Thank you everyone!
Wow wish I found this thread earlier..
Just got my xperia Z dock and it fit perfectly with my v..
The modification needed is very minimal. I just push the 2 small spring with my finger and voila, I have a cheap but useable dock..
My only regret was not buying 2 of these things... Lol :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Maybe a bit late to ask, but does anyone know about cheap replicas of the Xperia V dock (Sony DK25)?

You can use the dock for the xperia Z, which has a detachable spacer so the Z can fit with a bumper case around.
If you remove the spacer the V fits in if you align it to the right side.
You have to buy the dock with the spacer, otherwise the V does not fit in.

    I too made my own DIY charging dock.
    Since DK25 dock is too expensive ( about 55 $ in Ebay ) i thought to build one on my own

    So i bought these two from Ebay


    the DK26 replacement dock ( about 8 $ )

    And plastic hard case cover ( about 2 $ )

    I dissembled the Dk26 replacement dock and took out the circuit and attached that to the hard case using super glue.

    So here's the out come

    I would like to thank all the members who have posted guides on making DIY charging dock in this thread. It's you that inspired me to build mine,
    This whole process must have costed me about 11 $ ( i have saved 40+ $ ) But the most important thing is the fun i had during the process and the satisfaction after seeing it work is priceless

    A nice way to make a dock for Xperia V

    I found it for 8$ but how do u modify the dock for xperia v?

    sent from xda pro
    Sony Xperia™ V (White)
    make.believe!

    I am happy that I found this thread because I wanted to share my easy solution.
    Personally I find the price of the original dock DK25 unreasonably high!

    So I found the same cheap dock for Xperia Z (couldn't post the link here since it's my first post)
    It has a removable plastic plate for allowing docking a Xperia Z with a case.
    Removing this plate makes the thickness proper for the Xperia V.
    Moreover the side position of the phone matches exactly the pin positions on the dock (and with the correct polarity).

    So basically the only necessary modification takes less than a minute.
    it's the removal of two small plastic pieces which are designed for a tighter fit in the case of Z but push the V out of the dock.
    These can be removed easily by pushing them down/inside the dock using a screwdriver.

    BTW I already have two of them - one for home and the other attached to the cup holder in my car allowing me to use it for navigation.
