I'm looking for a car-mount that will fit the Wizard.
I don't want a speaker or any connectors, just a mount, preferably with lots of foam so it doesn't squeek and rattle. I also don't want a 'window sucker' model.
I've googled it but can't find anything that says it will work with the Wizard.
Anyone seen/got one that will fit?
Me to.
I've been using Brodit mounts for the last couple of years but I keep swaping cars (between my own and a company one) recently.
This is the most promising one I've found so far.
http://www.arkon.com/pdamount.php
I like the look of this one because when I get a better case (flip type) there should be room to mount with it left in side.
Nice
Good range. Arkon only do a 'sucker' windshield mount for the jam/k-jam though.
Still looking.
Is there a UK site with them?
Any ideas when K-Jam accessories will appear? I want some screen protectors and don't like cutting bigger ones down to size.
Boxwave do some screen protectors and do ship to the UK.

The Arkon kit CM910 has a vent, sticky Dash and suction cup mount included.

I think expansys do some Arkon Kit.

Edit : I forgot to mention that Halfords do a expanding Phone Vent mount I think it's about £15.
Brodit is introducing a passive mount early this month (presumably 1st half).
Although I have not found any retailer selling it at the moment.
Cool I''ve been holding out for that one But I might get a cheap suction holder for the other cars I use.
I just bought a cheap HR Richter mini holder while I await a Brodit active holder.
Doesn't make sence for me to buy a passive holder now and an active holder in a while.
Brodit has released their mount for the wizard. I started a thread on HoFo

I'm using a plain old simple magnetic car holder from carphone warehouse which works just fine for me. £5 from carphonewarehouse - job done.

Halfords has a universal holder for £14.99 that held my Vario very securely when I tried it in the shop and did not obscure the speakers or the USB port. It came with a window sucker and a sticky pad option. I'm not sure if there were clip or magnetic options as well.
Tesco have a universal holder for £4.97 that clips to the air vents. It was in a bubble pack and I could not tell whether it would open wide enough. But I don't suppose Tesco would object to a refund if it didn't, since there is no way to try before you buy.
Further to my post above I just bought a universal holder from a Vodafone shop for £5.00. It has air vent and sticky pad options and a slick/smooth adjustment operation - better than other units I tried for £10+. There is a gap at the bottom for headphones and USB charging if needed.
I don't like the idea of blowing hot air all over the back of the phone for hours in the middle of winter so I've plumped for the sticky option. I have yet to test it on the move with the Vario attached. I'll leave it overnight for the adhesive to stay stuck and then see how it goes.

I've got one on my wizard and it looks great. I messed the first one up and i stuck the wrong side down on the screen and it gave an oil kind of effect on the screen, i'm sure the peel off sticker was on the wrong side, anyway i binned that and used one of the others i got and now it looks and fits great. had it on a few weeks now and its not scratched yet.
my last boxwave screen protector lasted over a year.

Has anybody seen a car holder for the HTC Touch HD? Not the univeral ones which fit for a lot of different devices. I mean holders like the ones from Richter or Brodit.
I couldn't find any touch hd specific ... looks like these vendors are slow with expending their product portfolio!
As usual for every new phone, i order the Herbert Richter product
http://www.clove.co.uk/viewProduct....category=00394707-5A1A-4D70-98A5-4CD5F1638611
Waiting for avaibility....
so youbuy the holder bit (as you have linked), whats the other part youhave to buy (apart from the phone )
Brodit car holders are here
Hi there,
The holders for our Touch HD's have arrived at the Brodit-site:
http://www.brodit.com/?main=searchb...owModell=D0B8AFF1-0D4C-403F-AF24-7CBF0151CE61
I don't know about other countries/suppliers, but in the neterlands, www.pdaplus.nl says the will have them in 1-2 weeks...
Well spotted Nooky, not even on their news page yet! This is the one I have been waiting for. Any UK suppliers yet?
Can you also use this holder in landscape mode?

DSL Developments, http://www.dsldevelopments.com/. Very helpful and now have them available to order. How soon they'll ship them, no idea.
They also offer a 3-in-1, with:
- Mini USB for charging
- 3,5 mm audion for sound out
- HTC Ext USB for original headset
Surely, if it only attaches to ExtUSB the 3.5mm and the ExtUSB for headset won't work? Connecting a HTC Headset from Polaris certainly fails on HD ExtUSB...

