I bought a Samsung Infuse OEM vehicle navigation dock a while back for my GSII Skyrocket and it work OK but the Skyrocket was always a little loose.
Today I put my Nexus 4 in it just to see if it fits and it does! It's a little tight but the phone snaps in and out with ease. Also the micro USB on the dock lines up perfectly with the dock. All you need is a Micro USB car charger and you are set! The dock also has a Mini jack for audio out but I haven't tested that yet. I would be shocked if that worked. I don't use it though because I stream audio to my car via bluetooth.
Here's a link to the dock so you know what it looks like, you can find it on ebay pretty easily.
Highly recommend it!

Fits any phone. I've decided there is no point buying specific holder for a phone. If you change phone you need to change holder as well..

I'm using one for the S3 that I bought for the Optimus 4X and now I'm using it for the N4. Fits nearly perfect (a small gap at the sides, but thats not a problem)

If you want to use the headphone jack you have to take off that thing on the top, but it's only clipped so you can easily take it off.

I've been using an Arkon universal windshield mount with my NS for a long time and am getting a second (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875999868) for my N4 (giving the Wife the NS), which is only 19 bucks w/ free shipping at Newegg. I've been extremely satisfied with it.
Mine has held up extremely well. It is easy to get the phone in and out; can swivel horizontal or vertical; has space for usb connector to car; holds tight, but doesn't leave a mark on the phone (totally firm and secure without being worrying at all); is universal so it will fit my next Nexus/Car; and has a nice flat surface to slap an NFC tag onto (turn Bluetooth on, switch to car mode). The only very minor issue (a non-issue really) I've had is that it has popped off of the windshield maybe 3 times in the past 2 years, but never with a phone in it or when I was driving; I'm pretty sure this is inevitable for window mounts. It only takes a few seconds to reattach and it is good to go.
Samsung's UNIVERSAL car dock works perfectly too.

Its a neat-looking dock that'll work with any phone between 4" and 5.3" and with the microUSB port at the bottom.

Does this dock block the volume rocker?
I bought one of these from RAM, along with the extra clampy hardware from RAM to mount it.
It should be showing up today so we will see how well it works. They make good stuff, but it can be pricey.

Please keep us updated. I’m also looking for a universal car mount
I have been searching for a universal type car mount that can fit both my Nexus 7 (in a Seidio Active case without cover) and also fit the Nexus 4 with a case/bumper or whatever. The compromise is that the Nexus 4 cannot be charged while in this mount. The search goes on I guess, but I am quite happy with it at this point.
I have found the Xenomix mount from Korea. Seems like the only place I can find it was from ebay. It took a good 10 business days to air ship from Korea to me in Texas. Anyway, the mini review and pics are below.

If you want wireless charging on the fly yes. Otherwise get any of the universal ones on amazon or ebay. I have an arkon, kropsson aero, and Xenomix. All work, but all have their flaws and benefits. You need to search around the accessories threads and read up.
I am very picky when it comes to car mounts. I hate how ugly all the universal mounts look with the large claws on the sides. I was spoiled by the original nexus one OEM car mount. I want something that looks like its made for the phone.
A couple of phones back I had a Nokia n9. While looking for a car dock I found one made for a Nokia n8. Get on amazon and do a search for a Nokia cr-122. This mount will fit almost any phone and it looks like it was made to fit your specific phone. Its expandable. It fit my n9, my HTC one s, my girls iPhone, and my nexus 4. Its great. And reasonably priced as well. I will get some pictures up as soon as I find em.

I'm finding this works well with the N4 (landscape) as the N4 has such a smooth flat rear surface (even with a XtremeGuard style protector on it). Famous last words... but I don't fear it will fall off. It really sticks, but easily 'peels' off . I just wipe the 'sticky circle' with a damp cloth periodically. It's not an adhesive, but feels like tacky glue.

