Official SGS II Navigation Vehicle Mount

[mipakr]

It is very similar in look and feel to the Captivate version (previous phone).

What's in the box?

• Mounting Plate backed with 3M tape
• Suction cup base arm (identical to Captivate version)
• Holder for SGS 2
• Cigarette lighter charger

Review: (Updated October 12, 2011)

• Audio works through the dock port when enabling it in the Settings [Settings >> Dock Settings >> Enable sound through Dock]
• Phone clips in very snug to the holder. Perhaps a little too snug as it's not easy to get the phone out with one hand.
• Built in Voice Control is great! "Hi Galaxy" "Text [contact] message 'whoa this is awesome!'"

This was just dropped off by the UPS guy. It is very similar in look and feel to the Captivate version (previous phone).

• Audio works through the dock port when enabling it in the options.

Will provide pictures later today.

Did you get it straight from Samsung or from AT&T?

Have the Infuse version, I loved it, but it's not worth the full Samsung price of $40 to me.

Anxiously awaiting pictures and a review, was thinking about getting this myself. I like the fact that it charges, and has a landscape mode which my current cheap plastic cell phone holder that goes on my air vent has neither.

The air vent clips don't even work in my car. The blades are too thin!

I would do some research on that company. I think you can use reseller ratings dot com

That's a crazy low price.

Does it use a standard micro-usb connector to charge?

 

[Sam1geois]

Samsung says these are still on back order. If you want one now, I just got one from
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005TM8DLW/ref=ox_ya_os_product

They say there's only 2 left. It ends up being $43 which is actually a little less than the Samsung website after shipping... unless Samsung is still doing that samsung#1 coupon code.

It will not take a case, it is a darn snug fit. Will update first post with pics.

Yep!

Whatever coupon code I used my total was $40.09 from the Samsung website.

Does this dock have a suction cup or does it have a adhesive tape?

Here is an alternative to the Samsung car mount that you might consider:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/320764561950?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

I have been using this for about a week and am thus far happy with it.

The construction feels a little flimsy but that is by design, I think, since due to its flexibility, it allows for useage with the phone in a case...which was my primary reason for buying it.

It slide locks onto a proprietary disk mount that has adhesive tape on one side for placement on your dash or other flat surface.

One downside is that there is no dedicated audio out connection...you have to use the phone's audio output. But that isn't an issue for me since I connect to my car stereo via bluetooth.

Rotates to landscape and charges the phone through a micro usb connecion at its base

that's a pretty big downside as the plugs aren't on the same side of the phone (what a weird design by Samsung)

neat looking mount though

Not weird. People prefer to have the charger cable coming out of the bottom of the phone when in portrait use (usually, the phone is above or at equal level to the charger).

However, they prefer the headphone jack to be at the top, so they don't have to flip the device over when pulling it out of their pocket.
