Hiya folks,
I do a ton of driving and my last phone holder has finally bust.
I've had my XZP for a couple days now and would like to get a holder suited for it, does anyone make an active cradle for it? Or a good holder? Ideally window mount but I'd happily screw one in if it's good enough.
Thanks

Seconded !
I have been using a Spigen with my Z5P very satisfactorily for 18 months and will now simply substitute the XZP in its place. Only change needed is a USB C cable or uUSB to C adapter.

I was using dedicated Brodit holders for Xperia V and Z3c
For XZP curently there's no dedicated holder, so I ordered and mounted generic version yesterday
https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00BTHSOWO
You'll need a car specific adapter in addition. This usually fits in dashboard without the need to fasten it with screws
Really like the Brodit bracket system. Had one for my Z1, since then have had other phones not supported (currently S6 Edge+ but upgrading to the XZ Premium soon) so I got a generic holder (current one has wireless charging) and stripped it down and attached the old Z1 Brodit ball/socket to the new holder and it works great.

Has anybody seen a car holder for the HTC Touch HD? Not the univeral ones which fit for a lot of different devices. I mean holders like the ones from Richter or Brodit.
I couldn't find any touch hd specific ... looks like these vendors are slow with expending their product portfolio!
As usual for every new phone, i order the Herbert Richter product
http://www.clove.co.uk/viewProduct....category=00394707-5A1A-4D70-98A5-4CD5F1638611
Waiting for avaibility....
so youbuy the holder bit (as you have linked), whats the other part youhave to buy (apart from the phone )
Brodit car holders are here
Hi there,
The holders for our Touch HD's have arrived at the Brodit-site:
http://www.brodit.com/?main=searchb...owModell=D0B8AFF1-0D4C-403F-AF24-7CBF0151CE61
I don't know about other countries/suppliers, but in the neterlands, www.pdaplus.nl says the will have them in 1-2 weeks...
Well spotted Nooky, not even on their news page yet! This is the one I have been waiting for. Any UK suppliers yet?
Can you also use this holder in landscape mode?

DSL Developments, http://www.dsldevelopments.com/. Very helpful and now have them available to order. How soon they'll ship them, no idea.
They also offer a 3-in-1, with:
- Mini USB for charging
- 3,5 mm audion for sound out
- HTC Ext USB for original headset
Surely, if it only attaches to ExtUSB the 3.5mm and the ExtUSB for headset won't work? Connecting a HTC Headset from Polaris certainly fails on HD ExtUSB...

Found them this morning, but 60 quid for the molex one? Bloody hell.. Getting the lighter socket one and will rewire it myself I think.
Hi,
Brodit relesed their holder series for Touch HD.

They are great and I use them for a while now.

If you buy the "tilt swivel" version; you can.
The opening to slide it in will remain on the short side, so if you tilt the holder 90 degrees the phone is held by the upper and lower side and the left OR right side (with the usb-plug).
I have had several holders from brodit for my HTC phones and the phone is always held so tight (without scratching!) that you won't have to worry that the phone will slide out sideways when in landscape-position.
Anyone used the Brodit Holder with their ProClip Mounting over the vent? I prefer not to drill holes or stick it!
I've used a Brodit Proclip on my last three cars, brilliant fit every time, latest is over the vent. Recommended.

Yes, I normaly use proclip over the vent so that I'll have the phone near to me and in clear view.
Brodit has amazing produts made of very good and solid plastic. Not like some low cost holders that you might find.
But I think it all depends on the car you have. Brodit normaly has several sugestions to place the proclip, so I think they have it for everyone taste.

