A Good, Cheap Car Mount That Works With A "Cased" Device

[-haze-]

I just got my "Universal" car mount from AccStation on ebay and it's GREAT. Because it's adjustable, I can use it with my Sedio slim rubberized case and it fits perfectly. It came to only $9.00 with shipping and it comes with a car charger also.

I have a 3.5mm "MP3 Input" in my car and I'm able to use this 3.5mm/mini-USB adapter so I can listen to the music on my phone while it's charging in the mount.

Definitely worth the money and for all you people waiting for the Sedio mount, this is a less pricey alternative.

my biggest worry is that it will not stick to the windshield that great. any problems thus far?

Not at all, it's actually a pretty well-made setup. The suction cup is very strong and has a little lever on it that you press down to create stronger suction.

I was very impressed at the quality of this for the price.

Hey, do you have any pics of how it actually looks on your car? Thanks.

I'll try to get some up soon.

It would be great if these folks made a mount for the dash...say some sort of vent mount.

I have a miata with a non-standard vent that makes the arkon vent mount impossible to attach. I also want to get myself one of the 3000mah Mugen batteries and it won't fit in my current ProClip mount.

I wonder if anyone else has had a similar problem and what solution, if any, was used.

Also failed to mention that in CA, where I live, they frown on windshield-mounted anything. Consequently the mount displayed on eBay is a no-go.

I was looking for a car charger, and they're all around 13 bucks shipped. For 9 bucks on the car charger AND I get a PDA mount? Hell yea!

According to the auction, it comes went vent clips. Have you tried those?

[jackburnt]

Oh hell. I bought it. For 9 bucks, I'll give it a shot.

Thanks for the listing!

AH HA!!! That's what those things are!

I was wondering what they were, they looked like spare parts. No, I haven't tried them.

I managed to take a few pictures while I was sitting in my car today but I took them WITH my phone, so it's only pictures of the mount itself. I'll try to take some pictures of it with the device in there soon.

Good thing it comes with the vent clips. I didn't know it was illegal!

BTW, thanks for the pics, haze.

you could always mount it on your drivers side window and snake it down to right under the vent maybe :P

but i better keep that i mind when i travel to CA for business trips :/

As a followup, I got this on Saturday and it's working great so far. The vent clips worked perfect on my friend's car. But they didn't work so great on mine. However, the windshield-mount works great. It holds the phone nicely without any troubles.

The car chargers works fine as well. Hope it lasts.

Glad to see you are enjoying it as much as I am.

Good luck.

I got the one from Bestbuy, noted in a previous post.
It has a one year warranty. So far so good.
Works really good with adjustable mount.
Charger is plugged and everything seems fine.
I am in California, and have it mounted on windshield.
Not worried about it being mounted there, right nest to where
rear view mirror is mounted.

I picked up the same one as OP from ebay, and so far I am very happy with it. I have only had it a week, and although it is not super high quality stuff, it holds the Kaiser very well and attaches to the vents very securely. I can go around turns and over bumps and never worry about it falling out. For $9, it is a very nice car mount.

I can also verify that the RAZR charger that it comes with works fine with the Tilt/Kaiser.

Can you tell if it will fit the phone when the 3000mah Mugen extended battery is installed?
