Arrived on time. Works great. On cm9 (turls v9) it auto loads car mode. Using carhome ultra from the market. Audio works great out of the included USB audio adapter. Also fits my phone with a mesh case which is awesome.

Got mine from Amazon about a month ago for about $35 shipped overnight.
LOVE.IT.
I run Car Home Ultra and Mort Player for music. Sweet.

Especially nice if you use high-quality MP3s and have a decent head unit. Couple of weeks of non-repeating tunes to carry with me.
Jamming along on the highway and the music softly ramps down to mute when a call comes in ... then unmutes when they hang up.
Sound through the speakers is amazing (use GOOD cables.)

Oh, and get a nice 2.1A USB socket (I like Satechi.)

I have just received my car dock today after ordering it from amazon (uk).
The dock itself is easy to assemble and you have the option of either attaching it to the windscreen or there is an enclosed disc which you can stick on your dashboard and then attach the car dock assembly.
There are two usb cables suppiled (one LONG and the other short) and the long one has an audio adapter joined onto it at the base. There is also a usb charger included.
My phone has a mesh cover and, leaving out an included spacer, I am able to fit the phone into the dock without having to take the cover off.
I have had a quick try out whilst driving and it is an enjoyable experience and that is with using the motorola 'car' app.
This is the first time I have had a car dock and I would recomend this item.

Just a heads up to all you new car dock owners: sure, you could use the window mount and that plastic mount for the dashboard.

But, if you wanted to, you could also use this following product that lets you use the car dock in your vehicle's air vents:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0015A6YN6/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8

If you use this adaptor for the air vents, it'll also help in keeping your phone cool while it's on the dock, especially on those hot days where having it on the windshield mount exposes it to the sun's heat even more so.

I've been using this for months now and it works very well and fits the car dock as if it were made for it.

Enjoy!

Love this dock, but it overheats in summer. Also it loses suction occasionally... might break the screen on my transmission stick.

What's your point?

I'm just responding to your overheating/suction issues by saying "you can solve both of those issues by doing this:...".

but if you don't want to put your phone near the vents, that's fine, too.

ifalldownalot,


You are using that model with your OEM dock?
I hope so, because I just pulled the trigger on one.
Screw it, $4.98 via 2 Day Air. Not a huge deal.
if by "that model" you mean the link I posted, then yes, I am using that with the OEM Motorola car dock.

I'll take a picture of it in a bit and post on here.
