Slimmer than ever

Garmin 5 Inch Portable Vehicle Lifetime

Garmin 5 Inch Portable Vehicle Lifetime

I've always been resistant to buying brandname accessories because the after-market is flooded with cheaper alternatives. In this case though, I bought the Motorola Navigation Mount for my Bionic and feel that it was well worth the expense.

Previous to getting my Bionic I had considered buying a new GPS device. With my phone and this mount, I will never need stand-alone GPS again. With the Droid's native Google applications, the maps are updated and more accurate and can be accessed via voice command!

When docking your Bionic in this mount, the phone automatically changes the user-interface and enters Mobile Dock mode with big, easy to find preset buttons for maps, voice search, dialing and any other app you have installed that you want to add to the interface.

My car has 1/16" (headphone) jack input. This mount comes with a compatible cable that plugs in at the cigarette lighter adapter and runs the phone's audio through the car's audio aux input. With apps like iHeartRadio and Pandora I've been able to cancel my satellite radio subscription!

As an added bonus, the mount does not cover up the camera lens and I find it fun (albeit a bit dorky) to use the camcorder app on my phone to record my real-time driving. You could use the front-facing camera to skype too, but I presume that wouldn't be safe so I'm not recommending it ;-)

I've had this mounted on my windshield for a couple months now and I cradle my phone in it just about every day (its a great charger too, even if I'm not using the phone). In all that time, the mount has yet to fall off the window or need to be readjusted.

I've very happy with this purchase and recommend the Motorola Navigation Mount to anyone with a Bionic phone (and a car)

  1. I want something that is reliable and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Can anyone help? I was thinking a Garmin but I'm not fully sure.
