So anyone taking bets on whether these will ship today?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Travyevo:
Mine says shipped but the tracking doesn't work...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] csmits:
Same here, but that's normal. Takes about 24 hours before the tracking works on the usps website. Excited to receive my car dock :D
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Buda76:
Mine still hasn't shipped yet. I hope it does soon. I've been patiently waiting for this car mount.

Edit: 2 minutes after I posted this I got the shipping notification.... Should have posted sooner so it would have shipped even faster. :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Alex Castillo:
I'm also waiting for my 'shipped! ' notification, but it hasn't arrived yet...

Well, just received my 'shipped!' notification from iBolt... =)

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
Me too. Kinda depressed about the cable. I have to pull my glovebox out of the car to mount my panavise adapter, like a proclip vehicle adapter. Not sure I want to do that when the mount comes in AND then again a couple weeks later when the cable arrives. I think I'll wait to do it in one shot. I am, however, very excited to hav3 hardwired audio from my Android. Makes it almost feel like an iDevice :rolleyes: Super pumped I'm going to mod a 128gb sd card into the phone so I can finally carry my entire music collection on my phone. Ive been waiting since 2007 for this lol.

Shipping update on xProDock

All xProDock's that were pre-ordered through Amazon have shipped yesterday or will be today. The version for HTC is available immediately but the Samsung version is not available for a couple of weeks as we are upgrading the 9ft charging aux-out cable.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Tomo1971:
The way I go through phones I doubt if it will be delivered in time, lol

Expected: 8th February 2013 - 25th February 2013

Oh hum :eek:

Interesting. Amazon.de. just sent to me xProDock for Samsung in that condition: "So we will send your order in 2steps, 1st the cradle with the 9ft Y-cable, and 2nd the integrated charging cable, which turn on the smartdock mode and activate the audio out through mUSB port." - that is the original text sent through email by iBolt.co Europe Amazon Marketplace. Anyway, will see what i will get.

For those of you that don't necessarily need USB audio, I've found an even better alternative bluetooth adapter than the ebay one I mentioned earlier.

I purchased a Samsung HS3000 bluethooth adapter and use it with my 3.5mm adapter in my car. Works even better than the ebay adapter and the sound quality is 10X's better. There's an "enhanced audio" button that has 3 modes, which allows for stronger audio output, depending on your needs and your car's system. Just thought I'd throw it out there, for those that didn't need to use the USB audio function that iBolt built into their car dock w/ the 3.5mm adapter.

Is this it?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ntron1:
Got mine today and I must be an idiot because I can not find the steel reinforced usb arm in the box. I also see no place to plug in the usb cable to the dock. Disappointment would be putting it mildly. Anyone else find anywhere to plug in a usb cable to the dock?

I also received the MHL cable which appears fine and a small USB adapter that is a mystery to me.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Alex Castillo:
May it possibly be that the "steel reinforced usb arm" is part of the "9ft charging aux-out cable" subassembly???

Any one found the same item missing in the box?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Travyevo:
I assume anything to do with the USB connection is not in this package.

Got mine, the mini adapter for the MHL is probably the one necessary for Samsung phones. Samsung uses 11pin so this is probably that adapter.

It fits my phone with an Seidio case just fine! Excited. Can't wait for the cable assembly.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ntron1:
I think I am just going to put this in the closet until the cable becomes available. My iMagnet is easier to use and without the USB Arm, I need to plug in a loose USB cable and 3.5 mm plug anyway. Just guessing that they have engineering issues trying to figure out how to make the USB/Audio work with the stock Kernel.

---------- Post added at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 PM ----------

I think you are correct on the USB adapter. Don't think we need it for the Note 2.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] alxb577:
I just got mine today. It seems pretty good but i thought that there would be a a car mode or something like that.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] techrider6262:
you need the usb cable which turn on the smartdock mode and activate the audio out through mUSB port.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Sistum Id:
Anybody else finding the springs are a little too stiff?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ntron1:
Yes, the springs are very stiff. Can't get the MHL cable to work either.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
A little surprised the usb arm didnt come with my mount. I was hoping I could've just used my own cable in the meantime. I don't know why but thought the cable would plug into the dock and the flexible arm cable was a separate piece. Looks like the design changed to me...

