I have a feeling I'm going to have to get something like this :(

i've been using this one. the gooseneck is just long enough that it sits right over the left side tombstone vent in my NA. I'd reinvorce the cigarette lighter so it won't rotate with bumps but otherwise it's been pretty solid.

I took the suction cups off, and I put those silicon pads (marketed for holding your phone on your dashboard) between the base and the desk.

Similar to this, but I got mine locally. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S0TQ87W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_yJCnxbNF9MAZB

You mean a mount like this but with qi charging?

Gigue CH03 Universal Car Phone Holder w/Dual USB http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PP0XNV8/

The best wireless charging car mount is probably the Air Dock though it doesn't have that mounting option

This might be slightly more headphone oriented but I'm looking at getting a blue-tooth audio RX/TX so I can listen to TV/Music late at night without bothering my housemate through our thin shitty walls.

The only experience I have with blue-tooth audio is with the Sony MW600 that uses Bluetooth 3.0. I've found it has a very noticeable impact on audio quality even through Samsungs Oem headphones and my cars stock system.

Was bluetooth 4.0, 4.1, 4.2 a big jump in audio quality?

4.0 RX/TX for $24 Lacks Pass through charging so not extremely interested but still an option

4.1 RX/TX for $34 This supports pass through charging so I'm leaning towards this.

My Galaxy S7 has bluetooth 4.2 and my desktop has 4.0.

As I understand it 4.2 adds a big jump in transfer speeds but I'd imagine that my mostly 320kbps library with a few flacs, Spotify premium and the stereo output from my TV is is well under the transfer speed of even 4.0.

I'm not listening through super high end gear. Wired will be the cheap yet awesome Beteran KZ ATE w/ Mic and an inexpensive pair of in-ear bluetooth headphones like these or a also cheap but good over ear set. I need to do a little more research into bluetooth headphones but right now I'm focused on which bluetooth TX/RX to buy. Leaning towards in-ears since their more portable.

/r/headphones seems to recommend these $70 over ear bluetooth headphones or these $27 in ear bluetooth headphones. As far as I can tell most of those ~$25 in ear headphones are pretty much all clones of each other with mostly the same internals and user interfaces.

Not looking for the best bluetooth set up I don't have the money for it. But I don't want to notice and regret the drop in audio quality every time I go wireless over a 3.5mm cable as I do with the MW600.

There is an aftermarket bluetooth module taht plugs into the back of the radio that i've heard about. But I've never seen it so do your research first.

The cheapest would be to get a blutooth dongle. i've had an older mpow model for a while, i plugged it into the aux and used 3m double sticky tape to put the skip/next/pause controls on the dash next to the radio. The volume on the steering will still work, but you need to use the bluetooth buttons to change songs. These come on when the detect power though, and auto connect to your phone so it's pretty seamless.

I'm looking for a way to charge mine with a car adapter.

Can I use this?

I'm guessing 15W @ 3A isn't enough...

I'd rather have that dock than my EVO's. The EVO dock is stupidly designed. When you dock the phone, it covers the mic hole therefore rendering the speakerphone mode it just enabled utterly useless. Not bitter or anything. ;)

Hey Dude,
First time posting in this sub, but this is up my wheelhouse.

I've used this little guy for portable stereo builds. It will continue to run while provided with power. Also, since it's also audio, if you get a call on your phone it will go to your phone and cut sound to the speakers.

For my car, I use this guy. Pairs great. The only minor issue is that if you take a call, it's up on the loud speakers.

P.S. Awesome build! You should go for internal power ;)

i have an old Ibolt xProDock i use. just took it apart and removed build in microusb power cord. http://www.amazon.com/iBOLT-xProDock-Connect-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B00KXEXZSW/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1452717188&sr=8-6&keywords=xProDock

I have two of these clamp style phone holders. Hold any size phone, gps, etc. It's a great phone holder.

I use this so top or bottom is fine either way
