Motorola Window Mount for Droid X2, Droid X User Reviews

	Very pleased
User: Mark Kinnaird, Feb 16, 2012
Pros: Prompt and helpful Cons: Original order not correct but resolved quickly
The dashboard mount wasnt the correct one and box wasnt marked and I dont believe this was your fault at all when the box was sealed. You did send a replacement that was clearly marked and the correct one very quickly! If I ever need anything else in the future I will be turning to you for those needs without hesitation knowing that my needs and if there is any problem it will be resolved promptly. Thank you very much and have a wonderful day.

	Its Great!

Pros: Makes using the phone alot easier when driving Cons: Body Glove Case
I bought mine at Best Buy and like others have said the only problems are that you have to have a AUX on your radio to hear it unless you use a blue tooth (like I do) and I also cant use it with the Body Glove Case on, not faulting Body Glove for that or Motorola. The car dock is not made for it. Its just as ease to remove the case when I need to use the car dock.

	Started as a 1 * and now a 5 *
User: MJ J, Jan 15, 2011
Pros: Great for nav and all hands free functions Cons: I had to customize/ modify
My daughter bought the car dock for me for christmas. I was very excited till i went to use it. I fully understand the issues of the user with the two piece case. First I had to remove the insert for case free use of the mount. Still could not get the phone in, had to cut off the raised tabe on the right on the back of dock. I could get it in then, it would change the phone to car dock mode, but would not charge. Found that the phone with case on it would not go down far enough on the dock USB. Found that the front bottom rail that holds the phone in place was also holding the phone up. With a hot nife I cut the rails down flat from the center of dock to the beginning of were the rails turn up at a 90. That way the up right rail can still hold the phone inplace and not put all the strain on the dock USB. After all that the Car Dock is an absolute 5 star unit. It works great!

	Best money ever spent

Pros: hands free to talk while driving Cons: havent found one yet
My husband bought this device for me for Christmas. I was so thrilled with the but thought ok Ill try it. Ive been using it now for 3 days and love it. Anyone that has a Droid X has to get a car mounting device. I love that I can listen to commerical free music and talk to people hands free. Also, when I use my navigation app, its in perfect view for me to see. Also, you can charge your phone when its mounted.

	a little pricey but worth it
User: liz springer, Oct 28, 2010
Pros: - Cons: audio cable only works wih newer vehicles that have an aux port
I love this gadget. I actually got mine from best buy. It does have a charger and audio cable. Came in great for my move from colorado to virginia.

	Dont be scared, great accessory!
User: Matt L, Sep 26, 2010
Pros: This makes using this phone in the car so much more user friendly. Cons: To use with most cases an EASY modification may be necessary.
Okay. I bought this and loved it except that the great hard shell case that I purchased with it didnt fit good. However, after making the quick and easy modification mentioned by others, all is great! Dont be scared to make this modification. I used a sharp razor type knife (like an Exacto) and shaved off the raised plastic nub near the USB connection. It took just a minute. This beats returning this mount like others have moaned about and missing out on a great product. My hard shell case fits just right - snug, secure & square. I recommend you purchase this item & not be too lazy or shy to take a moment to modify if youre going to use a case.

	Very sturdy and works very well
User: Jimmy McFadden, Aug 22, 2010
Pros: Very well built, very good suction cup, clean looking, lets face it, its pretty awesome Cons: Not really cheap, especially since you still have to buy a charger cord
I use this with my Droid X for GPS, as well as Apps for radio scanning and ham radio. It works as it should and is very easy to move. Effectually can convert your Droid X into a 4.3" GPS. Very cool. A little pricey. Worth it, though.

	Doesnt charge
User: naked goat, Dec 27, 2010
Pros: great works awsome. Cons: Doesnt seem to charge!~
I used to just toss my phone in my console... it has a usb port (my car) well I bought this and love and plugged of course the usb into the back of the cradle - however I just noticed after a few days its not charging shouldnt be the plastic nub as I dont use a case. and I tried another cable but if I plug it directly into the phone it works, its not a voltage problem the cradle doesnt do anything cept transfer power.

