I use the Universal Car Windshield Mount Holder For Nexus 4 (eBay) on the left side of my windshield and it hasn't let me down yet. It might not be the easiest thing to constantly pick up your phone and put it down but it works great for gps. Can't beat $4.92 plus free shipping

Let us know how the TetraFIX works

Please post an update on how this works with your N5, mine is in the mail and I really would like to find a reasonable mount - all of these suction cup solutions are just clunky, ugly, and heinous
[Nexus 5 Accessories] laur3n.newm4n:
So, if I'm reading your comment correctly, the N5 should just stick to that mount on it's own, and not need the additional metal mounting plate? Does it sit fine if I were to position the phone in landscape position? If it's in portrait position, will it survive a bumpy road? Have you used it with navigation or music streaming running? Is the charge able to keep up with the drain from those activities?

Yikes, I guess I got lucky - I ordered an LG Smart Fit + WCP-300 for $80 but it looks like all of the reasonably priced ones are gone.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kellybrf:
damn, the smart fit (which isn't an lg product, btw) was only $13 when i ordered it and the wcp-300 was $60 for two at vzw

that said, the smart fit is pretty terrible. i only used it for about a week because it kept falling off my dashboard, and in general the fit was not excellent. i gave the mount to my gf who uses it just as a clip (shes got the one, no qi) and its held just fine so the charging pad seems to be too heavy for the mount. ive used several other windshield mounts with previous devices and never had issues with it sticking to my windshield, other than the smart fit
[Nexus 5 Accessories] compchick813:
Hmm I'm sorry to hear that. Mine hasn't arrived yet but I'm hoping it will be more usable.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jbdan:
Yes it sticks to the mount on its own. Securely enough that I've driven around town quite a bit and it will not fall. However, since the material on the mount is of the soft touch type (just like the back of the n5) is not sticky enough to keep the phone from rotating too easily. In other words the magnetic attachment is strong enough, but because of the 2 similar materials that meet when the phone is attached it can spin too easily especially if you tried to use it in landscape mode. Does that hopefully make sense?

That said, the mount comes with 2 plates and if you use a case with the n5 then use a plate. It doesn't have to be permanent just tape it to the inside of the phone case. Or use the adhesive plate the mount comes with.

If the surface of the mount were a glossy surface or vice versa the phone back glossy then that would work too.

This is not a charger....just a mount

Amazon.com: Aduro U-GRIP PLUS Universal Dashboard Windshield Car Mount for Smart Phones

I have been using this mount for a while now and it is great. It holds the phone firm and has never let go. It is easy to insert and remove the phone. The suction cup sticks really strong to my dash, it is not going any were. It is easy to switch between portrait mode and landscape, you just give it a twist. Best of all it is low profile and does not black your view or take up a lot of space unlike many other mounts.

The case in the 1st photo is a Amazon.com Spigen Google Nexus 5 Case Slim [Slim Armor] [Infinity White] Air Cushioned Protective Case with Dual Layer for Nexus 5 - Infinity White

[Nexus 5 Accessories] WinDroidGuy:
I paid $46 for my setup, I have the LG one. Bought the Qi charger at Verizon for $20 and $26 for the mount.

I have this, but don't use it. My Qi charging one is much better.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] compchick813:
You like your's so far? Still waiting for mine to arrive.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] laur3n.newm4n:
Ah, for some reason I thought it was a Qi wireless charger.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Samcobra:
Can you link to the products you used for your setup and maybe post a picture?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] compchick813:
I bought this (which was $39.50 at the time) along with the LG WCP-300, which will fit inside it to provide Qi charging.

I've had a look about for wireless charging car docks and I've come across a Nokia one... amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00BRPSOE6/ref=redir_mdp_mobile?ref_=dra_a_cs_ss_hn_it_P1400_1000&tag=dradisplay0bb-21

The best car dash mount is the DashCrab. Most of mounts found on ebay and amazon are DashCrab cheap knockoff. I bought one 2 years ago and it works just fine today. The real products are made in Korea.

You can't believe how strong is it, I mounted to a microwave and lift without problem!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DC_Erok:
I do not have this problem with my car dock and I do not know if I have the problem with my desk dop. I use trigger to put my phone into airplane mode and turn off the screen when I set it onto this dock. I will have to check.

The new piece OWL sent is for the car dock. If you remove the 4 screws, they shorten the pieces that the screws go into so that the qi piece is closer to the plastic which will cause the phone to charge faster. Before the mod, my battery would not increase if I was running Maps, Pandora, and bluetooth to my reciever. After the mod, my battery gains more juice when running all the previously mentioned apps.

