I'm using the 'classic' Mountek nGroove Grip, and it's perfect. You have to remove the bottom legs to get access to the headphones jack and the microUSB port, but the grip is strong enough to hold the phone even without it.

What I like about it is that it keeps the phone close to me and facing directly at me (as opposed to farther under the windshield where you have to lean down to use it or stretch) - and also it doesn't obstruct your view - it's perfect, really.

If you don't wanna give up your CD slot it also fits into just creases in your dashboard.

Highly recommended!
[One (M8) Accessories] hx3:
I'm definitely interested in seeing pictures of the Mountek mount and hear about opinions, if the M8 can be mounted in landscape mode and if it keeps the phone stable while driving. Appreciate it!

I have actually this holder http://www.maisondugsm.com/a/produit/produit/1852246/support_auto_avec_ventouse_pama_windscreen_couleur_noir_pour_htc_one_m8.html but one of the side doesn't have rubber or soft plastic so it will scratch my M8 with time so it need both hand to put the phone and pull it without scratching it.

About the Exomount suction, I am planning to stick it to my actual disk pad which has double sided 3M sticky paste to stuck on my dashboard,it's the red thingy on the picture.

Though I wonder if its worth 45$ with delivery charges...

Edit: I have found a tailored made holder for the M8 though I wonder if it won't scratch the phone borders as it doesn't look rubberized where it ''clips'' and it will definitely need the disk pad too for the dashboard mount.

I use both the Tetrax Ego and Fix in my car - Ego for summer when I want the phone mounted over an air vent to keep the battery cool (LONG drive from the South to Upstate NY using GPS and/or playing music) and the Fix for winter/daily driving.

No, you won't be able to use the camera while it's mounted (due to the dash being in the way) but it holds my devices rock solid. I've never had it fall off, even with a charging cable plugged into it. I started using it with my Incredible, and used it with the Thunderbolt, the ReZound, the M7, and now my M8. The M7 and M8 I use/d caseless (though I have a skin on the M8, don't want to scratch this beauty) and it holds perfectly. It does require adhering a small button on the back of the device, but this also has helped keep the camera from getting scratched when I lay it on it's back on a table.

The M8 with a case on it might need the XWay or the FixWay (made for larger devices, they have stabilizing rubber "feet" in an X pattern radiating out from the magnetic piece.)

Really can't recommend these enough.They hold perfectly, and are VERY unobtrusive when not in use.
[One (M8) Accessories] Ambious:
Sorry, don't have pictures of the holder with the device in it.

I'll just note that the holder is adjustable, you can place it either this way or upside down (it swivels 360 degrees), and the grip is adjustable and strong (I actually got my Nexus 7 to fit in it!)

It can easily be turned aside to landscape, and is VERY stable (you can adjust its rigidness).
[One (M8) Accessories] bushpilotwannabe:
I used a Mountek in my old car. The felt lining along the CD slot crumpled up and never looked the same again. Depending on how much that bothers you, you might want to avoid them. I'm thinking of getting a ProClip this time around. It uses a suction cup, which goes on a separate dashboard mount that clips into place somewhere on your dash; where exactly depends on your car and what they've made for it. I read a Honda Accord forum; for that car at least, it's supposedly as stable as can be.

Ok so I must decide between Osomount Quick Grip which looks more solid than the U Grip and the iOttie HERE

My main goal is to have a one handed friendly holder, not bulky and of course not falling
[One (M8) Accessories] Traceamount:
I'm going to order the Arkon, after seeing the review here and the reviews online are all really good. It'll also fit my phone with case, and not block the camera. After some run ins with drunk off duty cops, telling me to get out my car and fight (lol), I like the idea of being able to record out the windshield, or front facing camera without obstruction. Will update with a review after I get it and use it for a few days or so. Thanks for all the reviews / suggestions here :)

[One (M8) Accessories] DroidRootz:
are there any car docks that have the USB built in?

does HTC make anything official for the M8 ?
[One (M8) Accessories] hx3:
I went ahead and ordered the Mountek nGroove Snap 2 (http://www.mountek.com/shop/categor...i-use-car-mount-smartphones-and-mini-tablets/).

I drive a 2013 FR-S and suction cups have an incredibly hard time sticking to the surface of the dash. I also like that it doesn't obstruct the view of the windshield and it's much more minimal than their Grip mount. I have two TPU cases, one clear on the back and another all black. Figure I'll just apply the extra magnetic blade to the back of the case I'll use in my car.

Once it arrives, I'll share my impressions along with some pictures.
[One (M8) Accessories] vegetaleb:
Yep they have an official one and very pretty but it costs a leg and an arm (above 70$) for a holder you will throw next year when the M9 will be out
[One (M8) Accessories] wpbcubsfan:
I bought this a few years ago for my Sensation and have used it on many phones with and without cases since: http://www.proclipusa.com/phone-hol...ble-holder-with-tilt-swivel-875214-18871.cmsv

I've used it on the Sensation, GS3, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, One (M7) and now the M8. All with and without cases (you just have to adjust it)

Again, it's adjustable and works perfectly with my M8 and my Seidio Surface case. You have to purchase the mount to go with it. It is expensive but you'll never have to buy another car mount again.
[One (M8) Accessories] MindfulSheep:
Just got my Mountek grip yesterday. Here are some pics with and without the M8. Sorry for the poor quality of the ones with the phone in the mount. They were taken with an S3.
[One (M8) Accessories] vegetaleb:
Nice but won't it press on volume button?

