Polaris Navigation Upgrade Kit

[Abbsta]

What's in the box:

HTC Touch Cruise Car Charger
HTC Touch Cruise Gooseneck Device Holder

Due in Feb. Although pictured, the GPS antenna wasn't listed but I'm hoping it's included. If so, not bad for £29.95 me thinks.

Isn't this for the Trinity?
The car holder shape has to be for the Polaris.. this is abit too rounded.

 

[Abbsta]

I wouldn't know mate. I saw it on HTC's site listed under accessories for the Polaris. But considering the location of the the GPS socket etc, you are probably right.

Is this available for the Kaiser?

I want this so bad, does anyone know if there is something like this for the Kaiser?

Considering that the Polaris Nav Upgrade Kit is available in Feb, I suspect that they do not yet have a picture of the Polaris version and are using this to give us an idea of what it is that we are waiting for.

I don't think this one is but I found a Brodit one here. I'm sure other brands will follow if not available already.

Hello Abbsta,

thanx for the answer, not good.....
The Brodit doesn´t fit 100%, i had it here at the weekend and send it back. Only 99%, the 1% is to put the orbit 2 in the brodit, you need to much power, you have to push it hard and then you even don´t get it out without more power to pull it out *autsch*. i think it´s only 1/10 millimeters, but these 1/10 millimeters doesn´t fit to 100%

Hello Harry,

Thanks for the feedback and hope you have a better luck next time.

Personally I'm waiting to see that pack that I initially posted. Not exactly like that picture but same product for Polaris as it would be perfect for me when renting cars and travelling across Europe.

Will this pack only be available at expansys, or also in shops like amazin? I think the shipping prices at expansys are an unbounded cheek

 

[wywywywy]

For the record, the Orbit 2 comes with this kit as standard.

I know, HTC original-buyers don't and have to keep waiting, not fair...

I got one of these supplied with my Orbit 2 when I got it from the O2 shop earlier this month. The cradle fits perfectly but the gooseneck is a bit too short for fitting in a convenient place on a raked windscreen. I use the cradle with the fixings from an XDA IIi vent mounting kit and its great for me.

[Abbsta]

Cheers for the info Neil. I'll have a look at vent mounting kits.

I find expansys Germany taking me for a ride, postponing the release date of this package on and on. They postponed it every two weeks since the end of february, I'm really pissed, how's that in other countries?

Brodit does the best vent monthing kits.