Questions about the Kinivo:

1) How well does it pick up your voice? Does the other party on the call hear feedback?

2) How is music quality?

3) When you press the button, what happens? On my Bluetooth headset, pushing the button activates the old voice dialer. I'm in complete disbelief that this has not been changed to launch voice actions/voice search yet. On an iPhone, pressing the button activates Siri as it should. The new voice actions work so well and can do almost anything, why doesn't the Bluetooth button activate this?

Something like the Kinivo sounds perfect, being able to do music and calls without having to touch cables or a headset.

For the dock: I'm looking for something that mounts to the top of the dash, since I'd rather not have something obscuring the windshield or my radio/vents/buttons. Is there a good choice of this style that provide Qi charging as well as rotation? The amount of options in this thread is overwhelming. Also, does this style leave an impossible to clean residue behind on your dash? I would like something that can be repositioned or removed easily.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Trjlangdon:
I can't comment on a Qi dock but as far as the Kinivo:

1. I haven't had anyone comment or complain to me that they couldn't hear me well or was getting feedback

2. Music quality is fantastic. I'm not an audiophile, but I didn't notice a difference between music through Bluetooth and the Aux input.

3. If not paired with your device the first button push will pair (it remembers your device so it knows what to look for). When paired and music is playing, the button will pause/unpause. There are also two other buttons to go forward and back a track. If you press and hold the main button it will bring up voice command

My Nexus 5 QI Charging Car Dock
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Wuzz Ranger:
I bought this for my S4. Now that I got the Nexus 5, it works great. The best part is that you don't need to add the metal plates that come with this unit.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] xdp:
Is there something that's pretty much exactly this but with Qi charging? Is looking for one with Qi charging even worth it?

---------- Post added at 03:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 PM ----------

That's great to hear, thanks, looking forward to getting this. When you say "voice command", do you mean the voice dialer (from Gingerbread days), or the new Google Now Voice Actions (where you can tell it to open an app, send a text, etc.). I would expect the latter, but with my Bluetooth headset, it does the former.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kellybrf:
thanks, but this coffee isn't working on any of the several docks I've tried (all sold by ibolt.). any chance you guys are working on a qi dock, preferably magnetic?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] gaga111:
heres mine...

its a "dock" that u put in the cupholder of your car

theres a coil below the black "anti-slip mat" that will charge the phone wirelessly

works pretty well for me, even with the spigen ultra fit case... and the phone won't go anywhere ... that anti-slip mat holds it quite well :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] :
Where did you get this?

My wife decided to tell me what she wanted for Christmas last night, so now I'm shopping like crazy!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] gaga111:
made it myself.. got most of the stuff from ebay

anti slip mat 1€

wireless charger i ripped apart 14€

cast resin 10€

made some kind of mould out of thick paper...

its abit ghetto but it works :)

Mountek nGroove Snap Magnetic Vehicle Mount

Mountek nGroove Snap Magnetic Vehicle Mount is the one!! (http://www.amazon.com/Mountek-nGroo...e=UTF8&qid=1387563988&sr=8-3&keywords=mountek)

I had this mount for my Galaxy Note and had to attach a magnetic badge on the phone, which I hated. But, I got a new Nexus 5 a couple of days ago, and it somehow magically sticked on the mount without a magnetic badge. I love it!!

This isn't a dock related question but a car one. I bought a 2A car charger from Anker. My car only outputs it at 1A. Switched to another car and it outputs the same charger at 2A. Is there any way to change how may car outputs that Anker charger?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Doukeyakusha:
After extensive research, and some youtubing, I had decided to go the el cheapo route lol. For a dock/mount, I went with Scotch All-Weather Fasteners Under $3 at Walmart, for my phone and my wife's phone, some very cheap cases for each phone. Then put one fastener on the back of the cases, and fasteners in the car wherever we wanted. Snap them together, and BAM, I got my mount lol. For bluetooth devices such as speaker or other accessories, I went with a pack of 5 sticky pad grips $1.99 on ebay total. For charging, we just use a dual usb power bank with lots of juice, and put the charger on one of the sticky pad grips :) I'll take pictures another day when I'm not so busy with holiday stuff, if anyone was interested.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] productofusa:
If I'm understanding you correctly you need to do the same as me, my car USB port doesnt put out enough current to power my nexus wireless charger so I had to plug it into a cigarette lighter usb adapter.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] type_2:
No I have a cigarette lighter usb adapter. This one to be exact:

http://www.amazon.com/Release-Anker...=1387712203&sr=8-3&keywords=anker+car+charger

