So as promised here are the pictures and a couple of videos of my transformer mounted in my 2007 BMW 335i. I used a Pro Clip and Pad Tab to install it. Also used a blackberry gateway to connect the audio via bluetooth to my car stereo. All the wires mess is hidden in the arm rest compartment. So far its great and sturdy as you can see from the videos, loving my transformer even more now

Looks Good. Nice work.
Kudos. I'm going to start trying to make a mount in my car that I wont have to attach anything to the actual TF. This looks awesome tho.
Wow this is def FTW. Did u have to glu that to the back of the transformer
NICE!
I'm going all out and building an actuating mount arm that rises out of a center arm console for trucks/vans/SUVs. I've got the design on paper now for the fun =]

I came across this just now...

I order the vent mount, and I'll let everyone know how well it works when I get it.

No its the Pad Tab. It uses 3m tape and is easily removeable with a a little heat from a hair dryer.
Awesome work dude.
Is it running on battery? And I take it you're tethered to your phone?

Yup running on battery as I can't find a car charger for now, and for this particular video it wasn't tethered to anything, I just put the destination while I had wifi at home.
Can u please update your post on where to buy that would be great

Pro clip for your specific car can be bought from www.proclipusa.com and Pad Tab can be bought from www.thepadtab.com
I might have to do this in my Challenger. Looks like they do have the vent attachments for it.
best part of this thread was now we dance alors remix in the vid LOL
I'm hoping to do this today actually. I have an 06 325i. I wanna mount my nook color. Can you help me make sure I order the right parts? Looks like the pro-clip site makes it sound like I need a mount and a holder. Did you simply replace the holder part with the pad tab?
I know this will come across as lazy rather than cautious, but would you be kind enough to help me get what is needed for the nook color? I'm really hoping this isn't going to be a pain in the ass with my car being a 6 speed standard.
Awesome work. I've been drooling over this since you posted it!
So I just ordered the pad tab for $25 shipped.
Then it's only the MOUNT from pro-clip that I need, NOT the holder right? If so I'll be good to go

Yup the Pad Tab replaces the holder, We have to go this route because pro clip doesnt make a specific holder for the transformer or the Nook color as of now. Let me know how it goes and post pictures when done

Also make sure when ordering the mount that u order the right one, is your bmw with navigation? do u want an angled mount or a straight mount like mine is? Here are the ones for your car:
http://bit.ly/jgydgd
Thanks. Yeah I want the straight one to avoid bothering my stick shift. I don't like that it covers the DTC button, but realistically I'd never DTC with a tablet mounted anyway haha.
I ordered it earlier this morning. I looked more carefully at your pics and they answered all my questions....DERP!
I'll post pics once it shows up.
I ordered the wood trim since that's what I've got, but how the hell would it be any different than the aluminum trim? I was planning on replacing the trim with carbon fiber eventually, so now just one more hurdle. No biggie!
This looks amazing man. I'm really tempted to get this set up for my 02' RL. Is it pretty sturdy during driving?

HOLY DASH MOUNT!! You are going to have to use street view instead of the windshield to see where you are. LOL I'm sure there will be better options soon
Hi,
I'm using one similar to that but mine's a vent mount and its pretty awesome i think. The reason I got one of these friction beasts is so that i can use it with my gps and phone. Yours seems to be better than the vent mount because it swivels. Mine doesn't swivel. But overall it works and its a very good multi tasker. I usually have it on landscape and don't use the little prongs. The foam pads are good enough to hold both my phone and gps.
I bought a cheap one from Frys for $15, it has a very similar clamping design but uses a flexible gooseneck and a suction mount. It works well, the friction mount part holds the phone well. I am not a huge fan of the gooseneck though. I cant wait to get back home and start modding on it, I think I can make it much better!

This type of mount actually blocks the charge port so you can't charge it while in the car. Kinda a deal killer because GPS uses so much power. Phone will be dead when I get to my destination.
I ordered one of those that said it had 3 clips instead of the 4 but they sent me one with 4. Then the ebay seller, lovelypriceelement, emailed me back saying that the 3 clips one doesn't exist EVEN THOUGH IT SAYS ON THE PAGE THAT THE USB PORT ISN'T BLOCKED!
Don't buy this if you want to charge in the car.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170403618927&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
I wish I remember where i got mine. It took me 3 different ones before i found one i liked, bought them retail....just kept returning them until the 4th was the best (around $25). It has 2 clips that clip onto the vent, and a support arm between the clips that rests again the vent, doesnt move at all and the charge port is completely accessible.