	Works great if you dont use a case.
User: Dave Carleton, Sep 29, 2010
Pros: Holds phone great and automatically goes into auto mode when incerted. Cons: Phone coverings do not adapt well. Kinda big.
I loved this mount, or rather I wanted to love it. It is much bigger than the mount for most full market GPS units but lets face it, this is a phone. Function wise it did its job wonderfully. The problem was even if you remove the extra plate the usb port sticks up too high and the phone does not fit right with any of the cases I tried (4- body glove, silicone, Verizon 2 piece, and Verizon "snap-on"). You would need to fabricate something to make it work. Maybe there is a case out there to modify that will fit, but I did not see it. If you dont plan on putting a covering on your phone, or someone makes one later that is compatible get this device, it is awesome!

	great concept, poor execution
User: Craig Bourgeaut, Sep 14, 2011
Pros: all car mounts should do what this one does Cons: poor choice of materiels
This car mount is the gold standard for how car mounts should work, phone fits, easy phone in and out, easy suction cup on and off, auto switch to car mode, does everything it should and more when docked. When I have to change phones Ill look at the car mount first, to see if it measures up. The bad: The mount resonates at cetrain speeds in my car. It is so stiff it shouldnt do this, but it does. The materiel the nut to tghten the first joint is made of is not UV resistant, and crumbled after just a few weeks of exposure on the windshield. Very anoying, since I travel for work and switch between rental cars constantly, and need this adjustment. Im waiting to see if any more bits break down as it ages. The interface between the mount and the arm comes apart easier than the phone comes out, so every time I remove the phone I have to remember that its a two-handed operation, or the phone and the phone mount come off the arm instead of the phone coming out of the mount. the last time it happened I dropped the phone and mounting plate as I reached the extent of the power cord, broke the power cord connector, and had to replace the power cord. I would put a screw in it, but I have to take it apart to carry it to the next rental car, and itwould be a real pain.

	Would be great if it works with a case on
User: Jeff S, Oct 1, 2010
I bought this, removed the insert and cut the nub off like another reviewer said thinking it would then work with my case, but it still doesnt work with it. I have the case/holder combo from verizon the one that has the textured pattern on the back of the case for gripping purposes. I can get it to sit flush on the connector but it still doesnt make a connection to allow it to charge. So now i am either stuck using it without a case or just using it without power. It does fit nicely onto my existing garmin bean bag mount. I would like ot know what cases work with the nub cut out, because it would have ot be a really thin case.

	Ok, but software bug
User: Howard berkis, Jul 26, 2010
Pros: Easy to mount. Good suction cup. comes with audio cable. Automatically. puta phone into car dock application. Cons: Due to a software bug in phone the NAV app randomly changes screen to the screen the DX waa on prior to starting the NAV app. I had a difficult time finding a belt click/holster that would fit into the dock.
Would only recommend after s/w bug is fixed.

	Droid x navigation
User: Tim W, Jul 26, 2010
Pros: Works well and comes with audio cord Cons: pricey and no car charger
First of all Im writing this on my droid x with swype :) As for the navigation unit, it definitely came in useful in my 7 hour drive from ohio to washington dc. I got it for $30 from verizon through a discount. However keep in mind it does not come with a charger. I bought mine at walmart for $15 right before my trip. The navigation works nicely. It came with an audio cord to hook up to your cars sound system but I drive a 98 civic so that didnt come in useful. Nonetheless it served its purpose to hold my phone while I navigated with google maps.

	Does not work with hard case
User: Stan Ferguson, Sep 8, 2010
Pros: Easy mount, good idea Cons: Does not work with hard case that is sold at Verizon Store
I read the instructions and they say that this will work with the hard case if you take the filler piece out. It will not fit with the hard case. The rep at Verizon tried every one they sold and it still did not fit. I messed up the USB port on my phone trying to make it fit. Now I have to take my 1-week old Droid X back to the store and get it replaced. It is a great idea if it worked with the hard shell case. I am returning this to the store.

	Car Dock does not charge
User: W Joralemon, Aug 23, 2011
Pros: Automatically recognizes dock, traffic maps etc. Cons: Does not charge.
Ive now had two of these, at a cost of $100 total, both purchased from Verizon stores. Both fail to charge my phone most of the time. Occasionally (very random) it will charge in the dock, but Id say 9 out of 10 times it does not charge "Disconnected, please remove charging cable to save energy" or something like that. Once in a while it will charge but the icon has no lightening bolt to indicate charging, however, I do not lose power while using it, so that is a different issue. Whoever engineered this terrible item, should be selling cars or something, the cable works fine if I plug it into the phone, it is only the dock that does not work.

	useless in California
User: Travis Schmid, May 15, 2011
Pros: - Cons: Adhesive lasts 1 week, wont fit with a case
Ive had 3 of these and all of them have failed to work properly. I bought the first as part of the accessory pack when I got my phone. In California you cannot attach anything to the windsheild (mine is too far away to reach conveniently anyway) so I used the plastic disk that glues to your dash. After a week the adhesive failed (yes I used the alcohol wipe before adhesion) and the whole unit dropped to the floor and a piece broke. Verizon replaced it without question. My wife loved it so much she bought one too a few days later. About 2 weeks after I installed the second one, the adhesive failed and the whole unit fell to the floor. My wife says hers is starting to fail too. Its May and not that hot out so I cant blame it on the heat. Its just useless if you dont have a window close enough to stick it on or you live in California where its illegal.
