Yes, the only difference is that the ibxs-33604 comes with a 6 ft USB to USB cable versus the ibxs-33603 xProDock that comes with 9ft microUSB to USB & aux-out, which is ideal for anyone NOT having Bluetooth audio streaming (A2DP) capabilities in their car.

Slip-Grip. Hands down some of the best mounts available. Choose your phone, the brand of case you have, then pick your mounting options. The clip is made custom for your phone and case, very low profile and pro looking. They don't have one for the GN3 yet, but I'd expect they will have one available shortly. Here's an example of one for the S4. http://www.slipgripcarmounts.com/SlipGrip-Vent-Holder-For-Samsung-Galaxy-S-IV-S4-I9500-Using-SPIGEN-SGP-Slim-Armor-Case_p_135104.html

Got my iBolt xProDock today. Don't have the phone yet and didn't install in the car yet, but I have to say it looks really sturdy. It's well made and I think it's exactly what I was looking for. Especially with the amps plate to screw it into my proclip dash mount. The proclip with the xProDock together look like a perfect pair, rock solid.

It wasn't made clear from the website, but I love the fact that the part of the cord that plugs into the phone is rigid wire and will stay in the shape you bend it to. No more grabbing for flopping plugs!

I'll be back once it's all set up. I'll use it with my GNex until Verizon gets their act together and ships me my long-awaited Note 3.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] SgtGoldy:
That mounting plate is what sold me since i have the pro clip as well in my G37. It'll make everything extremely clean and organized :D

In the Netherlands usually Brodit comes with an active (with cigarette charger) or a passive holder (without charger) in a few weeks after the launch of a new phone model. Be sure to also order a 'pro clip' specific for your car if you don't want to screw the holder directly into the car's dashboard.

The holder is specific to the phone's model and the pro clip is specific to your car's model. I used the brodit holders since the galaxy s, then note, then note 2 and now waiting for them to release the note 3 holder.

In my experience these are the best quality holders available.

Check http://www.broditcenter.nl
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] physicsguymatt:
So here's the iBolt attached to the proclip mount. Not the greatest angles, but it's on there tight, no play to it. I think it'll work real well. I used it with my Gnex and the phone was secure and no vibration at all while driving. It even put my GNex into dock mode, which I completely forgot it had!

Nice product for being nonspecific to a particular phone model. It should work when I get the s-view case.

Rchapoteau - I also used the Note 2 in the Original Note car dock. However, the Note 3 has the usb 3.0 connector which does not line up with the charger. I just got my Tmo Note 3 yesterday and tried it immediately and it did not work. The 3.0 connector is centered so the old 2.0 compatible connector portion is offset from the center.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] XxLostSoulxX:
I'm sorry but our phone is usb 3.0 micro and that is standard micro how come it doesn't fill the other input? It looks like usb 2.0 micro usb.

Which pro clip holder are you all using for your note ? The ibolt?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] c-mack:
I received my note 3 and my x dock pro yesterday. First off its an awesome dock very sturdy and vibration free. There are a few cons as well, since the note 3 volume rocker is set higher up the side of the phone it sits right on the leg of the dock causing the volume to go either all the way up or all the way down. If you set the phone so it sits on that leg right above the rocker it becomes less stable.

So to compensate for this unfortunate problem I've flipped the phone 180° so that the volume rocker is on the top. Then I flipped the USB wires around so that they are on the correct side. Everything is good now except I can't put the plastic cover back on (no big deal though).

The second issue I'm having is when I use navigator from the ibolt dock and drive app I don't get the voice along with it. Yet if I use the navigator with it undocked I get the voice. Also I'm not getting any audio to play through my vehicles speakers. I have both plugs plugged in. One in USB port the other in my aux port and my radio set to aux. Don't know what I'm doing wrong there.

I'll try to post some pics tomorrow.

