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.

Thanks neonoxDE!
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
http://www.gpsforless.co.uk/product_details.php?id=16170
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 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

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...

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.

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.

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.

[/B][/B]A couple of quick pics.I will post some more in van later.

Quality idea
The above wouldn't be legal in California, due to it being attached to the front windshield.
I've ordered this:

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!

can't find it on ebay? Only find some with 1 suction cup.... also found this on DX:

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.

Here you go, a couple more pics.
The mount itself isn't just designed for the TF. I think it is universal. The sides are adjustable and release the TF via the switch underneath.

I'm in the market for a low-profile horizontal mount for my i717 Note, but I'm not having much luck finding one.
The reason I need a low-profile mount is because I drive a Jeep Wrangler that has a very high dashboard. I purchased the Exomount seen HERE, and it holds the Note just fine; however, it stands up way too high and therefore blocks too much of my windshield.
The two low-profile options I'm considering (so far) are:
1. ME-USDM: i.Trek Universal Dashboard Mount
CONCERN: The clamp may not open up wide enough to hold the Note? (The description and comments indicate that it may only work with screens up to 5" -- such as the Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0)
2. Roadster Smartphone Sticky Pad Dash Mount
CONCERN: The right and left vertical sides may block a small portion of the screen since the Note's screen is much wider than the iPhone screen in the pictures.
Does anyone have any experience with low-profile mounts like these? Better yet, does anyone have a recommendation for something even better?
Or maybe someone with a Jeep has found an even better idea?
Thanks ahead of time!
What year Wrangler? You running a case?

Can you study the pictures in that second Ebay listing and tell me if you think the clamp that actually holds the phone is adjustable? The pictures that show the clamp empty make it look like they're at a fixed width -- I think -- which may mean the Note wouldn't fit tight... I really can't tell.
What do you think? I guess I can also email them and ask.

Well I did a little more digging and your right that one wouldn't work for you at its full opening and full closing it wouldn't work with the over size beast that we carry LOL but the one that is made for the larger tablet looks like it would. The Note is about 153mm tall no case and this closes to 150mm so if you have a case it will be even tighter.

This is what I've been using for the past four years (I'm on my third one). The mount is somewhat cheaply made. The first one was broken and left behind by somedouche that broke into my car. The second one I had broke the gears on the inside that lock/unlock the device in place after about a year and a half.. so they're not the sturdiest things ever made. But I still bought another one because the placement is perfect for me in my WRX (and they're not that expensive).
It might bounce a little, but honestly, my car probably rides rougher than your Jeep since it's lowered with aftermarket struts set on the next to stiffest setting. I don't really have any issues with the device moving/bouncing around.
I can take some pics if you want..

Bottom of the windshield, has just enough reach to get the phone over the front of center stack. Phone ends up maybe 1/3 in front of the vent, 2/3 above the dash.

over2land is actually talking about modifying a "Slipgrip," while the video is of the "SlimGrip"... and I definitely like the looks of the one in the video!
I think I'm going to grab that one and see if it works as well as it does in the video.
Wish me luck!
Edit: Just ordered the SlimGrip SM578 from here:

I'll be sure to report back with a quick review!

I bought an OSO mount via Amazon after I found the EXO mount on Amazon US. It seems to be the same product. But any of these search terms will pull up a mount that is at least similar to those two. I have mine mounted on the structured plastic dash in the middle of my Smart 451 and it didn't come off yet. And I could only find bery few ratings where people were not satisfied. I got me the mount that comes with something like an extension arm and I'm glad I did. All other mounts on my screen would put the phone too far away to operate and the other mounts that go on the dashbord would place the phone right in the middle of the windscreen and blocking the view. But both, OSO and EXO have different models to chose from.

Looks good.
Does it work with windshield ?

I'm not in the UK, but, I am using the iBolt dock and love it. It works with the entire Galaxy and Note lines. Here is the link to the Amazon UK site.

I originally bought it for my S4 but am now using it with my Note3 and have docked a S3 for grins to show people.
I'm in the UK. And you're right most of the decent mounts are us made. I only buy the slip grip mounts as they take our phone whilst in a case.
Very good quality and you can buy from them through eBay.

I'd assume so. I didn't try, but from how it holds up on my structured dashboard, a screen shouldn't be a problem. I had tried it on the smoother surface on our kitchen countertop and had problems removing it
The suction cup itself is sticky. This most likely causes that it holds strong on textured surfaces. And the cup is also thicker in material than what I saw on GPS units. The only thing that is, due to the thick material is, that it acts a bit like a suspension damping. So there is a little wiggle room when you touch the device. I'm not sure if it's clear what I want to say, but it doesn't feel like screwed or welded to something. Hope this gets it better across.
