Looking for a sturdy N1 car dock (not the htc one)

I'm looking for a sturdy Nexus One dock.
The stock htc car dock is too expensive for me, and kinda short. Besides, my headunit works as a BT, so I don't need speakerphone or the BT in the car dock.
The main point is for it to be not flimsy and, hopefully, fully cover the N1's back from the sun.
I did read the thread with ebay car dock, but people are saying it's bending on the sun and is unreliable.
Any advice is welcome =)

I've been using this one for almost 2 months now.
I'm in Phoenix and it holds up just fine under the sun. The suction cup is pretty secure. Only issue is it doesn't rotate unless you loosen the knobs.
I park in a garage during the day but at work my car is under the sun and when I go home, it's fine.

Is that a spring loaded clamp on the right hand side?

No, its just flexible plastic. That thing behind is to adjust the angle of the holder.
I used this one for a few months, it scratched some teflon off the bottom of my n1. The bottom holder part, below the back button, is quite sharp plastic.

Pro Clip mounts are the only way to go.
They may be pricey, but they don't looks like ass in your car.

but when you're driving a f.o.r.d..... well, you know ;-)
does that mount tend to heat up/freeze the phone when the hvac controls are set to maximum ?
i'm using a target blue light special. don't have the box, but it's got an arm about 8" long, rotates 180*, and is very secure both the cup mount and the phone. cool thing is you aren't locked into one phone or another. it has ratcheting arms that clamp the phone gently with foam pads.
i do like the low profile look of your mount in the mustang though. almost hides the phone completely from prying eyes.

I shut off the vent behind the mount when it's on heat. For AC I usually leave the vent open since it's usually summer and the phone sitting in the sun can get pretty hot.
I definitely close off the vent when the heat is on though, and with the vent closed, it stays a normal temperature.

@GldRush98
Would that proclip hold the phone with an extended battery? It looks like there is space behind.

How do you mount your phone in your car? Post Please

Hi, I need a new firm car mount for my phone. And I found 2 kinds of mounts, do you have the similar item. If you do, would you please tell me which one is the best choice or post your mounts here? Thanks.

(Updated: Bought the second one, and it works fine.)

This is what I use in my car. its a Spiderpodium, and they are incredibly useful. I had one for my Galaxy S3, Then I got another for my work phone (a tiny nokia lumia 610) and now t holds my nexus 4. Its stable, quick to slot the phone in and out and it is truly universal.

And they are cheap! especially if you get the unbranded ones.

I use this Mountek bracket that inserts into the cd slot. Doesn't block view of windshield and is easily transportable to other cars.

Great, seems quite firm. Is a adjustable one? I mean the size.

I use this: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-INFUS...S-V1B7BEGSTA/dp/B004WOBMIY/?tag=s601000020-20
Fits perfectly. There's a thread here too on how to mod it to charge faster (otherwise the battery drains a little during use.)

I bought a proclips holder and mount. It's expensive but perfectly fits my car and phone.

I use one similar to the last one you posted, 10$ from ebay, adjustable in almost every way. Put the mandatory NFC tag on it (also from ebay) to automagically start your car/navigation/whatever app when you dock it.

I use an iottie flex 2. It's illegal to have phones on windows so I attached it on the CD storage door on my car.

Brodit Proclip. I use a passive adjustable mount designed for the iPhone 3GS with case (sacrilege I know). Let's me use my N4 naked or with any case from bumper up with only minor adjustment required.

I second this. It is small and easy to use plus most importantly it sticks to everything without leaving any residue behind. I have a textured dash and this sticks just fine to it. Previously I had a Motorola mount with a smooth disk stuck to my dash so I could use the suction cup mount. What a PITA to remove the adhesive from the dash.

Thanks for you information.

I use a Samsung Infuse car mount, it fits perfectly. I originally bought it for my Galaxy S3 4G but after I gave that to the wife I tried my N4 in it and it was a perfect fit, better than the S3 fitted in there.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium HD app

I use low profile dual lock, its like Velcro but stronger and more durable, I have one piece stuck on the tpu case my phone lives in and the other on my Brodit proclip. A roll of dual lock costs about £5.
It is less obvious that it's a phone mount, as it leaves no suction marks on the screen etc.

I got this one
http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=108&cp_id=10833&cs_id=1083304&p_id=10257&seq=1&format=2
used sugru to mount it closer to me (I drive a truck and can't reach the windshield easily).

more expensive than most of the ones suggested, but this seems useful, since its magnetic...easy to attach/detach. the mount itself goes in the cd slot, so it's not in the way.
http://www.amazon.com/InfiniApps-Smartphones-Cradle-less-Quick-snap-technology/dp/B00DPMNNUO

Not really a mount, but i hardwired a wireless charger integrated into the lid of the ashtray. sorry for the poor quality video. not sure why it's flipped lid works just like stock!

