The dock is just $70 in Singapore. So it should be around RM140. Buying it for a higher price means you got scammed.

Do you know where we can order it? Since I dont really travel out of country. It's kind of hard to me.

Default wooden handmade dock

I tinkered a wooden charging dock. Therefore i bought pogo pins, a DC power supply. Pieces of wood, glue, solder and needed tools I found in my father's garage .

I decided to take:
a 5V/DC power supply with a current of 2000mA and 10W ~10€
Pogo pins: F70211B130G015 by German brand Feinmetall ~ 4€ pair

The pogo pins have a low spring force of 15cN. If I remember physic lessens well and my considerations are true you shouldn't go with much higher spring force. I soldered them on a piece of circuit board and fixed it at the frame. It works great and charges fast as you would aspect with 2A.

It's not that devastating to interchange the polarity - the phone reboots.

Hello everyone at XDA. Could you give exact dimensions, you need to make the dock like yours? I would like to do the same for my SXV.

I'm sorry I don't have the paper with dimensions, I forgot it at my parents place. But it's easy, you've got a xperia V and you can measure it with a caliper gauge. The design depends on your preferences and the available pieces of wood.
Feel free to create your own!
Try to build the dock by enclosing the phone step by step. Thats the way i did it.

Thanks for the pogo pin tip.

I've ordered a smiliar pair

I'll mount these in a piece of wood so the higher spring force should'nt be a problem, then I though I'd wire them up to a female micro usb port so I can use the standard sony charger.
