[Galaxy S III Accessories] CZ Eddie:
Yep.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] robstunner:
Just ordered mine as I couldn't source any in brick and mortars locally. $19 shipped 2 day air, can't beat that.

Edit, they just shipped it out not only the same day but they overnight shipped it. Not bad for $19 :-)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BonesHopkins:
Just ordered one too. $19.25 shipped. Should be here some time this week.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Sleestax:
Ugh, I'm looking for a good car dock, but I don't want to have to drill holes and remove it from the case every time to use it. Any other recs? Arkon SM415 maybe? This is going to be the most popular android phone for a long time, so why are the accessory makers lagging so badly behind the release? The International version has been out long enough that the should have had time. Especially Seidio, since they are a German company.

Oh well, in the mean time, I just ordered two of them since they were discounted to $17.95 each (one for me, one for wife).

Thanks for the heads-up. I guess I have to dig out my drill and/or dremmel if I want the phone speaker and flash exposed.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CZ Eddie:
I would leave the flash covered. lol.

You probably don't want flash going off while you're driving. :cyclops:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] andddlay:
Got one for that price, thx for posting this! They also offered me the infuse desk dock (which would have been free in the end) but the s3 did not fit in it unfortunately.

Anyways, has anyone noticed a decrease in audio quality through aux?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] A.VOID:
I get some noise / interference with the dock when the charger is plugged in. Seems like a design flaw.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] entropism:
I just picked one of these up, and when I put the S3 in the dock it starts beeping like I have a charger plugging in and being pulled out of it, and it randomly wakes up & goes to the home screen. This is without anything being connected to the dock, I was sitting on my couch trying it out. Wondering if this is a phone issue or a dock issue.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pakraider:
sounds like a grounding issue with your car's stereo system.. try using an isolation transformer and it should clear up.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CZ Eddie:
Not me.

You may have a ground issue.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ggoldfingerd:
I'm glad I found this thread. I got the car and home dock for my Epic Touch last year when they were cheap. I modified the home dock so my Epic Touch fit. When I get my S3 tomorrow, I will try to see if it will fit my modified home dock.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] robstunner:
Works great once you download Google car home app.Very happy with it for under twenty dollars overnight and after tax.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DroidGnome:
Can anyone who has one tell me if the actual phone holder portion can be detached from the suction mount arm easily?

I already have a "ProClip" mount in my car and while I have a nice universal holder, I was thinking perhaps this could be mounted on that mount instead and I'd have the nice clip rather than having to plug in 2 cables each time.. I cannot tell from the pictures online if the mount is screwed into the holder or if it's molded from one piece.

The mount i have has multiple holes so I'm hoping one pattern will work..

[Galaxy S III Accessories] ggoldfingerd:
Yes it can, I will post a few pictures tomorrow so you can see how it works. It might be exactly how you want it to, but you can decide that for yourself.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] entropism:
Odd, trying to download Samsung's Car Home and Google's Car Home tells me the GS3 isn't compatible. Anyone else having the issues I'm seeing?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ggoldfingerd:
Here you go.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BonesHopkins:
Just got mine today. I don't think it's something I'll use on a daily basis but will definitely use it for longer trips.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] entropism:
Anyone else seeing the issues I'm seeing? Once plugged into the mount, the phone starts beeping like crazy, randomly turning the screen on and going to the home screen. This is without power even connected, sitting here on my couch playing with it, just put it in the mount.

Also, where are you getting the Car Home app? Google's version and Samsung's version are both saying it's incompatible and won't download from the Play store.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] m.a.s.e:
well... took the chance, got it hopefully i can heat the sides a lil bit so i can fit a thin case with this dock....

thanks OP
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stumanroo:
Ya know...I am looking at that 2nd picture and wondering how hard it would be to get the brain of that mount off...then rig it onto a modified holster which could possibly allow a case to be on your phone and still have the advantage of sound/power.

Then just rig that holster onto a Pro Clip Vehicle Mount and BAM...custom car mount!

:confused:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Sleestax:
I get random beeps every few minutes, but no problems with the screen. Like others, I can not see any car dock apps in the play store. So whoever is saying "just download it" is full of crap and hasn't tried to put a SGS3 into this dock. Also, the Aux cable doesn't work (assuming that gets enabled with the car dock app). So I have to plug the aux into the phone headphone jack instead of leaving it in the dock jack.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] monkey28rb:
The aux port works for me on my dock... You have to enable audio output through USB on your SIII. You do this by going to setting->Dock-> audio output mode. Make sure that is checked...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Sleestax:
Aha! Problem solved. Thanks (and thanks button)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] RikF:
I have a proclip mount in my Miata. I've done this twice now with different holders, including the Infuse one for my S3. I had the ball socket mount on my original mount (HTC Kaiser!). That is mounted with two screws to the cradle, and one large screw goes through the ball joint to attach to the mount and tension the joint. The Infuse mount is fantastic for mounting as the backplate that someone else has shown is attached but separate from the part that the phone mounts into - that is there are two separate layers of plastic. This means that you can drill through from the phone side, pop the screws into the gap and have no danger of the screw heads scratching the phone. I'll try to take a couple of shots of my mount later today to show you what I mean.

