What kind of magnets did you use? Do you have any gps/other issues due to magnets usage? Is the solution safe/reliable for use in a car /bad quality of highways?

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Craiq:
Yes that's the price - for this small piece... additional shipping i paid nearly 40€ for this adapter.

Universal mount cost me 8€ and the charger 19€

So yes its not cheap, but as "universal" says you can mount it on anything with this interface.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Hank-Rearden:
I had this same problem. Wanted a dock for my new Nexus 5. So I built one. Then I built a bunch more. Then I decided to make an indiegogo campaign out of it in case you guys all wanted to buy one.

Evidently I can't post links since I just registered,

So go to indiegogo . com search: "the air dock"

It was built by me specifically for the Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Tzfardaya:
clean the windscreen and suction cup with an alcohol wipe, then put a thin ring of olive oil on the suction cup, then stick to window.... ( suction cups work best with clean surfaces and the olive oil helps to seal the "bead")

[Nexus 5 Accessories] AndrasLOHF:
Thanks for the tip. Does this help with the summer heat? That seems to be the only time I've ever had any issue with a phone dock falling of the glass.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Tzfardaya:
| usually mount the suction cup in the summer, that way it sticks best I find... do a quick temp mount now, then in the summer time, take it off, clean it again, and stick it again, then you shouldn't have any issues (mines stayed stuck for about 3 years now... I think it's starting to melt onto the glass it's stayed so long...)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] wvcadle:
Would be awesome if it works through a Spigen Slim Armor case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Hank-Rearden:
Tell me about this case? Does your phone wirelessly charge through this case on other chargers?

Is the finish on the case glossy or matte?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] gametheorist:
I am supportive of crowdsourcing projects but I doubt the air dock compaign is going to be successful since the pricing is insane.

People have to remember that backers are taking a non-trivial probability that the project will fail and lose their money, so the price needs to reflect that risk otherwise it's not going to work.

I can buy a Mountek + Nexus 5 wireless charger for $80 and that gets me a fully functional charging unit without any hassle. Or I can pay $60 bucks for something that may or may not happen next April. Seriously, get the pricing down to cost and we're talking. One you actually produce a successful thing then you can start charging for a profit.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AndrasLOHF:
It works for me with the Official Nexus 5 charger and the Nokia DT-900. The finish on the white version is matte.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Robpol86:
His profit margins are probably really thin as it is. I doubt he's ordering the charging element in bulk, he's probably spending $40 or $50 on that alone. Add in shipping and the cost of plastic material and manufacturing overhead I don't think he can really get the prices much lower. That other indiegogo campaign (the all metal one that was cancelled) cost even more.

I bet any decent wireless charging dock on kickstarter/indiegogo will cost the same unless it's made by a large conglomerate like Samsung or subsidized by Google or another large company that can afford to order charging elements in bulk.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Hank-Rearden:
That's an interesting point. I can see where you are coming from. Let me ask you this. What would you pay for a charger like mine?

I have been debating selling the first handful at a discounted rate. What price would interest you?

I would like to point out that many crowdfunding platforms encourage you to over price your item so that you can recoup some of your startup and research and development costs. I have tried not to do that, as I want it to be an attractive price. I'm open to suggestions as to what a fair price is.

Obviously I'm not google or Samsung, but I can deliver a good product and I want it to be a reasonable price. What does everyone think is reasonable?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] JamieFL:
Your wait is over. I just checked their website and they list the Nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] thacounty:
I like the product, it looks good. 2 things worry me, indiegogo doesn't require refund if funding isn't met, and 2, those sticky pads are useless in the summer here. They get all slimy and end up turning to crap.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Zurginator:
Damn it, I was developing a micro-suction based wireless charging car dock too!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Craiq:
I started a new thread for Qi Charger with a how to for my version where these questions are answered!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=49029251
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kellybrf:
First off, the full price he lists is $50, which is the cost of the nexus charger by itself. That's assuming you can't get in on one of the 29 initial units at just $40- which are already made and ship out immediately by the way- or the 1500 early bird units which are available at just $45. Between the cost of a qi charger, window mount, USB cable and car charger you're easily at $50 for even the cheapest components, and that doesn't factor in the other materials like magnets and the housing, not to mention r&d, startup and shipping costs. Plus, your hacked together mount will most likely look hacked together, whereas this is a fully finished product. Lastly, his project clearly says you don't lose your money if the project fails to meet funding, you simply get refunded.

tl;dr his price is way more that reasonable, and you're not at risk of losing any money.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] aaa111sss:

[Nexus 5 Accessories] coorsleftfield:
Seems like it wouldn't be a real challenge to grab the microsuction pad off an existing desk stand and put it on the Nexus wireless charger and use whatever mount in this thread that works for you.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Orhtinal:
I thinking to buy YIPIN-C1-Vehicular-Standard-Wireless-Transmitter (please search amazon, XDA wants me to link outside the site). But I want a case/bumper on my phone because i have the habit of dropping me smartphone but im afraid the QI thingy wont charge. Anyone has any experience with this type of mount with a bumper/case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] PolishPrince:
It works fine with my Diztronic case on. No problems.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Bleys43:
I have about every thickness case available, and the only case which interferes with charging at all is my thickest case, the ballistic SG maxx, and even with that, I can get it to charge once the car warms up a bit.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Orhtinal:
So this is a good car holder? Or do you people recommend an other car holder?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] PolishPrince:
It's the only one I've ever had, so I can't compare it to anything else. It's been working great for me for three weeks now.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] hOrnizuka:
Not sure if this link has been posted. =) I say it's a pretty nice set up.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gppZ6IeHZh8
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Orhtinal:
It indeed is a nice setup although im not big of a modder so im looking for a out of the box experience.

I have read on serveral forums that there are problems with charging if you are Navigating and listening music trough BT. Sometimes the Phone gets hot and wont charge of the battery keeps draining slowly.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Bleys43:
I've never experienced that. With my c1 qi car Mount, I get about 6% per hour gain while screen on, Bluetooth streaming and navigation, and the phone does not get hot. Perhaps you are thinking of some of the diy car mounts where they put the magnets in front of the coil. That will certainly transmit quite a bit of heat to the magnets, which will in turn conduct heat to the phone.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] amazins06:
Nexus 5 Case with Metal built in?

I love the idea of a magnetic car mount with wireless charging, but I am somewhat stuck with using a case thanks to my general inability to not drop my phone. Does anyone know of a Nexus 5 case that has metal rings enclosed, much like the phone itself? I would love to get something like that, if it's possible without interfering with the wireless charging. Seems to me to be the perfect case - protect the phone from drops while still getting the advantages of magnetic mounting. (Would also love this for my Nexus wireless charger - it really sucks to have to position it manually since the case prevents the magnets from doing this for you)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kellybrf:
The air dock indiegogo campaign says it works with a case
[Nexus 5 Accessories] amazins06:
I noticed that, but I thought I remembered seeing that it only works with glossy surfaces. Most of the cases I see out there that have good drop protection are matte, like my SlimArmor case. I'll take another look in case that's wrong.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] hOrnizuka:
Perhaps stick or tape a small piece of metal plate (or 4 metal rings) inside the case. I don't have a Nexus 5 wireless charger thus I don't know how well that will work. =) Would be great if someone can test it out.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] PolishPrince:
That's all I do. I put the phone in the dock, the Bluetooth comes on with iHeart Radio and the phone goes into car mode ultra so I can navigate. I do this with the Trigger app.

I haven't noticed the phone not charging or getting hot.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Scotty_Two:
Just set up my mount last night with the Mountek nGroove Snap and official Nexus charger. It came together really nice and I have a USB cable on the way with a 90° elbow on the tip of the end that plugs into the charger so I won't have the cord sticking up from the top.

My morning drive to work today was my first test and it stays in place extremely well. A big issue for me though is the effect of the magnets on the phone's compass; that thing was going all sorts of crazy. Maybe it was because I wasn't actually navigating anywhere and I just had maps open and following my location, but the compass had me facing the complete wrong direction (multiple different directions) the entire time, I even watched as it gradually spun me around over the course of about five minutes. As soon as I would grab the phone off of the charger, it would immediately snap around to the right direction (well, almost right direction, it's usually a few degrees off in either direction which is odd). Put it back on and it would lose its calibration. I'll give it a try with it actually navigating me home after work to see if it'll pick up on which way I'm moving and not the compass.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
So basically unless you got a WCP-300 + Smart Fit 2, there's no elegant solution out there. The only thing nice coming out soon might be the Air Dock, but even then, you can't put a non glossy case on your phone (Goodbye TPU cases!)

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:

[Nexus 5 Accessories] gametheorist:
I see a bunch of people replied regarding my post on the pricing but I am not sure if we are working off the same premises.

1) Someone mentioned that we all get refunded if total funding does not exceed the goal.

Comment: This is not the risk I am talking about. The risk is that after the project is actually funded, the entrepreneur fails to deliver the project and uses up the funding (many examples of this on Kickstarter projects).

If this risk does not exist then obviously pricing can be higher. But I am fairly sure this risk exists, at least for Kickstarter projects (I don't know if Indiegogo works differently somehow).

