Nexus One Car Dock - By Google / HTC

• Genuine HTC / Google Nexus One Item
• Built in speaker
• The car dock uses bluetooth to connect to Nexus One

I purchased this just under a month ago and have been extremely happy with it. A few points:

1. I didn't want to mount it to my windshield or permanently to my dash. I bought a weighted GPS Dash pad and have it sitting on my dash. It's comfortably within reach and hasn't budged.

2. I highly recommend a homescreen replacement that allows for landscape orientation. I use HelixLauncher so I can access all the functions easily.

3. The dock has speakers built in. This is great for amplifying calls but you'll probably want to use a 3.5 plug to pipe music into your speaker. Under settings-dock, make sure you select the option to use the dock for calls, but not audio.

4. Get in the habit of adding the address to your calendar events. Once you get into the car you can just tap into your calendar and navigate to the location.

This is a great item, and considering the battery life on the N1 I consider it to be a necessity.

If you use the Nexus One as a GPS device, this car dock is a must have. The speakers on the dock are great. Music and Navigation sounds really good on it.

One of the review says that this obstructs view and is unsafe. I have a few comments about that. First of all, you select where to mount the dock, so if it obstructs your view, then you should really pick another spot to mount it. Also, all GPS devices are unsafe if you are playing with it while driving. You're suppose to set it before driving your car and the GPS will give you direction as you are driving. It's really not a good idea to be playing with the GPS when the car is moving. That is almost as bad as texting while driving.

Also regarding:

Other design flops:

dock has volume control that does not work if the base is not plugged in

Of course you have to plug it in, where else would the energy come from? Also you want to plug it in so you can charge your phone. Otherwise your phone's battery will be drained.

phone's volume control buttons are covered by the dock

The dock has buttons for volume controls.

dangerously heavy

It's a little on the heavy side, but I wouldn't say that it's dangerously heavy.

I haven't used this in a long time, but this was a really great product. It fit my Nexus One well, I used it when traveling and it was easy to route the cables.

OK, this car dock is fantastic, I use every day with my phone. I have built in Bluetooth in my phone so I don't actually use that particular feature, but I have tried it and it it loud enough to hear the callers on the other line. The fit and finish is exceptional, and it even fits my phone with the invisible shield that I have on the phone. As I mentioned in the title, I with that it would tilt a bit more, so that the base would be out of my view when attached to the windshield. Literally 2 degrees more would do it.
