EXOGEAR Dash Mount with Galaxy Note 2 for Torque
 

Well we already have an iPad (Verizon) in the vehicle for use with the Passport Excort radar detector and Bespoke.

Being the Android lover I am and the phone junkie who has 3 carriers I, decided that I'll be keeping a Note 2 in the vehicle more often than not.

Slapped this video together tonight...

EDIT: At the time of this post, I completely jumped the gun. 28 minutes left on the upload.

(This is what I posted on my site and XDA)

Goal: Find a mount which would support a larger phone or smaller Android based tablet to enjoy Torque1. This mount needs to firmly grip the device and not allow it to vibrate a tremendous amount. It would also be nice if it didn't look horrible and was easy to mount the phone properly/quickly.

Solution: EXOGEAR ExoMount Tablet S

This mount retails for $49.95, and I believe it was worth every penny. It is hard to sharp shoot its faults when it does such a good job of fulfilling my goal.

Its flexibility guarantees that I will be able to use it in the future with other devices. I shouldn't outgrow this product quickly.

Now enjoy my crummy video and pictures. Tested it with the Note 2, Galaxy S, and HTC One so far...

On the Galaxy S4, it would be easy to charge and access the power button. Not so much for the headphone jack. Bluetooth is the key for audio if using this mount.

The charge port is not in the center of the HTC One. It would have to be offset in order for the charger to be plugged in. You also can't plugin a 3.5mm headphone jack. Again, use bluetooth if possible. You wouldn't want the device to go into sleep as it would be hard to press the power button.

It can also show and reset a DTC / CEL / fault code like a scantool. Helps you fix your car and helps keep repair costs down!

Been using their OG mount for my iPad for years in my G35. Works great and it hasn't failed yet. Thinking of buying this exact model for my iPad Mini in the BRZ tho...

BTW, thanks for posting. Nice video you put together.

Does it leave any mark on the dashboard after being mounted for a while? :\:)

Haven't used the Exogear mount, but I had an iottie on my dash for only 2 days and it left a mark on my dash for a loooong time after I removed it. I've kept it on the glass ever since.