I actually stick the above to one of these. Easy to move out of sight, and it doesn't seem to slide on the dash. Also NO damage to dash/easily movable between cars
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005OV8ND6/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00
I liked the Nexus one car mount as well, but hardly used it and sold it soon afterwards because I use cases and taking the phone case on and off is a hassle. But I guess if you are running a nekkid nexus 4, I can see why you would like the OEM type mounts.
I ended up using the proclip mount with the USB charger built in, and a Bluetooth adapter for the audio. All I have to do is slide it in and go.
After looking at the various options I too didn't like the bulky mounts. I went for the Mountek cradle and I'm really happy with it. Fast delivery too.
Here's something you wouldn't expect...
... the car mount that I use for my Samsung Galaxy S3 (which I believe was originally for the AT&T Galaxy Blaze 4G) fits the Nexus 4 perfectly! The phone fits securely, charges through the USB connector and exposes the headset port on the top. Unfortunately, you cannot use the USB audio out portion of the dock.

Not a fan of all the bulky car mounts neither. I already have other things mounted on my windshield and wanted a mount I could use with both my nexus 4 and iPad. Here's the DIY car mount I decided on.
Post count is not high enough yet to post links, but here is my youtube video of my custom $2 car mount. v=079mZbQjuQE
Mhh I wanted smth with wireless charging. So I guess I have to take something big.
Most of them are for smaller phones
I would prefer one that sticks to the windscreen like a satnav other than clipping onto the air vents
Well, I say best. I just need something basic, so cheap would be good BUT I'm hesitant to buy any non-branded cheap Chinese products from eBay in case they're really bad (don't want my N4 to drop and crack)
Cheers
I really like the iOttie 1 touch mount. 1 handed phone mount/dismount and the suction cup is ridiculously strong.

Agree, it's been outstanding. Sticks to any flat surface.
Capdase Car Mount Holder for LG Nexus 4 is not bad.
I use the one for the Galaxy S3 here. It is rock solid and is adjustable.
I only paid £10.95 from Amazon tho'
I bought one of these a couple of weeks ago: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/supergrip-universal-case-compatible-car-mount-p30552.htm
It's not the cheapest (£17.95!!) but it was well worth the money. I've had various naff quality ones that don't stick, look cheap or fall to bits. This one looks better than in the pics, looks good when the phone is in or out, sticks brilliantly (I've tried just on the dashboard and on the windscreen!). I know there's other alternatives that offer charging etc but for just a decent holder this one is better than anything I've had (and I've tried a LOT).

I use the same mount and it works brilliantly, tried plenty of others too, but it is the only one which doesn't wobble about/swivel or fall off on its own. Well worth trying. You can also find a few cheaper versions for around £5-6 on Amazon which look nearly identical, although I guess it is a bit of a gamble as far as quality goes then.
Thanks for the suggestions guys, do you all mount it on the windshield or find mounting it on the dash/vents is better?
http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/attac...ande-punto-test-drive-review-fiatpuntoilg.jpg
that's my dash (pic from google) so I was thinking maybe sticking it to the dash above the central air vents. how would I stick it to this? adhesive?
If you get the one I mentioned, it'll stick directly to the dash with the suction cup.
With some other mounts you have to mount a plastic disk (using double sided tape) so they suction has a smooth flat surface.
Whats the sticky gel on the 4th mobilefun picture? does it leave a residual on what you stick it on and does it get less sticky over time?
I wonder if anyone could suggest good airvent/grill car mount as I hate obstructing the windscreen. It should be low profile and be able to rotate in all directions. Maybe even universal as i still have HTC desire and use it from time to time as ive got different simcard in that. Tried looking for some but most are either in China or in USA and the ones I saw that I would like do not ship to UK.
Any suggestions? Thank you.

