I came accross this for my Advantage on ebay and wanted to know if anyone has tried it. One of my main concern about the cradle is it's weight when the Advantage is in it, will it be a bit too heavy? Any feedback will be greatly appreciated. The link is below.

I recommend the Brodit stuff from www.proclipusa.com. I have the passive holder and it works great. I'll add a link to the thread where car holders were discussed at length.
EDIT: Here's the link. My solution is in post #50.

Due to the fact that I will not be using the keyboard with this unit I will go with the Herbert model instead, with the telescopic vibration free arm. Thanks for the help though.
I saw someone post a Herbert Richter Vent holder in a thread about car kits (I tried to post a picture, but I'm not allowed to) and I see you can buy it on ebay, but how does the HD2 attach on to it? I assume you need a holder for the HD2 to clip into it, but I can't find one? Are there any?
I suggest you post in this thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=598418
Was probably the one you were looking for but could not find.
Also to help in future google search on XDA...http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://forum.xda-developers.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all works a little better than the forum search tool.
Good luck.

Something like this:
<Had a picture here but since im a new user and no moderators decided to do what they should be doing I cant post a pic>
So how do I become "permitted"?
Was looking around for just the sat nav holder and saw a lot of these running around ebay.
Anyone brought any?
Opinions?
YO

you need to have a little more posts to be able to post links/pics.
Anyway, I bought my car windshield holder for ~4eur shipping included from a UK seller (just search for the cheapest car holder for hd2), it's got a flexible arm (I still preferred the rigid, rotable/articulated arm of my previous holder, but it's suction end was spoiled) and I have no big complaint until now, except that if you need precise positioning, doing it with flexible arm is cumbersome.
Has anyone made or used a car mount that holds the Captivate with Bodygloves case installed? I am not looking for the universal kinds that you put the phone in and squeeze the sides, I would like something more custom.
I recall seeing some people using a gps mount and heating it slightly to adjust the clip so that it would hold the phone tightly. Can't recall more details on which one but perhaps this will lead you to being able to dig up the thread.
I recall that one too, I was hopeing maybe someone found an off the shelf item that might fit the body glove.
I posted mine in the Accessories subforum, where this post should have been made.
The GPS. Mount mod work fine on my phone with bodyglove on it.
Anybody know if there is a car mount available that is either specific to the Holiday, or one that is universal but works just as well? I want to try iOnRoad:
Not that I need it, because I'm a good driver.. lol just curious as to how well it works. Plus, I use navigation on occasion and it would be nice to have a real mount rather than propping the phone up on the dash or holding it.
Here you are.
Awesome. But, you know, I can't really Google any car mounts Vivid users have already tried out and experienced for themselves. Because even though I have, I haven't found any. So that's really why I asked. Nice try, though.

next time, maybe you should check the google links before trying to be funny... you know... the ones that don't actually have mounts for the vivid...
thanks.
While they don't have one for the Vivid/Raider yet, I've always used ProClip mounts (Brodit outside of North America). They come in two pieces, one custom fit to the vehicle and one custom fit to the phone, and I like it very much. I've emailed them to see if they'll make a Vivid mount, but they gave the standard "We don't know what our plans are" answer. If people are interested, email them, maybe if they get enough questions, they'll actually make one!
The ProClips are ok. I've used them before. However, I've really grown to like the Scosche universal that you can find at Walmart. It uses two small bottom feet and has sticky gel on the back to hold the phone.
It comes with a windshield mount. When the gel loses its stick, just clean it with a damp rag. Mine has lasted through three cellphones and going.
Kensigton Universal Car Mount
I just bought this a few weeks ago and it work excellent with the Vivid, it holds the phone securely and has very minimalist design. To remove the phone from the holder is just a press of a button. I used the vent clip mounting option, as I prefer not to obstruct the windshield with anything. Below is the link to the product page on Amazon, which is where I bought it from.

I picked up a thunderbolt dock last night at Verizon (only $10) cut off the left side (farthest from plug) and it fits and world really well, im ganna add some foam to the back so it fits in better and more securely.
I am actually using a Kensington iPhone car mount (can't post a link yet) granted my Vivid isn't in a case but its only about $10 on Amazon and it holds the phone snugly while given access to the charging port and can rotate from lanscape to portrait easily.
The only issue I have is that the mic on this phone is so weak that I can't be heard on the phone if I answer on speakerphone while driving. Does anyone know a fix for this?

I'm using the same Kensington car mount. Bought it off Amazon because I saw it on sale for 6 bucks. Works quite well!

Anyone know if htc makes different cradles for their car docks? I recently looked at an htc car mount/ dock for an evo 3d and it looks like an amazing mount with superior quality. I found a way to take off the evo 3d specific "cradle" and was wondering why they designed it that way if I couldn't find any other cradles online. It would totally make sense if I could go to a parts website and just buy the cheap cradle part. The mount is clearance at Best Buy so this would be the best inexpensive option I think.

What is funny is that I googled that and got this thread, so I clicked your link and it returned this thread, so I clicked your link...
Help, I'm stuck in a loop.

Ive actually been in the market for a vent mount myself. I dont like window mounts mainly because they put your phone where it's sitting right in the sun the entire time its in the mount. Vent mounts help some to keep it out of the sun. I haven't bought one yet, but I plan to in the near future. However, before I do, I think I'm going to try this first. Found it in another thread, thought I'd share it here too.

My personal favorite is still the Mountek.
My first mount for my Inspire was a mountek. It worked great for what it is. I read somewhere that:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0052G6IRG/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
can be modified to fit the phone. Mine is due to arrive tomorrow and found this thread looking for the other thread lol. IIRC you have to modify (or cut off for the less handy) the portion of the mount that curves around the top of the phone (mic jack area). No worried as the USB port with firm top/bottom clamping should hold the phone from lateral movement in landscape modes. I definately would not try to have it hold the phone upside down when modified.
Try a type similar to the Rocketfish Universal mount...
Hi guys,
Just recently got the Vivid. Best Buy sells the Rocketfish Universal mount for about $25 or so. I'm sure there's something similar out on the web...I like this mount because I can move the arms/feet around the buttons and still secure the phone in mount. Useful if you have a GPS (like google navigate doesn't do a fair job) or another phone that you swap in and out with...
Would love to find a mount suitable for a '95 Honda VT1100 (though with some velcro strapping the Rocketfish would work. Any suggestions there?

Try installing "Equalizer", from the AppBrain market. It really will boost the sound quality both ways, and it's customizable.

Does yours allow the phone to actually charge properly? Mine it just slowly drains, figured I would see what your results were before dropping even more money on yet another cig lighter to usb port. My current one is spec'd to 500mA so if its functioning its provides the juice.
EDIT: Tested in car mode attached directly to the charger and it still slowly drained. must not be the dock then :/

I have a vent mount and bike mount for both Vivid and Inspire using Seido Surface cases. Fitment is excellent.
