We use a Droid car dock, charges and keeps the screen on.

 

Works as a fwd view camera on the droid2 also.

 

Ram mount

 

I use the TomTom dock for my iPhone...will get the the HTC car dock when I get the OneX. Smart phone junkies unite!!

 

I put it in my cup holder.

 

I would like to keep it out of the sun as much as possible. i have a healthy overclock on it annnddd it might get a little hot up in the sun during my commute. just thinking outloud looking for others to brain storm with.

 

I made a mount that is similar to this... http://www.quadratec.com/products/17017_005.htm out of 22ga sheet metal. and an arkon vehicle mount like this... http://www.amazon.com/Arkon-Vehicle-Specific-Mount-Adapter/dp/B002CQTYIO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333508813&sr=8-1 I have a template if anyone is interested. I can try to get a pic later too.

 

EXACT same thing i did

 

I agree with Curbs. Can get all types of mounts and holders and trade them out as need be. Ram mount rules

 

I absolutely love the set up I put together for my Droid 3

since I have the base model Sport, I didn't get the mygig or any stereo half worth a damn.

So I had to figure something out for my music needs without having to struggle with the darn phone in the cup holder and aux cable mess, plus it'd be nice to have quick access to google maps.

I got the standard Motorola windshield dock for it and got an extra, extra long AUX cable. I ran the AUX cable inside the dash over to the headunit and I wired in a new AUX port onto the back of the headunit and plugged the cable in there, now I have my music, AND a make shift hands free calling function.

This dock also has a charging function which I plan to integrate into the Jeep eventually as well.

 

Looks very similar to the Verizon HTC Thunderbolt dock I am presently using

 

I use a cupholder mount that I got through Amazon... you can see it in this pic sticking up from between the seats:

HOWEVER, since my wife recently upgraded her phone, I wiped/ rooted/ loaded a custom ROM on her old Droid I & have been thinking about turning it into an entertainment device & mounting it in the Jeep. Of course, I'll have to see about integrating it into the new radio as well:

 

I like that idea use it like an Ipod

 

This is what I use. It's called a portagrip 2000. It has a suction cup option but I still ended up using clear silicone with the suction cup since it didn't stay stuck. I've got a automatic so I don't use the ebrake very often but I can swivel it out of the way If I need the ebrake. I've got the iPod interface cable running under the center council and the cable comes out about half way down the ebrake handle (if that makes sense) it works pretty nice.

 

Haha shit! U found my stash!!

 

I ordered one of these because I'm sick of always buying new mounts for $30+ a pop every year. Just arrived today. After a highly technical shake test, it holds the phone very well. So well that I'll attach it to my motorcycle and give it a whirl as well.

The lines are where the bracket is bent.

I can email a PDF of the template if anyone is interested, too. Then you should be able to just print and cut it out.

Sorry, I had to use the phone to take the picture so it's not in the mount. You can see the aux cable and I can run a charging cable up to it also.
Texas guys might recognize the Gilmer red dirt in every crevice

 

Awesome! Thanks MAC!

 

 

What is that above the switches.

 

I use this one.

 

I use the bracketron tube clamp mount in the RR dash organizer. Cheap and easy. Don't have a pic.

That mountek mount is slick....anyone got a "clear" picture of this being used with a stock stereo?

 

I used my mountek mount yesterday on a 4 hr drive. No problems and my phone has the extended battery so its even more difficult to hold. I'll get a pic later.

 

since i got my new to me 2011 i haven't really found a spot yet to put my phone. the cup holder seems like its deeper than it was in my 08. i've put it up on the windshield in the little tray they have there, and there is also a little spot underneath the emergency brake that i've put there as well. but since i have the uconnect option it really doesn't matter where i put it. :thankyou:

 

Goaterguy, please post a pic when you get a chance, I'm very interested in this mount. Do you use it in the CD slot or in the vertical gap next to the radio?

 

Vector Off-Road E-dock

I finally got around to installing my Vector Off-Road E-dock along with a Ram Mount set-up

RAM-B-231U UNPK RAM W/ U-BOLT FOR 3/4" TO 1" DIA.
RAM-HOL-UN7BU UNPKD X-GRIP UNIVERSAL HOLDER W/ 1" BALL
RAM-B-201U-A UNPKG RAM DBL SOCKET ARM B BALL A LENGTH

The picture is not the best. But the setup works great for my iPhone while it is still in the case.

^^^This on this ...vvv

Have an iPad attachment for the system as well. Works great!

 

I would love to know how you wired your aux port onto the back of the stereo.. Could you explain it for us?

Sent from my JK in a parking garage waiting for jury duty.

 

I use this stuck to my windshield. No problems in the years I've been using it. $20 on amazon.

They've got this one with a beefier suction cup mount and a more robust arm that sticks out a little further than the one I use for my phone. I use this set up for my GPS and again, have had no problems.

Best part of about Ram Mounts, they're designed and manufactured in the USA. :thankyou:
