not sure but I could tell you the mountek cd slot mount is pretty sturdy, unfortunately I am going to return it because the magnets used in it block NFC and wireless charging

I might get this if I can't find a nice owlpad for the Note 3 or something similar

Anyone know of any CD-mounting, wireless charging car docks? What I'm looking for probably doesn't exist:crying:

---------- Post added at 09:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ----------

you know what, after watching the demo video for that dock, I'm returning my mountex and getting that!:laugh: Screw wireless charging, nothing good is out yet!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kitsunisan:
I bought that recently for my mother's Note 2, works great with it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] AbrahamWalker:
I'm using the iBolt Mount for the note 2. Works perfectly. Actually, the note 3 doesn't have the static issue I was having with the note 2.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ejance:
iBolt looks great, but what I am looking for is a dock that attaches by plugging into the DC socket.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] AbrahamWalker:
I got around the dc socket with a USB car charger.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] deny_winarto:
Hi guys i was wondering, a phone seller in my town said that using cheap car charger could damage the battery because the current sent from the car is unstable.. i did experience similar things on my previous devices..

On my 9790 after charging from the car i couldnt charge from wall charger..

Should i be aware of this issue for note 3? This is why im considering wireless charger ..

Thing is, after googling i couldnt find people discussing this problem.. so is it true?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ejance:
It's not so much of a question as to where it needs to plug in. What I am looking for is more form over function. The DC socket in my car is at the very top of the dash, in between the vents. It would look really dope if one of those car docks that mount simply by plugging in would fit the Note 3. This way it would look like a floating touchscreen over the dash, with no mount visible at all. In my original post I put up a link for the form I want, yet the bracket portion is too small to the Note.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] klau1:
I think what he's talking about are electrical surges coming from the car's engine that could possibly damage the electrical systems on your phone . it would be safer to buy an adapter with surge protection
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] AbrahamWalker:
Now I understand your request. I apologize for the confusion on my part. Goodluck with your search.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jojocommi:
just ordered one used on Amazon and saw a few youtube vids that show it does work. I will report back once I have the item in hand to see how well it fits especially with a case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] deny_winarto:
Adapter with surge protection?

Got any example?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] brock1909:
Got the ibolt and while the suction cup and mount are solid, the audio feedback sucks and if using GPS the phone still discharges while driving, kinda sad. Was hoping it would at least keep the charge.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] physicsguymatt:
Just replace the charging cable that came with the ibolt dock with another. I'm using an old GNexus cable with an Anker 2A car charger and the phone charges as fast as it does with the stock charger at home.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] slidesear:
When you say discharges, do you mean that it drains faster than it charges, or that it's not charging at all?

I am using an iGo 2.1 Amp charger and I end up with a higher charge than what the phone starts with when using GPS.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] brock1909:
It discharges at what seems like the normal rate while using GPS. Was hoping it would at least keep the charge constant.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] slidesear:
What amperage is your charger?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] brock1909:
http://www.spigen.com/accesories/sgp-compact-car-charger-kuel-p12q-c-series.html

That's what I use
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] slidesear:
Yeah, that should be fine for fast charge.

I was having an issue with the bendable arm with my setup. What you can do is that instead of using the bendable arm, use the cable out of the charger directly, preferably with your stock USB3 cable. If you see different results it might be that your phone isn't getting the rights pins shorted for fast charge with the other cables.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DKYang:
I've been using the iMagnet mount. Now I'm gonna switch it a bit so I can have it in a better position and comfortably reachable. Proclip + Arkon Amp Mount + iMaget.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] NickinVA:
The imagnet setup is amazing. I can't believe I didn't discover it sooner. The metal plate fits beautifully under the snap on back, right on top of the battery. No muss, no fuss, and given the great battery life, I don't feel the need to charge in the car anymore.

does anyone know how to enable usb mass storage mode so I can hook up my note 3 to the Car Stereo USB

In addition to my post #44 in this thread I noticed today that the brodit active holder for the Note 3 is announced (probably we can order within a few days/weeks): http://www.broditcenter.nl/index.php?mod=product&com=showItem&id=34240&mid=0
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jojocommi:
So I received the Nokia car dock wireless charger today and what a disappointment. The dock is too small and the Note 3 is too tall. The Qi coils are set too low to reach the Qi coils of the Note 3 (this includes the OEM wireless charger back and the receiver from Ebay). Sucks too because the build quality of the Nokia does not disappoint.