Found them this morning, but 60 quid for the molex one? Bloody hell.. Getting the lighter socket one and will rewire it myself I think.
Hi,
Brodit relesed their holder series for Touch HD.
www.brodit.se
They are great and I use them for a while now.
Can be used in landscape

If you buy the "tilt swivel" version; you can.
The opening to slide it in will remain on the short side, so if you tilt the holder 90 degrees the phone is held by the upper and lower side and the left OR right side (with the usb-plug).
I have had several holders from brodit for my HTC phones and the phone is always held so tight (without scratching!) that you won't have to worry that the phone will slide out sideways when in landscape-position.
Anyone used the Brodit Holder with their ProClip Mounting over the vent? I prefer not to drill holes or stick it!
I've used a Brodit Proclip on my last three cars, brilliant fit every time, latest is over the vent. Recommended.

Yes, I normaly use proclip over the vent so that I'll have the phone near to me and in clear view.
Brodit has amazing produts made of very good and solid plastic. Not like some low cost holders that you might find.
But I think it all depends on the car you have. Brodit normaly has several sugestions to place the proclip, so I think they have it for everyone taste.

I've upgraded from a HTC Trinity (which came with Herbert Richter car mount) and this works very well with the Touch HD - it's a slightly tighter fit, but very stable and allows the car charger to fit easily. Thought some people may find this useful at least as a stopgap until the proper Touch HD one is available
Hi,
What about a good holder that attaches to your windscreen? The Brodit ones are all very well but what happens if you are using a different car? Say if you go abroad and get a hire car, will the brodit holder be able to transfer?
the previously mentioned: Herbert Richter car mount uses a sucker. i am trying to decide between that and the brodit. Herbert Richter car mount isnt out yet for the HD.
Do either of them allow you to use it in landscape as well?
You can buy a sucker for the Brodit too if you prefer (or additionally):

...until you want to use another car I suppose.
With my n560 I have been using a Brodit activ holder in combination with a Herbert Richter Mounting device for the window. Therefore you only have to buy an adapter-plate for approximately 5€.
I love using my hd to watch movies hooked up to aux input in my car,
I got one of these of ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-CAR-CHARG....c0.m14&_trkparms=65:1|66:2|39:1|293:1|294:50
its already snapped!
I want something that allows you switch between horizontal/vertical and tilt funtion for tomtom and core player
I may try velcro stickers or maybe an air vent holder
any other ideas?
I have had 2 of these..they are absolutely rubbish, the insertion clip snapped both times. I have also tried another holder (universal one) and that turned out to rubbish too, I threw it away. Another time the suction disc came away from the arm. I have also tried my own custom made holder - I took a leather phone case and screwed it into the back of the arm attachment, that worked much better than the worthless gadgets of ebay. So save your money and forget buying from ebay, it maybe worth spending a bit more for a better quality item. And just yesterday I found my my xda orbit holder provided by O2 so using that for now which fits the Touch HD very well.
My side I buy that for my car Car Windshield Swivel Mount Dock for HTC Touch HD. At 5.60$ nobody can make better!
Work like a charm!

I had a universal jobby off ebay, that was a bit rubbish since where it clamped onto the phone it obscured the volume control buttons.
Ordered one of the HD specific designed ones and will see how that goes.

Brodit holder + charger
I have recently installed a holder and charger for my Touch HD and can highly recommend it!!
http://www.brodit.com/
The installation was somewhat easy, had to open the dashboard to connect it to power behind the stereo.
Pro Clip makes some amazing solutions. I have used them for years on numerous devices.

that looks really good
does the charger fast it at the fast htc charger rate, or at the slow usb plug rate?

Goes pretty fast. Haven't done any comparison, but I can't complain. I normally drive 45 minutes to work and twice a day charging is fine for me.

I like the look of the solid mount to the screen, but the holder looks a bit busy.
How have you found it?
Paul.
I got my own here www.mobilefun.co.uk
In this page you can find just about everything you need for your touch hd or any other phone... Bad thing deliveries are done only within the EU countries
The link for the holder i personally purchased and i'm 100% satisfied is here:
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/htc-touch-hd-car-holder-p19992.htm
If you are looking for something a lot cheaper that goes with a car charger in the pack you can look here:
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/drivesafe-car-pack-for-the-htc-touch-hd-p20932.htm (only difference with the first one is a little more stiff on adjusting method) but its still perfect and safe & both are really easy to adjust horizontally and vertically the phone & they are both built for windshields which means you can video type your driving
I suggest it without second thoughts!

