Car mount options?

[nobleiceman]

I, like most others probably, am wanting to use the n95 for it's GPS in my car while I drive. I'm wondering what people are planning to use for a mount to hold it. Is Nokia making one (or another company) especially for the n95 that anyone knows about? Are you going to use another generic 'hold all' for it?

In my perfect world, I'd like one that plugs into my 12v outlet to charge the n95 while I drive as well as including some type of FM transmitter for my stereo (since I do not have an aux input on it). Just curious if people already had ideas about this.

I am personally very interested in an N95 specific car mount. I have one for my 6682 right now that has a built-in speaker and an audio out that can be hooked up to either a bluetooth transmitter or an fm tuner. The unit also powers my 6682. Unfortunately I have not seen something like this for the N95. If you do, please let me know- I gotta have one! Those generic mounts are probably the way we're going to have to go, unfortunately. I don't like the design of those clunky universal mounts, though most of them do allow you to charge the device while it grips the thing. I'm just not impressed with generic universal options.

You say they do allow a charge while holding the device? Is this from an external cable, or is it mounted from the 12v outlet? How is your's mounted, screws into the dash (please no), windshield suction or something else?

If I do find or hear anything about an n95 specific mount, I'll be sure to let you know though.

Mine plugs into the 12 volt power via extenal plug and mounts to the windshield via suction.

I'll be waiting for an Active Mount from brodit - best car mounts I've ever used, and I've tried many.

See http://www.brodit.com/?lang=E for more info.

I've emailed them asking if/when they'll have a N95 mount available.. they usually get them out for new models pretty quickly.

[pseudofinn]

Nice. Yeah, this is what I'm looking for. Let us know when you spot one for the N95!

[nobleiceman]

Perfect! Let us know what you hear back from them.

Do you guys trust car chargers from ebay, such as this one:

If not, where do you suggest buying car chargers from?

How do you know that it's compatible? It's not compatible with N93. Don't they use the same type of charger?
