I know theres a thread on the Touch pro 2 Car mount but i dont know if any of those mounts work for the Tilt 2. I'm looking for something that fits nice and clips to the vent sturdy and also can rotate to landscape. I searched and searched and googled and cant find anything remotely good.
I bought a universal one but it was garbage
I know Proclip / brodit makes great car mounts but i cant justify paying 70 bucks for a car mount. ( 35 for the mount and 30 for the car mount part )
Sorry for making a new thread for this but i see a ton for the Touch pro 2 and still dont know if those will work with the tilt 2. Thanks for the help in advance

Anyone know if this will work with the Tilt 2?
dash mount
Best one I've found.... I hate Best Buy but they were the only ones in town with a decent mount. It was 24.99, a little more than I wanted to spend, but well worth it.

These days it seems like you're pulling teeth in terms of getting accessory developers to develop accessories for any non-iPod/iPhone devices...
This is the Bets one I found till now - HERE
most adjustable
I just ordered this one for a Tilt2. For $13 delivered it doesn't look to bad. I don't believe the TP2 exact fit ones will work with a Tilt2. I would be nice if one came out soon.
Looks like my usual vendor, ProClip USA is developing one, but it is not ready yet. Check them out at:
http://www.proclipusa.com/
I've looked at the ProClip. It looks pretty good. The problem is I just can't see spending close to $80 for one. I upgrade phones every 12-16 months Hell, I only spent $99 delivered for my Tilt2...

I did it here.
Again I'm weary of TP2 exact fit holders. That one is labeled for T7373, the Tilt2 is T7377. There is a small size difference. It does look decent though.
I drive a GMC Sierra and have been looking for a dash or vent mount. A windshield mount puts the phone out of arms reach.

Actually this one is available. I've already got one in my truck for my Tilt 2.
be VERY careful with vent mounts. Your AC can make your phone cold causing it to condensate when you exit the vehicle and walk around outside ESP in high humidity areas thus voiding your warranty
proclip
i bought the proclip car kit for the tilt. now i have the tilt2.
the car mount fits great, good location. i agree it is expensive, but replacing the phone holder for the tilt2 is half the cost. still great fit and location.

Does the holder you're referencing allow you to rotate the tilt 2 from portrait to landscape?

igrip
i have the igrip custom mount for my fuze, i like it a lot, and the mount detaches from the goose neck. they make several mount options that can connect to the custom clip. the have one for my mountain bike, so i can attach it on the trails and use some of the gps features with a program i downloaded here on xda. They also have some more solid mounts that dont move around as much as the goose neck. I am getting a tilt 2 real soon, as soon as my contract is up for upgrade... (next week).. would love to find a custom clip for it that works with the igrip mounting options, has anyone seen one. i dont see a custom clip for the tilt 2 on their website.

i been looking at this one Car Mount it's adjustable so it might just work.

Check mountguys.com, they have one for an android tablet, looks to be adjustable
I plan on using a sheet of Kydex to form around my gtab and canibalizing an old suction mount to mount it on. Then I can get those little adhesive suction discs and affix it once I find the best location.

honestly i think that the gtab in the car would be pretty damn cool to use, however i think it just MIGHT be an obstruction of view if you guys were to get the windshield mounts for the tab, believe you will def get a few tickets for that from the local cops looking to meet 'quotas'. maybe if there was something where you can dock it say where the lighter is or in the middle console somehow but on the windshield prob isnt the best place for it, just my 2 cents

I agree, big time! I plan on mounting mine lower in my work van. I also plan on "fabricating" some sort of recessed dock type enclosure in my truck. I had plans for a carputer but I think a gtab dock would be way more convenient....and way sweeter!
Hoping to tap the knowledge of the guys at this forum. They build some awesome setups here. I know this isn't for the average person, but I am already half way there in my vehicle.

Bad idea... for my car anyways...
I drive an Evo with 600AWHP and a lots of grip. This thing will not be held by some suction cup.
I am looking to make a bracket of some sort for the center console.

I bought one of these iPad suction cup mounts from some random site on BensBargains.net and use it with a beanbag friction dash mount... on my desk. The setup is just too large and cumbersome to be placed on the dashboard. Not to mention the ball head mechanism never seems to get tight enough to hold the tablet steady when I touch anything on either the extreme left or right of the tab.
I saw this on the mountguys.com website:
http://www.mountguys.com/product_p/mfx-47-ipadtab.htm
What do you think? Is there enough holding power to safely craddle the Gtab? My only free space is really infront of the air vents. Any other issues or concerns?
Nice !
Would much rather that then the windshield mount
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I predict that it won't be long before you have a vent ripped out of your car and a tablet on the floor. These things are pretty heavy. Cell phone from a vent, ok.. Tablet? Not me...
I would love to have a mount in my truck for the gtablet. The cops might get a little curious if you did a windshield mount .
Has anybody bought a car mount yet? I'm looking for one that fits the tab even if I have to modify the base.
I bought one from Amazon but it only came with the window mount part. I used the part that holds the tab and secured it to my visor with some Velcro straps. Works well and I can flip it down to use or flip it up to drive.

I purchased this and in the description it states you can mount it to the ac vent. I sent an email to the sender because I did not see how this could attach to a vent and they refunded the money. The grip part holds the Gtab great. I Bought a yoga mat holder from walmart for 5$ to hold it to the visor.
amazon.com/gp/product/B003XDD2WY/ref=oss_product
Similar yoga strap. I cut the long strap and used the two loops to hold the mount.

I don't think that would work well. These tablets are too heavy to be held up safely with an air vent. The best solution would be a cup holder mount.

I agree, I want to mount it to the cup holder too.
vent mount no way... even the cup holder mount is borderline. i did see a mount that bolts to the floor where the seat does, now that would work! it had a arm that raised it up to the level desired.. thats the route im going.

I like this too, but I have a power passenger seat in my coupe and when you forward the back rest to enter the rear seat, the power see automatically slides forward. I am afraid it will push and bend the arm up against the dash as it does not look like it is very long.
what do you think?
I've been doing a lot of research trying to come up with a good solution to mount my Transformer in the map compartment of my car (03 Mazda 6) which is actually pretty large. The transformer will almost fit in it horizontally but I want something that will allow me to adjust and swivel it to be able to easily change my viewing angle so I was looking at some goose neck/swivel mount solutions but I wasn't sure if they would support the tablets ~1.5lbs weight. The goose neck solution I was looking at is made by ProClip (http://www.proclipusa.com/brodit-de...ount-with-amps-hole-pattern-215181-13978.aspx) and I was thinking of just putting a PadTab (http://www.thepadtab.com) on the end of it since I can't find a holder for it yet. Does anyone know if the Motorola Xoom holder might work for it since the dimensions are nearly the same? Does anyone else have their Transformer mounted in their car in a similar way? If so, what solution are you using (besides a vent mount). Also if you have any suggestions on what may work I am open to hear them.
Actually after looking more online I'm thinking that this flex mount (http://www.panavise.com/index.html?pageID=1&page=full&--eqskudatarq=149) looks a lot sturdier than the one ProClip sells and I think it may be able to withstand vibrations a lot better and is cheaper which is also a plus lol.
There's someone on this forum that did proclip + pad tab.
I talked to the product manager at ProClip and they do not have any plans to develop a TF holder. The holders are very specific to the device so a Xoom may not work.
The pad tab seems like the only option but I don't want to stick that plastic square thing on the back of my TF...
Here is the link to that post...he has pictures and even a video:

Got mine mounted in my car today. Came up with a better/permanent solution since I don't trust the padtab to hold my device. Will post some pics tomorrow but here is what I used in case any of you were wondering..
RAM Mount Tab-Tite Holder (Model # RAM-HOL-TAB3U) -- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004V9JA20
Panavise 6-Inch Stay-Put Flex Mount (Model # 782-06) -- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000I7OQB4 (although it's really really hard to flex .. i guess that's what the stay-put means in the product name .. and it doesn't move when you drive at all so if you want that flexibility i would suggest a uniflex mount that panavise makes.)
I have an 03 Mazda 6S which has a map compartment that opens up above my radio which I then mounted the Panavise base to by drilling 3 holes in it for the mount and I put a metal sheet behind it (since the map compartment is plastic) for extra support so I can flex the mount if I need to. Other than that this has worked excellent.
Pics? Sounds like an awesome idea.

That's kind of extreme.
You could've just used a suction mount:

We understand the concern...that being said the adhesive we use is stronger than most mounts that are either drilled into a wall or suction cup holders. The adhesive is used in industrial applications in place of metal rivots such as holding metal street signs and bonding sheets of metal for trailers. The PadTab would not be worth our time if it didn't do what we say it does. Securing the tablet was our most important goal in addition to allowing it to be mounted.

Well - I just used the one recommended from RAM mounts - Part ID: RAM-B-101U-C
UNPKD. RAM MNT. W/2 2 1/2" BASES & C ARM
It a straight swivel with two ball joints that are coated in rubber to have a very solid grip but easily movable.

This looks like it is a permanent mount...not a suction cup mount. Am I wrong?
Did a search of this section and was surprised to see that no one has mentioned Slipgrip at all. Just wanted to let everyone know about the products they have for the SGS2.
They make mounts for your car/bike/whatever; the cool thing about them is that they make them to be used with a naked phone or while your phone is in an Otterbox or Seidio case. I had one for my Inspire 4G and now for my SGS2, both were wearing Otterbox Commuter cases. The mount works perfect, just pop the phone in and it locks in place, pops back out when you push the clip. It's held securely and they have multiple mounting options (vent mount, suction mount, RAM mount, bike mounts... they have 12 different mounting options).
Another neat thing is that it is cut out to accommodate the camera, so you can mount it on your windshield and easily record the idiots in front of you.
Yeah I had one of these for my captivate after burning through 2 or 3 universal car mounts. Its great. Really sturdy and your phone wont come out unless you want it to. Hopefully Ill get around to buying one for the gs2
I was just looking at these the other day. Other than buying direct from them which it was going for $30 - I could not find them anywhere else. Glad to know it works well, I will just have to save up for it.