Having tried many over the years Brodit do the best holders IMHO. The adjustable iphone4 holder is a fantastic fit on the nexus 4 and u can adjust it to whatever case or bumper you have for a perfect fit. Mounting option is dependant on your car and though pricey the upshot is if you change car or phone you only have to replace half of your holder rather than the whole thing.
I bought this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Exogear-Exo...Phone-5-Android-Phone-GPS-Black-/130782407854
I've been very happy with it and it sticks perfectly on my car (VW Golf IV Variant 2001) dashboard which isn't too smooth and a normal suction cup would't attach to it but exomount would.
I use the $10 GripGo.. No issues at all, cheapest one I've found, and works as well as any other I've had. Yet it works with any device!
Ram mounts...
I've ran Ram Mounts for years, started with GPSr mounts, now I run a double mount, holds both my GPSr and cell phone on the dash. It's a modular system. Get the cradle you need, the mount type you want, and whatever arms you need to connect the two.. I use the same cradle for my GPSr units in my truck, on the bike, on the quads, all i do is mode the cradle and arm from place to place... But it can get pricey, depending on how complex a setup you run... But on the same now, you can get parts to rig up everything from a cell phone/GPSr up to laptop computers....
the Ram X-Grip I'm currently using does have a habit of adjusting the volume if the phone is centered in the bracket, but it's easy enough to offset the phone slightly. I've used the same cradle for my last 3 phones.
I'm currently in the process of mating a google orb to the xgrip to provide wireless charging in my truck without having to worry about the phone sliding or falling...
Been looking for a place to put my phone other than the cup holder. Went to frys to check out some options but wanted to see what everyone else might be usong and loving. Tempted to order the samsung one using the 50% promo. For anyone who has the samsung one...does it attach securely to the dash?

Another vote for the iBolt dock. Secure, functions well, doesn't obscure the camera, lets the S4 in a Trident Kraken/Otterbox Defender fit, etc... pricey but worth it IMHO.

It does not fit, but you can shave down soft plastic of the iBolt connector pretty easily with a x-acto/hobby knife. Or any sharp knife really. Took me 1-2 minutes to do. See my post with pictures here:

It mounts securely and it solid and it's easy to clip and unclip the phone one handed. Adjustment is also one handed via push buttons and you can rotate it to and from landscape without changing your adjustments. My S4 will be my third phone to occupy the mount.

I've tried all the better model of car docks and the Craigsdocks dock is by far the best, IMO.
http://www.craigsdocks.com/samsung-galaxy-s3-s4-note-ii-car-dock/
Charges, secure holding. Can put the phone in and remove it, all with one hand. No putting it in the dock and then plugging in the USB cable. Nope, this one is all done in one easy motion with just one hand.
A bit more $$, but it will work with any Samsung Galaxy phone. S2, S3, S4, Note II. So it's pretty much future proof as long as Samsung keeps putting the USB port on the bottom of the phone.
It also works with extended batteries and large cases. And billet aluminum. I just can't really say enough good things about this dock.

That's exactly what I was going to do, right flat on the base with industrial strength Velcro tape - don't use screws, just Velcro that thing right to it and it should work just fine that way, the CraigsDock has a very flat base on the back of it and would work great with the flat face of the ProClip vehicle mount! Just make sure to get all the screws set first, obviously, or else you'll have to peal back the one side of Velcro just to get to it. Use Velcro tape and not double-sided tape because then you can't work with it quickly or switch out components when you get a new phone as easily! PROTIP :good:
Has anyone here tried out a magnetic mount?
I really like the iOttie One Touch XL that I just got. It has a very strong suction cup and an easy one click lock/release mechanism.
I got it on a sale from Meritline.
I'd also tried another iOttie that's more compact. While the S4 fits it, it's near the end of the range so it's more of a two handed operation to put the phone in the holder. I much prefer the Easy One Touch linked above.
I've had an iottie. Works ok but with my galaxy s4 my phones has fell out a couple times. Worth the extra money for ibolt

