Just ordered a Brodit Active Holder for my Kaiser. It is really nice since you can also use it horizontally and slide out the keyboard...

The cheapest I found was here: http://www.pdaplus.nl/catalog/brodit-m-1.html Although it is not in stock right now... But I emailed them and they said they are expecting the first shipment end of this week beggining of next. So I went ahead and ordered one since they are the cheapest.

Do you know if the Brodit active holder has an output for an external speaker? and an input for an external microphone?

Frans,

Mine is in the backorder so I do not have it yet...
But from what I read there is no output, it is just for charging

Frans,

there is an alternative:
1. http://www.expansys.nl/p.aspx?i=157109&asource=154149 this is just the holder....
2. http://www.expansys.nl/p.aspx?i=157108&asource=154149 fullduplex carkit.... and if you ever buy a different device you can always just buy a different holder.... http://www.carcomm.nl they make stuff for a lot of devices... I just find it a bit too expensive.

Yes, that is what I looked for..
but indeed, the price is really high..and as far as i can see, no possibility to use the keyboard.

I hope your Brodit Activ holder will satisfy.

My Holder has arrived...

Well I am impressed. I use Brodit Proclip already for a while, and still have a holder for my MDA PRO, but this is just perfect... Stable and, we dutch say, "Degelijk". Extremely happy with it. Turn it and the device is in horisontal stand and if you slide the keyboard TOMTOM is changing orientation as well. The Place where the mini USB connector sits is completely sealed, I think it is molded although you see a seam , but I think it is glued not with a glue but by heat. So I am afraid you can not just take it apart...

Mine will be here tomorrow. Got upgraded shipping from proclipusa.com since my order was delayed due to stock issues.

Cannot wait to get this mounted in the truck. I've had a proclip mount for my Axim for years now.