If you could find out where you got that one, that would be great. Looking for a more elegant solution to mount my G1 in my car.
I've seen the vent mount one at Staples but I don't know if it would work in my car. How long are the arms that clip onto the vent. I have a Mazda 6 and my vents are like the one in the middle of this picture:

For those who have used the vent clip mount, do you think that it would mount to the vents just above the radio in that picture? When open they have a curved front and they are a bit deeper than the average vent.
wrong thread.
This is what I ended up getting: http://cgi.ebay.com/Car-Windshield-...ccessories?hash=item27ade217c9#ht_3359wt_1165
So far so good... it's has this dumb photo holder (the clear plastic thing) and it came with a pic of an asian chick posed over a car! LOL!
But it's hefty, solid and not a goose neck.
Just wondering if anyone has bought a desk stand for their Transformer, any to recommend? I've searched and although I didn't see one specifically made for the Trans, there are some universal stands available.
I don't want the official keyboard attachment, thought I'd better mention that just in case.
There is one on amazon (US though). It's perfect and everyone keeps asking where I got it from. I fits any tablet really. There's a thread on the XOOM forum somewhere

I think I've seen that one in a search result, how do you find it for stability? I'd hate to have something that's easy to topple.
There's loads on Amazon but none particularly cheap. Cheapo option is to use a picture frame or plate stand. Sounds stupid but they do the job. It's not like you'll see them once the pad is on it. Either that or you could make one yourself if you're handy with tools, and don't burn down the house.

That thing is stable as a rock! I put it every where... I even keeps my TF upright when it's standing on the mattress at night! It has padded rubber feet and the same rubber at the part where the tablet rests so it cannot slip easily. Well worth the money and it's foldable....

Good grief the prices for the Arkon stand range from just under a tenner to £37.58! Someone's having a laugh!
Told ya. This one looks kinda funky though: LINK Can't see why it wouldnt work with the tf.

Its been reduced to $12, decent price really.
The biggest issue with that stand (I have one) is that you can't really have the charger connected whilst it is sitting on it.

Why cant you have the transformer's port at the top, and plug it in that way? The screen will adjust fine. You need a usb 3.0 extension cable of course though.

here is my stand
Hey everyone. So I am looking for a car mount for my S2. I have seen a ton of them out there and wondered what your opinions were on some of the ones I have found and out of those or maybe one that you know of is the best.
I do have a Ballistic Case on my phone so its kind of thick. This is the case
I was thinking about getting
Universal Phone Mount Holder for Samsung Galaxy S II (Galaxy S2) Epic 4G Touch Android Smartphone + SumacLife TM Wisdom*Courage Wristband $14.94
Please let me know any feedback that you maybe thinking.
Thanks everyone!
I have one of these

I picked up one of these http://www.exogear.com/products-exomount-car-mount-holder.html it even holds my GFs G1 Droid with a monster silicon case. You can pick them up for <$20 online.
http://www.exogear.com/products-exomount-car-mount-holder.html thats pretty awesome
I decided to pick a mount up from Arkon (http://www.arkon.com/) The one I got particularly is the Mega Grip Flexible version (http://www.arkon.com/Galaxy-S-II/megagrip-galaxy-s-2-flexible-windshield-car-mount.html)
It works pretty well, the legs are adjustable and has a ball joint that allows you to rotate the holster 360 degrees. It also has an adjustable arm (not the bendable arm) to change the vertical angle. The bendable arm is exceptionally stiff, much more than my Kensington mount I got for my 3GS a while back. The suction cup works very well on glass, other surfaces I can't say the same as I've not tried it on them. The only thing that doesn't tickle my fancy is the arm release mechanism... every time I use it it feels like I'm going to break it. My phone fits in without having to adjust this every time so it's not much of a concern for me though.
As for the exogear holder you just linked... I wouldn't mind snagging one of those. I'm always wary of gripping ones that don't support the bottom of the phone... don't want my device falling out at some point... especially when I mount it next to the window.

If you look close at the exogear, you'll see the inside of the "clamp" has red rubber for gripping. I hold my phone in portrait mode all the time and it has yet to slide with gravity.
Glad you found a holder that works for you.

This is a good choice and good price, plus it will supply a Line-Out and power to the phone. I wanted Line-Out feature and ended up making my own cable because I required a universal phone holder.
I have the official Samsung car dock - it is excellent!
@OP Maybe you should hold off of buying it at all. It looks like, next year, we won't be allowed to use our phones in cars while driving.

