The car dock (second link) is the same one that's been on Samsung's website for a while:

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ECS-K1F8BEGSTA

It DOES NOT have the pins for use on the side of the Nexus.

I'm looking for one that does have the pins so I don't have to unplug everything when I want to take the phone in and out of the dock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stanaka1:
The description for the car dock says you can plug your car charger directly to the mount. I'm so confused. I just want the pins...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BBruin66:
Honestly I'd be happy just to use the desktop dock in my car. Double sided Velcro and stick it right to my dash. It's what I do with the car dock anyways (using the disk thing it comes with) and there's no annoying suction cup to worry about when the temperature drops. Plus it's lower profile and much easier to drop the phone in and out of. Especially when the suction doesn't want to play along.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Willieumm:
I posted this mainly because I hadn't seen the multimedia dock available yet anywhere else, I just included the car dock link in case someone wanted both.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DOS_Vader:
Seriously? $64.95 for a piece of plastic with USB headphone jacks wired to the prongs. Did Samsung subcontract this out to Monster Cables? Nice to be able to insert/remove phone wihout plugging/unplugging, but pricing is obscene.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xXJay_RXx:
Yes I made a thread asking about this about a week ago about a 3 pin charging cradle. Its finally coming out! :D.....and then I seen the price of the damn thing -.-
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
That is exactly the same thing I first noticed. As much as I want a dock for my phone there is no way I am going to spend 65 bucks on it plus another 10 dollars or so on shipping the stupid thing to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] predation:
but does the official pogo pin car dock support VZW models?

i don't think it was made for the vzw models.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EKnofsky:
Samsung® (OEM) Multimedia Desktop Dock For Verizon Samsung GALAXY Nexus SCH-I515,Verizon Google GALAXY Nexus SCH-I515

It only lists the VZW model, the GSM one isn't mentioned.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aphexjuggalo:
and why would you say its the old crappy version? just the price? the picture and discrption are of the good one. part number is even different although that could be their internal cataloging number. still no evidence of this being the old verizon model.

as for the price on the desktop dock, i'm assuming it has to do with the internals. has an hdmi output while only physicly connecting to the phone via 3-prong connector. supposedly the car dock sends audio to the mount via bluetooth and the mount is able to give you the aux output line from there. wondering if it is sending data to the home version the same way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jayrod1980:
Well I know its no iPhone 4s in terms of volume, but how hard would it be to be for an aftermarket company to make a car cradle that works with pogo connectors? All you have to do is have raised spring loaded prongs so that it would work with a tpu case.

Changed to 1/30 ...I think they are just throwing out dates
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grant H:
Updates?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxprodigyxx11:
this looks exciting. Been waiting for these for a while.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k20igor:
Desktop dock is pretty awesome, but a little too pricey. Nice find
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knyghtryda:
The description of the desk dock looks pretty off. That thing DOES NOT have an HDMI port unless it comes with an extra wire to hook into the micro USB port. Take a look here for all the official dock options which may or may not arrive. http://www.droid-life.com/2011/12/02/samsung-galaxy-nexus-docks-and-chargers-get-a-proper-fondling-prongs-put-to-use/#more-54594
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TapThat:
Try to find two DV casette cases and make this: http://imgur.com/a/wruWi#0 I'm going to add in Micro USB to HDMI® MHL Adapter soon to the bottom case and boom you've got yourself a media dock for less than $12.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Delarock:
guys did you think about one issue,that power button is at the same side as 3 gold pins ?? so inserted without root it would be pretty useless
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] senf:
I never used the power button on my Nexus S when it was docked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ridel:
It is truly amazing that the phone's been out for this long and yet even something like the design of the upcoming dock isn't nailed down. Rumors here and there. Companies throwing random dates at customers to try to get their money...