I ordered the iottie because it has a one hand system button and it got a very good rate on amazon 4.6/5 over 202 reviews!! http://www.iottie.com/Product/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=1050&ProductType=321
[One (M8) Accessories] MindfulSheep:
Nope. Doesn't hit any buttons, but does obstruct some of them. Not really a big deal for me, but might be for others. Obviously it also depends on the car, and where you decide to place it. It doesn't have to be mounted in the cd slot. It can be mounted in other crevices. I'll probably test it out in some other spots and see what I prefer.
[One (M8) Accessories] eep02b:
I actually use this exact mount in my car, and love it. The stickiness of the pad let's you be creative with placement. I actually have mine placed on a vertical beam near my radio and next to the vent so the AC blows on it and keeps it cool (it gets super hot here in Texas). Here are pics of my placement of the mount in my car. And it doesn't affect any buttons either.
[One (M8) Accessories] hxdrummerxc:
I really like the iOttie one, but I don't think it will fit my otterbox commuter. And it takes so long to get the case on and off, its not really an option to take the case off and dock it, then get to work and un-dock and recase it. :(
[One (M8) Accessories] eikast:
My advice is using one with rubber grips that won't scratch the aluminum and to get one that goes over an AC vent that way you can keep your htc one cool. I forget what brand mine is but I got it from staples.
[One (M8) Accessories] vegetaleb:
I never understood the choice of a so bulky case as Otterbox unless you work in construction or other dangerous jobs
[One (M8) Accessories] doaneramma:
I just wanted to post a pic of my set up with the iBolt as I am a firm believer in them. The build quality is good but could be a little better, as the spring is way too strong making it not a one handed set up like advertised). It seems to be the only one with cardock launch VIA USB (Car Home Ultra has the ability to launch instead of the stock car more, which also controls my bluetooth and WiFi). and it works with any case. i have my Dot view on in the picture just folded behind.

Car dock from evo lte

I decided to modify my dock from my evo lte, It didnt take to long and I think it looks good, Using a micro usb type b male to female extension cable to the origianl carge port (activated car dock mode) which has been move to the back of the dock so it will carge and launch the car mode as it should. Once cables are in I will post the final picks.

these are for now
[One (M8) Accessories] Lopan12:
So what's special about the HTC car dock cable that launches the car app automatically? I don't have bluetooth in my car right now, and I'd like to be able to fabricate a bottom plate with charger and 3.5mm plug. If i can get it to launch the car app without an extra step, that would be excellent....
[One (M8) Accessories] nfinitefx45:
Well it uses a resistance value that when it is plug in it triggers the car dock

Picture attached to show the mini pc board that controls/regulates the voltage and the resistors that are the trigger (R4 on the board I believe is what controls the dock)
[One (M8) Accessories] vegetaleb:
You can put a NFC sticker in your car that will automatically open the Car app once in your car,though it will use more battery from your phone.

You can also use a 3.5mm to BT adapter like the HTC stereoclip that I use myself for years, you can set the Car app to open automatically once the M8's BT detect it,but also at the cost of battery juice as you will have to put the BT ON all the time,when I jump in my car I turn on the Stereoclip then the Car app that will automatically open BT with it
[One (M8) Accessories] nfinitefx45:
updated info

The signal to go into dock mode is triggered by a resistor between pins 4 and 5. the resistor value is 10kOhm for dock mode

This is what I'm using It's great, and comes with a pad that you stick to anywhere in your car, providing a slick surface to mount the holder. I like it, it's sturdy plastic and hasn't failed me yet.
[One (M8) Accessories] spotmark:
I always like to use the stock mounts. You know they're going to work right, and not interfere with buttons. Plus, for a car mount, it looks pretty cool. :silly: I just ordered it on Amazon.

I just bought the Brodit active mount from Amazon model #512624

Its going back though as the power charger interferes with my DAB radio here in the UK. I keep losing the signal, when I unplug it the signal returns. Shame. I might try the USB version instead as I have had this issue before with cigarette chargers interfering with the radio.
[One (M8) Accessories] syaoran68:
yeap thats the exact same one i have. luckily i had it for the m7 and the m8 is nearly the same design so it works perfectly. and i can confirm the USB car mode launch. i use car home ultra as well. its badass!
[One (M8) Accessories] vegetaleb:
This is what I am using too while waiting for the iottie, it's a nice cheap holder but the bad thing is that one of the ''arms'' doesn't have rubber but a hard plastic border that can scratch the M8 with time,the double sided glue wasn't solid enough,I had to use 3M.