Exogear ExoMount - Best Car Mount I have ever used

I dont see may people talk about this car mount so I though I would post this here. I have been using this mount for over a year now and it has been great. I started using it with my S4 then Note 3, One plus one, and now the Note 4. Is also one of the only ones that lets me still using a case on my phone. I am able to mount it on my dash due to the way the suction on this is. Its has been great.
I will try to get pics set up of its soon

Looks promising. I'm gonna look at this Ram car mount as well. Haven't had a car mount in ages and I want one this go round.
Edit: Both look bad ass! Anyone have experience with both mounts for a comparison?

I never heard of the Ram Mount till today. I will have to check them out. One thing I like about the Exogear one is that once you sick it to something, it never comes off. I never ever had it come off during the time I had it on the windows. I now have it on my dash in my new car and its the perfect area for it.

I have the Ibolt prodock and it fits the phone and holds it really good even if it has an otterbox defender protecting the phone. One thing to note tho (see what I did there), is that you cant get audio straight from USB any more, you would have to use and OTG cable and an external DAC.
I used this dock since the note 2 days and its been great!

Sticking to anything is what is interesting me the most. The Ram doesn't seem to have that gel like suction cup. I want to be able to mount this baby on my dash, yet have the versatility to take it out and use it in other vehicles. Ithink I'm gonna give exogear a try even though to Ram has a lot of options and looks very cool as well. You could actually use either as a dash cam if you want. It looks like neither blocks the rear camera view. IDK.

I agree about Exogear. I've been using the ExoMount Touch CD Slot Car Mount for about a week now, and the thing is great!
Really sturdy, no sharking while driving, grip is tight, and the twists are really good too. Would definitely recommend to everyone who needs something to hold the phone in the car.

Granted I'm ProClip biased, but I hate windshield, vent, and CD tray mounts. To me they look like junk and not integrated into the car's dash. I ended up taking out my Sirius because having it and my phone on the center console was looking a little busy. But that's just me. And if you live in cali, you can't have things mounted to your windshield I believe. Don't know if any other states have that rule.
And sometimes ProClip doesn't have the perfect mount option for the car, but that can be worked around. Their adjustable cases are the best out there, especially since most of us are throwing cases on our phone. I see all these threads every time someone gets a new phone. I've had the same adjustable cradle so check the original Galaxy days with my Epic. And my Note with a slim case just fits. Haven't bought a new mount in years.

Do you use a phone case and if so, which case?

Yes, I use this Spigen case: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MAWRQR6/ref=pe_385040_30332200_TE_item
If you're worried about it fitting into the mount, don't be. There is still room for another layer of a case on top of existing case.. maybe even 2 more cases on top

Decisions! I was set to go with exogear but that Ram tho! Aluminum grade construction and you can mount your ball sack if you buy the right kit. I'd have to get a separate adhesive for the mount, but this thing looks rock solid.

That one looks nice... but I LOVE this mount!!!
Sticks to anything and is hard to even pull off. The mounting system is easy too... push it an it locks in place. I have had 2 for about 1 year and not issues. I used to always buy the phone specific mounts, but that got expensive.
http://www.amazon.com/iOttie-Windsh...414678126&sr=1-1&keywords=iottie+car+mount+xl

Because I lease my car I don't want any mount that uses an adhesive. If it's strong enough to hold the mount & phone it will probably be very difficult if not impossible to remove without causing a mark which would be considered damage on a lease turn in.

I have not had that problem. I used to move my mount from 2 cars and it did not leave any marks on the dash. The one I use does not use adhesive. Thats why the exogear and the Iottie works to well.

This is what I use and I love it! Note, it will not work with all cars, but it works with mine perfectly fine.
The reason I say it will not work with all cars is because I have a friend who has a '14 civic sedan, doesnt work because phone would end up being too high, another friend has a '14 prius which cd slot is behind the nav screen which slides down, I have an audi and it works perfectly.

I deal with people with leased cars all the time. They buy the adjustable holder once, and of course the appropriate dash mount for their car. The mount clips into crevices in the dash so no damage is done. When you turn in the car, pop the mount off, buy the mount for your new car and reattach the cradle. Sell the old mount on ebay to make a few dollars back.

I hope Ibolt fixed all the problems they had with their dock. I had one for my note 2. Then they updated their product due to problems so I bought the new one. The new version has problems to and would wear out. That is why I changed to the Exogear one. Plus when I had it on my windows, it would full off the windows on hot days. never had that problem with the Exogear. I like the Aux hook up on the ibolt but once i got a 40 Apt x connector I no longer need it.
If anyone needs a good apt x bt to aux device take a look at this.

Best Car Mount?

Hey all, I'm looking for a low profile car mount, most likely one of the magnetic ones, I want to keep it OFF my windshield. I just got a new 2014 mustang and it has 0 place to set it. Any suggestions are much appreciated.