I've upgraded from a HTC Trinity (which came with Herbert Richter car mount) and this works very well with the Touch HD - it's a slightly tighter fit, but very stable and allows the car charger to fit easily. Thought some people may find this useful at least as a stopgap until the proper Touch HD one is available
Hi,
What about a good holder that attaches to your windscreen? The Brodit ones are all very well but what happens if you are using a different car? Say if you go abroad and get a hire car, will the brodit holder be able to transfer?
the previously mentioned: Herbert Richter car mount uses a sucker. i am trying to decide between that and the brodit. Herbert Richter car mount isnt out yet for the HD.
Do either of them allow you to use it in landscape as well?
You can buy a sucker for the Brodit too if you prefer (or additionally):

...until you want to use another car I suppose.
With my n560 I have been using a Brodit activ holder in combination with a Herbert Richter Mounting device for the window. Therefore you only have to buy an adapter-plate for approximately 5€.
the best would be a richter/HR-compatible plate as i have the acessoiries for other handsets in this system
I'm using my old HTC Hero Richter plate. Fits okay and no marks yet on my white Blade after 3 weeks use.
Mine sits in my old G1 cradle
Sent from my ZTE Blade using Tapatalk
I'm using one of these, got it on ebay:
"PREMIUM WINDSCREEN CAR HOLDER FOR SAMSUNG i900 OMNIA"
It fits well enough, and is cheap
My first post here, so they wont let me include a link.
Try Nokia CR-115, check out the photos from a Portuguese site.
http://www.androidpt.com/index.php?...88346&limit=10&limitstart=10&Itemid=30#101059
could anyone of you make a foto with the blade inserted in the plate ?
to the nokia and maybe the i900: i clearly want a richter-compatible solution as it is the most comfortable way for me
but the first thing, i will try now, is to use a clingo necklet and try to maybe mount it on an old plate or cutting the richter-holes into it. dont know, if it is a good idea, but we´ll see

even if there where marks, i would not care. not even my original backplate fits perfectly. but it is a 100€-handy, it is the cheapest smartphone, i ever had. and as long, as the screen doesnt get hurt, i dont care. it just has to be stable on the mount.
Buy an universal from eBay like this one http :// cgi.ebay.co.uk/CAR-WINDSCREEN-HOLDER-MOUNT-ORANGE-ZTE-BLADE-NEW-/280635418963?pt=UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL&hash=item41572ca953
like i mentioned several times: i will not use a new system just because of one handy... and universal ones are crap
Hi,
you can buy brodi specific support.
i've just order one, I used one for my iPhone for 2 years and it's really good support.
ref : 511235 Passive holder with tilt swivel (http://www.brodit.com/)
regards
looks good. i just have to find any reseller in germany
The Arkon slimgrip is well worth a go, I got one last week from ebay for £14.
It comes with a windscreen suction mount and a piece of plastic that you can stick to the dash as an alternative place to mount it.
Once your sure it's stuck to the screen you have a great range of adjustment in it as well.
Im using a universal holder from ebay.Was cheap and does the job well.
I have always used Brodit cradles for all my devices over the last few years. I find them reliable, very strong and easy to put together.
For some reason Brodit havent released a cradle for this device yet - has anyone got any ideas where i can get one that is for vents?
thanks

There are a few on ebay in the $12-15 range and some on Amazon in the $25 range. I just did a search for Samsung 7.7 vent mount.
sorry - for got to mention - i already bought one from ebay - that is the problem - hence my post
the ones on ebay are flimsy, lowsy horrible things...make sure you dont buy one. the ball and socket which allows it to swivel lost its stiffness after about 10 minutes of use and i just took it off. also the connection to the vent is weak at best. the connection to the actual plastic is so weak that when I turned a corner once the thing fell out!
i had a galaxy tab 7 inch and the brodit cradle for that was nice and solid - you would have to tug hard to move it anywhere - also the ball and socket was adjustable by just making the screw tighter

U r a legend! I been checking that site for months and gave up last week!
Always the way!
Hmm I've bought the official car mount already,
and i'm waiting it to arrive...
Just wondering, what's the advantage of car vent compared to car mount?
isnt' carmount more universal? because with this you have to choose clips specific to your car?
Very tempting, the good is that for my car, Dodge Caliber, there two options, the vent and center console, i might go with the center console option
Edit: i went to the US retailer website but they do not have the tab holder listed yet only the one for the original tab, but they do have the vent and center console mount, the mount is $29.99 a bit much and i wonder how much will be for the tab holder.

It's not available in the US on the ProclipUSA website. Didn't know brodit and Proclip were somehow associated. Always bought Proclip, thinking it was designed and made in the USA? Maybe it is.
Whatever the case, I just called Proclip, it will be available in the USA next week, they'll send me an email about it. Can't order it right now.