I guess I'll order an owlpad now from SK.

It works well not seeing any loses with it. I change phones at least once a year. Custom docks wouldn't work. Also nice I have one in my truck wife's car and my work van so whatever I driving it works. Wife likes it as well with here htc one.

I'm curious if that car usb charging is permanently attached to the cradle dock as it only supplies 500ma of charging power. I'd like to use my own car charger. Anybody have a clue?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] JimSmith94:
If it's like the Note 2 version, the charging cable is permanently attached. It wouldn't charge my phone with the GPS on, plus I didn't need the speakerphone part. I later found the same dock without the speakerphone and its charging cable was detachable. It worked fine with my 2 Amp charger.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] dohturdima:
My Qi car dock finally arrived from China. Haven't had an opportunity to use it with GN3 as the Qi insert I bought seems to be a dud, and am waiting for another to arrive. However, the dock works great with GS3, charge is obviously going to be slower but seems to be on par with 1A usb. I am using TecTile 2, which starts Car Home Ultra. The dock is paired with a Brodit console mount, and the suction cup is much better designed than the OEM Samsung Infuse dock previously used with the S3. The dock holder slides wide enough to accommodate Note 3 + tpu case, and it squarely enough for it not to slide out on rough road, yet is easy to remove and replace. I like it a lot, thus far - will update once Qi receiver is delivered so I can test it with GN3
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DataHawg:
I thought my receiver was a dud too when I first tried it but I just didn't have the phone positioned on the charging pad properly. This is the first wireless charging setup I have used

Owl Car Pad Not Compatible

Hey Guys, not sure if this was already mentioned but according to Owl Pad, their car pad product is not compatible with the Note 3.

One of the reps was in constant contact with me, explaining that they sent a car pad to a UK buyer to test out and this is their reply:

Dear,

Will you wait for a week before I am going to send you Owl CarPad/all?

For a trial test with Note 3, I've sent one sample to UK.

He will inform me whether it is compatible or not with Note 3.

As far as I know, It seems like newly Nexus 5 is working with CarPad/all.

Kinds regards,

Moon

Thumbs up for Moon's honesty and professionalism!

Hello ,

Please read below the test results.

Thanks

Moon

Hi,

I have received the CarPad and tested it with my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 phone.

Unfortunately, it does not function correctly with the phone in the normal position - it does seem to start charging but screen menus keep appearing and disappearing. Placing the phone upside down i.e. with the top of the screen next to the bottom of the charger (by the led light) appears to stop the menus appearing but there is still some screen flickering and various strange effects happen (icons lost, home screen changed) ??

So I'm afraid it doesn't work correctly as is.

Regards, .
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DataHawg:
I got this Anker unit from Amazon. As I posted earlier it charges through the double layer case that I have on my N3. I'm happy about that. It would suck to take the case off to use it. Comes with a USB cable but no wall adapter cube. I plug it into the one that came with the Note 3

http://www.amazon.com/UPGRADED-Qi-E...87077&sr=8-1&keywords=anker+wireless+charging

Edit: Just noticed we are talking quite a bit about wireless charging in the car dock thread which is proof that we are interested in wireless charging in our cars. Some manufacturers claim wireless charging causes interference to car radios but others say it works great. I would like to see charging pads built into car consoles or dashboards but until we see more phones implement it that won't happen.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Zlog:
I've been really happy so far with my InfiniApps Slyde magnet CD slot mount (can't post links yet, search Amazon - it is $25ish shipped)

