Default Active Mount Wishlist for Fuze / Touch Pro

I have an AT&T HTC FUZE, and this is the car mount I wish existed. If it does exist, can someone tell me where I can get it? If it doesn't exist, can anyone with the right connections recommend it? (*cough* Brodit?)

I would love an active car mount that mounts into the cigarette lighter. I've seen one universal cigarette lighter mount, but it doesn't actually function as a charger. I would also love it to have a 3.5 MM jack, so I can plug it into the AUX of my truck and listen to music as well.

Anyone think this will get made? Seems like a very logical design, so you don't have to mount it to a windshield, and it can be easily transferred to other vehicles.

Here is a link to the passive version as an example. Obviously it doesn't have a 3.5 MM jack either.

On a side note, what's with there being no desktop cradles that give you a 3.5 MM jack? If you put the phone on a cradle, it's impossible to hook it up to speakers without it.

Is there anyone else that would want a mount like this? If no one replies, I guess there is no market for it.

I dont see a huge market for it since many people like there phones at vent level (think nav), not near their knees.

I would like such a car cradle. It eliminates the unsightly wire to a distant lighter port. If the neck were long enough, it could extend to vent level. Somebody please make one for the Fuze!

Have you checked http://www.proclipusa.com/? They have several options for the Fuze. You then pair it with the vehicle mount designed for you vehicle. I have a Ford E-150 full size van and the vehicle mount for my vehicle puts my device at the perfect location. The vehicle mount snaps in place. They do not have a custom vehicle mounts for every vehicle, but if they do, it is normally in a good location.

You mean like this: http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/tuneflexaux

Since looking for one like this for my wife's iPhone (which they didn't have at the time but now there's a few) a while back I wanted to get it for my iPod but now I'm badly wanting one for the Fuze. I've searched high and low since getting my Fuze but I just don't think it's out there or is going to come out. I think I might settle for the console mount Proclip since it mounts right in the area I like, near the power socket.

EXACTLY LIKE THAT!!! Well, it's good to know the idea has been designed and sold for the Iphone, but unfortunately, they get all the accessories in the world to choose from, and the Fuze gets very few. Here's to hoping someone snatches up this idea for the Fuze.

Default FUZE Active Mount w/3.5mm out AND Open/Close Keyboard

I would like to add the capability to flip the phone horizontally and open the keybaord while not having to take the phone out of the mount. Does anyone think there could be such a thing? Can there be if not?

Chris