Sent from my GIANT internet thingy.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MikaelPe:
Hi, the steel enforced microUSB arm is indeed coming as a part of the 9 ft cable package for the Samsung dock. Until you have received this the car-charger must be plugged directly into the phone. I will make sure we make a clear photo series tomorrow and post for clarification.

The MHL adapter plugs directly into phone unless you have a Samsung Galaxy S 3. If so, the small 11-pin to 5-pin adapter goes in between as this converts the Samsung signal output from their proprietary 11-pin to the 5-pin that the MHL dongle "understands". Hope this makes sense?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MikaelPe:
Ntron, on the MHL dongle you must make sure it is connected to a wall charger in addition to the obvious HDMI cable out. Also, if you have a Samsung phone the small adapter must be plugged in between the dongle and the phone. As we mentioned we will post clear photos tomorrow.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] reed420:
Can't wait for some of you lucky ducks to post some pics and your preliminary thoughts. I say preliminary only because of the fact that some of the functional parts are not available at this time. I'm still jealous because I tried to order mine a lil late and amazon cancelled the order because of the stock was apparently sold out.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Travyevo:
Love the dock. Works great .

The MHL on the other hand does not. Power in, adapter on the end and nothing happens. My smart dock works fine but this does not.

Any other clues to make this work?

Btw the phone does charge when plugged into the adapter. It just doesnt send video to the screen.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] evodroid13:
My MHL doesn't seem to work either, plugged it every which way can't seem to get the picture to show. Only thing it does is charge the phone. But loving the car dock.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MikaelPe:
Can you send me a picture of how you have it set up? Show me the phone with the MHL Adapter connected... send to info@ibolt.co
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ntron1:
Mikael,

Thank you for the reply. Regarding the MHL, I have tried all the combinations including known good HDMI cables and multiple monitors. It appears that others have similar issues.

The Dock sits well on my windscreen and will be very functional once the USB/Audio cable is released. The captive hooks for the USB and Audio work well.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Travyevo:
I can send a video later tonight if you like. I've done all types of scenarios and none of it comes up. I even have a receiver that has a MHL port and that doesn't work either.

2 diff TV's

3 diff HDMI cables

With an without power

with and without usb adapter.

Anything else?

Stock and unrooted.

My smart dock works great.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] LucJoe:
MikaelPe,

I believe you are mistaken. The Galaxy Note 2 uses the same 11-pin MHL connector as the Galaxy S3. If you sent out 5-pin MHL dongles to Note 2 owners they will all need an adapter.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] JonBryant:
MHL adapter doesn't work for me either. Tried 2 HDMI cables, 2 TVs, with/without power, with/without 11 to 5pin adapter, and 2 different chargers. No luck. Just charging. I'll see if my buddy with his OG note can swing by tonight and see if it works on his.

On the other hand, the car dock is awesome! Holds it very nice. Vibrates a bit, but my car rides stiff anyways.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ntron1:
I have tried all the same combinations as Travyevo with the same result.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Buda76:
I got the car mount in today! Used it on the way in to work and also got a little vibration but I"m lower and on a stiffer suspension so I anticipated it. I was actually more surprised by how little it vibrated. Still working on where I want it mounted. I have it to the left of the steering wheel close to the A pillar. Works well there but I can't go into landscape which is not a big deal unless I want to record while I'm driving. The camera gives a nice shot of the suction cup in portrait mode. Will keep it in that spot for a bit longer before considering getting the proclip vent mount.

I chose the charger for the gift as I already have the Samsung MHL adapter. Unfortunately the charger is to big for my car (2006 Acura TL). It won't fit in the adapter in the center console. It is a very tight fit though. I already have a dual port 3.1 Amp USB adapter there anyways. I'll probably give the free charger to my girlfriend. For those that were wondering the free charger is 2 amp with a coiled cord and a USB port available (shares the 2 amp).
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MikaelPe:
Ntron, I just tried it with my Samsung Galaxy S 3 and an HTC and it worked fine. See attached picture for set up. Notice that the 11-pin to 5-pin adapter is connected to the phone. This adapter is only needed if you are using a Samsung S 3 or Note 2. My HDMI cable is going to "HDMI 2" on my TV and naturally the input must be set to the same. Hope this helps? I also added a 60 second "on the fly" YouTube showing the same...

