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.
Hi all,

A bit expensive considering their active car holders are usually £33-ish.
Will defo get one when it is available in more places!
If anyone has got one already, please post a review
Thanks.
i have a Brodit passive holder....
just a quick comment on it..
I have had a brodit holder for every PDA i have had for the last X amount of years and have never been unhappy in the least bit...
When i picked up the holder for the TC from the local shop here in Sweden, I looked at it and said "boy that looks tiny".... i thought maybe my head was playing tricks on me...
i took it out of the package at the counter and tried to shove my phone in it.... I would have needed a crow bar, and elephant and some butter to get it in there....
luckily the shop that i bought it from also doubles as a car stereo installation/ car mod shop.....
one of the guys from the shop was there and whisked me into the back and got out his heat gun and heated it up and together we made it fit to a T.
now it is perfect and i love it....
(i wonder, did brodit try to make this only with dimension from HTC, or had they an actual unit during their manufacturing process???)
anyway now i am once again a satisfied Brodit customer....
Proclip
I just got my holder yesterday. While tyhese are a little more than all the others I have seen it looks to be about the best holder I hqave ever had. I had one of the cheap ones off ebay and it broke already. This one seems to be very well made. They offer a few different models for the TC. With or without tilt or charger. I got one with the tilt and I like it. For what these phones cost it is worth it to get a quality holder for the car.
This my carholder-active, orginal for P3300
I got the Brodit as well as I've used them before and they are really well made....that is, except for this one which is as tight as you like. The o2 orbit2 does not fit it properly and I'm now having to debate sending it back vs. finding someone with a heat gun !!!!
In fact, I returned it and have just received another one....problem is that this one is even tighter. Will now have to find someone with a heat gun !!!!
Mine is a tight fit too but far better than the one I had for my last pda. If it isn't tight it buggers up the mini usb connection. The fitting kit for the car works fine too but it would have been better if the curley cable was shorter and the straight bit from the mount was longer just to make it easier to route the cable.
If you're looking for a car holder for the touch cruise, go to best buy in the auto dept., look for one made for the iphone and ipod both. It is around $12 and clips onto your air vent. The cruise fits in it perfectly.
For those who are looking for a car holder for their TP2 and can't find one yet, I have made a useful discovery.
The Brodit TyTNII Holder actually fits the TP2 better than my TyTNII ever did!
http://www.dsldevelopments.com/brodit/holder/HTC+TyTN II-Brodit-Holder.asp
I tried it last night and it slid into the fixing nice and easily.
The only issue I had was that I have an active holder, so the miniUSB connector wasn't lined up and so wouldn't charge the phone. I'm sure with some careful modification it wouldn't be too difficult to sort that out though!
I'm now in two minds as to whether I even bother getting a proper TP2 kit when it's out!

Depends, you can just screw it into your car, but I use the Brodit Proclip which is different for every car. Mine hooks around the side of the radio and into another groove and is very solid, then the holders screw into the proclip.
Proclips are probably the best way forward, no holes in your car
I have a dashmount kit from www.dashmount.co.uk as the proclip from brodit doesn't seem to fit my car correctly.

I have the passive brodit holder for the TYTN II, but TP2 doesn't fit without scrating it.
seems to fit in my origional htc trinity carrier perfectly, only problem is i cant charge it lol so ill have to get a new one eventually
thank you for the tip!!
I have a Brodit Active holder for my old P3600 (Trinity) and it fits real nice...
After some modifications (I cut off the USB part, and super glued it back on at the correct place to fit my TP2) I now have a Brodit Active holder that I can use again!
No scratches what so ever!!
(saves me about €50 )
^Good Tips...Brodit has always been my favorate car holder for all my devices!
do you know when the TP2 model will be released?
thanks
asked brodit and they say later next week...
Brodit holders now available. Just got to wait for them to filter to your resellers now.
Active: http://www.brodit.com/productinformation.jsp?anr=512021&sortiment=null
Passive: http://www.brodit.com/productinformation.jsp?anr=511021&sortiment=null
As I have already said, looks more or less identical to the Kaiser mount with a central support.
A word of warning to people buying, I had 2 active Brodit mounts that killed 2 different Kaisers because the charger unit was dodgy.
In the end I got another replacement from Brodit but I was too cautious of them by then, so I hacked an official HTC car charger into it.
I am personally gonna get the passive holder and use my HTC charger as I'm not going to take the risk again.
The htc supplied trinity/m700 one fits a dream but needs the bottom cutting out a little as the plug socket is in a different location. Damn good sturdy mount as well.
not sure I'll be getting any until it is confirmed that the pins are aligned and the phone does charge when using GPS.
I had issues with the Brodit one for the Kaiser and when it never worked they blamed HTC

Hi, yes I saw those I am leaning more towards the active one though.
Thanks anyway.

