The Arkon mount works well. It is interchangeable with their other mounting gear. I can remove the piece that holds my phone and replace it with the piece that holds my flyer in seconds.

Is there an attachment for mounting threw the vent?
yes
You can probably find a compatible vent clip on the Arkon website. Look for the 2 T connector.

I use a generic Micro USB charger in the car, and it works just fine. If you look at the M-USB connector, it looks like /_____\ - make sure the narrower side is facing up when you plug it in to the interface and you'll be good to go.

I picked this up from Best Buy, it's obviously a generic type thing that lots of companies sell under their own brand name since this wasn't cobra or the other brand referenced in that link. I drove around with it all day and for the most part it did well. You have to be careful not to push hard on the sides, it's too similar a motion to the twist you use to remove it. I might modify the brackets on the bottom so that it sits better on them. I only had it fall off once and it's because I was messing with it and then took a hard turn up a steep ramped curb. It bounced to my passenger seat floor. I was trying to dislodge it though so I don't blame it really. I'll try to do some video of it while driving to help others.
I have the official dock from HTC for the Sprint View. It comes with a AC Charger and a USB cable that are identical to those that ship with the tablet. I am unsure what the button does as I didn't see any documentation with the dock. I had to buy the dock and stylus in order to get 25% off the accessories and then a $50 credit to get the pen for free.

It is very similar in look and feel to the Captivate version (previous phone).
What's in the box?

Review: (Updated October 12, 2011)
Audio works through the dock port when enabling it in the Settings [Settings >> Dock Settings >> Enable sound through Dock]
Phone clips in very snug to the holder. Perhaps a little too snug as it's not easy to get the phone out with one hand.
Built in Voice Control is great! "Hi Galaxy" "Text [contact] message 'whoa this is awesome!'"

Thanks for the quick answers. I will be ordering this tonight.
Here is an alternative to the Samsung car mount that you might consider:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/320764561950?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
I have been using this for about a week and am thus far happy with it.
The construction feels a little flimsy but that is by design, I think, since due to its flexibility, it allows for useage with the phone in a case...which was my primary reason for buying it.
It slide locks onto a proprietary disk mount that has adhesive tape on one side for placement on your dash or other flat surface.
One downside is that there is no dedicated audio out connection...you have to use the phone's audio output. But that isn't an issue for me since I connect to my car stereo via bluetooth.
Rotates to landscape and charges the phone through a micro usb connecion at its base

that's a pretty big downside as the plugs aren't on the same side of the phone (what a weird design by Samsung)

Not weird. People prefer to have the charger cable coming out of the bottom of the phone when in portrait use (usually, the phone is above or at equal level to the charger).
However, they prefer the headphone jack to be at the top, so they don't have to flip the device over when pulling it out of their pocket.
Just ordered one of these from ebay? £20 with free delivery. Anyone got one? How good are they? Mine will be going in my van so I can use sygic for satnav and for music.

Hi Wounded.
Got the mount this morning. All I can say is, well worth the money. It has a long flexible stem, idea for long dashboards. Twin suction cups. The part where you put your transformer is removeable, leaving just the suction cups and stem in place. Came very well packaged and fast delivery.
I will post some pics tommmorrow. Works very well with Sygic. I plug mine in via 3.5mm jack lead to stereo and wifi tethered to phone.

The above wouldn't be legal in California, due to it being attached to the front windshield.

That would be an issue here in the UK as it is in front of the heater grill and we need that grill for heating here, not air con,lol, thus it would heat up the Eeepad (not good)
Thats a good point about the heaters...but it depends where they are situated. The OP's setup would have the same issue if the vents were in the same spot.

I see what your saying here, and thought about this very issue when initially deciding where to place mine. I have now settled on a pretty central location with the base of the TF just above the display of the stereo. Vision is good, no obstructions. Having used it for a couple of days, I have now gone off the idea of using Sygic for Satnav and have changed to Co-Pilot and to be fair, seems to be working alot better. I was finding Sygic to be slightly behind when driving, not a great deal, but for a picky person like me, it was enough.
Hi man,
Was looking for something like this, your confinced me to buy also one, can't wait to get my hands on it. Much better then my 3.9 (or so) inch phone, thanks for the topic and the information!

the DX one? I don't think it will hold it if you are not driving on a flat (tarmac) surface.... so I am looking for a more stable/secure one
ps why do you have your internet speed in your sig? is that high in the USA?
I got this one from ebay here.
I have tried this on most road surfaces: Tarmac, concrete, off road(I mean really bad roads). Not had a moments bother. The dual suction cup works really well. Added bonus of being able to remove the part which you put your TF in and leave the stem still attached. The stem is bendable, but stiff so not to move whilst holding the TF.
Like I said, very happy with it and worth the money imho.