2)I don't know the optimal pricing but from the entrepreneur's point of view, it should be closed to cost with some buffer to ensure execution probability is high. Retail pricing once the project takes off can be higher (or similar but the entrepreneur can lower costs with volume so profit margins increase)

I'm using the Spigen neo hybrid case and the magnets hold good enough even with tight cornering. I also tested with the Spigen ultra thin also. The magnets hold nicely as well but it shifts a bit more because of the smooth backing.

how are you powering your wireless charging pad?

I just got mine in today from amazon and i tried plugging in the USB cable from my car charger into the wireless pad and all I got was a red light and it wont charge my Nexus 5.

I have a dual car charger that has 2 USB ports. one for apple phones and one for NON apple phones. the NON apple phone port when plugged into my phone shows AC power charging and the APPLE port shows USB charging.

I used the NON apple port that shows AC power in the wireless pad but i guess it doesnt have enough amps.

are all you guys using dc-ac converters or are you using a specific type of car charger?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] proeprnorf:
Using HoneyDru workes like a charm, just make sure you plug it in a 2V output not the cigarate lighter.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] gametheorist:
Stay away from the Anker products, I just returned mine cause it won't power the Nexus 5 charger either. I followed someone else's suggestions and ordered the RAV brand one, we'll see when it arrives.

Have anyone else tried a non-Mountek cradle to be used in conjunction with the nexus 5 charger? The Mountek does not fit into my CD tray and I am seeking other solutions.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] ritzxda:
How? Photo? Does it fit easily?? Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nextelbuddy:
Ok so i solved my charging issue.

First this is the car charger I have

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0088U4YAG/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

it has 2 outlets, one for APPLE and one for NON Apple. It has 4.2 amps total between both ports so if both were in use they each would get 2.1 amps which should be more than enough for the wireless charging pad as it only requires 1.8amps in.

Why was I getting a red light though? because I was using a low rated USB cable. I was using a microUSB cable for my old Samsung GS2 and I guess it just didnt support the power or amps that the charging pad needed.

Once i used the actual micro USB cable that came with the wireless charging pad then all was good and no more red light. go figure.

Now i scratched my head trying to figure out how to get my wireless pad to mount to my Mountek Groove CD car mount that I have been using

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004G1L52Q/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

the surface is foamy and the pad wont stick to it. if you peel the foam layer off, the inset portion is too small for the wireless pad to fit onto and also its a porous surface so it wouldnt stick anyways.

I found an old Samsung Vibrant (Galaxy S) case laying around that was chrome inside and out and I was able to mount it in landscape format and have the Mountek clips grab onto its sides. then the Nexus wireless pad was able to stick to that surface very nicely and grippy. Once i cleaned both surfaces with warm soapy water and let them air dry, the stick substance on the back of the charging pad adhered very nicely.

I have attached pictures below. Its not the most elegant but it works great in landscape and when in portrait orientation it doesnt look to bad either.

I just had it balancing on there for the pic, but I am going to use some type of strong double sided tape. I almost used a glue and then I figured double sided adhesive would be better if I ever wanted to take it apart..

Also, I think I may have found a way where I can use my Cruzerlite case and still have it magnetize properly to the charger. On my next days off of work I'll be finishing this up and report back to this thread.

I am having the same issue on both the car charger and the desktop dock. Google Maps is not usable while charging with this dock as the screen keeps dancing around.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] ghost-5:
I haven't used my owl charger that much until this week so had forgot about the problem.

Start a new thread if you want to keep all our talk in there.

I've just done half hour drive with maps and speed camera app loaded.

With it on charge the phone is discharging between 250 - 750 mA

I have not yet tried to see how much charge it gives it without any gps running
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DC_Erok:
I think I was getting positive 348 - 750 without running anything. Is there a - sign in front of yours or does the widget change colors when it's negative?

"Please check it out the below video link ;

As you can see this video, I couldn't see so call ghost touching problem for this version.

As soon as we are ready for this version from the mass stocks, we will send you this CarPad/q PCB for fixing this ghost touching problem. I think it will take a few weeks to get ready the stock to be restored.

Or we will send you in advance for proving that CarPad/q is not a matter of ghost touching effect."

I bought the same as linked above, but from UK seller, here on eBay. It sucks very strong to wind screen. The jaws hold my N5 in Spigen Slim case very good. They open wide, so no problem even with bigger phone or thick cover.

Only disadventage is you need to use both hands to put the phone in or out, one to open the jaws and other to fit the phone into them.

I gave up on the suction cup mounts for the same problem. If you have an unused CD slot, those mounts are very good.
