Ditto, ordered two (the lady and I) and then the Otterbox Defender. I got an e-mail saying ships in 3-5 days.
I posted this on the other thread but I guess no one has posted a review for the cardock.
I have the stock HTC One X car mount and it is not a joy to use.
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.
I guess it just comes down to the fact that it grips the phone really tight and there is not a "catch" to release. You kind of squeeze the phone into the tracks to place, and pulllll it out when you're done.
The good news is that the suction cup works really well. It's very stable and it had not fallen off at all in the last 48 hours, even when I am tugging on it to get my phone out.
The metallic joint between the suction and the arm doesn't really rotate except in a circle, you cannot change the angle it comes out at. The joint between the phone holder and the metallic arm is more mobile.
The phone uses USB to charge. The USB clicks into the bottom and works well. It comes with a long cord, I'm not sure how long but plenty to reach from my cigarette lighter to the windshield w/ comfortable excess cord.
I had been having some issues with the USB not perfectly fitting into the phone when I squeeze the phone through the tracks, but the track is so tight that I cannot maneuver the phone to get the USB to go in. Each time it's maybe 1mm off, but it's frustrating. Twice I had to remove the stand from my windshield to get it in.
Once it's setup, however, this is a very stable stand that will keep your phone very secure while driving.

Why they don't use the pogo pins (5 little holes on the back of the phone) confuses me. They put them there, but their own dock doesn't use them.
The Nexus One car dock I use is awesome because it connects using the pogo pins on the bottom of the phone.
Yeah I agree. POGO pins would get rid of the USB-aiming issues I am having w/ my dock now. I also think having top part to secure the dock will allow them to grip it less tight on the sides, resulting in a much better experience.
Yikes $60 for a usb cable/charger and buncha plastic. Don't tell me you guys are paying $60 for that?
for $60, I would expect it to have it's own audio out to stereo, even if it's with 3.5mm. I shouldn't have to plug in the 3.5mm headphone jack.
It should also be utilizing the quick dock connects.
It should be as simple as me sliding the device in the dock. THATS IT.
It should charge and output the audio through a 3.5mm that you can plug into your aux (and keep it plugged in).
pshhhhh $60??? It should be 19.99 AT MOST!!! with the feathers I listed above.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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...
So i found that if you get the Sprint version of HTC evo LTE car mount and unscrew the pieces and remove the charger port on the mount as well as the grey piece as shown in the pictures. It fits amazing! highly recommended if you have a otterbox commuter on your phone!
Makes a great dash cam..

How effective are the suction cups on your windshield when using this type of car mount? I feel like with all of that weight on it, the suction wouldn't hold very well, especially in hot weather...
Using this one on 3 cars.
http://www.amazon.com/Mountek-nGroo...e=UTF8&qid=1374163360&sr=8-1&keywords=mountek
Here's my mini review of the Scosche Power Mount:
I've always been a very picky user when it comes to car mounts. I generally hate the suction mount style because I think it'll fall off over time or the windshield glass is too far for my practical hand reach. I also hate the vent mounting system because... well... I want AC air flow. Then there's the cup holder mount... I like to use them for my actual drinks. Then there's the sticky pad mount... which I think gets dirty and loses its sticky pad property and that the dash is far from my reach.(I drive an SUV) So that leaves me with the cigarette lighter ports mount type, which has its own set of problems... Often times the mounting plug is round... so it will "spin slip" and sag your phone when set at an angle. Or that the plug offers such limited functionalities. So you can see my rationale in my picky-ness... lol
Then there's the flexible arm issue... sometimes the flexible arm is cheaply made and is too weak. The arm is too long/short/missing arm.
And... the holder cradle is bulky, non adjustable, no padding for phone, etc.....
But I have found this and am quite satisfied with it:
http://www.scosche.com/mounts/powermount-power-socket-mount-for-portable-devices
Let's go down my concerns and see how it addresses it.
- Plug has a triangular shape to help brace it against something to prevent "spin slip".
- Plug has 2 USB outputs PLUS the pass through cigarette lighter port. My friend can charge even if they bring their own fatty cigarette lighter plug charger.
- The flexible arm is made of tough bendable metal material and has the right length so the toughness can actually support the weight of the extended arm.
- The arm length is there but not super long. It's enough to extend phone to places around the dash from mounting port. I had to still crunch mine up (S curve) to fit because I didn't want it too far from the plug.
- The mounting cradle is a treat! It has a cool spring loaded mechanism to accommodate wide and narrow devices with click locking so it's actually secured.(squeeze in cradle arm to tighten on clicks. Push button in back to release and widen cradle arm.) The foam in the arms create the perfect soft squeeze to prevent slip. Well padded in all regions where your phone would come in contact with the cradle. It can spin 360 on a pre-determined clicks for portrait or landscape mounting. There are actually two little swivel "feet" that can either be hidden flush for landscape mode or extend to support phone when in portrait mode. (Tiny swivel feet are also soft padded!) The cradle is minimal in obstruction, so the common placements of ports on different phones are fully accessible.
I drive an Acura RDX so its a stiff ride and can feel the bumps of the road, which generally causes dangling items in the car such as the extended arm of a car mount to shake and rattle. I'm happy to say that I don't experience shakes on the car mount! Unless, of course, when I drive over large pot holes or go at high speed over speed bumps, which I would be more concerned about other things than my phone shaking in such instances. However, do note that my mounting arm is crunched up in an S shape and is not exactly dangling out like a fully extended mounting arm, so the shaking effect may have been reduced.
There are some drawbacks to this product though. (not everything is perfect)
- The USB ports only charge at 500mA per port, so it might be a tad low for some. However, in practical use, I find that it is enough to overcome the power drain of when I use Navigation and screen on all the time. So when I get out of the car, my phone had increased in charge %.
- It doesn't come with any cable, so you'll have to use your own. I find that the retractable cables work best for length adjustments.
I've been using this for over a year now. I used an iPhone 4 with it and now I'm using my Galaxy S4 with it.
I also bought one for my nephew as he had been complaining about his vent mounting cradle. He's very happy with it!
PS. I'm not in anyway affiliated with Scosche or benefit from advertising for them. I just feel that my search for a perfect car mount can satisfactory end with this device and I thought the OP of this post (or anyone in search of a car mount) could reap from the fruits of my... labor. lol

