping this can also work for the Desire.
Would be awesome if we could port the incredible tv-out option to desire.
But first let´s take a look at the hardware side
Could someone please take a look at the desires micro-usb port?
Does it share the same 7 extra pins as seen on this shot of the incredible micro usb port?
BTW "homemade incredible tv-out cable:
http://lanrat.com/android/incredible-video-out
Nope, Desire does not have those extra pins for video output. .
Wonder if this would still be possible to do with the normal Micro USB port. Not that is matters much to me as I don't even have a TV, but eh. lol.
Hey Guys,
First of all, sorry for crossposting, its just, im in a hurry. (fathers day)
I've been looking for a ACTIVE cardock for the HTC desire and the nexus one. I've come across the brodit active holder a couple of times now, and i think this is the way i should go. I'm thinking of ordering the desire one, because the desire is a bit wider and thicker than the nexus one. Will the nexus one still fit and charge in this? And will this trigger the car-mode application automatically?
Thanks in advance!
Lukas
I have one.
It will not trigger the car dock mode.
I don't have N1 so no clue whether it will fit.
However, if you have a bluetooth car kit device you can trigger the car dock mode when paired to that kit using an app called Bluedock.
Been looking all over the web for one, but all that seems to be available are the generic "one size fits all" type that cover the USB port when in Portrait.
Has anyone found one that allows The Desire S to be used in Portrait AND be connected by USB ?
Thanks
Yes, on ebay professional seller is rpas5404
mount car htc desire s
"support pour htc desire S" in french
Desire S can be used in portrait or landscape and be connected with usb cable.
the plate is compatible with the Herbert Richter mounting solutions
Herbert Richter currently does not manufacture the plate of the desire S
in France a seller is Cricel
For me, the best mounting solutions are made by Herbert Richter.
Excellent !!
Exactly what I was looking for - THANKS
Linky, for anyone else who needs one :

if you compare, you can see that this car mount is a clone of herbert richter product.
in this page, you have support for plate, suction cup, mounting air vent, support bike, etc.. for me it's better.

I had an entire car mount HR HTC TD2 and I still use my old attachment with the plate for the desire S.

Mini Arkon Slimgrip car holder mount for HTC Desire S
http://cgi.ebay.fr/Arkon-IPM514-Sli...4453?pt=UK_Holders_Mounts&hash=item35b20f9d55
You can plug the usb cable and it will be useable with other device as well.
If it can hep others.
it's a generic holder, not a special for Desire S.
Looks like a good find. Can you let me know how long delivery took, and what the quality was like when you get it?
Thanks a lot
Ive gone for the Arkon holder too but with the vent mount attachment. £12.95 in UK. As we have an iphone and desire s being used in the car this seems to fit both and also allow charging on both!.
Brodit do ones specific for the Desire S
http://www.dsldevelopments.com/brodit/holder/HTC+Desire S-Brodit-Holder.asp
Juste received the arkon .
shipping took 2 weeks but thé custom had opened the package.
It s working well with the desireS.
Very happy. Much better than the cricel one that i have for my hd mini.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
I got two holder for my DS, both can charge,and the second one is better.
because the first one can not allow a phone with a protect shell or cover.
and you can take the phone out from the holder easily with one hand.

i made one my self bought one those lase shells from brando, didnt like it much, so glued (and screwed) it to an older holder for a dell PPC where the holding shell was removed. so all holes are free, i can even use the camera as it has a proper hole for it and sticks to the windscreen
Try to find original HTC car holder with charger - CU S470. The best one you can buy! Sorry for not being able to provide link since this is my first post...
I have ordered the car upgrade kit CU S470 for Desire S from the official HTC website yesterday, and got it this morning. i think it's the best choice for your device. looks good and works fine
After 2 different holders and no good fit, I decided to tweak my old holder: it works!
car mount for HTC Desire S
what about one of these? It allows access to charging port through side grips.
There is one on HTC market...
http://cgi.ebay.ie/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190564591456 this one seems fine. tell ya when i get it
so got it and guess what: it's perfect holds the phone safe, all buttons and connectors are reachable, camera works fine too.
I know that Triumph is not the most popular model but was wondering if there are generic docks that would work with this phone. I am looking at the minimum the ability to recharge the phone while docked. If there is speaker that would be a bonus.
I second this motion!
I'd love to find a dock.
This is the only dock that came up in a search on amazon.
Dock
It looks rather generic, but it might work. Tonight I will compare the placement of the micro USB against the Droid X.
Personally I am waiting for the the Philips Fidelio.