The phone will charge with a USB 2.0 connector.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] dewd2:
I ran into the same issue with the volume buttons. I did not have this problem with my S4 and now I am used to having the plug on the right. I guess I'll have to get used to the left side now. :fingers-crossed:

You audio issue is most likely due to your settings being incorrect. Go to settings, general tab, then accessory. Make sure that 'Audio Output Mode" is toggled on to use external speakers when device is docked. I tested it earlier and got music and navigation through my speakers.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] physicsguymatt:
Well that's a problem. That stinks because I already have it installed and it's in the perfect position and sturdy, just didn't get the phone from Verizon yet. I guess companies have to be more careful to claim just because a product works with prior devices that it's suitable for new ones. MikaelPe even posted pictures from IFA in his first post with the pink model in the dock and neglected to mention this...

Well I ordered the proclip mount for my specific car.. Awesome product.. Now I just need to figure out which cradle to get which works best for note 3. I don't really care if it has charging option. Would actually prefer not to have it built in
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Baratheonist:
Thanks for that feedback. I plan to get the xdock pro for samsung also and that issue came to my attention.

If the note 3 had a slim case on,like the spigen neo hybrid or a bumper case, would the volume rocker still be be an issue since dock grips would be resting on the case instead? What do you think?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] c-mack:
Okay here are some pics.

First one is docked with app running.

Second one shows that I made a mistake when I said you couldn't put the plastic case on the back over the USB cables. You just need to flip the cables and they will reattach perfectly.

Third one shows how the foot hits volume rocker.

Fourth shows how much of the rocker is hit by the foot.

Like I previously said you just need to flip the phone and the USB cable and it fits fine. See first pic.

Also the issue I had with the audio to the car speakers was fixed when I rebooted.

I highly recommend this dock to anyone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] c-mack:
I have the spigen slim case ordered and awaiting arrival. The foot will still hit regardless of the case, just attach the phone how I previously said and all will be fine.

Not really a dock, more a holder, but a word of warning on the Kenu Airframe. It does not open wide enough for a note 3 as I have found out. Was fine on my old phones and is only millimetres out so may mod the rubber grips for more room.

DC Socket Car Mount/Charger For N3

I have a cigarette adapter that is conveniently placed above my radio just below the dash, so a DC socket mount would allow for an optimally clean look. I wanted to provide a link showing something similar to what I would like, but because I am a new user I am preventing from doing so.

I am sure this is asking for too much, but if there is a way to acquire this with the bonus of wireless charging and a magnetic hold instead of using a clamp that would be STELLAR.

Thanks!

I've bought 4 different ProClip mounts for 4 different cars and 3 different cradles for 3 phones. All great products. In the mail is the large adjustable holder (item# 246827). Which will fit a Note 3 with a case (maybe not something enormous like an Otterbox or ZeroLemon case, though).

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] tdoughone:
The brand of mine is the Exogear Exomount 2. I bought it for my nexus 4. The mouth has to spread wider to fit the Note 3 in it. It is a tight grip. There is a thing to turn to adjust how lose it can be for side to side and up and down movement. When using the Note 3 you have to tighten it all the way because it is a bigger phone, if not while you are driving it will start to tilt down. I mostly had my nexus 4 mounted on the windshield, but It does tend to bounce around when you hit bumps on the road. I was afraid of it falling our of the window, even though I never had it fall. This is a cool mount because you can mount it on the dash and the windshield. I like those options. I actually prefer it and like it a lot better mounted on the dash. It is easier to look at and you won't have to worry about the phone or mount falling off of the window and it looks better on the dash. Very useful, I do not regret buying it, quality seems well built. The mount does not seem cheap. Only negative is that it does shake while you hit bumps and driving, but It is on my dash (where I actually prefer it) and I don't have to worry about it falling. I would recommend this item. It is cheaper on Amazon and available with prime. It is more money on the manufacturer's website. Any other questions, just ask. :good: http://www.amazon.com/Exogear-ExoMo...=UTF8&qid=1381258092&sr=8-1&keywords=exo+gear