I suppose this is what a diverse ecoculture feels like. No wonder Apple does well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ganex:
the desktop dock looks very nice, why does it take so long to release it?... :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ljwnow:
Exactly. It is not rocket science.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
I used it on my nexus one all the time. If i was on a long drive i would turn off the nav display when not needed to keep the device from staying so hot for the whole trip.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
I believe those are all gsm version docks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Juvenall:
While the whole thing annoys me, I'm somewhat understanding. These sort of accessories are basically a license to print money given what they charge and how much they likely cost to manufacture. So a delay like this is likely the result of some technical issue that would prevent the thing for working as intended.

The part that annoys me is Samsung's, and to a lesser extent the carriers, complete and total silence on the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DIECAST61:
if u say nothing then u can't be called to task for getting it wrong.:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Technical issue? Must be groundhog day. Nexus one, same delay. Akso keep in mind how long its been since we saw the demo units. Are they still tweeking it? Give me a break, its a dock! and we were shown fully boxed, operational product.

My guess is that these things were actually too expensive to manufacture with the pigo pins and the demand isn't going to be high enough to make any money. Otherwise you would have long since seen competing products. Follow the money.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KidCuda:
Has anyone purchased the desk dock yet? At the completely ridiculous price... It doesn't have a delay and it says it will ship tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dreadmador:
It's actually a third, crappier than the 3 pin but not as crappy as Verizon's, version. We know this because the manufacturer part number matches the one listed on Samsung's website that does not have the pogo pins. The correct model number is ECS-K1F2BEG. Notice that the one listed in this thread has an '8' following the 'F' instead of a '2'. Minor discrepancy, but huge difference.

The only US website I've seen list the correct part number is Expansys. I have my order placed already.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Expansys just notified me that my desktop dock is shipping today
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SKYLINESSUCK:
Same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pithism:
http://www.expansys-usa.com/samsung-google-galaxy-nexus-desk-stand-226695/

you guys dont happen to have a post of the expansys usa Verizon dock link, im having a problem finding it.

or is this the link you guys are buying from above?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SKYLINESSUCK:
yup
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pithism:
its says it doesn't work with Verizon, do you guys have Verizon or GSM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Mine also, gsm not vzw. You will probably need ics 4.0.4 or higher for this to work. I don't think vzw has the ics version it needs at this point.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] breakthestatic:
I was on 4.0.3, have Verizon and have this dock and everything works fine. I ordered direct from Samsung when it was first released like a month ago. No issues fitting either the standard or oem extended battery on vzw.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Did you order the part number for the gsm or the vzw? I don't think they are the same even though they both come from samsung. Even if it does happen to fit in there I don't think the phone software will recognize that its been docked without the ics upgrade. That's why samsung stopped shipping the docks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SKYLINESSUCK:
I didn't realize there were two different Pogo docks, but they specifically note this one will not work with the LTE model.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vishious89:
I also thought that 4.0.4 was needed for the software to recognize the pin charging. Hate to sound like I'm doubting you, but you're positive its charging your phone properly, using the pins only? I was under the impression we'd have to wait until our 4.0.5 update to use the pins on the Verizon LTE model.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] breakthestatic:
My bad, the part numbers do not match. I had originally pre-ordered both, as it looked like the GSM one was going to ship before VZW's and I wanted to see if it would, in fact work. The one I have has part #EDD-D1F8BEBSTD.

This is definitely not the case (at least on the VZW Nexus dock.) I had been running AOKP Milestone 3 when I first received this dock - it was most definitely 4.0.3. The phone recognized the dock as an AC charger and could fully charge the phone in about an hour's time. Additionally, the phone was 'aware' that it was docked and would open up the desk clock application automatically. Currently I'm on a newer version of AOKP (build 31) which is 4.0.4, but I just wanted to confirm that it was working well on 4.0.3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vishious89:
Appreciate that, thanks. If you don't mind, where did you find the #EDD-D1F8BEBSTD? I've tried searching for it, but all I can find is the old Samsung page that no longer exists. Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Well you have the dock and i don't. My comments were based on what the press has been reporting and not personal experience with the dock and my gsm GN.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ericstotle:
The official Samsung desk dock with pogo pin charges great on my stock Verizon GN on 4.0.2. No extended battery. The audio line out doesn't work but I assume it will with 4.0.4. Basically a $90 charger with a 600 phone as a clock. Hoping the audio out works soon. Wish I got 2 for $90 but still appreciate how simple it is to slide in and out. Might root to CM9 once stable so I can use the volume as a power button.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
People that have the dock can they post pics of how it looks and what the phone looks like inside it?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mprziv:
So there is no way to turn off the screen when it is in the pogo dock?

That is pretty bizzarre.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Why bizarre? I think its pretty normal and i think its similar to the way the nexus one dock functioned. I imagine there is also a screen saver to prevent image burn. I don't know yet if you can disable the clock but I would be very surprised if you cant. Mine is due any day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HinotoriBR:
Bizarre because some people use the dock just to dock the phone (keep it safe in a desk and charge at the same time, this was what I used my Motorola Milestone desktop dock for), and not burn an expensive AMOLED screen to use it as a lousy Alarm Clock... :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] E15i:
From what I know, in 4.0.4 there is a "Dock" settings in settings menu, maybe there something.

PS, can you shot it from the back, and without the phone?

also I don't get it, why in dock, the screen 180 degree? I mean the soft keys on the side close to the top of the phone...looks weird to me, I remember some more people complain about it, as you can't relock the screen
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imaleecher:
For those who have the dock, is it possible to use it with the extended battery as well? I know the back cover eliminates the extra curve in the back. Would the phone still sit in the dock properly?

edit - hmm, looks like from expansys forum, one person said it still works with the extend battery attached.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Possibly to watch videos? I would prefer vertical myself but there is no vertical pogo pin desktop dock . I think you could possibly use the car dock on your desk in vertical mode but it would look hokey. I've considered it and I may do it anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
So now that the dock is available has anybody been able to figure out what the third/middle pin does?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] E15i:
Well I get the point as you can use the volume keys to view the lock screen, and control the volume, I think it go to dock mode if not used anyway, but is it lock the screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MartinW81:
Don't have the dock myself, but as I understood it from others, it's for telling the phone to go to dock-mode and for soundtransfer.

Apperently this dock dosn't use bluetooth for sound.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IDtheTarget:
Use as a car dock?

Question for somebody who has the GSM desktop dock.

I'd really like to use this as a car dock. My car has an AUX audio input, and I'd like to run a cable from this dock to that input and then power it from a 12v car-lighter jack. That way I could put the phone in the dock when I get into the car and listen to my tunes and run the Google Maps app if I'm trying to find some place.

Would that work?

Thanks!

P.S. I'm also thinking of getting a ZAGG Skin and screen protector and have already ordered the Samsung official 2000mAh extended battery. I've heard that this dock will work with the extended battery, but if I add the skin, will it still fit?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Not on the desk dock but I used it alot on the car dock. My N1 got very hot with nav on all the time so I blanked the screen with the power switch when i didn't need to view it. It stayed much cooler that way
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Dock just arrived. The fit and slide in design are incredible. Not even in the same league with the nexus one dock. Unfortunately I haven't unlocked this phone yet and updated to the pure Google build so I am still on stock 4.0.2. If I get time I'll fix that soon.

