Motorola Car Dock

---

Is anyone using the Moto Car Dock? I was looking at getting one for my wife but after reading a few reviews I'm a little confused about something. I see it comes with a 3.5mm cable but do you have to use it? One reviewer said when the phone was in the dock they could not get any sound out of the built in speaker. That doesn't sound right to me but I was hoping someone could confirm or deny that bit of info.

Thanks,

Kurt

I just got my Moto Navigation Dock yesterday and am loving it. I can confirm that the dock itself does not change your audio output. It is the special usb/audio cable that changes that. If you use a normal USB cable instead of the hybrid one, the speaker on the Droid 4 still sounds.

I just went out to my car and tried this with my Droid 2 charger and the Droid 4 dock.

Also, beware because the Verizon branded Navigation Dock kit does not include any USB cable or vehicle charger. The Motorola branded one does include the hybrid cable and the dual port vehicle charger.

On a side note, my only disappointment with the dock is that the clip at the top is engaged the screen is secured from flipping open. This is unlike all the previous Moto Droid chargers, which all allowed access to the physical keyboard while docked.

If you have any other questions or want me to try out any combinations, let me know!

Thanks for the reply. What you said about the cable makes sense. That's exactly the information I needed.

Thank You.

Can you use the camera with this dock, or is it obscured by the plastic?
