The holder with 3-in-1 adapter is the choice for you who want to connect a headset to your device while charging it. You can also connect the device to your stereo AUX input in order to play MP3-files. 40 cm adapter cable. When you put the device in the holder, it is automatically connected to:
- Mini USB for charging
- 3,5 mm audion for sound out
- HTC Ext USB for original headset

The holder is designed with a tilt swivel, this means that you can adjust your device in order to avoid reflections in the display. The O2 XDA Orbit 2 holders have a perfect fit and holds the O2 XDA Orbit 2 firmly in place.

Attach the holder onto a ProClip Mounting Platform in your vehicle and you will have your O2 XDA Orbit 2 in easy reach -safe and convenient.

Going to get me one of these I think

[wywywywy]

Looks good!
(Really expensive though!)

Looks good.

but tell me, what happens when you slot your TC into the cradle? My experience is that this type of set-up defaults the audio out to the USB/3.5mm socket and therefore doesn't let you play your sat-nav instructions through the TC speaker.
Fine if you want to play through the car's audio system, but not so good if you want to listen to the car radio and use your sat-nav at the same time.

Is there some way to force the audio through the speaker with this type of cradle?

Yes that is correct, I'm not sure of any reg haks to push the sound through the TC speaker when docked.... although i guess there will be as when docked the TC will play your ring tone through the speaker.

It would be good to hear from someone who already has this. I think I'll get one but didn't get clear answers to all my questions when I asked the supplier. It sounds like:

When it's plugged in, if you do not use the headset or a BT headset, and answer the call using the handset whilst plugged in, you will get the sound through the speaker but there will be no mic so you won't be heard.

As for TomTom, if you want to listen to the radio, surely you'll be able to select the sound off menu item in TomTom.

Also, if you unplug your 3.5mm from the device, you could plug it into the headphone jack of an ipod and listen to an ipod through the stereo.

I'm gonna buy the 40cm one and put the 3 in 1 in the glove box. I've also spent £8 today on a cigarrette power socket for the glove box.

Should be cool if it all works well

Question:

Answer:
Yes that is correct, I dont have this mount but i use the same 3-way adapter, I use an old HTC headset which includes a MIC, i chopped off the leads to the earbuds and just route the mic in where the speedo is. The 3.5" outet does not support a MIC AFAIK so you have to use a mutliated HTC headset

Question:
As for TomTom, if you want to listen to the radio, surely you'll be able to select the sound off menu item in TomTom.
Answer:
When using tomom, sound will be routed to the 3.5" outlet and the HTC outlet. There may be a cab out there that can route sound to the Touch speaker even when connected to a HTC jack.

Question:
Also, if you unplug your 3.5mm from the device, you could plug it into the headphone jack of an ipod and listen to an ipod through the stereo.
Answer:
Mmmm think you have this the wrong way here, what your actually stating is you connecting your IPOD to your PDA.... In theory the 3.5" jack output is for attaching a tape adapter, FM transmiter or just earphones oh and maybe a 3.5" male to 3.5" male if your stereo takes a 3.5" aux input and also a 3.5" to left ad right RCA type...
Connecting your ipod to the 3.5" will not make it come through the stereo

Hope this helps