tl;dr - it works brilliantly
[Galaxy S III Accessories] artisticcheese:
Do you leave dock always there on windshield of you remove it when you don't needed? How good dock is on attaching/reattaching multiple times?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sblees:
I noticed a huge decrease in audio quality when plugged into the aux port. When I connect to the headphone port on the phone, the quality is much better. Kind of sucks to have to plug into the phone directly for audio out though.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] robstunner:
If you are rooted you can push Google home from galaxy nexus to your system apps folder and it works fine..........
[Galaxy S III Accessories] RikF:
The google car dock does register as incompatible on the store, but CarHome Ultra appears in the store and installs/works perfectly with this dock. To minimise cables I have the audio connected via bluetooth and the app launches on insert, activates bluetooth and then disables it again when I unplug from the dock. It's working perfectly for me.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ppriyank:
its weird, the dock is working perfectly with google car home app (pushed to system/app), but i like to use the AUX cable and when i play music it is ported thru my car speakers, but when i get a phone call, the phone's speakers turn on, and the sound comes out of the phone instead of car's speakers...Is this happening with anyone else?

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Sleestax:
Dock is working for me now. I hear no drop in audio quality via the integrated aux vs phone jack. My biggest annoyance is that I have to remove my phone from its case to put into the dock. Hopefully Seidio will come out with an integrated case/dock like they did for the Evo OG with the Innotravel system.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BonesHopkins:
Does anyone know if there is a case for the S3 that's thin enough so you can put the phone in this dock with the case on? The case I have is nice but it's a little too thick and it's a pain in the ass to take the phone out of the case every time I want to use the dock. This is the only thing keeping me from using the dock every time I get in the car.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mpcdata:
a dremel with the round ball 1/4 inch carbide tip works well to hone out the ears on the cradle, also the desk dock works with a little work done to it. I got both for 20 bucks when AT&T was running a special last yr.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vw671:
This is by design...same as older Galaxy phones as well as Iphones. I did not say that I agree or like it in any way...just saying that's how it's designed to work.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Eddie Bombay:
Good find, but I use my iPad car dock for my S3.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sjmoreno:
HUGE and poorly designed

Yeah, I ordered this dock and tried it out this morning and it is definitely huge. Aside from that the clips that hold it in place is mean to be used in portrait mode rather than landscape mode so the piece that your phone clips on to pops off the mount really easy. Another complaint about this dock is that in order for you to pop your phone out your thumb/finger will hit either the power button or the volume rocker on the phone.

Coming from a nicely designed Motorola Droid X phone and car dock this dock is a really major down-grade.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
I am SO confused... Why does it matter how it's mounted? The thing holds portrait for me like a champ! and to remove the phone from the dock I grab the tab and gently push out the phone by the camera. -can be done with one hand

Also, I got mine for $15 shipped :D

http://www.ebay.com/itm/110900149036?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

it did have a minor scuff on the back, but what do i care about the back?! lol Fast shipping too!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] minmongoblin:
Before I order one of these, can anyone confirm that the 3.5mm sound jack can be plugged INTO THE PHONE ITSELF while the phone is in the dock?

I read that the sound is really crappy if plugged into the dock's 3.5mm port
[Galaxy S III Accessories] willbur73:
Yes you can still plug in a regular 3.5mm plug into the headphone jack. Confirmed today.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Smeg7:
Ugh, this mount doesn't fit in my car very well. My windshield is sloped more than the average car so nothing fits! It's also very big.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CZ Eddie:
edit n/m I see it was already addressed above.

Has anyone using the Infuse dock with 3.5mm audio out, figured out how to get speakerphone working with the car stereo?

I can get music out the 3.5mm to my car stereo.

But phone calls won't do it. Phone calls go through the phone's speaker instead of car stereo.

I have a microphone hooked up to the mike input on my car stereo and I'd like to use it to make/accept phone calls.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ibleedbloo:
I just received my case today. As others have stated it is a pretty tight fit. I'm worried that over time scratching may occur. Anybody experience any damage yet or other problems to this point?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
Yesterday I used my super cheap clip on case with the dock. Case didn't seem to like it, but held like a champ in the dock!