In my car (Mazda 3 hatchback), I have 2 cigarette lighter ports. Both of them have been only outputting at 1A when this charger says it can support up to 2A. I use Galaxy Charger to check the charge and it says it can output at 1.8A, but is only outputting it at 1A. When I took this same charger and put it in another car, it outputs at 2A like it's supposed to. Not sure what I can do to correct the issue.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] productofusa:
Sounds like the cigarette lighter port is a no go, you'll have to hardwire the charger cable off of the fuse block under the dash if you want 2A output.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jkcarp94:
The charger is not the problem. The problem is your cable. You need to buy a high speed, fast charge USB cable with the correct pins shorted. They are about $7 on Amazon.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] andy o:
I've never seen my N5 (or N4) draw more than 900-1000mA. I use Battery Widget monitor. The N10 draws about 1400-1500mA according to the app, via the USB port. Never tried the docking port charger.

BTW, the mA in the charger is the maximum it can output. It's the device that draws however much it needs. These devices draw less current when they're near full, with the BWM app I can see that even at about 80% the charge starts to slow down.

Another thing could be the USB cable as someone else said above, but you don't need a $7 cable, just one well built (basically, thick enough and/or short enough). Looks can be deceiving though, but the ones I bought at Monoprice (both the extra thick ones and the slim ones) are OK. The thick ones seem just a tad bit better, but I didn't run any super accurate tests, and they're very stiff and heavy.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] xdp:
I'd like more input if anyone can provide it on the audio quality provided over Bluetooth, especially from some of the more picky people out there (for example, if you only like Google Play Music when streamed on High quality). It seems many phones and Bluetooth receivers vary on this and some people really don't like the quality provided over Bluetooth. How is the Nexus 5, especially compared to other phones like iPhone 5S, and can it sound just as good as plugged directly into AUX?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] type_2:
You guys were all right. It was the cable. Stupid me. Should've thought of that. I had a Note 2 before and wanted to make sure the charger I got wasn't defective. Anyways, the N5 doesn't draw a lot and that's confirmed by the supplied charger is max 1.3A. That's not a huge deal. The Anker I have has 2 ports with 2A so in case someone else needs a bigger draw (tablet or phones etc.). Thanks for the help guys. Now to wade through this thread to find a Qi Car dock...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] lfbuccat:
Frankly I am no audiophile but i can hardly notice the difference. My nexus 5 connects to stock bluetooth in my car and i have to say the wireless connection and handsfree feature is well worth whatever the quality degradation is.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] undercover:
Of make one yourself...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] aaa111sss:
Nexus 5 can sound as good as iPhone 5S, cause Nexus 5 is Bluetooth enabled device. The sound quality depends on the speaker of your car.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DC_Erok:
I have an audiophile system in my car. I used to use an Aux in for satellite radio, then I started to use my bionic with Bluetooth which sounded better. The newer version of Bluetooth with my nexus sounds superb. The quality is mostly due to my pioneer stage 5 receiver and focal speakers, but my nexus does not restrict the quality.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] D3_:
Can anyone with a qi/wireless charger in the car tell me if it's possible to use an NFC tag in conjunction with the wireless charger?

Right now I have an NFC tag on my car dock so the phone automatically enables auto rotation, starts playing music, and increases the screen timeout. Just wanna know if I can keep it doing this before I drop whatever amount of money on a wireless car charger.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kellybrf:
I don't have that setup, but from what people have said in this thread the NFC and qi can't be used in conjunction, so if you incorporate an NFC tag it's got to be somewhere out of the way of the qi coil
[Nexus 5 Accessories] b1g1an:
Surely you want it away from the charger anyway so you can use it as a toggle.

Easy Nexus Charger Car Mount Solution

With the right charging dock setup the Nexus 5 is Great in the car- and elegant to look at and easy to use.

I read through the forums and have tried a couple of different solutions - here is what I have so far that I am liking.

1. Official Nexus magnetic charger - charges phone - magnets make it easy on and off and has adhesive back

2. Bracketron Universal GPS Nav Pro windshield mount - 19.99 at Staples model SWM400BL

3. Peal plastic off of sticky back to Nexus charger put face down on towel and put flat mounting pad of Bracketron on it and push down gently but firmly - Suction cup Bracketron to windshield so bottom of charger is just above dash magnets and Bracketron will hold it up and dash will help keep phone from sliding down smooth charger face. Plug in good usb cable with strong car charger -Nexus charger wont work (you get a little red light on charging face) if power supply is not strong enough.