Unfortunately this is a no-go for me as my CD player slot is behind my touch screen, and I actually use it, so this would not work for me. Thanks for your time, however.
I use the Bracketron Earth Elements Si magnetic mount, it works amazingly well. The magnet is easily strong enough to hold the phone securely, I've never had mine fall or shift even going over seriously bumpy back roads, and it has little feet that flip out for the phone to rest on that make it even more sturdy. You need to put a small metal plate on or in the back of the phone somewhere to give the magnet something to grip, I have mine under my battery cover because I use an S-View case but for you it would be even easier as you can just put the plate underneath your Spigen between it and the phone. As far as convenience and ease of use goes, I haven't found anything that even comes close! Once you try a good magnetic mount you'll wonder how you ever got along without it
Here's the link to the Bracketron site, like I said I use the Si mount but they also have a gooseneck version if you'd prefer.

That is WAY Overpriced! There's the same sort of thing on amazon, just type in "Magnetic Car Mount." 4 out of the first 5 are less than $15, and do the exact same thing.

This one seems interesting. I may look into it and go with it. It's a bit higher priced, but it has some extra features that seem nice.
will the iOttie One Touch XL hold the note 4 with it's UAG case, or it's to big for any car mount?
I'm not looking for a magnetic one or CD/vent holder. just regular suction cup, that can hold a large case like the UAG.

Hi Majin, the xProDock from iBOLT has just become available in a new version that includes a 2.1 Amp car charger with an integrated Bluetooth aux-out streamer & hands-free, see http://www.amazon.com/iBOLT-xProDock-Bluetooth-Charging-aux-out/dp/B00PPAQRUW/ This is awesome if you have a car-stereo with a standard 3.5 mm aux-in port but without support for audio streaming (so called "A2DP"). See this short YouTube video how the streaming part works... Because Android phones can handle two Bluetooth connections at once (iPhone can't!) you can set this little unit to stream music/gps to your car-stereo and have a 2nd Bluetooth solution for hands-free. They will both reconnect automatically when you step into the car... Always cool to stream Pandora, Spotify, iHeart etc. to the car-stereo
The xProDock includes a pre-programmed NFC tag so you can start "DockMode" automatically when you step into the car. The free Dock'n Drive App (link) can start Bluetooth automatically, turn off WiFI, start the Hotspot and much more plus that it gives you a cool interface when you drive. Of course you can download this and use it with any other car-dock too.
Good luck finding the right solution for you!

Thanks. Unfortunately for me, I didn't wait. I bought the other one last month on the 22nd. I really like it, and to me the only downside is I need to reconnect the Bluetooth to my car stereo everytime I get in. A small downside, however.
Thanks again, i'd recommend this one to folks looking for a newer solution.

I have a truck and the iOttie touch 2 is amazing I have a note 4 in a spigen case and it goes no where and could not say better things about it.
Did you guys tried this one?

I bought it for my note4 but since it comes withbtwo magnets i also use with my tab 10.1. Awsome stuff. No pain when getting in the car. Just touch the magnetic pad and it never came off. Best 20€ i spent. Give it a try. I was looking for years for something that worked half as good as this!

will the iOttie One Touch XL hold the note 4 with it's UAG case, or it's to big for any car mount?
I'm not looking for a magnetic one or CD/vent holder. just regular suction cup, that can hold a large case like the UAG.

Found a store near me that sells both the iOttie One Touch XL & Easy One Touch 2. both fits the Note 4 with good grip. but when added with the UAG case, which is pretty thick, the XL holds it better. still, it's not 100% fit with the UAG case, but will do the job. so i bought it, had the chance to test it and so far it's great.

Get the holder and then choose whatever base you want. I had one of the x-mounts on my motorcycle and the phone never came out unless I TOOK it out.
Might be MORE than what you're looking for, but.... *shrug*

I've always liked RAM mounts because they tend to be bombproof, rock solid. I got this one for windshield mounting my Note 4:

I really like the easy adjustment for different viewing angles.
Recommend the Bull's eye car mount, the world's smallest one made from the highest quality anodized aluminium alloy
