Guest bryson Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 I would like a holder for my vario ii, which one did you go for? Thanks Richard Hi richbaker, It depends whether you need just a Passive, non charging holder for your Vario II, (code 848690 keyboard closed or 848691 keyboard open) or one of the charging versions with either a cig lighter charger (codes 968690 or 968691) or finally hardwired to cars power holders that charge your device and can also power your BT GPS unit with the additonal purchase Molex adapter lead, (codes 971690 or 971691) Most people are going for the cig lighter versions, you just need to decide whether you want the keyboard exposed all the time (***961) or the Vario II in a closed position (***690) Dont forget the Brodit Holders for both allow you to rotate the device 90 degrees so you can run in either landscape or portrait which is great for sat nav apps. Finally you will need either a vehicle specific proclip to mount your chosen holder onto, or a windscreen suction mount if you prefer that option. Drop me a line if you need any more help deciding, or hop onto the website, link below, Thanks again, Bryson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Yes the Xda Trion will fit into the Brodit holders offered under the HTC TyTn range, click the link below to view etc. http://www.dsldevelopments.com/brodit/hold...odit-Holder.asp Hope that helps, Thanks, Bryson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Bryson, I've been looking for a holder for some time now thats made especially for my T-Mobile Vario II. I didn't realise that I'd be able to rotate it 90 degrees as you mentioned because I was going to opt for a cheap universal one as most of them can be freely moved around. I just wanted your confirmation this is true as I will be wanting to use my device in standing portrait for Sat Nav and then turn in on its side and switch to landscape for video playback/etc. Your saying that I can do this? Could you recommend the right unit, I wanted one with wiring so I can hardwire it to my car fusebox. Also I understand there are particular pro mounting for each model of car? Quick Question For All Is it possible to build a lead which will charge my device whilst taking an audio signal as I'd like to be able to have it on charge and at the same time link my device into my existing car audio system through its auxiliry input (Red and white RCA plugs on back of unit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to confirm you can rotate it a full 90 degrees so you can use it in Portrait or landscape mode, but with the 971690 for closed postion you cannot expose the keyboard at all, its just PDA mode, but it will do as you want for video playbak in landscape etc very easily. You need to attach the 971960 onto a Brodit proclip - each proclip is designed just to fit that car in your chosen location, so for sat nav i would recommend a centre mount as the higher the better for visual intructions from your VarioII and sat nav. Here is the Link to the 971690 page, its at the bottom - and you can search for a Proclip from the 2nd pane on the page also: http://www.dsldevelopments.com/brodit/hold...odit-Holder.asp Here is the link to the Molex to GPS adapter leads to feed your BT gps if needed: http://www.dsldevelopments.com/brodit/brod...lexadapters.asp Hope that helps, drop me a note if you need any more advice ok!

Conversly, can you hold the phone vertically, closed with the 848691/968691? It'd be nice to have the best of both worlds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed you can have the phone held vertically and open keyboard with Brodit codes 848691 & 968691, but with these holders you cannot close the keyboard, Cheers Bryson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gingercat Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I've not got my Vario II fitted into a Brodit in my Mk2 Mondeo and it is just fantastic. The sheer luxury of being able to tilt the phone to avoid glare etc. without then having to pick everything up from under the pedals as with my old holder which didn't seem to want to stay clipped into the vents...

Guest robt Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Hi Another vote for Brodit, got mine this morning, fitted in about 5 minutes. Really nice quality, fits superbly very pleased. I bought the active portrait version and fitted on the dash of my MG ZT. Theyre not cheap but they are worth the money. Can anyone tell me, I assume there is some kind of transformer in the cig lighter plug so I cant just chop it off and hardwire it? Rob ps Bought from DSL Developments and delivered in less than 24 hours! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure you will be ok with it as a cig plug version, many thanks again, Bryson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest richcbaker Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I received mine this morning too, but I was a bit disappointed the active one does not have a power socket for my GPS :D , all previous active holders (not Brodit) have had this. But it is very good quality and it the description on the DSL web site doesn't mention a power socket, will teach me to read before I buy:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jonhitch Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Hi Paul, great photos and thanks for the information. Have you looked at the 'active' ones which are hardwired into the car. I have an Audi A4 and I was wondering how long the connecting cable was on the uni and whether it would get in the way of any of my buttons and coin holder in the car. Experience & or photos would be great Thanks - Jon I've just treated myself to a Brodit mount for the Hermes from http://www.dsldevelopments.com. Super speedy delivery and excellent customer service, pics below of it in car. Point to note is it's a lot tighter fit with the TyTN than the M3100 (there is the tiniest amount of movement with the M3100), i'm going to clarify whether there are plans for 2 different versions for HERM100 and HERM200. Highly recommended tho, as always Brodit are top quality, and dsldevelopments come highly recommended (they take PayPal too, which I like!)

Guest ree Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 HI there, I am very interested in a Brodit for my vario II, however I would like to know if you provide a solution where I can also charge my GPS at the same time via one car charger socket. Either some sort of double usb connection or an output from the cradle itself. I have read some problems with usb double car chargers they dont provide enougth juice to charge both devices. When I had a dell PDA the cradle I had allow to me to charge another item from the cradle. My GPS charges via a mini usb connection like the vario. cheers in advance :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