THanks for the reply and link! Can you explain how the mount works, or make a photo of it without the asus in it? because it looks like there is no support on the bottom of the device? and how do you clip it in? Hope you can help me buy one
i don't think I would trust suction cups in general. Back when I had an Ipad 2 I picked up a mount that attached to the car seat. You basically loosen a bolt, and it mounts in between the bolt and the seat, you tighten it back up and that's it! After I picked up my tf I tried it out in my car and it works perfecttly. I guess I can't link yet.. but I found mine at mount guys dot com, but I've seen similar ones elsewhere.

Ok so yeah real easy question i guess we might not know for another 2 weeks but like i already ordered most of my accessories ahead of time Im down to the Car dock.
I currently have the OGEvo and use the htc car dock every day. Literally, If the phone is not in my hand it is in the dock.
I understand they have the same general size but I am wondering if the E4GLE is the same shape and if it fits in the HOX Car Dock?
***Update
So Engadget updated its review of E4GLE and they said "shorter by one millimeter and wider than the international One X by four-tenths of a millimeter." Soooo...
That means that the E4GLE should fit nicely into the HOX car dock. Even better with full body skin it should still fit without problem. Which was an issue with my OGEvo dock, cause the official dock would rub off the top part of body skin.
Im ordering my Dock.
www.engadget.com
Don't know if I would risk it. I love my OG htc evo dock, but with the charging port on the side, its gonna be a little different setup, maybe more like moto docks. I am just gonna wait for the official dock.
I would keep an eye:
http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/7878.htm
there, That is the Car Dock that I have for my HTC Evo 4G. Works great. They made one for the EVO 3D as well that had the side charge port. So I don't see why they won't have a new one for the LTE.
Will
I have also pre-ordered the E4GLE, yet I almost didn't because I have been unable to get information from Sprint or HTC on the dock. I do not the the dimensions of the One X are almost identical, a millimeter off on the width. So it may fit but it's still a gamble.
I use the car dock on my Nexus One every day. My phone is my nav and I can't really justify not having an OEM made car dock. If nothing is announced by launch day I may have to return the E4GLE and get the One X, even though I'd rather have the E4GLE.
Update!
B-)
shorter by one millimeter and wider than the international One X by four-tenths of a millimeter.
I dunno about the official dock, but i've bought vehicle specific mounting plates from proclip and then combined it with a slipgrip car mount from ebay with great results, just had to run wires for a 3.5mm/microusb connection for power and music. The slipgrip guy makes docks for certain cases too so i think im going to email him about that.

I swear by ProClips. It will take a while for ProClips to make a car dock until they get one in their hands. And when they do. I just need the phone dock part and not the car dock part.

I'm with ya, it took so long for them to make one for the OG evo that i looked to the slipgrip guy who actually made it for both the seidio innocase as well as the HC ballistic case. He epoxies the holder to whatever interface (suction cup, bike mount, vent mount) but i just asked him in the order to ship the two separate. I then did some modifications to the holder so it would screw in to the pivot joint that comes with the proclip holders, turned out pretty well. If history repeats with seidio's timeline, then i'll just have to do the same for this phone.
Does the LTE Evo not have pegs like the Nexus?
Plugging and unplugging both my OG Evo 4G and Evo 3D from the car dock (both are OEM, every other one I tried was even worse) scratches the living hell out of the power jacks. It's irritating as hell that they don't do audio through the dock as well. I guess with that new bluetooth 4.0 dongle, I won't have to worry about that.
I have the dock for the EVO 3D from Seidio and it also scratches around the charge port. Not much I can do about it:-(

the dock is made by ibolt. I just put mien in this morning. very good feel. they give you some foam pads to level the phone is using with a case with the insert removed. that part was a little cheesy, but actually worked well. pretty happy with it.
so did the OP ever try out the car dock for the one x?

Never seen those. I would be interested in hearing your opinion.
I might be getting a HTC Amaze soon (and paying ~$150 on top of the hassle of selling it for a One S isn't worth it for me), and I'm considering getting the official desktop dock and car dock while they're still available...but is it worth it? Seems like getting them in-store is about the only place to get them (if the store has it period), as I only see like two eBay listings for just the car dock on the entire web. I get that they're not too extraordinary (desktop dock particularly), but I don't want to be with the Amaze a few months down the line and not being able to find either for a reasonable price.
i have not even seen the desktop dock anywhere i just got my amaze today from tmobile didnt see it in the store. On another note if you want to trade your s for my amaze let me know lol
I have both the car and desk dock personally. I have them in my store available for purchase, but i know not every T-Mobile store receives them
I wonder if someone who has the car dock would be willing to measure the diameter of the suction cup on it? I have a dash friction mount that I would love to attach the arm of the official dock to, but I don't want to buy it if the suction cup is larger than the surface on the friction mount I have.
Yes we have them in, I'm mad we don't get much amaze stuff but dock is cheap for 49.99

This is interesting. I had no clue there was a desktop dock for this phone. I've never seen it in store. I may have to pick it up and do a bit of modding to make a very useful car dock for GPS navigation as the one I have is a bit.....
I'm sitting on an extra OEM desktop dock that someone didn't end up paying for. Willing to sell for 30 including shipping to US or 40 to Canada. Send me a PM if interested.

