In car usage

The Polaris comes with the HTC unique connector combining both USB and headphone sockets in one.
My problem is this: How can I slip the Polaris into an active mount (such as a Brodit) as well as connect to the car stereo using an audio lead?

From the Brodit web page about the active holder for the Touch Cruise:
The active holder charges your battery when it is in the holder. The charging device connects to the PDA automatically when you put the PDA in the holder. The holder is attached onto a tilt swivel and can be adjusted in order to avoid light reflection. Connects to the vehicle´s cigarette lighter socket, 12/24 Volt. Attach onto ProClip Mounting Platform.

So it seems that it is not possible to connect the device to audio while it is in the active holder.

This will do the job:

The problem I see is that when you use a splitter (and I see that HTC themselves supply one: Y Cable) you need to connect the splitter into the bottom of the Polaris, but you can't then put the Polaris into the active holder.
The only solution I can see is to use a passive holder, but this then makes everything a bit of a fiddle.
Anyone got any other solutions?

Are there no Artemis users out there who have already solved this problem?

Pass Through Car Holder?

Hi there,
I've had a few phones and a few Brodit Car Holders. Not sure why I've stuck with them, but never had a bad experience with them, so why not. The best holder I had was for my iPhone, it had a Pass Through connector so I could plug any device in the bottom and play it through my Parrot Car Kit as it synced with the iTunes on the phone.
As the car kit has a USB device support on it, I'm wanting to get a Car Holder that has a pass through connector at the bottom so when the phone slides into the holder, it always plugs into a Micro USB part, but then I can plug any USB cable into the bottom of it.
Anyone had one of these or knows where I can get one from for the Desire?

Nobody had anything like this? Nobody looking for anything like this? Surely there are some people out there that have...

I couldn't find one either, ended up going for the active brodit. If your wanting the usb for music can you not make do with bluetooth streaming?

Yeah, its an option, but the usb part was good as it allowed me to flick through my albums and everything, like it was just playing an iPod.
Might get the passive holder and adapt it myself.

Or I guess if you get the active holder you can just cut off the charger plug and wire up a USB plug instead... so long as all the wires are there.

I think it only has two wires there though, for power. I used to love it when they made pass through kits with the old Nokia holders.

nevermind, found this one which will do for me, it looks similar to the Nexus One version, but obviously without the dock pins at the bottom...

Desire car dock with USB

Hi guys,
I'm looking at getting a car dock for my HTC desire, which docks into the USB on the bottom of the phone then allows me to run a USB cable to my head unit. The closest thing I've found at the moment though is the Brodit Active cradle, which only allows me to charge the phone.
Considering the number of desktop cradles on the market, I would have thought at least one company would have come up with a car dock that allows you to connect to your stereo?!
Thanks

[Q] Dock for Car

Hey guys,
i need some help / ideas for the best solution for my "docking"-problem in my car.
I have a bmw and since there are no snap-in adapters for htc i have to go over audiojack for listening music with spotify and i can't just put it to the place where the audiojack is because i have to control music with the touchscreen (iDrive 1 so no bt-audioplayback/control...).
Now i got 2 problems:
1. the cable looks ugly when its plugged in the phone and
2. i have no idea where to place my holder because every place i put the ugly holder the car looks cheapy.
So, my idea is to go over the pogo-pins!
Yeah pogo-pins but i don't know the assignment of the pins so the solution would be the cr s650 dock.
BUT! i think i my car won't be able to provide enough power through usb (is it possible to power the dock with usb?!).
The plan was to place the dock (please see the attachment) in the red circle and put the cable under the cover to the usb charger and the audiojack.
And also i have to modify the dock so i can plug in a jack into the dock or just solder a cable or whatever...
So my questions are, do you think this will work? And what problems i will have implementing this? Any other better ideas maybe?
Thanks for help and sorry for my bad english i think

No ideas?
Sorry if this post comes to early

I have no idea about the pogo pin dock, but I would avoid making any permanent modifications to a BMW and deal with the ugly look...it will decrease the resale value...you could always take the dock down when not in use (which is what I do)
Regarding the pogo dock, Make sure that the phone stays still and will not fall off the dock with some hard driving.
Not the prettiest solution, but I use this: http://www.amazon.com/Mountek-nGroo...1131802&sr=8-1&keywords=cd+player+phone+mount
and just hard wired a power cable behind the dash (as to not have wires all over coming from my cig lighter)
The reason I went for that dock is because the phone is a lot closer and more accessible vs mounted to the windshield or elsewhere...also, regarding your proposed placement: having it down by the gear shift while driving would be pretty disorienting to me using GPS

Car Dock

Just picked it up and works great. Holds on nice and strong. When used with a 15watt charger it charges pretty fast. If you need a car mount this is the best one we can get.
Some basic info for those who want one.
No charger. You will need any car charger but 15w will be best.
No usb cable. just a usb type c
Can be used with android auto or just like normal.
Can be used on the go for for a 3.5mm jack. That is bulky. You can also remove the mount from the back and remove the release tabs and make it a bit more useful for that but its still bulky.

Did you mean to include a link or name of the car dock?

I have one of those docks that are magnetic whish is great because with this phone there is no need to add the magnet with the adhesive the phone just sticks straight on it. I love it! It's also a lot cheaper than buying the car dock.

so you have to plug it in for it to charge?

I had one to. But it did not clamp on the vent to well. This dock has a thumb scre so you will rip the vent out before it slides off. Also gives you a 15w charger "charger and cable required" as well as an aux out. Plut it up and android auto will instantly launch. Great dock well worth the $65

Got mine on Sunday, works great!

Can you control the next or previous song from the car steering wheel with it?
Kind regards

The vent clamp attaches to the dock with a ball correct? Can you measure the diameter of that ball fit me? Thanks.

Over Bluetooth you can if your radio supports it.
On another note, anyone have a cheap recommendation for charging my phone in the car super fast? Also does this dock support data transfer or only power? I have an avh-x2700bs and being able to use the dock for appradio one would be super cool.

This one activates TurboPower https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01E..._SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=aukey+car+charger
As for controlling the car radio, I found about this smart cable with Android Open Accessory integration http://gromaudio.com/wirelinq/

What is so smart about that cable? Also do you know if this incipio dock supports data transfer via it's usb c port?
Should I order a USB-C to USB-C cord to go along with this charger? I currently have this and it's meh at best for charging but it does data transfer.

Because it has a built in chip that makes your car read the music player data just like having a USB stick inside (name, artist etc).
You need a Type C to Type C cable to activate TurboPower, the charger comes with one included.

That cable sounds cool! The charger you linked is only the adapter, do you have a suggested usb-c to usb-c cable?

The picture shows only the adaptor but it comes with a cable. Yes, C to C is the way to go

This has been my favorite moto mod so far! I have everything but the mophie pack and the projector. It's so nice to just get in my car, stick that right by the air vent next to my steering wheel, and I'm good to go. It's so smooth, really can't go wrong (unless your vehicle isn't so great with vent mounts.)

Does it work with a case on your phone?

FYI, the dock does not allow USB data pass-through. This means that the dock cannot be used with existing radio/vehicle Android Auto. It will only auto start device-only Android Auto.
I bought it to find out.