Dont know if you have the convertible or not but.....
i picked this one up. going to attach it to my headliner (top left corner) instead of the visor. trying to figure out how to run a power cable up to it if i like it there.

I just get one of those sticky sunglasses rubber thingys, cut it a bit and placed it on my steering wheel base near the dash. And cut a little piece for between the speedometer and tach. Phone mounts nicely there, like having a built in GPS that can be seen right next to the speedometer. When the phone isn't mounted, it cannot be seen at all.

I'll post picks later but I didnt mount it on the vents, I mounted it on the center voltage flap, I might decide to go with the steelie down the road, but for now this works perfect for me and basically free.

I'm currently using a car mount that you stick in your air vent, and then it's a magnet for you phone. Works really well, even with the note 4, for how heavy it is.

If you have a really heavy case, though, it might not work AS WELL, but it works pretty well.

I can't say that that is a universally true statement. There are some REALLY nice car mounts out there that are NOT iottie. I personally think that iotties are a little overpriced for what they are. There are equally good car mounts out there for a lot less of a price.

There is no equal when it comes to staying put on an uneven rough surface in -25c Canadian weather. Over priced yes but I'll take the peace of mind knowing my Note won't be lying on
the floor when I get back to my car or fall off while I'm driving.

3M double sided outdoor mounting tape does a better job in -40C canadian winters. and it costs a few cents.

I have used many different car mounts of all different costs, but this one is by far the best and not even the most expensive!

Car mount recommendations?

Can anyone recommend a decent car mount? My dash is textured, so the suction ones don't work, and I hate the ones that stick to the windshield.

Does your dash have enough of a flat spot for a weighted base? That's what I use in my car (a Honda Civic). The base stays put and then I can suction whatever mount I want to it.

It's a 2013 Hyundai Elantra, so the flat surfaces are lacking.

I see two options for you, then.
1) A mount that clips onto an air vent.
2) A mount that has a rigid/flexible arm that sticks out of the cigarette lighter.

A CD-slot mount would be perfect for that dash since there's no screen/buttons/etc above the CD. Amazon has quite a few to check out.

Try the brodit website

For me.. I would get some kind of wireless charging dock..one that's attractive (airdock, the Samsung one etc) and mold it in to the trim. That fo-brushed aluminum trim to the right of the push to start button would be my spot. Pop off that plastic, run the wires behind it and mold in the mounting bracket using advanced wood putty (its called wood putty but the epoxy kind is plastic, very hard and strong) sand and blend..paint to match..bam a seamless transition as if it was always ment to be there =) ..that's what my projects always turn in to lol

The magnet ones are good if you are using a case.

I was looking at the magnet ones. They have them for the cd slot too. Does the magnet affect wireless charging?

I got this at Walmart yesterday and it works great, http://mobile.walmart.com/ip/Scosche-Magnetic-Dash-Mount/37699955

I've had the Brodit for many years now and its brilliant. I bought one for my S3 and I can adjust it for each subsequent phones. Available on Amazon also but you do need the clip for your car and the holder for the phone. Worth the money.

May be you will like this product,
you can search ebay item id:201268839849
just only $4.59

There are lots of options if regular suction cups don't work:
Brodit makes custom mounts for lots of car models. You then have to buy the matching holder for your phone.
There are CD-slot mounts if you have a slot load CD player but don't use it.
There are suction cup mounts which work on textured surfaces like the iOttie one I just linked.
There are mounts which anchor into the 12 V plug or into a cup holder.
You can get a plastic disc that has a foam adhesive sticker on one side and a flat smooth surface on the other as a base for a regular suction cup.
As someone else just mentioned there are friction mounts which put a heavy weight on the dash..but those scare me. The potential for a heavy object to become a projectile in an accident is enough to stop me from considering that.
You can also use a combination of these solutions if there is something compatible (17 mm ball joint, AMPS plate) between the car mount and the phone holder. Hope one of those options works for you. I've had a brodit base with a number of things attached to it for the past 6 years.

I use the kenu airframe

The iBolt xProDock is my favorite:

I second the Kenu Airframe but you'll probably want the Airframe+ for this phone.

Is this compatible with the s6? I have one of these that I bought alongside my htc m8 and am waiting to hear back from ibolt about if it's possible to swap out the charging arm with one for the s6, or if I need an entirely new dock.

Can anyone recommend a decent car mount? My dash is textured, so the suction ones don't work, and I hate the ones that stick to the windshield.

The last dash mount I bought for my car included a flat plastic disk that you secured with the 3M 2-sided sticky tape. You mount the suction cup mount to that, and it's rock-solid.

I'm not sure if the Dock'n'Play functionality works, I connect and stream over Bluetooth so I don't use that feature. I just think that the holder itself is solid and my S6 fits fine in a TPU case. This and the previous gen, smaller iBolt are the two most solid mounts I've ever used.