Got the same one. Pricey but oh so worth it. I love it,and would def recommend it. I've tried the suction ones, and they for some reason keep falling off the windscreen, even with cleaning the surface/drying it etc.
The brodit just clips into your dash, and fit your touch hd perfect. They make mounts for every car.
I love it!!!
And it charges at a normal rate, just like a standard wall charger.
I have this one and it's excellent..
Brodit holder question
I have a cheap universal effort I bought from some motorway services - Im looking for a better solution - im using airvent attachment - its a three pronged affair which clips over one of the vent "stays". Its wobbly as hell - which is fine most of the time, except when you are attaching the charging cable. Does the Brodit attach to the airvents ? if so does it attach solidly ? in a better way than my three pronged clip ??
Depending on your car and which mount you want.
For my Xantia, using the vent beside the steering wheel the mounting plate fits in around the vent, between the vent unit and the dashboard body, rather than the cheapo ones that clip feebly to the vent.
At the moment I'm using two of the suction cup ones that people have had problems with.
Superglue is your friend (no, do not superglue it to the windscreen no matter how temping that sounds!).
The internal flange which holds the silicon cup to the base of the arm breaks up causing it to regularly fall off teh windscreen, some good superglue carefully dripped in fixes this. The other problem I've had is the ends breaking where the metal snake fits in, again superglue (pull back the concertina cover) in each end sorts this.
Ok these are things that should not go wong in a good product, but when they're available for a couple of quid shipped from China, it's to be expected, and thankfully easily rectified.
Has anyone got the details of a UK supplier of Brodit?
It has been over the month for my HTC Diamond 2, I want to get full case for it and do what ever is possible with it to maximize it.
What do you recommend?
I was thinking invisible shield full body. What else would you add to this list?
A mini-usb adapter probably, mini-usb to 3.5mm.
AetieQ is right.. mini adapter is really useful!! i got 1.. how bout capcase??
I think invisible shield by ZAGG is the most important accessories too.I got the full body last month.It is the best case I have ever seen.
Mine would be the hard case or at least a cheap leather case..
this is what i've ordered from amazon few days ago:
Desktop cradle - there are many variations, mostly different in shape. Note that htc cradles cost about triple the time...
Air-vent mount holder - for those that don't like the whole stick of most widescreens .
ZAGG shield - ofcourse.
And a car charger.

That link is for the Touch Diamond cradle, does it fit the TD2 ?
Am using the soft plastic body casings. I used to use the Silicone variants on my HTC touch but they stretch after a while and have to be replaced. They also trap alot of dirt. Just look up HTC Diamond 2 soft plastic cases on ebay, they are inexpensive and are excellent protection. I dropped my BRAND NEW TD2 yesterday and the casing protected the phone, not a ding or dent. That's my must have accessory!

DUH! I didn't notice that
But here's the TD2 version: http://www.amazon.co.uk/iTALKonline...4?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1253622044&sr=1-4
The car charger reminded me of something...
The other day I was leaving for school and noticed that my battery was almost out. So I remembered that I have a cheap USB-MP3-Stereo in my car so I grabbed the usb-cable from my computer and headed for the car. So I plug the other end on where the usb memory stick is usually in and the other end on my TD2. The phone prompted me on what mode to use so I selected the mass memory. As It turns out, I could recharge my phone at the same time I was blasting the songs on my phone out of the speakers. I was really impressed
My must-have accessories for my new HTC Pure would include the following:
--full body Zagg Skin
--Silicone body skin
--Carrying Case; my preference is a horizontal leather with both clip and belt loops
--Multiple USB to 3.5 mm adapters; keep one in the cars, on the motorcycle, wherever I may find myself. They're cheap and very useful
--Battery charger; either the rechargeable kind or the one that runs off a AAA battery that also doubles as a flashlight. I have both
--Several earphones; same idea as the USB adapters.
I have wired remote yet, just perfect. using my topaz as player without touching and turning the screen off... (using with pocket player)
hi i just purchased a touch diamond 2 .
Do somebody know if there is a bike/motorcycle holder mount that you can buy so it can fit my motorcycle on the handlebar?
I want to use the gps built-in my touch diamond 2 when im riding Any other ideas is welcome in this thread.
Hi,
Boxit waterproof case.
The D2 fits well and it still allows you to use the touch screen.
It is affected by sunlight though.
Regards
Case
okay not quite the answer i was looking for, but thanks anyway.
I have already found that one and it seems useful.
I guess i'll just have to use the car kit.
This one is for bikes, but you have to buy some krusell pouch.
Krusell bike holder

okay thanks for the link but it just dosnt seem to be my kind of thing.
have used my diamond2 as a speedometer/tachometer + gps logging
it works like a charm behind the windscreen of the fairing.
also tried to capture a video but the camera isnt that good.. or the v-twin shackes things up a bit too much...
dont relay total on the phone - the tacho disapears when some one calls..