You are right of course. All new Samsung handsets released since May of 2012 needs the included 11-pin to 5-pin adapter. See image and quick video on page.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] igknight:
Are you saying that the 11-pin to 5-pin adapter was supposed to come with the MHL? I just got a like a 4' long MHL cable, no adapter.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] serpa4:
The HML and 11-5 adapter are not needed for the dock right? All I want is a dock that activates dock mode and turns my phone to landscape automatically without any button pushing what so ever.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ntron1:
The only difference is my MHL that came does not look like yours. It has a 1.5m or so cable.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Travyevo:
I'm going to state the obvious and say that you show a Galaxy S3 and not a Note 2.

I fully understand that they *SHOULD* be the same.

Obviously something is up. My suggestion is to try it with a US based Galaxy Note 2. Unfortunately all you have shown is that it works with a Galaxy S3 (which I do not have)

Not to mention several others have had the same issue as me.

Also, my cable is longer than the one you are showing. Perhaps there is a bad run?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Kryme:
I too am not having any success with 2x MHL adapters that I received (preordered 2 docks). Here is a list of things I tried to trouble shoot the issue to no avail:

- tried with two separate hdmi cables

- tried with two separate TV's

- tried with two separate chargers (one being the stock charger)

- tried with both my ATT note 2 and my ATT GS3

Keep in mind I mixed and matched between the two MHL adapters and the mini dongle it came with. I hope this helps narrow down the issue. Lastly I should mention I am on Saurom Rom.

Went to my car and found the box, yup, it was in there.

Still didnt work however. I'm not using the charger I got from my phone, but it is 5V-1A, perhaps that is the issue? I'm also running CleanRom 3.5, that could potentially be the isssue too.

Also, the adapter seems to pop out of the socket way to easily. My setup doesn't work yet, but if it did, I would imagine the sort constantly popping out when in use.

Isn't this the car dock thread? Why is everyone freaking out about a free mhl adapter they can't get to work...? New thread? Contact ibolt? Its free who cares?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] nikksto:
Well said, Thank you.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] igknight:
While yes it is free, and I greatly appreciate the fact that they did this and I got a cool item I would never have bought myself, the fact that this thread is asking what we want to see on this dock, and the fact that the dock has already been made and shipped, why wouldn't we use this thread to be trying to figure out why the MHL isn't working? We know its being monitored by iBolt. And as to why don't we contact them directly, I personally find it helpful knowing that many others are have this same issue, and the more people we have troubleshooting it the better.

On that note, I just got to work where my charger that came with the note is, and noticed that its a 5V-2A charger. Is anyone else not using that charger? Could this potential be the issue? Not enough amperage to run the MHL and charge the phone?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ntron1:
Because if they cannot get the MHL to work, some of us are concerned that the USB/Audio cable may also be an issue.

Nope, Tried it with the OEM 2.1A and others.

My dock was just delivered so I ran home to get it. So far this is the best dock I have ever owned. Now the wait for the cables. Before anyone say how easy it would be... maybe having a NFC tag built in would be nice. I have NFC tag stickers but in my hot van the tags will not stay attached for long. With a NFC tag on the dock, phones could be put into car mode without needing to connect the usb cable every time.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kirkla79:
I know this will probably make me sound like an idiot, but with adapter plate, does the red side of the adhesive pad face towards the mount or away from it? Or does it matter?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] nunyabiziz:
Red side mounts to whatever surface you would like to use the dock on
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] espii:
Stupid question. What is it for?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kirkla79:
The adapter allows you to use the proclip mount or similar w/ the dock
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] chicagobeatfreak:
Is it bad for the battery on my note 2 to allow the dock to constantly be charging the phone while I have it plugged in for music purposes?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] espii:
Thanks for the reply. I actually bought the adapter plate. I don't know what the purpose of the included adhesive pad is for.

