I prefer no wires. In my work vehicle I use the Kinivo BT. Link is the older one. The new version supports two phones. Voice quality is OK in the city. Highway road noise makes extended conversation too much. I run Waze and Pandora at the same time over BT while wireless charging.

Seems like there is no car dock for the S5, and no aux audio output via the USB3.0 jack...Frustrating....Why the lack of a dock like the Moto Razr ? Nice for navigation, nice for charging, and nice for automatic audio docking as well, so the wired connections to the head can be made behind the dash. Technology takes a step back ?

This is what I use for my S5. I'm not a fan of dash or windshield mounts, so this Scosche brand vent mount works great for me. Your headphone jack doubles as your aux audio output (or Bluetooth if your vehicle is compatible).

it fits securely to your vent and rotates 360 degrees in order to use it vertically or horizontally.

I wanted a dock connection that simplifies the whole idea of car use....I know I can do it with two cables via the headphone jack.Like I mentioned above, I was hoping for the charging and audio connection to be accomplished via the USB 3.0 jack.....like the Motorola RAZR models have had for 5 years or so....