I ordered a passive mount this morning and a new proclip to see if they ship the right one this time!
I'd try and heed my advice about the active mounts. At least wait until some other poor guinea pig has tried one!
I asked HTC This:
Is there an option for the HTC Touch Pro2 with the HTC 3-in-1 connector bundle?
Or is this compatible:
Set A
- 513021 Active Holder, Tilt Swivel
- 945011 Adapter Cable
Set B
- 512021 Active Holder, Tilt Swivel
- 945011 Adapter Cable
In terms of connecting my HTC touch Pro2 to a charging unit (built in the car) and also using the AUX out of the device via the mini-USB.
I want to know if the 3-in-1 cable/connector is able to be “plugged” in into 513021 of 512021
They answered me this:
It will also come a 3-in-1 holder for this device. The item no will be:
519021 short cable
520021 long cable
I hope those will be ready within 2-3 weeks.
One thing that you need to keep in mind with the 3-in-1 cables in that if you plug it in, the external speaker gets disabled. therefore if you're planning on using the mount for satnav, you'll need to hook it up to an aux-in on your car speakers in order to get any sound!
Hi all.
I'm looking for a car holder for my TP2. Can anyone make a recommendation? I'm UK based and I'd rather not pay silly amounts on delivery other than that I'm open to all suggestions?
So far I've seen and like the Boxwave car holder. Only problem is they're a US company and they charge quite a bit for non-US delivery.
Thanks in advance
I have this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Brodit-car-...?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1254855076&sr=8-24
I combined it with my Richter holder (this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/HERBERT-RIC...3?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1254855152&sr=8-3 ) because I had a HTC Touch Pro before.
I have the CM929-S: Swivel Vent PDA Car Mount from Arkon that I got from eBay a while back for around $10. It works pretty well with the TP2, and I like it better than suction-cup mounts because it won't fall off. Although, I do like the idea of a unit-specific mount if I could find one.

the Richter holder looks perfect!
Wait Spartan: The richter holder I posted is for TOUCH PRO 1 not Touch Pro 2! You can use the Richter "arm" (don't know the right word) and add the brodit holder.
if you are going to go Arkon, may as well go with the powered mount
http://www.arkon.com/poweredpdamount.php?selFeat=usb_mini
the speaker is fairly useless... the TP2 speaker is louder
does have 2 USB charge port though, 1 at 1.2a (fast charge!) and another at 600ma
a little thicker than the none power version but worth it
so you can charge 1 phone and another device... or a friends phone too
I combine it with a proclip vechile mount and its perfect!
I just got the box wave kit. The quality is good and you can fit the TP2 in landscape with keyboard out and portrait.
They dont give you a dash disk to mount on your dash but suction cup is huge should mount on any window. They also give you a HVAC vent hook as well.
I'd give it a 7/10.

I also have the Boxwave kit. Good quality. I have it attached to the vent. It was a pain getting it hooked up but once it was on it was great.
TP2 now functions as an easily accessible hands-free phone, mp3 player, and gps system. Man, I love this thing
I ordered this one

There were two on the site, and this one LOOKED less sturdy which was my only concern. Having said that, it turned up today and whilst I have not put it in the car yet, I am well pleased.
Much sturdier in reali life than the pictures suggest. Good selectioon of attachments etc. Way better than the ebay one I had for my Touch pro.
I was just about to ask the same question. Don't you just wish there was a genuine HTC one like the sexy HD2 mount...

