HTC desire In car cradle

But the problem with that is the cable that will be hanging around when you charge it through the car lighter

Not really, my charger cable is coiled so takes up no space and is perfectly sized too to not get in the way of anythying.

One of these:

I got a windscreen suction mount that's just generic from my local Tesco Extra for £3.50!

Deep · 25 Nov 2010 at 22:41

I've got the exact same charger.

That is almost the exact same layout of my 307.
I have a phone holder which covers an air vent, and because of the distance between the lighter and phone the cable needs to stretch a bit.

I followed Khaaan's instructions and came up with an awesome mount. Can't fault it for the money

also this takes no where near 30 minutes, try 10

Good quality though, Ive made 4 of these (a few family members have desires)

magicoi · 1 Dec 2010 at 13:59

Yup, followed Khaaan's original threadd and made mine.

Took no time at all - Spot on but i havent mounted the dash plate yet, stuck on window with sucker atm.

Highly recommended :cool:

I spent about 30mins because I had 30mins to spend

It will take some time if some parts are coming from HK/China especially over this season!

My cases arrived in about 2 weeks when I bought them!

Jacob (: · 1 Dec 2010 at 17:13

Just a note I ordered that case and it took 7 weeks to arrive..

Never had something from there take that long!

I use this for my X10: Dash Genie

Works a treat even with "aggressive" driving, but get a powerful in car charger as GPS drinks more than khaaaan did when breast feeding from his moms zeppelins.

(Sorry, I have no idea where that came from!)

I used one of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/IG-PSTARA-Gar...030?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cae68a7be

Its another option for placement... probably depends on the car as to which looks better.

Im going to do this for the Desire HD.

is this holder the same as the HK one?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Mount-Holder-...oftware_ET&hash=item1e5faa057d#ht_1719wt_1135

mrk · 1 Dec 2010 at 18:46