- my car charger has 2 USB outlets 1 AMP and 2 AMP - use the 2AMP one.

4. Car dock app - I have tried several and like Car Home Ultra the best. ( it can do lots but take some time in the settings and it will do what you want) - I have it set too launch, dim at night, and have added my favorite apps to its home screen)

5. I use Tasker to put phone in car mode and launch Car Home Ultra when it senses it is snapped to the windshield charger - I use power any and orientation on right side to trigger action - I also have it turn on blue tooth. I also set up exit task so when I pull it off the magnetic charger it exits Car Home Ultra, car mode and turns blue tooth off and returns to normal operations.

It is simple and elegant to look at in the car and to use. snap on - snap off.

I Live in NE US - may need sun shade come summer - my old phone black motorola would overheat in the sun and shut down unless I put an old visor over it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] xdraconis:
How strong does this setup "grip" the phone?

I ask because that's exactly what I'm looking for, but I'm afraid that the magnets alone won't hold strong enough for my driving "preferences".

Let me clarify my "preferences": a 14 second 1/4 mile, 270HP, 0-60 in 5.9 rocket that lives in an area where college kids like to street race.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] pdahiker:
I've been using one of these for a couple of years in my 2010 Civic and have been very happy with it. The only issue is that the foam is starting to come off the grips, but it looks like it could be repaired if I can find some equivalent stick on foam.

By the way, it looks these are on sale on Amazon for $15.99 today:

[Nexus 5 Accessories] AndrasLOHF:
Definitely this. With some sound mods you can be pleasantly surprised by the sound quality. Using Viper4Android makes my stereo in my old suv sound way better than it ever did before. Almost as if there was a legit system in my suv. Even with this being paired to the vehicle via bluetooth fm transmitter(no wires to the head unit).

[Nexus 5 Accessories] irononreverse:
I only know of the owlpad

---------- Post added at 02:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 AM ----------

You can set up tasker to enable all of that when you put it on the wireless charger. It's about £5 for the app, I think. Really worth it.

If you use a wireless charger in the house, you might need to add an extra state like Bluetooth connected or WiFi disconnected so it doesn't activate when you're at home.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ScottJColby:
nexus charger magnets will grip as you rocket around corners

I drive a 2 seat sports car and love it. It hasn't let me down yet. I imagine The magnets will hold it on unless you hit a really big pot hole .. then you Will probably be looking for other parts of the car. The thing you need to watch is let the dash keep it from slipping down the slippery face of the charger as your car rumbles over the bumps in the road. Yes I live in the NE where we seem to breed pot holes every winter.

My "mod"

Qi charger for 18€ and one breffo spiderpodium holder (I already used it with my iphone in the car).

It works perfect. I hate any holders on the rear windwshield and this breffo can be placed everywhere in the car and its fully adjustabel.

Update: picture from the car:

[Nexus 5 Accessories] ATOMICTB:
Are you experiencing more heating than a wired charger when using navigation together with QI charging? Also, does the charging speed surpass the drain during navigation or does it just maintain the current charge. Also a tip, for added security a user on xda used your setup except he bought a cheap ringke case and sliced off some of the edges and stuck on the face of the nexus 5 charger to made a cradle. Thats what I plan on doing.

:good:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] D3_:
Yeah I already have tasker, had the same idea. I'll probably use a headset plugged context alongside wireless charging, my car isn't fancy enough for bluetooth :P
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Tzfardaya:
ianal, but check your local driving laws if you're going to wear headphones/headset while driving... I know in my area, you can get a distracted driving ticket for wearing headphones... covering one ear with a headset they'll allow, they seem to think it's better than holding the phone to your head.

anyways, my truck is supposedly too old for bluetooth too, but there are nice dongles you can pick up to add it in... if your radio has a 3.5mm aux jack, get a bluetooth dongle for that, now you can stream music over bt to your vehicle speakers... want better/more accurate engine readings, grab a bt obd2 dongle, if your vehicle supports obd2 obviously, most/all vehicles made after 1996 do + an app like torque to pull readings like engine speed, vehicle speed, temperatures, etc... from the engine in realtime.

Qi Adapter

Hi

i build a 3D printed adapter to mount the 20€ Qi Charger to a universal kfz holder.

Get it today and can't test it in a car now, but it solid on my desk. :D

Also not to hard shaking is no problem. I can also use stronger magnets, if it's not solid enough.

If somebody is interested, i'll create a thread for it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] xdraconis:

I've been wanting to build a RepRap for exactly this purpose, but I haven't got the extra funds :(