Protection/spacer/shock absorber ? I feel dumb not being able to figure it out.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kirkla79:
Probably a mix of all 3. I included it in the install and everything works great. Holds my note in tpu case with the flip turned back.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] finalhit:
He just answered your question. The suction mount only works on glass/similar surface. That pass is if you don't want to mount to your window. You basically stick it to any other surface (your dash for example) and stick your mount there.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] LunarSoul:
So it's funny I specifically told iBolt I wanted the MHL adapter and when I got the mount today they ended up sending me the car charger (which by the way is decent 2A, but the charging wire seems to be permanently attached and there is a single USB port on it). A poor mix up, but I guess they were in a rush to get these out the door and mix ups happen. Would've loved the MHL adapter though (if it works). If the USB arm and the cable don't work out though it's a pretty expensive piece of plastic.

Build quality of the dock is top notch though. The tension mount strength is really good, not sure if it will become looser with extended use. Hopefully it doesn't. Lots of space for an NFC tag (I'm using a tectile from that Samsung free deal). Will test the suction cup tomorrow.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] rfs830:
wow i forgot that this was up for preorder and went to order it today but saw that the usb cables will not arrive till march... wow.. that long... I still need a good mount for my phone so I stll need this.

I though this was going to be on amazon prime soon? its still cost 5 for shipping.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] espii:
Sounds like your talking about the disc that comes with xProDock for dashboard mounting. I'm talking about a flexible adhesive pad that comes with the AMPS adapter plate. Not a big deal but the plate seems to work just fine without using the pad in installation. I'm just wondering if I'm missing something by not using it.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] nunyabiziz:
I don't understand your statement, if you canceled then why wait? If you are waiting then why cancel?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] amadeus303:
I'm with you... I pre-ordered the iBolt (and am still contemplating cancelling the order due to the delay), but I really do hate the "hanging" micro USB connector. I had previously owned Motorolas before picking up the N2, and all of their car docks had cleanly integrated charging. I would pay $100 for something like that for the N2 to have an OEM look.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] serpa4:

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] amadeus303:
I've seen the Proclip one, and used their products in the past... I don't like the support for the phone in landscape mode. It probably wouldn't be as much of an issue on a more "conventionally" sized smartphone. On top of that, the branding on the front of the unit is a little too conspicuous for my tastes. It screams aftermarket rather than OEM.

The Kidigi version that's available outside of the US looks like the cleanest I've seen to this point. I really like the fact that it *fully* cradles the phone at the bottom giving it good support. Of course, there's still that issue of the dangly USB cord...

---------- Post added at 02:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:23 AM ----------

It can be used with a case, and uses the universal 17mm ball so that you can interchange with different mounting options. For under $50 beans, I think I may just take a chance on it and cancel my iBolt order.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] rph10319:
I got my xProDock. It's good. Spring is a bit stronger than i expected, but it's ok. I recieved one charger with 3,1 amps with 2 usb conectors. It's ok? does not have too many amps? I'm worried do not affect Note 2. On charger wrote IPhone, IPad, IPod, IPad2. I'm sorry if i am wrong and look silly with that question. I recieved y cable with usb and audio jack. I understand on 2 february they wil send me iCC cable to. Anyway, that strength of that spring make that dock to not be one hand operated as iBolt promised, because if you dont use second hand to hold dock, you will change the position of the dock everytime you mount or unmount the phone. I think if iBolt should be used a passive clamp that would be secured by clicking, like in the picture from the posting above, mounting and unmounting the phone would have been a real one hand operation. Moreover, if iBolt would have been used a sliding USB system for charging the phone instead of a steel reinforced arm, that dock would have been a completely real one hand operating dock. Finally, thank you iBolt. Maybe if i will find another much better dock, i will change xProDock, otherwise, xProDock will be the only one i will use. Kidigi has the drawback that has totally untenable USB connector and cable is soft, otherwise seems close to iBolt. I wonder why Samsung has not made a dedicated car holder for Galaxy Note 2 as made for Note 1?
