Car Dock and Charger

[Larry Mahnken]

Do you have the thicker Verizon LTE North American version of the Nexus and it works in that Euro dock?

They upgraded from a Droid 1, I'm guessing they have the LTE version.

It is the NA version since I just got it on 12/23 in the VZW store. Fits nice and tight. You obviously have to take it out of any other case or cover that you carry it in, in order for it to fit.

So this 3 pin car dock works with our Gnex lte?!

No, there is no 3 pin connection. Strictly a holder with a hole where the charge plug can pass through. Right now the only thing I like about this one, other than the fact it holds the GNex, is that the suction mount is about the best I have seen. If my next company vehicle, due in February, has a better windshield arrangement, it may still work out. I have a Grand Caravan now, and will be getting a RAV4. Time will tell.

Then you didn't receive the dock you linked to, you received a different dock.

After closer inspection the model I received is ECS-K1F8BEGSTA. Not sure where I linked to it when I ordered it now.

FYI -- As noted above, Fommy will begin to ship the Samsung navigation dock and charging dock on January 23. These OEM docks utilize the charging pins on the right side of the phone and are custom designed for the Nexus. I asked Fommy customer service if these docks would work with the LTE version of the Nexus and if removal of a case was necessary to get them to fit in the docks. Here's how Fommy replied:


Hello, yes those items are compatible with both the GSM & LTE versions of the Galaxy Nexus. Unfortunately the dock and mount are not designed to accommodate a case on the phone, so you would need to remove that before mounting your device. Thank you for shopping with us.


Since I don't feel like peeling off my Incipio NGP cover every time the phone needs a charge or when I want to use it in the navigation mode, I'm going to pass on these accessories. Hope this information helps some of you out there.

Until I hear that the car dock Fommy is shipping 1) has the three prongs and 2) works with the CDMA Galaxy Nexus, I'm going to remain skeptical -- we've yet to hear *anything* from anyone else.

Though I wouldn't be at all surprised if the GSM dock works with the CDMA phone. Half a millimeter isn't much of a difference.

I too am looking for the car dock. I had the DX car dock and miss it badly. Over $100 for UK version on Amazon. The Google Car Home app is not compatible with ICS