Finally got mine and it sits solid as a rock to the left of my HTC sensation XE!! sweeeet!!
bluetooth straight to audio my JVC AVX55 stereo!!! while the htc goes to the handseat bluetooth
I agree that Brodit mounts are superb - I got mine - Brodit Passive Car Cradle Holder Tilt Swivel for Samsung Nexus S (#511227) from Amazon UK. It is rock solid.
My Brodit from Proclip arrived Thursday. Its really nice. I originally had a ram mount in my truck for the Motorola xoom. The Proclip is nice but I ordered the console mount instead of the vent mount for Toyota 2005 Tacoma. I'm using the console mount piece as a cable organizer and just bolted the pro clip backing to the Ram mount fitting since the holes matched. I am hoping to post pictures and review soon.

Found this today while looking for a new car stereo, all I can say is WOW!
It's purpose built to be used with the Xperia phones - acts as a phone dock and charges through the charging strip. I've seen pricing is going to be $250 and it'll be released in May, hopefully it's available in the UK at a reasonable price.
Not sure if this youtube link will show up correctly.

Just checked the specs and it seems that this is compatible with over 15 xperia devices so it would be safe to assume it would be compatible with the z2. I think the thing that let's it down is that it does not come with any form of charging capability though

Well, my Samsung Note 3 dock is the same way. It doesn't have a built in charger like the Galaxy S2 dock used to. So I have to plug in a micro-usb car charger separately. I got a magnetic car charger from Amazon, so I'll probably end up doing something similar for the Z2.
I may go ahead and order the Sony one; speaking of which, I received the dk36 magnetic charger today as well.
And I think that is the direction I'll go. Official dock + magnetic charger. Currently have the official HTC one x dock and the quality of that is significantly better than any other 3rd party cheap dock I have tried before. Hoping Sony dock is good quality
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk
That car dock looks pretty much the same as many if the universal docks.
I think I may just have Fab my own since it doesn't look like they ever offer a proper model specific dock for Sony phones. I can easily modify a cheap hard case with a magnetic charger attached to it for more functional and easy to use dock.
This is one thing I'll miss about Motorola(assuming they've continued doing it), they offer cheap model specific docks that use the same ball mount as Garmin so you options on how you mount it in your car.
I got my magnetic dock the other day, it's smaller than I thought it would be. I was hoping I could put a NFC tag on top of it to trigger some tasker tasks but I don't think it will be close enough to the sensor.
Sent from my Venue 8 3830 using Xparent Red Tapatalk 2
It looks to me like that dock is a unit that you mount in-dash. Once you put the phone in the cradle it "becomes" the head unit. One major benefit to having a built in radio tuner in the phone. Seems pretty awesome to me.

Guys, does anyone know where to find a standard car dock with the side claws not covering the magnetic charging port?

I got one from Crutchfield and installed it a couple of days ago - works good so far! I've posted a review on Amazon.
That said, I would probably have chosen a device-specific cradle from Brodit/ProClipUSA if one had been available for the Z2 by now - their Z1 cradles seem nice (and I've had good luck with their previous products for other phones).

4 stars - good enough for me!
Still waiting on the replacement facia as my Mazda 2 won't take a double din (or single din) without it. Really just hoping the cables I've got for the steering controls work as the manufacturer (Connects2) advised. Heard the Axxess ASWC-1 that you have would definitely control all the functions but the Connects2 guy advised theirs also works and I got it at a fraction of the price compared to the ASWC-1 which seems to be a US product.
Considering the size and weight of the Rog2, finding an appropriate car holder could be a challenge.
Do you use the Rog2 for in-car-navigation?
Have you found a robust, stable car holder to support it? If so, what model?
i use this, and it's perfect:

so i recently started using my ROGPHONE 2 a lot and i found out my previous iOttie car mount doesnt fit my phone with the Aero Cooler attached.and taking it off and on is such a hassle. any idea what car holder works?
magnetic mounts are a no go as in Indonesia the roads has a lot of potholes and a lot of unregulated speed bumps.