I dunno, it's really not as bad as you might think! It's cheap, it's minimalistic, and it works brilliantly! Maybe I should make another short video showing what it looks like in my car
One other added little bonus is that, when setting my Tab down on like a desk or table, since it rests on the soft fuzzy velcro instead of its metal casing, it's somewhat protected from possibly getting scuffed on the back.
For about $3 at your local RadioShack, you really can't go wrong

valid points, but what about when you take the velcro off, you would be left with marks there, i cant wait to get the leather case which will protect it

Not as much as you might think. I did the same thing with my original GTab, and there was nothing left behind from the Velcro when I sold it. If anything, those two strips just kept that area clean and unscathed. No sticky residue or anything!

Video's up!
I actually went to buy the keyboard from a local vendor and they said hey we also have the car mount so i picked one up also.. Looks sweet.. I wish it had a speaker phone in the base like the Galaxy Nexus car mount but then again the speakers are plenty loud on the tab as it is.. I think i bought every accessory already.! Except the hdmi adapter.. I dont see a need for it as both my TV's have dlna clients built in so i can stream media to the TV's over my 802.11 N 5ghz wlan..
Sent from another Galaxy...
Tab 7.7
Just FYI DLNA is handy but in my opinion it's not a viable substitute for the HDMI adapter if you plan on using your device to output to a TV. DLNA doesn't do well with all file formats and it's kind of torturous to advance or rewind. The HDMI adapter lets you use the tab pretty much like you would normally. I don't think DLNA is really all that mature yet. It will be better when future versions can simply mirror your device to the TV via WiFi rather than the very limited way it operates now.
I use DLNA everyday to watch video content through out my home no problem.. it maybe a young protocol.. but i havent had any problems.. i agree with you about not supporting all codecs/formats but i believe this is a limititatiin of the tab as mkv, m2ts wont play on the device pulling from my nas boxes.. but my tvs have played all formats that ive thrown at it up to 1080p 5.1ac3 over 802.11n 5ghz...

Fit for Car Mount
Does anyone know if the car mount will allow you to mount the tab if it has a thin back cover case in place? I have the Rock Ultra Thin case and I like it, but I don't want to have to remove it every time I want to put it in the car (daily).

also curious about this. it appears it can only mount without any cases/skins. sucks because theres no way im walking around with this thing without a case.
No. It is a tight fit, especially around the corners.
After a long process of checking the forums and reading on the numerous ways to add a car dock/mount for the asus tf101, i took it upon myself to revert back to custom install days. What i did was purchase a Car Kit Swivel Air Vent with Super Strong Slim Holder for Asus Eee Transformer TF101 from ultimate-mobiles.co.uk. I didn't want to mount the vent adapter so i cut holes on the side of the dash and placed the tablet hold portion into the dash. What i used was a filing kit, a hand saw, a razor, a screwdriver, and some cotter pins. about 4 hours i had a finished product. Its not perfect but im sure you can tell from the photos.
I can slide the tablet in and out securely with no problem. the left side i had to cut the tab off next to the volume button. This wasn't the best dock cause it was made for the vertical position. I should have order this dock, Strong Windscreen Suction Mount Holder for Asus Eee Transformer TF101, which was made for the horizontal position. But in the end it still worked out like i wanted it to. Oh and by the way the dash pieces i used where extras, i went to a junk yard and found another mustang and took those piece for $5. Sorry for no hyperlinks but im restricted cause of less then 10 post.
Finally here are the pictures.

Nice job on this DIY setup, i just wussed out and bought one of those flexible neck seatbolt mounts, and it wobbles like a mofo.
Nice...

ultimate-mobiles.co.uk this is the website. i cant post links yet.
Thanks.
That's nice. I just got the ExoGear mount. Not my favorite setup but it will work for now in my escape.
Hoping to get an F150 one of these days and then I'll look into mounting it into the dash somehow.
Again, nice work though. Minimal is best!

I still have to have the stock radio to use the aux output. i haven't found a way or attempted to look for a way to hookup the aux output without having the radio installed. im sure there's a way and ill try it later.

Are you familiar with the site mp3car.com? Check out their forums. Maybe there is a solution on that site that can help you out.

You might be able to run a line from the headphone jack to an amp hidden in the dash, but that might not look so good. Might not sound so good, either, if the TF doesn't put out enough to drive the amp. Is there room behind the dash to hide a small head unit with bluetooth?
Looks pretty good as it is really. What are you using for power? I was looking for a car charger for the TF for a while but gave up after nothing really worked. That was a long time ago though.
Same idea here :highfive:
