Buy a new car
Get a car mount for it, or you could try one of those French fry holders they sell at auto parts stores for your cup holder. I drive a KIA and it fits in my bigger cup holder just fine.

I drove a 4 Runner for a while and I can't really think of s good spot. I don't have one to see how it would fit, but I think you best bet is some kind of cup holder based phone holder. I'll post a link if I can find what I mean.
A) is this a coin holder? Is it wide enough for the phone to sit there vertically?
B) my current solution for my Note 2 in my Audi A4 when I don't have it mounted on the windshield.
C) there is probably a proclip solution that would mount here... Probably not what you want but they are nice.
D) probably rest it in there for the meantime.

Yes and its not wide enough.

I can slip it here but it's in an awkward position.
C) there is probably a proclip solution that would mount here... Probably not what you want but they are nice.
Nice but too far out of the way.
D) probably rest it in there for the meantime.
I can't it will slip around too much. Cup holders are too small.

I use the a-pillar one in my Expedition and love it. Its not in the way, but easily within eye-sight while driving, and its like in the corner of the cab, so if a thief looks in the window, most likely looking towards the center console area and wont see it.
Ehhhh.... What the hell did I just read? Are you really arguing over a car? On an internet forum targeted at mobile devices? Seriously?
@Lancez Stop trolling around here, nobody cares if the OP has this car or not. He just wants help with the placement of his phone...
@dinosaur1 Just ignore the troll posts. :good:
Thread cleaned and any further posts regarding this issue will be removed as well. Move on folks.
As pointed out above, get a proclip. For over a year, I have a proclip vent mount setup in my 4Runner along with a hardwired Qi charging pad. LOVE this setup and will be buying a larger holster for the N6 since the previous N5 holster doesn't expand wide enough to hold the bigger phone.

It fits in the cup holder after I took out the insert that goes in there.
Take your nexus car shopping and find a new car or truck that fits it. There's a seat for every ass, but only one nexus for your hand.

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.
Anyone find a good car mount for the Flyer?
What about this
http://www.amazon.com/Arkon-SM517-W...7?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1312330080&sr=1-7
I looked at that but was hoping to find something with a goose neck that won't cost an arm and a leg.
I'm looking at: http://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Windsh...TF8&coliid=I1KF8PQQC8DSBD&colid=1O6EIA62KNIE2
or
http://www.amazon.com/Holder-Samsun...ternet/dp/B004JPQKX8/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
with arkon..the flyer only in landscape..and not in portrait;is it correct?
I have the arkon car mount
The Flyer is held in by tension (spring inside). You pull down the bottom part, insert the flyer and release. It holds on pretty tight so it should work in portrait mode. Most of the holders are interchangeable with their bases so you can get a suction cup base, a vent clip base, or a goose neck.
FYI:
The holder will also hold my iTouch, Droid, or Blackberry too.
This one is shown on the Arkon website with a gooseneck base. http://www.arkon.com/accessories/tablet_car_mount.html
You can get it at amazon http://www.amazon.com/Arkon-20-Inch-Flexible-BlackBerry-PlayBook/dp/B004MYF10E/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1312398289&sr=1-1
I have the tablet holder from RAM mount... It holds my Flyer while in my "folio type" case. They have a gooseneck which uses your seat bolts for attaching to the car... It's a litttle rigid, but if you get it in the "right" position it Will stay put. If you're looking for a windshield or dash mount they have the normal suction cup base option. I have the magnetic base mount which I move from my desk to gym. The nice thing about the system is you can interchange the bases and holders for other device holders... But this can get pricey also.
Sorry I don't have the link handy, Google RAM mounts... Should come up, I purchased online from a store in Seattle called NPI.
car mount for HTC Flyer
Have you looked at Brodit holder?
I have this one and it works great for my phone and tablet:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004V3NPW2
Its hold is shockingly good.
For those of you who have windshield mounts do you find that a 7" tab is a bit too big to have sitting in the front? Does it block your view?
I would get the side mount, but I don't like the idea of drilling and screwing things in to the side of my car.

I bought this and it's ok. If you have a case, the mount does not grab the tablet at all because of its thickness. The little arms are simply not long enough. I had to cut mine to make them lock the tablet. If you are willing to do 15 mins of modding. might worth it.
It blocks a good bit of my windshield on my car, so I am trying to figure out how to mount it onto or slightly below my head unit. However, on my girlfriend's truck, there is plenty of space.

Same mount... No case in this picture, but I can say firsthand that it works fine with a silicone case. It held the tablet for a 1200 mile trip until the tape on the dash puck gave out 10 miles from home. I can get a clearer picture this weekend if one is wanted.
Like you mentioned though, it did block much of the right hand side of the windshield from the drivers seat. Cops didn't seem to care though. Lol.
I also have an arkon gooseneck mount in my truck, also holds fine with a silicone case, no modding necessary. However, if it only sat up higher, I'd be content. Nothing some threaded rod and a coupler can't fix.

Without the case it works quite well. Did you have to mod your arms at all?
Also, I fond it very annoying to use the buttons on the bottom as the little arms would get in the way.
Since then I have gotten Button Savior which makes buttons pop out on the screen like on HC. You gotta be rooted though.
Nope, didn't have to mod. With the case it was a bit tight. The spring loaded arm was slightly bowed due to being at full stretch.
My mount didn't come with the j-hook arms, so no interference with the buttons.
The cobra holder looks great but not sure about holding power. Has someone tested how much it hols, can't believe that it holds the flyer when driving a little harder
Even with the money I'd save him, it's still at least half an arm and leg. Nicest holders out and there though. And they'll only fit a bare tablet. I've tried to get them to do an adjustable one to fit multiple 7" tablets, but they kept shooting me down. Maybe with the Nook Tab and Kindle Fire, they'll reconsider.

How big of a diameter is the suction cups of the Arkon?
It's a single cup, 3" in diameter.
Also, I snapped some pics of the detachable part of the mount on the Flyer with both a Rocketfish case and a generic silicone one... Picture taking isn't my strong suit, so pardon the not so good quality :|
First, here's the gooseneck in my Trailblazer... the left front nut on the passenger seat was loosened up and it mounts there.

sweet thanks for the pictures!
one more question, how much more does the legs extend out?
ordered a Multi Angle 360 Stand Up Case and it would be great to leave case in when mounting.
That's as far as it stretches out, so it's a tight fit. You might get a kit that has a pair of longer legs to give another inch or so of clearance.

I had to cut into mine so that the silicone case would not slide out. If the arms were only about 10mm longer with more of a slope, it would work sooo much better.

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.

It does require 2 hands, which isn't a big deal to me because i still use both hands to plug/unplug power/aux.

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.

The ngroove snap will work as its a metalish sticket you either put on your phone or inside the case or battery cover. Though, it will kill Qi. I returned mine on my last device due to this. Never tested NFC as I never use it. If you dont care about Qi and possibly NFC, then its a great buy. There is also http://www.kenu.com/products/airframe-plus that just came out. I will be ordering this in the near future.
Hmm my parents will be using QI so that is a no go..
Does the Tmobile version come with QI preinstalled?
Also my dad doesn't want a vent one most likely, he likes the window shield car mount or what ever you would call that.

No accessories these days are made for specific phones. No company will limit themselves to a specific model when they can cater to everyone with a universal model. It will work with iPhones, Androids and tablets. Don't judge by the images they post.

The ngroove snap will work as its a metalish sticket you either put on your phone or inside the case or battery cover. Though, it will kill Qi. I returned mine on my last device due to this. Never tested NFC as I never use it. If you dont care about Qi and possibly NFC, then its a great buy. There is also http://www.kenu.com/products/airframe-plus that just came out. I will be ordering this in the near future.

Hmm my parents will be using QI so that is a no go..
Does the Tmobile version come with QI preinstalled?
Also my dad doesn't want a vent one most likely, he likes the window shield car mount or what ever you would call that.

They have more other than the snap version. If you want magnetic and sleek, thats the snap version. They have the grip which clamps the phone and does not use magnets

I have this one and works great with the g3, even with a case on it. I love n Fla and it has not moved from my dash since putting it on, the auction cup is top notch!
Sent from my Black Lg G3
The Air Dock is the best right now. Magnetic mounts are great - very easy to quickly place and pick up your phone, and it has qi charging. It's expensive though.
I´ll try my "old" one witch I have used with the mi2, very strong magnetic connection, but I have to wait to get a back cover to fix the metal plate (the original back cover is too tight)

I saw the video and I like that it attaches to the dash. But I have a few concerns..
1. The suction cup is sticky...does it get linty from dust and stuff?
2. Any marks on dash (if you have it on there) due to the sun and the suction on there? Like a discoloration?

I have the InfiniApps Magnetic stand and it works great. I'd be keeping it if I didn't want qi charging.
This is the one I used since Nexus. Still the best one on market.

I put the mount on my dash and have yet to take it off. I don't know if there is lint and if there is any discoloration. What I do know is the the mount is as sturdy as you can get. I had an oem Samsung mount that I would stick on the window, it is so hot down here in Florida that just about everyday, it would fall off and I would need to stick it to windshield again and again. This dock has yet to lose suction. Every other dock I have used would never stick to my dash without a 3m sticky plate that then the dock would sit on. Hth

I just took mine off after having it on for 2 years in Virginia - so it had to deal with a lot of flex in temperatures and a ton of humidity, etc. There was a ring imprint on the dash (it's leather wrapped) for a few days but then it disappeared. I have no discoloration, but that is not mount dependent - the material of your dash is what matters as a lot of plastic ones will fade over time, and the part hidden from the sun won't. You also can simply rinse the suction cup in the faucet and then mount it somewhere else - just make sure to clean the dust off of the dash very well first.
I ordered the air dock because there is nothing else that is as fast and convenient as the InfinniApps magnet mounting dock with Qi charging. I tried opening up one of those circle Powerbots and adding magnets as a DIY but the entire thing was a coil - no wonder why it was impossible to not place the phone right - and there was no place to put the magnets where they'd work without stopping the charging.

I don't suppose you have seen anyone using this with a G3 and the NFC/Qi sticker yet? I would be worried that the back is too textured to work on its own, and the sticker not fitting over both antennae. If it does work, I will put it on my short list; I am going to wait and see how much the Tylt Vu Car Charger ends up being before I commit to anything else since I have had such good luck with my desktop charger from them.

I'll let you know when mine comes in. But I'm using my InfinniApps mount right now and taped the metal plate over the qi/nfc sticker on the back cover and it sticks fine, and still charges on my Powerbot.
I've had a Proclip mount system for 8 years now, in 2 cars and with 5 phones now. The universal mount I'd had lasted through an iPhone 3GS, a Galaxy S2, a Nexus 4 and the Nexus 5. Unfortunately it couldn't accommodate the N6, so I purchased on of their larger ones which arrived today. It's pictured here with a naked N6, but will also work with the Spigen case I should be receiving Monday.
This is the one I bought --> http://goo.gl/tA2buI

Thanks for the heads up. I was just thinking about this. I have the smaller universal mount, and it does fit with my Spigen Neo Hybrid, but JUST barely! I plan on getting a beefier case, so I need to get a bigger universal mount.
Thanks!

Wow, I just measured. The Nexus 6 with a Spigen Neo Hybrid is nearly 3.5" wide. The Large Universal mount accomodates up to 3.5" wide. No love for a bigger case on the N6

Be sure to check out some of their other large(r) universal mounts. They have some that'll accommodate larger cases.
Thanks for the heads up. I am in the same boat as you were in. Love the proclip and its worked on the last 3 phones I have had but N6 is just to wide for it.
I read on another thread that they are releasing a N6 specific model but would much rather just get this instead of waiting 2-3 months for it to come out.
Never had an proclip, could somebody explain how they work? I see on their site they have custom dash mounts for specific cars but can't figure out how the phone mount fits to the dash mount. Also, can it be easily taken out with 1 hand once all set up?
The phone mount screws into the car mount. I have also used their mounts for years but always the phone specific model that's hard wired. I like that it just pop out in and it charges no cord to plug in before I put it in the holder.
So it's is a 1 handed operation? I like the ram X mount but needing to use 2 hands is a drawback.
I have a universal phone mount attached to a car mount that attaches to the a-pillar of my driver's side. its easy one-handed to pop my phone in or out. Here are stock pictures of what I use:
I bought the proclip for my Garmin a few years back. It is awesome. Might have to look at one for my N6.

Its basically 2 parts. The car specific mount and then the phone mount. If you switch phones you can just get a new phone mount witch screws to your already in place car mount.
They are a bit more expensive but are rock solid and the mounts are custom designed for each car model.
If you switch holders from car to car like I do, their locking move clip system is awesome http://www.proclipusa.com/accessories/locking-move-clips/locking-move-clip-accessories.aspx
I had the same problem - long time ProClip user whose universal mount used for the Nexus 5 wasn't big enough to hold the new Nexus 6. I just took the holster apart, removed the swivel component that limits how wide the holster arms can expand, stuck it back with super glue, filed the edges and put it all back together. It works
They are running a sale right now too. Trying to decide if I should get the universal one or the Note 4 holder. N6 holder doesn't sound like it will be out for at least another month.
20% off with promo code 20THANKS
Ends Monday.
So with the universal mounts you don't get forward/backward movement of the phone? Do the sides squeeze enough to hold it in place or something even though the phone may be thinner than the slot in the mount?

There is a little bit of movement (all of my phones have had some in their universal mounts), but it's still held firmly and doesn't move on it's own. With my Spigen Perfect-fit case it's actually a great fit.
I've always used the device specific ones that have an integrated charging cable. What do you folks do to handle charging in the car?

I'll bet this combination would work: a large universal thick holder with an anker ultra-slim wireless charging pad glued to it.

Can you tell me if there is 0.2 inches of space behind the phone in which to glue a wireless charger?

I don't have the phone, the mount, or the charger, so, no.
But according to the specs of all three, there is enough room. However, there may be a problem with the diameter of the charger. It may be slightly too large for the prongs of the mount to close all the way. That could probably be fixed by putting a little padding on the prongs, though.