Received the items yesterday. It's the real deal. OEM Car and Desk dock... still with the T-Mobile price tags attached. The desk dock is listed at $49.99 ALONE!
Since I could never find the car dock, I went with a different solution. I already had the Trident Kraken AMS case so I was able to buy a part from Trident that uses the AMS feature to turn into a car dock. The part is only $15, so if you have a Trident Kraken case, pair it up with a car charger and you are ready to go!
There's no more docks left, oh well

If you're looking for the desktop dock, I ordered one last week, and there are three more available on ebay. $24.99 and free shipping.
So I finally got the car dock, the official one. It is amazing.

Might have to get both. Car dock is only $10.99. Desktop dock is $14.99

Thanks. I probably won't get one of either, but I wanted people to see where to find them.
- for the car holder, I have not been able to find a charger that will keep up with the battery drain of the Amaze when using data, GPS, and keeping the screen on. I use Google Maps navigation by connecting the BT and turning off the screen. Otherwise this would be a great setup.
- for the desktop, I keep my Amaze in a TPU case. Still I might consider it for home use at night...
Ah, what the heck, I went ahead and bought the car model - what a deal!!

I have TPU cases for my Amaze as well but I bought it not only for the dock but for the "official" HTC charger. I can use it without the dock and it charges fast.
Anyone know if the airdock 2.0 holds the n6 very well?

The Indiegogo site says that it works with the Nexus 6. Since it has not been released for anyone to verify, I would trust the maker of the Air Dock 2.0. It is an amazing dock that is built a good reputation, I would not think that they are going to make claims that they can not backup. Ordered my Super Early Bird, will let you know as soon as mine arrives.

The 2.0 version ships in February. I have the original (ordered it from Indiegogo too) and it does not hold the Nexus 6.
The video they have up on the site shows the N6 being used, shows him taking it off and putting it on. Of course that doesn't exactly show us how strong the hold it, but it at least holds...

I won't disagree with you when you say it doesn't work with yours, but I got my n6 on nov 30 and have been using my airdock without issue so far. granted, I would never put money behind it never falling off, but after thoroughly cleaning it the first day with an alcohol wipe it's been working and has never slipped/turned/fallen off so far.
it's not vertical though, I have it on the extended arm airdock sells and it's tilted back a bit.. ymmv
The 2.0 looks cool, but it's going to have the same problem as the original - it's a flat surface and the N6 is curved.
I'm hoping the rumors of the AirDock creator making some type of adapter for the N6 are true.

Nice. Please keep us posted on what you find out. I have the original AirDock, and would rather see if he's releasing some kind of adapter that would work with the original before ordering the 2.0.

And now, I again regret not ordering at the black Friday price. This is a rollercoaster of emotions, for sure.

Yeah, if it's the case that I have to buy a whole new dock then I'm going with the new Tylt car charger, at least that has some flexibility for the future.

Here's the email that I received.
If you are going to be using the Nexus 6, then we ought to get you the Nexus 6 version of Air Dock 2.0 We are just about done developing a curved face for the Air Dock. That curve would match the N6 perfectly and hold it much better. It's going to be a little while before we have these units ready to send out, but it would be much better for you if you have the N6

I got my super early bird redemption code this morning and ordered my dock.
Anyone else?

Only thing I don't like about the tylt is there is no place to plug in a charger at the bottom for when I wanna charge my phone faster than wireless and use my quick charge 2.0 charger. Bummer
At $110 I have left the Airdock far far behind. There are equivalent docks out there for less than half that price. iOttie for one, itian for another, and even the over-priced Tylt is less than this. I suspect airDock is not long for this world.
Does anyone have the Airdock 2 yet? Does it work as well as they say it does?
I'm also curious about how stable the long flexible arm is. Does it jiggle a lot?
My Airdock 2.0 finally came in today after a long delay.
It seems to stick to the Nexus 6 very well. I was a bit worried considering the N6 doesn't have the metal discs in the back like the N5 did. Asticker with metal discs embedded is provided, but I'm not sure I want a big sticker on the back of my phone though...
The dock is concave to fit the curvature of the back of the N6. The one downside to that is you can't put the phone is landscape unless you rotate the dock 90 degrees. Since the ball on the mount fits into a 45 degree elbow connector, I haven't figured out a way to angle the dock so it sits level. I may have to play around with it a bit longer to find the right setup.
I can update this post with some photos if anyone is interested.

Did you get a tracking number/shipping notification? Which mount did you get for it? Pics please! Do you have a case? I'm planning to put the sticker in my case...hopefully the sticker isn't too thick, is it?

I added photos to my post above.
Yes, I got a tracking number.
I went with the CD mount as I don't use CD's in my car. I also have the long flexible mount and the standard mount from my Air Dock 1.0 purchase.
I don't use a case so I can't comment on how that works.
The sticker is as thick as a normal sticker.
