Default Brodit Passive Car Holder for Desire/Nexus

As there is no bordit car holder for desire available yet, I was wondering if the holder for nexus will fit Desire as they are same size and shape? I am talking about the passive holder, so there is no issue of charging/microUSB position etc.

Anyone has tried this option so far?

I asked the same question, apparently the nexus one will not fit the desire, dsldevelopments.com will soon be stocking the brodit for the desire.
HTC Desire - ROM: 1.15.161.4

I have ordered the Nexus Brodit mount and it in fact does not fit as the Desire is 0.5mm wider and thicker.

So i have now ordered the Desire one from morpethmobiles.co.uk and should be receiving early next week so will post some pics

Are you sure they have it in stock? I had understood Brodit haven't released it yet.

EDIT: A Google search on the Brodit part number they have used 511126 show it also for the Nexus One, so I don't think this is the new one specially for the Desire. car-mounts.co.uk are doing the same thing, using the same part number for both phones.

I bought the passive holder from Brodit (the one for the Nexus) and it fits perfectly the Desire!

I am very curious when the active holder will be available for the Desire. It seems like part no. 512116 is used for it, but that is the same as the one for the Nexus One..
Current:
HTC One S Black

HTC Desire
HTC Touch Diamond (not in use anymore)
Gen.Y D2 R5.5A NLD with own cooking
Qtek S200 (not in use anymore)

Hi,

As per my lengthy post here:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=664197&page=4

I strongly advise against ordering an Active one as suppliers are in fact delivering a Nexus One Active holder, not a true HTC Desire Active holder.

To summarise my other post, the charger part of it will NOT fit the HTC Desire unless you're prepared to modify it.

Hopefully they will do the proper install version like the Touch HD had. Curly wire and lighter socket is a mess.. but I like the design of the holder.

I only needed the passive one and I already have the Proclip. Managed to get part 510126 from Mobile Fun. It is the Nexus version and I was a bit worried, as the Desire is slightly wider, if it could scratch the edges of the phone. Needn't have worried. This is the padded version so the phone does not rest on hard plastic. Very happy with it.
