iBolt Car Cradle is Fantastic

[deputydog95]

Bought it here. Coudn't be more pleased. Works great. When the GPS and screen are on, the phone doesn't really charge much, but it doesn't drain either. So it's a wash. But at least it won't die on you.

Great fit and finish. Highly recommend if you travel and you want a nav unit for your rental car.

iBOLT Vehicle Charging Dock for Samsung Galaxy S3 User Reviews - Android Car Kits & Mounts

 

[Andy847]

I was going to get this, still might, but went with a cheaper one on Amazon that got good reviews. I just received the mount today and still have to try it. I'm use to my Droid X mount which was nice, and this one looks like something similar for the Galaxy S3. I bought a separate car charger in case I get the IBolt one. How do you connect with the USB charger that comes with it? Do you have some adapter to charge in the cars charging port or does it come with an adapter? Just asking because when I looked at the pics of the cord it has the Aux out and then the cord for charging is a USB connection.

Pretty much the same question, I'm using the Infuse 4G car dock with a 1 Amp charger, and I find that the phone is losing a charge when using the GPS.

yes, it only has a USB connector, however you can find adapters easily from places like best buy, staples or even amazon.

as for the GPS Issues, I have not had that problem with either losing or not charging.
