xda 2 car kit - the best car mount

---

Hi

Which is better and why: the expansys or seido car mounts ?

There have been some discussions on the pros and cons of the expansys; besides the fact that pda audio isn't pushed through the car speakers, it seems to work well. Anybody with feedback on the seido G2500 ?

Also, where is the most convenient place to install the mount - in the centre of the dash somewhere or, for UK drivers, to the right of the steering wheel ?

Cheers

Does anyone have the Seidio unit yet? According to their website still to be released.

sorry, missed that it is 'available soon'.

It does look sleeker than the expansys one though.

I'm waiting for the Seido G2500 to be released, I have not seen the other one but would really like to see any others, but so far the Seido G2500 has been the best on features and price... I'm planning on getting a bluetooth GPS as well and the Seido G2500 has an output to charge your GPS as well so its a great solution for me...

Any other sujestions?

I will probably get the seidio when it is released but the Expansys unit does appear to have an external antenna connection to mate with the connector on the XDA II, that could be useful.

As far as the BT charge facility on the Seidio G2500 I like that too but the Navman GPS 4400 unit I was planning to get isn't listed on the Seidio list of available BT charger options.

One other thing, I use the Seidio iSound wireless FM transmitter with my XDA II as an MP3 player in my car. It enables the sound to be broadcast through the car stero system. Works really well. The people at Seidio tell me that an adapter will be required for the iSound to work with the Seidio G2500 but that adapter has not been developed yet.