With the thicker back of the s-view case (due to the NFC antenna) I have to make sure to center it right so that it doesn't rotate on the magnet pad from the weight being off balance. The fake leather of the s-view doesn't have as much traction on the rubber magnet pad. The stock back certainly does though - that was perfect.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Samzebian:
does your phone ever fall off with the infiapps version of that car dock? I had the other brand (mountek) and with the S-View case it always seems to fall off
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] TeleFragger:
wow that is something i have been looking for!!!!

I came from the Epic Touch 4g and had the AT&T windshield mount.. powered.. with aux jack... so was nice. got in my truck.. put phone in and go...

now i lay my note 3 up and rest on the speedo and tach area... it works but i have to plug the cables in... just a hassle...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] JimSmith94:
Sorry to keep repeating, but USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 charge the same. The extra 3.0 pins are only for data.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] shenaniganz08:
Technically wrong

USB 3.0 and all their cables are made to handle 5amps. I have a Titan 5Amp charger that can charge at 2.5 amps and it does seem to charge faster than my 2amp usb charger.

Search Amazon Titan-HW-25EC charger
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Zlog:
It has yet to actually fall off and detach, even with my basically slapping my hand into it during some quick shifting. The rubber pad on the InfiniApps isn't really very grippy to the fake leather of the S-View cover, so if I don't get the phone centered when I have it oriented for landscape than it might slowly rotate a bit if the road is bumpy. This did not happen with the regular case, and if the rubber was more grippy it wouldn't happen at all. I might peel the rubber off and cut a circle of that grippy rubber from wont of those dash mats to put on there - that would do it for sure.

Using this phone with Universal Rotation Control and Nova Launcher makes it the most amazing device to have on your dash!

Could you please post a link?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] @rbiter:
Well duh. A 2.5 amp > 2.0 amp. Otoh, isn't the note3 limited to 1.8a anyways?

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ZiadneNefunguje:
What is 'Universal Rotation Control'? I don't see anything like that in Play store. How are you usijng Nova Launcher in the car? I was under impression that one would use one of the Car Home apps from play store (my previous phone Droid 3 had pre-installed Car Home but I don't see any Car Home on Note 3).
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Need-A-Tablet:
I would like to know as well, as I ordered the InfiniApps version a few days ago.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Zlog:
Sorry guys, I mis-typed. It's ULTIMATE rotation control:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.fameit.rotate&hl=en

It's not as free as it looks. After a few days it will suddenly not work - that's how you know you need to pay a couple bucks for the license lol

I didn't get a car home app, yet, as I have yet to get an NFC tag to queue it up.

ALSO, I returned my S-View case. I got sick of it not staying closed. Just wanted to re-confirm that the mount is infinitely more solid with the stock back. It grips better and the magnetic hold is at least twice as strong.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Samzebian:
Yeah see I returned my sview case too, but mainly because the mountek I was using was always having the device fall right off during driving. I was always using it in portrait mode tho, I prefer that orientation even when driving. I don't use my car launchers, just NFC sticker and apps like NFC task launcher (now renamed to something else) and tasker.

Its too bad tho, I returned my mountek as well (well I processed a return with Amazon, but I gave it to my brother and got the exomount touch cd);

My main reasoning for returning this is because wireless charging. It sucks, can't have wireless charging in the car with a magnetic holster (YET!)

I Like the idea of the Mountek nGroove Snap with the magnetic mount system!

1 concern:

If you have the Note 3 mounted all the time on the magnetic sheet will it influence the compass or other components of the device?

1 idea:

Why not only take the idea and stick one simmilar strong magnet on the dash? means dont use the CD slot system - use only the idea of the magnetic plate

1 enhancement:

Integration with wireless charging would be greate for sure...

