I hate the fact that that it doesnt come with a charger. And the Atrix seems to be very sensitive to the amperage being supplied to it.
Hmm.. vehicle dock that doesn't charge ?
Is it hands free calling and gps ?
I'm loving mine. Yes, I was disappointed that it doesn't come with a regular car charger. Amazon has an authentic Motorola charger for less than 6 dollars in OEM packaging that works great though. If you aren't navigating you can set it to view your location on the map and it also displays your current speed(very accurately) and direction which I love. You can also set up Vlingo to automatically read your incoming text to you and use voice commands to dictate a text.
On another note you can purchase it directly from AT&T with a 30% discount by going to Exclusive online offers for AT&T customers
How are you connecting OEM Car Charger ( $6 ) to the car dock which has USB and audio out ?
My car doesn't have bluetooth or usb adapter ? So if I receive/place a call what will happen ?
My vehicle is too old to have a fancy audio-in port for my "stereo"...so that part of the cord just hangs there in the way - kind of dumb looking but yeah. I was also annoyed that Motorola didn't include a USB-cigarette lighter adapter for everyone.
Mine wouldn't charge the first couple times I tried it. Then suddenly it worked. Still not sure what the problem was, but everything's good with it now. Haven't set Vlingo up (don't know anything about it) so I guess I should set that up shortly so I can have my texts read aloud to me or something. That'd be nice. Red lights only last so long for reading texts.
Mines old also, so i purchased this.

Works good, charges the phone, controls the phone completely from the remote. Only time you have to touch the phone itself is to change the app your using.
So let me get this straight (if I'm right, I'm getting mine today).
You bluetooth your music/phone call/etc from the phone to this unit and it rebroadcasts the data back over FM to your car stereo? And there is a USB port in the side of this thing to charge your phone?
Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner!!!