Don't have pictures right now but the basic Samsung car mount kit works really well. The mount is pretty sturdy and the phone is held very securely. No annoying shaking of the phone while you drive. Comes with a car charger overall pretty solid piece.

Here's what I did. I have used it with my Streak, Note, and S4 now. Anxiously waiting for an Otterbox to become available for the Active, but in the meantime maybe this will help. It is not the cheapest solution, but being universal, I've used it with 3 phones now over the course of something like 4 years. I no longer need to buy a new mount each time a new phone comes out. I have one in each Jeep, and none of the phones have never fallen out of them, and it is a very solid mount (almost no vibration). Some Jeeps I use a windshield suction cup mount, and some the Proclip as shown here.
The parts I used on this particular one are the following:

http://www.proclipusa.com/dashboard...7-2001/proclip-center-mount-852459-13093.cmsv
On the ones with the windshield suction cup I use a longer arm
http://www.rammount.com/CatalogResu...d/082065077045066045050048049085/Default.aspx
And of course the suction cup mount instead of the AMP screw down base and Proclip
http://www.rammount.com/CatalogResu...82065077045066045050050052045049/Default.aspx
I modified the X-Grip by removing the rubber pads, cutting off the original bent arms, and then bending new ones slightly further in, then painting and reinstalling the rubber phone holding pads. When I started down this path, RAM didn't have an X-Grip that fit the Streak or the Note in an Otterbox Commuter or similar. The smaller phone X-Grip might work with the S4, but I don't know. I know that this works, and works well. Hope that helps.

Per the forum rules, posing affiliate links is not allowed on XDA.
The best in my opinion is the Schosche Magnetic Mount (the small sticky version). It really sticks, and is convenient. But on the down side, you can't use the wireless charging with it.
here's a link:
I planned on using the cd mount that I had with the note 8 on the 9 but after it popped free 3 times in a row driving down the road I just ordered a mount from proclipusa.com. That worked out so well I ordered another for my other vehicle. No point in taking any chances with this phone.
These guys have a couple of different options but for me this is the best one for any phone.

Depending on where you put your metal at you can still use wireless charging. I have a magnetic mount on my car and two pieces of metal slapped on the bottom of the case. Holds both upright and sideways just fine. Wireless charges as well.

Brodit is Proclips on this side of the pond. I agree it is one of the best I have ever used. I do wish the note 9 holder came with the clip for the charging cable like the one in your video.

I need to move it down, and use 2 of the smaller one. Since I wanted it to also hang sideways I used two plates to have more force to hold the phone in place. I looked at the video of where the wireless charging pad is on the phone so there is some wiggle room.

thanks, i actually found this https://bit.ly/2CZ4xiZ i can see that the metal plates are quite thin and can be put on the closer to the side of the case. so hopefully this would work.
My only problem with this is it's not fast wireless charging.

I can't see it page is stuck on shipping
Keep in mind (main reason why I didn't look at wireless charging for the car) if you have android auto and other things running the wireless charging couldn't keep up on the charging. That is why I just plug in if I am going on a longer trip and short trips just quickly mount it. This phone has done amazing on battery life.

I'm using a Proclip mount with an iOttie easy one touch 4 head and it works fantastic.

Interesting.. can you send a photo please?
get the iottie wireless fast charger car mount.
I've had this mount for a few years now, even bought a new one when I bought a new car. Simple, easy to use, it works well, and it's only $9.

This is a good one; It's almost identical to the Schosche, but it's cheaper and comes via Amazon. The one I use is just the one that comes from Walmart. But yeah, I've ordered one of these also.
For those with the magnetic car mount. Does the magnet not effect the s pen anymore? I remember seeing the old notes loose sensitivity or touch with the s pen when a magnetic case or mount.

Not that I've noticed, I do notice my screen comes on for an off screen note sometimes when I put my phone on the magnet a little to the left.
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...
Nobody has a pony in this race?
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.

Thanks Gottria, I'll look into it :good:
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.

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.

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.