Why not stick a small QI Pad somewhere on the dash and maybe two small magnet left and right to it to keept the phone in position

(can not post links but search for LG-WCP-300 on Ebay)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Toastination:
Ok - update:

Just ordered a TBI Wireless Induktions QI charger on Ebay. It have more or less the same size like the Note - just a bit smaller...

When it arrive I will try to build a custom mount system for the Note 3 with it and integrate it into my Volkswagen CC. keep you updated!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] NickinVA:
What you're describing in your "idea" is what I'm running. I've got the iMagnet mount with ball, screwed into a proclip mounting clip. The result is a very clean, almost factory looking install. Proclip does a great job, but the iMagnet takes it up a notch since it makes it easy one - handed operation. I've had very good luck with battery life, so this is the first phone I haven't worried about charging while using for nav. As for your concern, there should be none. There is zero sensor interference, as many users can attest.

I can't tell if you were thinking you would add wireless charging AND the magnet, but that WILL be problematic. I don't know if you understand the physics of inductive charging, but in essence you're creating a magnetic field with the charging coils in the pad , which is experienced by the coils in the phone, inducing current flow. Sticking a big 'ol plate in there will disrupt that magnetic field.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Someone made a beautiful wooden charger with magnets and Qi for charging their N5. Work of beauty and it combines Qi with magnets.

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/create-your-own-magnetic-dock-for-the-google-nexus-5/
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] NickinVA:
Yes! That would work, but because the Nexus 5 had pre - installed magnets which are out of line with the charging cool. The way the iMagnet works you place a plate inside the back, which ends up being over the coil assembly. Clear as mud?

So, uh, are you saying that you can combine Qi, iMagnet, and NFC without them cancelling each other out, so to speak? Or am I misunderstanding your response?

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] rEVOLVE:
Someone else posted their DIY, here's mine that I did with the GS3 awhile ago that I'll be duplicating for my Note 3:

Used a ProClip Move system so I can transfer between our vehicles.

How it looks with the phone:

Materials: holster case, short MicroUSB charging cable, Sugru.

You essentially just need to put saran wrap around the bottom of the phone to keep the sugru from sticking to it. Plug the cable into the charging port, and then slide the phone into the "holster" part of the case with the glass facing you. Now that everything is in place, mold the Sugru around the charger and base of the phone so that it has a stable platform to stop it when you slide the phone in and that it keeps the cable exactly where it needs to be to plug into the phone when you slide it in. When the Sugru cures, slide the phone out and remove the saran wrap - the cable end should stay put. Widen the "wings" of the holster a little bit so it's not as tight to slide the phone in and out.

I made a further mod by trimming the top half of the holster off so that the phone was easier to grab and pull out of the mount and trimmed the sugru to make it look neater. I loved it because it was so easy to slide in and out when i got into the car with one hand and the cable was built in and i didn't have to mess with plugging it in as an extra step. I didn't do it with my Note2 because I used a Flygrip and it wouldn't slide in anymore, but that's my next challenge to figure this out and still be able to have the Flygrip mounted.

iBolt looks great!! :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ratman6161:
This may sound like a strange question, but does anyone know if any of these docks that use the little ball type mount use the same size ball as a Garmin GPS? Let me explain why I ask this.

I'm currently using an old Droid 3 and am thinking of upgrading to either the SGS4 or the Note 3. My old droid 3 came with a car dock as part of the package that looks just like the iBolt model in the post above this one. Thing is I absolutely hate suction cup mounts. They just don't stay stuck in the cold of a MN winter - at least they have never worked for me. But for the Motorola dock with the Droid 3 it just so happens that the ball is the same size as used by a Garmin GPS meaning that all the mounts intended for the Garmins work with my Motorola dock as well. I currently have this: http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-010-11...=1387735513&sr=8-4&keywords=garmin+dash+mount and I would love to just keep using it with my new phone...and if the balls are the same size like they are with the Motorola, it should work.
