She already told me they won't be. Sold separately will be the only way. Waiting will just make you wait longer for no reason.
Well, CRAP! Keeping my fingers crossed I guess. Or the combo cable by itself better be DARN CHEAP.

I read differently, between this thread and the other thread about the old iBolt Galaxy S III dock. The early Jelly Bean update for SOME INTERNATIONAL versions of the Galaxy S III phone removed this feature. The feature was restored in Jelly Bean updates for all U.S. carriers, and then I believe was added back in for later International updates for countries that got it later than the original international update. (I'm not entirely sure it was added back to the international version, but I thought so, but I do know for sure it was included in all U.S. carrier updates.)
There were several reports with the old SIII specific dock from people where it did not put the phone into car mode, and they got a replacement dock and it worked, so it's possible people could get defective units of the new dock in this respect too.
Also, the above is all in regards to the S III. I guess I don't really know about the Note II, but after the stink with trying to remove it from the S III and adding it back in, I'd have a hard time believing that it would get removed from the Note II.

I never stated the note 2 would not have car mode, however in the future Samsung has decided to get rid of car mode. Whether thats for future devices or for future updates on existing devices I have no idea. That being said, ibolt stated earlier in this thread that because Samsung was getting rid of car mode that they would not be implementing it on the dock and instead would use dock mode.
But the way I read your original post:Since Samsung have dropped support for the dedicated car-mode we are switching and using the "SmartDock mode" (as Samsung calls it) instead. Essentially the same but the default screen works differently.
and since I didn't recall the earlier MikaelPe post quoted above, I thought you were saying here that Samsung completely removed a dock feature, which I knew wasn't true. I do see in your above reply to my post, you do state "and instead would use dock mode", but your original reply about Samsung removing car mode did not include that qualifier (and as I said, I didn't remember the original MikaelPe post).As per a previous post the dock will not do car mode as Samsung is discontinuing this feature.
My phone does the dock tone but it just stays on the home screen. I hope this is just me not having a setting checked but that should also be part of the instructions if true.
4. Automatically triggering car-mode. The microUSB arm starts the HTC driving app (see pictures) but on Google Play there's several good apps, including CarHome Ultra, that can be used as a replacement "default" car-home screen. So this is supposed to automatically open an app when plugged in?
I'm having the same problem... I'm on Sprint.I am having an issue getting mine into Smartdock mode when connecting the charging arm. I have checked the box in Settings -> accessories, but it will not start Smartdock. Is there anything I might be missing? I am on Verizon.

So it doesn't seem to be carrier specific. Hopefully someone knows a fix.

I got a phone call from iBolt today to help me with the problem with my dock. It was determined that they shipped the wrong charging arm. The right one should be labeled SAM on the little sticker.
I must say I was impressed at getting a phone call and quick resolution. Thanks Kim at iBolt.

Mine is labeled UNS. This may explain why it doesn't work.
