clingo + dk26 ?

did anyone try sticking the dk26 dock to a clingo holder? still waiting for my dock's shipment, so did not try it myself, but this might be the most elegant solution as it will both hold and charge the phone as well as allow it to be easily installed / removed AND as a bonus - when you change the phone you get to keep the clingo thingy to hold the new one...

if someone tests it - pls report back here (i will once i have my dock in a week or so)

I think the active holder that's showing under development is for fixed installation only and is designed for hardwiring. I assume active holder with car charger can't be that far away from release.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spoidar:
Honestly, since HTC has provided a car dock for the One at launch, and the Z's screen is so lackluster, I'm heavily leaning in that direction.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimsey:
I have to agree on the accessories( not about the screen though), It's a pet hate of mine and the reason why I always end up building my own accessories, because company's like Samsung and Sony release great phones promising that accessories will follow immediately and they never do.

examples: active car dock for galaxy s3, wireless charger for s3 and note 2, and car and desk dock for xperia Z - I've already made 2 desk docks for my XZ whilst waiting for my sony one to ship.

I'm going to have a go at making an active car dock for my xz over the bank holiday weekend using a cheap car dock, some pogo pins and some sugru

How hard can it be to have a full line of accessories available at product launch?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rob_h:

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
The Infuse, I777 (almost identical to I9100) and I717/N7000 (Note) car docks were amazing.

It seems like Samsung gave away that advantage with the GS3/Note2 - only generic passive docks for those devices.

That's the thing I miss the most about Samsung - their active docks are AMAZING. But on their newer devices, I'd still be missing those docks even if I stayed with Samsung.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom Fagerland:
Why in all that is holy does Brodit make two different active holders with attached cables instead of just giving us a simple Micro-USB port and a choice of chargers? I have a car charger already with two USB ports, and I have a USB input on my car stereo. Why would I want to use their charger?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naffets:

and which brodit swivel did you buy?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom Fagerland:
Seems much smarter. In fact, if you can do without the swivel, you could simply glue the DK26 to the dash.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snark_be:

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wintermute000:
THe brodit pricing is ****ing ridiculous. It comes to 175AUD from the australian distributor (and our currency is slightly above the USD!!!). What a total rip and to top it off I'm not sure it will fit my case (though my case is super slim). No sale buddy

Anybody find a dock (that is not over 100 bucks!!!) with pogo pins pls pls pls put up the link for the rest of us
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atomic_dude:
Try Clove, the Brodit should fit in $100 delivered from Uk
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heretic:
Waited for Brodit, but just couldn't make myself shell out so much cash. Instead, ordered 2 more DK26 docks, so I have 3 in total - one for home, another for office and third for the car. So a dock + antiskid "magic" sticky pad + dash combination works wonders and I'm totally satisfied. Besides, getting each for like $25 can't be beaten!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom Fagerland:
Well, I think it was a good price, possibly because I live right next door to Mr. and Mrs. Sweden, so we get it fast and cheap.

However, I have one question: With the permanent connector (not the cig-adapter), how the hell do you connect it? In the back of the car stereo? It says to connect it through a 2 amp fuse and with an optional MOLEX connector, but I have NO idea what that actually entails. The only MOLEX connector I know of is in my computer at home, and I assume all power cables are connected through fuses in the car.

Is there a guide somewhere?

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d10brp:
Received the Brodit holder today and just screwed it onto the mount I already had in my car for my old s3. Hold is solid and charges effectively. Using an old cigarette plug charger I was using last week my phone would still lose battery with screen, GPS, Bluetooth on but the Brodit cigarette charger actually charges the battery, phew.

When first connected a setup screen asks what actions you would like when put in the dock. I selected Sony Car and to have my texts read to me. Hopefully this calibration can be separated from the DK26 actions (haven't received the DK26 yet).

All in all this lives up to what I expect from Brodit. It is fantastic and I'd be very surprised if there was a better solution in the market

Wrong thread?

---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 PM ----------

OK, I have decided to get the fixed mount from Brodit, but I have to install the thing myself, and there's absolutely NO information on what kind of plug it has.

I mean, if I have to plug it in somewhere on my Yaris, surely there's a plug of some kind included with the kit so that I can find out if I have the required connector in my car.

Any ideas?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom Fagerland:
Since no one answered I switched my order to the 12v plug one.

Does anyone know if the mount will trigger car dock mode?

Mine is currently on the way from a vendor to another vendor, which has then promised to send it to me. Go small countries!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nameless One:
From looking at both the default list of actions triggered by device and the options for creating new ones, there is nothing to distinguish a car charger (that uses the pins) from the DK26, and there are only device triggers for:

USB charging

Charging via the recessed pins

Using headphones

Using a headset (phones + mic)

To do anything special you'd need to do a combo of dock trigger and NFC tags, although activating/deactivating NFC is one of a number of useful things that Smart Connect cannot currently do.

Adding to my list, it would appear that devices seen via WiFi show up on the list

and presumably so do devices found via Bluetooth and maybe NFC (I haven't seen anything

else NFC capable yet but they should show up) so not being able to turn NFC seems to be

a major omission.
