Motorola used to be the one company that you could rely on to have car docks, home docks, and other accessories for every phone they released. The OG Droid, the Droid X, the Bionic, all of those had docks available at the same time as the phone. Where are the docks for the new Moto X? I can't even find any 3rd party docks. My docks for the old Moto X don't really work all that well, so now I'm left with nothing.
Anyone know of any good docks, home or car?

There's a number of fine universal docks that look to be the solution for this phone. I googled it and searched Amazon top sellers to see several options, mostly aesthetic taste which you buy.

I recently ordered a Droid Bionic phone to start new Verizon Wireless service. What exactly is included in the box with the Motorola Vehicle Navigation kit? I'm asking this because I'm under the impression that there are several different versions of the kit being sold. I've heard that the dock sold through Verizon does not include a rapid charger. I've heard that the version sold on Amazon's website does not include the Y adapter for connecting the Droid Bionic to a car stereo's AUX input. I'm very confused and would like to know if I should spend the extra money to buy it directly from Motorola or if I'm safe to buy it somewhere else for less. Motorola's website doesn't say what's in the box and their live chat reps won't tell me either.
I know there's a one x dock that's supposed to hit the market, and I'm assuming/hoping we'll get the same treatment, but how about aftermarket accessories? Anyone have any tips on very good generic car docks?
In very short: Buy this USB Cable, you can find here.
Buy any cardock else, that suits your needs, e.g. igrip HRX kit which you can find here.
You'll have a solution as with HTC's original equipment but of more value, as the holder can be reused..
I bought the original HTC One S Car upgrade kit CAR D100 for about 50 € and am using it for nearly three weeks now. I wouldn't do that again for some reasons. Atm I'm preparing a little review of it, which I'll post here in this thread. Due to a lack of time it will take two or three more days.
Just wondering if the PQLTE is compatible with the P4G car dock by Motorola. I see P4G's are running for $21 (and also comes with charger and cables) on Amazon, while the PQ's is running for $48.

I wouldn't think so...I own both phones and the Q has the ports at a different location on the side of the unit...but hey, why use the dock??? Just use the cables, cut the plugs for the USB and HDMI out of the dock and plug them in! Would that work?
Moto Q stock with Arrrghhh's kernel v.0.10

I bought the PQ LTE nav dock off ebay.
Funny, looking on the motorola website there is no dock listed for this phone. There are some docks it looks like would work with the phone though. It obviously all depends on the where the ports are located but I think some othe rmoto docks may be interchangable. Hopefully someone more knowledgable can chime in.
The part number of the original 'Vehicle Navigation Dock For Motorola Photon Q' by Motorola is KPM5778Q.
Yes, it's not listed on Motorola pages any more.
I'm using one and I'm very happy with it.

Thanks for the part number I looked for it earlier briefly to no avail.
I have had both phones and can tell you that the original photon and the lte docks look mostly the same but the connectors are in different positions. I think the one for the original was actually a little better constructed too. FYI i just did a search on amazon for photon q car dock and it was there for $50
You don't need to go through Moto to get it anyway....I got mine cheaper through an online retailer. This is the cheapest place I can find it right now via a Google Shopper search:

I still can't find any good docks that work with the 2014 moto x. I've looked on Ebay and their is some, but they are in Europe and the shipping time is like 2 months. Has anyone found a good one?

2 months shipping, are they sending it by rowing boats?
It would seem
Still no docks what so ever man they sure don't make many accessories for this phone....
Proclip universal should work.
I found a universal one on eBay, but the issue is that the micro USB plug is long and the phone rests solely on the plug. It's not horrible because the dock has a back that the phone rests on, but I'm still worried about one of my kids knocking into it and something breaking. I do miss qi charging in this respect. The N4 orb was a nice little dock of sorts.

Yes, anything by proclip or brodit are top notch. I have personally bought the universal dock which is able to pivot for adjustable viewing angles, as well as adjusts the size of the dock for different phones. I've used a moto g , moto x, note 3, lumia 1520, and all fit perfectly ! Highly recommended!

Hey all, recent got one of these phones and was just thinking I should grab one of those wireless charging style backs. But now that I'm looking they appear discontinued? No one shows stock, and everyone on eBay wants 60 plus shipping for them. So any one have a better suggestion on getting wireless charging on this thing?
If you're in the UK, Vodafone has them in stock for £40. I got one and really like it, it's the grey fabric and looks great!
If you're stateside, you might have some luck at some Best Buy brick and mortar stores. Despite what the website says, some stores DO have it, albeit in very limited quantities due to lack of real demand, not to mention they were giving it as a freebie for those who bought the Moto Z, Moto Z Force, and Moto Z Play from them unlocked (which was how I even got one in the first place). eBay obviously has it but prices are going to be sky high. Heh, reminds me of when I had an LG V10 and the wireless charging back LG sold for it wasn't available in the US and would usually be sold at the low low price of $59.99 but I managed to nab one from a seller for $35 bucks.
Other than that, you're pretty much out of luck. If you really want wireless charging, get that Incipio battery mod that includes wireless charging or the TUMI one if you prefer. Probably better than the wireless charging back since it works with the Verizon bumper case though it probably doesn't have the 15W Qi fast charging capabilities that the style shell wireless charging back does.
wireless mod from motorola
I could not find the wireless mod either, until i did a web search and found a link to the motorola site. Sure enough i placed an order for $37 and it went through, even though it would not show as an available item on the site when I was looking on it. Just got confirmation email - be here in 5 days. Try this:

The floral wireless charging mod is now available on the US Motorola site for a clearance price of $20. Get them while you can.