Shouldn't scratch as it's not hard enough
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Jubmasterflex:
For those still on the fence about this case (can't imagine there are many) do yourself a favor and take the plunge. This case, especially considering the pricepoint is fantastic, best accessory I've purchased in a long time!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ibleedbloo:
Besides creating cutouts for the speaker on the back has anyone moded their dock in any other way? I'm a bit worried that snapping my phone in and out day after day will begin to cause damage to my phone.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
there is a thread a few of us have extended the clip so it will give some more room for the dock slider. I have a few more mods in mind

sorry, i'm confused what you're looking for... what's the item number in question?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] faring:
Item #: 215058. Looks like the cradle part of the Samsung Infuse mount would slide right onto this, just as it does the windshield mount, avoiding the need for either drilling through the cradle or mangling the ball mount.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] flawedlegacy:
does APPEAR like it should fit, but I would ask them for dimensions of where the clips are and see if they match up before buying.

I did a google and got a few listings but also was not sure if it had to be a "5" pin or a "4" pin would work.

Oh, and by the way, your link is for a micro extention with a standard Usb MALE "A" which is not what we need. It needs to be a MICRO A Male. We are not plugging it into the computer. I have a million of these and as you said, google returns plenty of these

Thanks again for the heads up on this deal. If anyone would like some pictures, I cam post them.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] howdyace:
Does the official dock from att come with any cables necessary for operation outta the box or do I gotta order them?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] psloan:
no cables in mine.

--pat
[Galaxy S III Accessories] RandomBlue:
Got this cable for $6.80 shipped from Amazon (prime) and it's working well with the dock and has an extra USB port on it for charging other devices. The cable is tightly curled and it's the right USB connector (for the phone directly or the dock).

I'm too new to post URLs but you can search Amazon for B004GPQTJQ

On a side note, forgot to retract the USB connector on the dock before popping out my phone (which still came out pretty easily) and once I'd realized what I'd just done, I tried putting it back in and it no longer charged/connected. I started to freak out a bit thinking I'd just busted my phone's charging port but after giving it a few more tries and pushing the connector in harder, it popped into place and has been working fine since. Whew.

BTW, the Infuse 4G Desktop dock works as well, but it's not a great fit. The phone is too wide and leans forward a little out of the cradle, but the connector does hold it securely enough, even on the side and it will launch the desktop dock app. Personally I like it better than the S3 dock because I can use it in landscape mode for videos if I want.

Again, too new to post links so just search Amazon for Infuse 4G desk dock and it'll be in the first few results. I got mine for ~$20 from another site, though it looks like some Amazon sellers are offering it for around that price.

As at least one other person has mentioned, CarHome Ultra can be downloaded and works. It's a pretty awesome app too IMO. There's a free and pro version (for $2) and it does stuff like auto-switch to night mode (based on your location and time), auto-enable/disable wifi/bluetooth/GPS when docked/undocked, display local weather, compass heading, has easily adjustable shortcuts, etc..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] goodwidp:
Infuse dock just arrived today and I have to admit I am very pleased with just how well it works with the S3. The phone snaps into the frame with no extra force needed. It literally feels like it was made for the S3. The USB charger and 3.5mm audio out work flawlessly and the sound is crystal clear. I came from having the Motorola Car Dock for the Droid X, which was a very nice piece of equipment, and I am definitely not let down by this dock. I had a universal mount from the VZW store I was using but returned it in order to try this and I'm very glad I did. For under 20$ it really is a phenomenal choice for anyone looking for a car dock.

playing audio

I still can't figure a way to play my audio from my Infuse 4G to my car speakers. I just have the standard radio in my 2006 GMC Canyon. But it's so annoying. I've searched all over the internet and can't find the answer. Do I have to get a new radio installed and then get the infuse car dock? Or is there another simpler cheaper option????

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ta79pr:
I have a 4gig thumbdrive I tote around with a persistent version of ubuntu and some other utilities, like ultimate boot cd. Since I always have my phone, I figured why not just use it instead of carrying the thumbdrive.

I have been trying to install the boot installer on my phone's sd card so I could just boot a PC with the phone. The trouble is that if I install the thumbdrive boot files on the external micro sd card there seems to be no way to boot a pc from that drive. If you goto disk drive mode and boot the PC, it only wants to boot to the first USB device, i.e. the internal SD card. I tried the multimount usb app, but that did not help in mounting just the external SD card.

I have installed the boot files on the internal SD card and successfully booted the PC with it, but once the phone is restarted it decides there is something wrong with the internal SD card and it reformats it.

Has anyone tried to use their phone as their PC boot thumbdrive?

I have tried the YUMI and the old fashion single boot on pendrivelinux.com. It matters not whether I select persistent mode.