If you don't mind paying 70$ every year yes it's the best solution
[One (M8) Accessories] spotmark:
When you buy the phone without a subsidy, $70 seems pretty cheap.
[One (M8) Accessories] vegetaleb:
And 50$ for the Dot View cover... When you begin to sum up the original accessories too you will end up paying more than an additional 100$ for a phone already expensive
[One (M8) Accessories] spotmark:
It's only money. It's no good unless you spend it. :p

Actually the mount, and a Case-Mate Barely There case are the only things I needed to buy for it, so it came in just under $100. That's not too bad, imo.

Which model is this?
[One (M8) Accessories] vegetaleb:
I received the iottie holder yesterday, I will try it in my car this afternoon after work.

The mechanism looks pretty decent, I should use it one handed but I hope the base will be very sticky on my dashboard textured plastic because you need to press with the phone downward to open the arms and take it away without scratching the M8's border.
[One (M8) Accessories] doaneramma:
http://www.iboltshop.com/iBOLT-xProDock-Kit-for-HTC/dp/B00AOCUP6S

When I got it, I had a Samsung as well and got them to include the adapter for it as well. I can't remember how much it was, but I got the version with the audio out in case I buy a Galaxy again one day.
[One (M8) Accessories] vegetaleb:
Ok so I went to my car with the iottie to try it!

I took off the old holder which was sticked with a 3M plastic disk,the suction pad was far from enough on my Citroen DS3 textured dashboard.

Cleaned the surface where the iottie will take place.

Tried 2-3 times...oupss it doesn't stick!

Then I noticed 2mm of the sticky suction base was not on the dashboard because I wanted it as on the border as possible.

I replaced it 1cm on the dashboard now the whole surface was touching the surface, while pressing on the base I switched down the lever and it was a little hard to do it,meaning the suction was working this time,and WOW I was amazed!

The holder was super glues on the dashboard,it was like cemented!!!

Tried the one handed operation and it was fairly easy, taking it out is just pressing the lower arm with the M8 till the mechanism is fixed :good:

I hope it will stay glued even with high temperatures as it can reach 38c in summer here.

The design is pleasant both from inside the car and outside,the black plastic looks like it was made for my car.

Here some photos taken with the M8 in low light:

Any one tried the official car dock of HTC?

It is called D190.
[One (M8) Accessories] lacrossev:
Here are the mounts that i use. The first is a slipgrip mount for no skin, PRO version to work with the proclip ball joint that i have behind it. The second is a tetrax magnetic mount paired to a seidio dilex case with the metal button applied to the back. Both are on a proclip base that is specific to my car.

The slipgrip mount's top clip has a little texture from molding that pulled slightly on my slickwrap so i had to sand that section flat a bit to get it smooth. It holds the phone way more stable than the tetrax since its grabbing from the corners while the tetrax is holding via the small button and the phone is long so if you're messing about the edges the phone can wobble a bit. The proclip base has been in my car for the 10 years that i've owned it and its been the basis for mounts for 4 generations of phones, totally recommended if you're like me and like to drive your cars forever. Slipgrip has a bunch of mounts for a variety of cases and i've bought a lot of mounts from them in the past going from case style to case style and its always worked well.

The system works great, holds great and tilts/rotates as you like. The downside is that its highly specific so if you own multiple vehicles, change cars or phones often, then it might be a bit steep of a combo to go with.

I'm also using this dock, and it does a great job.

But you have to be careful when placing the phone in the holder as the spring of the upper arm is very strong, it damaged my volume rocker!

[One (M8) Accessories] rysky007:
Hi guys, new here, just picked up my M8 yesterday.

Was looking at this new doc from Pro clip which uses a magnet system, and they have a pretty bold warning about using it on the M8:

iOauto Pro Magnetic Mount http://www.proclipusa.com/mobile-de...product/ioauto-pro-magnetic-mount-710305.cmsv

NOT for use with phones designed to detect manufacturer flip-case covers. This is strictly because the magnet can put the phone into sleep or docking modes. Known phones with this feature are the Samsung Galaxy S4, Galaxy Mega, LG G3, Moto G and HTC One (M8).

I spoke to a HTC rep and he said that the dot matrix case uses NFC to activate that mode and has nothing to do with magnets, but the guys at ProClip said their M8 screen would turn off the moment through brought it close to the magnet of the base.

Please chime in with any thoughts or experiences any one has had, thank you in advance.

Stay away from iottie One Touch if you have a soft dashboard (the majority of cars), the suction cup holds very well whatever the road is bumpy but after only 3 days if you take out the holder it will give you a 3D circle on your dashboard!

Thanks God it went totally away after 3 weeks using some special dashboard silicon liquid but I won't use this holder again ever.

So unless you have a hard plastic(not vinyl nor textured plastic) or fake wood dashboard stay away of these suction cups.

Now I am using a good Sticky pad that I cut to fit my dashboard design perfectly :good:

It wirelessly charges your phone without plugging the phone into anything. The face of the Air Dock is a micro suction foam that securely holds your phone in place.