I've been looking for the same thing, swivel capabilities is a must. Anyone find a good one?
Get a decent quality universal car mount (with the four prongs) and then just buy a cheap fixation for your Lumia. That way you can keep the mount when you eventually change phones... That's what I've been doing for the last few years...
I've got a telescopic Herbert Richter car mount which looks like it's the same as this one (http://www.ebay.com/itm/iGrip-Herbe...472900?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item48454f5744) and I've been very pleased with it. Unlike some of the cheaper ones I've had it has never lost suction and come unstuck. Most eBay sellers who have cheap Lumia 920 car mounts will sell the phone-specific part of their mounts separately for a couple of euros...
Well .. i dont like the universal ones to be honest because the ones i used never where as usfull as expected. will have a loook at the richter one.
Which car charger can you recommend. I am reading a few amazon.co.uk reviews and they are not to pleased with the ones offered
The one I use (and the one that looks like mine that I posted a link for) isn't one of those universal ones that can be adjusted to hold any size of phone... I don't like those ones either... The ones Im talking about just use a four prong system where you can attach phone specific "faceplates" like you can see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683631 so it looks like it's made for the phone you use it with... Sorry, it's not easy to explain but you should be able to get an idea of what I'm talking about.
does your one come with a car charger already?
got different from belkin etc .. just looking for the power part of a car mount now.
will see if i find a universal holder later
hrmm, not sure if we are allowed to post links on here...
anyways, i bought this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00AEO3U7W/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
took a gamble as there was no reviews, current review is from myself.
Its pretty solid, I tend to always buy ones for the phone as I'm not a big fan of the all in one mounts, and the nokia one i got for my partners 710 is terrible, won't even hold my phone just slips out constantly. I've got a car charger from maplin to go with it that does do a 1000ma charge as my old charger didn't charge the phone enough to keep up with navigon.
Its as solid as some premium brand mounts i've bought in the past, as good as you can get with one suction cup. (imo) how long it lasts is another thing, but for the price I thought it was pretty neat, a friend borrowed it and immediatly ordered one too.
Its very sturdy and the easist phone mount i've used to slip in and out, only thing that did initially put me off is the fit isn't 100% secure, theres very slight movement, i don't think its even 1mm, thought it would rattle but seems fine in the car.
well i just ordered this for my charging:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002C3AFHG/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
hope you didnt have this one
and i will have a closer look at the amazon offer, thanks
stead, look at the second photo of the one you bought, see the four prongs? That means the front panel comes off so yours is one of the ones that I was talking about that can be used with any type of phone (as long as you get the right front panel holder piece)... :laugh:

Ah, i thought you meant those univseral one size fits all ones that clamp onto the phone! everyphone holder i've bought has had the 4 prongs, but everytime I buy one I can never find just the phone bit on its own and just end up buying the whole thing again

I've very rarely seen them advertised on their own but if you ask, most eBay sellers who sell the dirt cheap car holders will sell you the phone specific attachment on it's own in my experience and usually for only a couple of euros including postage. Postage must be cheaper in Hong Kong than it is in France... :laugh:
Arkon Slim-Grip Floor Mount SM525-S
FWIW I have been using this model for about 4 years- first with my Tilt2 and now with the Lumia 920 (both without a case and with an Otterbox Defender case as the holder can expand). I had an older version for the Tilt2 which didn't allow for 180deg movement (you couldn't move the phone to landscape position while inside the holder) so when I got the 920 I was able to purchase just the Slim-Grip portion and keep the flexible pedestal part that I already had.
The 4 legs on the Slim-Grip are not permanent- they come in a little bag and you slide them into the body of the phone holder. The move left and right to allow for access to ports on the phone that may not be centered on the phone itself. It also comes with extra legs that are a different shape in case you need a different fitment for your phone (think they are shorter?). The bottom of the Slim-Grip is the part that moves- you push it down with the bottom of your phone and it expands enough to let you then push the top of the phone into the holder so the top legs support it. It isn't obvious from the pictures on Arkon's site at first but you will see a line running across the holder when you look at the pictures and that is where the movement occurs.
I am able to put my phone in the holder with one hand and, because the pedestal part is mounted to one of the passenger seat floor bolts, it's very stable. It's hard to move the pedestal to bend it to different shapes, which is a good thing, because it won't flop all over the place when driving. I can use the 920 without a case in it and with an Otterbox Defender, either way is fine. It allows easy access to the audio and power ports. My friends stick their phones in it too and it holds them just as well (iPhones, Galaxy S3's, Blackberry's etc......).The mount does not impede passenger comfort, however they may not be able to just flop their left leg against the center console because the mount would then be rubbing against the plastic and may leave marks, at least in my Subaru Legacy.
I have used this mount without any problems for close to 5 years now and everyone is jealous of it because it is so secure and convenient. I have no problems recommending it 100%. Good luck.

Forget about universal car mounts. Have a look at the products from "Brodit", if available in your country. There's a special mount for almost every car und a special mount for almost every phone and tehere are active and passive holders. i bought a universal-mount and will never again, buy any universal crap. Now gonig downstairs, mounting my Brodit

You can now order a specific Brodit 920 - un-powered, cig-socket, and hardwired. Excellent mounts, especially the powered ones - amazing how nice it is to just slide the phone in and not worry about fiddling with charger cables...

Do these swivel 90degrees so as to use the phone in landscape as well as portrait?

They swivel 360 degrees and are very high quality. I've got one in my car that I've also used for my Note II (different holder of course though). It was well worth it IMO.
brodit always had the best ones..
but i read something with "screws" and that made me buy something different for the glas
What did you hear, I'm curious.
Sent from my 920

Oh OK I understand what you're saying now; I thought you were referring to an issue like the screws scratching the phone or something like that.
I didn't have to screw anything into my dash. I had a mount that clips onto the dash and a holder which is screwed into said mount. Very easy.
