Wanted: Vehicle Dock for Droid 4

I bought a universal one from verizon and it's great. Fits any phone which was important since I'd already bought 2 for different phones and refused to buy a third that only works with one device.

It had the suction cup and uses a clamp to hold the phone. Only works in portrait orientation though.

I got this for my old atrix and it worked well, sold it though with the atrix and i want another one now..

here is a link that shows all the car docks for droid, and then the reviews. this site compares the pros and the cons. I use the IOttie because it will hold my phone with the otterbox case which bulks up my phone quite a bit so its nice that i don't have to take off the case to attach it to the dock.

Thing is it does not actually come with a charger or cable for charging. This is a separate item which has a cable that will only charge the phone. It does come with a 3.5mm audio cable so that you can plug the phone into a jack on your car radio but you have to plug and unplug that cable from the phone every time you need to take the phone with you. Seems kind of crazy right. Well there is a separate cable available that has a micro sub end and a USB a end with a pigtail off of it with a 3.5mm audio cable jack on it so that you only have to put the phone in the dock and you can leave the USB and Audio cables alone and not have to touch them.

The part number for the special cable is SKN6394A and can only be ordered thru Motorola (866-249-6686) at a cost of $19.99 plus shipping and tax.

I have the car dock hooked up in my car right now with a generic charger pluged into the back of it and awaiting the special cable.

Will report back when i get the cable.

BTW this DROID 4 is AWESOME, Love the keyboard.

 

Missed that you had actually purchased it. But when you get it you will find the OEM Car Dock Application is very limited. I suggest you take a look at "CarHome Ultra" on the android market. I really like that application and it will do a lot more than the OEM built in app. There are also other apps that do similar things for use in the car.

BTW for those of you not using the OEM dock if you use the "Smart Actions" you should be able to set up an automatic way of starting the Car Dock Application.

 

My jeep has a combo CD/cassette stereo. I just bought a $10 cassette adapter and plug that in for audio. Works great! the phone does so well with multi tasking it easily plays Pandora while running Google navigation. Best part is Google navigation automatically pauses Pandora when it needs to tell you to turn or other directions.

For those with the ics leak. You must start navigation while the phone is docked.. if you try and start nav then dock the vehicle home pops up and when you try and switch back to nav all you get is a black screen... but starting navigation while docked solves all the multi tasking problems for whatever reason...