Im running a little Fiat Abarth, the dash is very rough when it gets hot in the car

Torn between these two docks

I'm not sure if I want to go with the Verizon iBolt, which I get 35% off of or one of the ExoMounts, most like the "Tablet S CD". The price difference is almost $20, so it's negligible... but I don't know if the iBolt's auto car dock feature will outweigh the "cool" factor of the ExoGear. I do use auxiliary in my car, and I will also be charging, so I want to limit the absurd amount of wires everywhere. Opinions? I'm open to anything and everything.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] slidesear:
I am using the iBolt xProDock [Note 2 model(compatible with the Note 3 according to iBolt)] which I got from the Verizon store (since they had it in stock and my other line gives me 25% off.)

I installed it in my car (hiding the car charger and running everything behind the dash) but when I connected the bendable arm and cable (both included in the package) to the device the dock mode keep turning on/off rapidly, it seemed like a short of sorts... The included cable itself worked fine and dock mode worked. I emailed iBolt and they immediately responded saying that the bendable arm was the culprit and they are sending me a replacement right away.

Overall I like the dock and the USB dock audio feature is nice to have since I believe it sounds better than using Bluetooth. My only gripe is how docking/undocking is a two-handed affair and how the clamp is a little too tight. This might be because the Note is the bigger of the phones it supports and how it has to clamp at its limit. The dock does seem to look like it will support a small case on the phone.

Once I get the bendable arm in I will post pics of my install.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MikaelPe:
Slidesear, I'm with iBOLT. If you are using a Note II I would recommend removing one of the two springs so the force is 50% less, it will still hold nicely but it will very easy to insert and remove. This is a great option unless you are driving a 4x4 off road or something:) Her's a video how to do this on the xProDock. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuDzjABXU_w Hope this helps and is useful information to others following this thread?

It should work, it's how I charged my S4 and Nexus 4 in the car. I put a Poetic Borderline bumper on my Note 3 in the Smart Fit 2 mount yesterday, and the fit was fine. As soon as I get my wireless receiver insert I can do a limited charging test. My 12 volt power adapter only puts out 1 Amp, and the WCP-300 charger is looking for 1.8 Amps. Since I usually just play audio books over bluetooth to the car radio I don't need full power. I might try streaming something from Pandora or using a GPS app to see how much net gain or loss of power I get, but I don't know when I'll have time to try that.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MikaelPe:
Image of Note 3 in the xProDock...

Great discussion about in-vehicle car-holders and dock's! Here's a picture showing how the Note 3 works in the iBOLT xProDock. By placing the microUSB charging arm on the LEFT side of the dock the volume button on top and the on/off switch on the lower side are both "in the clear" and very accessible, although the on-off button is arguable never used as the Dock'n Drive App over rides the auto dimmer settings.

The xProDock triggers "DockMode" so you can install a default car-dock App, like the Dock'n Drive App (shown in images), CarHome Ultra, Ulysee Speedometer or TuneIn. The sound from Apps will also be routed through the microUSB port (9ft USB/aux-out cable included) so there's only ONE cable for providing charging and aux-out to the car-stereo. Other cool features with "DockMode" when combined with the Dock'n Drive is that Bluetooth and WiFI can turn on automatically, volume for Apps can be set to a default level, incoming text messages can be set to "ItCanWait" mode and more. Try the App, it's free-:)

The microUSB 2.0 charging port also fits nicely into the handset. As the benefits of the 3.0 microUSB are increased data speed and up to 900mA charging (vs. earlier 500mA) when connected to a computer USB port there appears to be no real benefit of having a 3.0 USB charging cable when connected to a DC 12 volt charger. Correct, or does anyone know of a tangible benefit?

Can the exogear tablet s cd work with the tabs mounted on the side?

I don't think it can, since the specs say the minimal length between the tabs is 118 mm, and the note 3 side to side distance Is about 80mm.

If you mount it with the tabs holding the buttom and the top, won't that block the USB and audio ports on the top and buttom?