With this, no surprise, the dock is useless. It charges but it can't tell its docked and once the screen blanks you cant wake it with the power switch next to the pogo pins. I'm sure there is a software solution in 4.0.4 when I finally get it:mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
BTW, it doesn't look like anything but a stock GN with stock battery will fit. I'd be very surprised if that's not the case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imaleecher:
Thank you for that update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sansnil:
I just received the official Samsung cradle from Expansys and yes you the 2000 mAh extended battery (OEM) fits perfectly. I don't think the bigger ones would.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Does that battery use a different back?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Breezer23:
That looks great! Unfortunately, for that price, it had better come with happy endings...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aphexjuggalo:
Still hoping to hear from somebody with the Verizon model and extended battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sansnil:
It does--the Samsung 2000 mAh extended battery (GSM) uses a different back cover than the stock, also OEM. I assume since Samsung made the cradle they planned for their extended battery fit. Overall, very cool.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imaleecher:
So it's confirm? The GSM Galaxy Nexus with the OEM extended battery & back case fits perfectly with the official Samsung dock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sansnil:
Yep. There's a perfect very slight curve for it. It fits perfectly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artkrz:
You mean the car dock with pogo pins ? It still shows as pre-order on their website in UK.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
No, we are talking about the desktop dock with pogo pins. The car dock is yet to ship here in the US also.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] E15i:
Can you shot a VS the standard battery+cover then? I just remember that it made in the shape with that little bump on the back. maybe you got some user manual with it also ?

see? I see no curve here..

or that:

or that

maybe they did some design changes, I asked about the manual, because maybe it says if it fits extended battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Yes, there is a curve which you can see by focusing down at the pins. Someone has already reported that they tried the samsung extended battery and it fits. The manual says nothing about it and is actually quite worthless.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matridom:
Anyone willing to crack open their dock and take pictures of the electronics?

Maybe we can figure out how it works and make/mod our own with full Dock support.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poody:
I'm willing to bet it's the same as the Nexus One dock. Some research had been done when the N1 came out. If so, the hardware inside is of little matter, it'll just be a few chips for bluetooth, sound, and for telling the phone what kind of dock and what the bluetooth MAC address is, possibly a custom IC with all those combined.

The last I saw someone started on reverse engineering the communication between the phone and dock, but hadn't gotten far. If I had an oscilloscope I'd take a crack at it, but I can't afford one yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
If they are easy to disassemble/reassemble then I might consider it, and then take pics for others to go over and analyze on xda
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Can anyone who has received their official samsung desk dock and also has 4.0.4 tell us how the dock functions with that software?

I've had my dock a while and its pretty useless without 4.0.4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Thanks. Nice review. exactly what I needed:) Subscribed over there
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] soundwire:
I haven't opened mine as I don't see an easy way to do so, but I highly doubt it has the same hardware as the N1 dock. This dock has NO bluetooth but it does have a toslink digital optical audio out. I'm betting it uses SPDIF out from the middle pin and gnd.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] soundwire:
Here is the insides of the dock, as I suspected it is SPDIF out from the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] highvista:
The dock is working well for me. There are a couple annoying things. The fact that the power button is hidden when docked is inconvenient. The workaround is to install a power-off app. Also, I wish the USB port was accessible, so I could attach a flash drive via USB OTG. I have my music collection on a 64GB flash drive and would like to be able to charge via the dock while listening to music. I'm probably going to try to build a simple dock of some sort for this purpose.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] timmiej93:
So damn expensive..

Wow, I actually was looking for the desktop dock with charging capabilities, but I hadn't found a single one yet..

To bad it's so damn expensive.. I mean.. It's not much more then a piece of plastic with some internal electronics.. Maybe I can use the strength of the Euro in my advantage haha, but I´m afraid shipping costs will ruin the price again :(.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] timmiej93:
Well I don't know about you guys, but in my opinion these docks don't comply to our wishes. My personal wishes for the desktop dock are:

Charging not by the micro USB, too fragile for me, and making it harder to get the phone out of the dock\

HDMI out isn't needed for me and I can't imagine a lot of people using this.\

Accessing your phones memory while in the dock is a MUST for me, what is the use of it if you can't do that?\

Also the price is just way to high.. Come one, it's just a piece of plastic with some cables and connectors, you can get decent cellphones for the price of this dock...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Which dock are you referring to?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] timmiej93:
Oh my bad, the Desktop version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poody:
Very interesting. I think that pulsus chip in the middle is an audio processor, and that TI chip is a HEX inverter. Other than that I can't really tell what's going on. I'll get one in a few weeks and see if I can figure more out. I'll maybe take it to my local hackerspace and maybe capture a trace of the dock and phone talking.
