Hi!
I've been looking around here and there and can't seem to find it, so i figured it's time to ask the guru's
Has anyone found an active carholder for the DHD, which can be mounted either on the windscreen or on the upper side of the dashboard, so it can be used for navigating safely, without taking your eyes of the road?
Thanks!

You can buy the official HTC Car accessory from their website http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/nl/p_htc_item.aspx?i=205737

But this one is not active
What do you mean by active? That you can move it around, from car, or from its current spot?
Active holders means there is a jack to charge/sync your phone as it's sitting in the dock. This means it will usually have a jack to connect your charger to, or will already have the cables hardwired into it.
Passive holders mean they just hold onto you phone.
I'm also looking for one of these, except i need one that can fit a DHD with an Otterbox case around it

ah cheers for that
Does Brodit HTC-DHD active mount activate car panel?
Does the "active" bit also suggest that the 'car panel' app can also be automatically started when the DesireHD is docked ? I'm sure I've seen a setting somewhere within android that can allow this to happen. Does this mount qualify?
I am assuming some pins being pulled high/low etc in the MicroUSB connector when plugged in determine if its a car mount dock or not, so that normal chargers dont trigger the car-panel?
Edit : I've just sent of an email to: [email protected] and asked for clarification. Will advise here when I get an email back from them.
Cheers & Happy New year.
Edit : Response from brodit.se was that the cable does NOT activate the car panel.
Brodit HTC-DHD ... activate nothing at all..only charging :-(

I think you will have to use an HTC car charger USB cable. The one that comes with S400 brings up the car panel (I use Google's Car Home though) even if it isn't connected to a power source. I think it is the pin config at the micro-usb end of the cable that does the trick.
I'm more than sure than this has been asked before, But I've already looked at the forum and I found so many different models of car holders and blue-tooths that I already don't know which one might be the best one.
I'm looking for something nice hopefully minimalistic in design.
I already have a car charger with a double USB connector port so I'm looking only for the car holder and a good blue tooth device...
Thanks in advance to everyone, I know how annoying can it be to see some one asking something that it might have been answered before, really thanks.
I Hv the genius HTC desire HD car charger set (free with my phone) , it hold the phone well , only down size is I need to remove the TPU case every time I use it ...

Do you have a link to look at it???
Thanks in advance
I use a brodit passive holder with the the specific pro clip for my car, just looks nice and part of the car. For Bluetooth I connect to the parrot add-on for my kenwood set, 1amp car charger I wired in myself. A bit of work but saves trailing cables over the dash.
The genuine brand HTC Desire HD holder is very capable and secure; Clicky You can use the cable with another 12v socket with USB output; Cable automatically activates the Car Panel, which is useful.
I have a Samsung WEP870 bluetooth headset; Comes with lanyard-equipped stereo headphones which you can plug in to the headset, giving you a solution for music too. Sound quality isn't great, but ok for a walk to the pub.
Thank you all I will take a look
do any of you have problems with the phone not being able to see the cable correct? sometimes mine on car dock see the cable as cable ion car sometimes as connect to pc and sometimes a charger, really weird
I got a universal 1 from Amazon, fits any size. Great purchase.
The Modern-Tech In-Car Dashboard Mount is also very handy to hold the phone on your car's dashboard. It's adhesive, you just have to set the phone on the mat and pull it off later. It's not so great for charging though.
Have you looked into HTC Desire HD Herbert Richter suction mounts?
Where can I look at those???
Here's the link.. Aesthetically, I love the way this particular one looks.
Just wondering what the 5 metal spots running down the lower rear right side of the phone are for? A rapid charging dock??
I believe that's the dock charging contacts

Pogopin docking
On a related note... I noticed that the HTC Car Dock does not have the contacts for the pogopin. How does it know to automatically launch Car mode when it's inserted into the dock? Are there embedded magnets or something?

No there's something in the usb cable that triggers it, like an extra lead or something.
The car dock will not use those pins.
The car mode is trigged probably by an resistor between pins 4 and 5 in the USB cable.

Is this type of device even possible for an Android phone? If so, does it exist anywhere? I want to avoid using bluetooth (want to save battery) or FM transmission (want better audio quality).

I'm sure you still need to run an aux cord from the mount to the head unit lol. Just get a car charger and use blue tooth or use both a charger and an aux cord. Maybe I don't understand what you are asking. But those mounts would only come specifically for your phone because androids have their holes all over the phone.

Guess I'll just have to install this and get a mount:

Essentially what I already have but it's for iPod/iPhone.
Depending on what kind of car you have it might just be worth it to buy a new head unit that includes the use and aux connections. Check with crutchfield.

Easier and cheaper. Photo is actually of my car (Infiniti) ! Can mount on console to the right behind steering wheel and run wires down the crack out of sight.
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.
