Is there a spot on the back of the dock that the power cable plugs into or do I have to connect/disconnect the power cable to the phone each time?

The power cable (from the cigarette lighter) plugs into a port on the back of the dock. There is another cable permanently connected to dock that you plug into your phone when it's docked.

It's going to seem like a small answer. But to sum it up. It comes with a 3.0 charging wire short enough to plug the phone. Then it has a cigarette lighter that plugs into the back of the dock. Everything is provided to you. If you have any other questions, please contact me again. Hope this helps

Both. There is a 3.0-style micro usb cable that connects to the phone and you must insert/remove this manually each time. And it's a very tight fit, so I have to do it before I slide the phone into the mount. There is another cable, 2.0 usb, you must run from the power source to the back of the mount. All of the required parts come with the mount.

the cable from the power source plugs in the back of the dock thru a usb port in the dock, then a separate cable from the dock plugs in the phone to charge. you don't have to do it each time unless u want the phone charging all the time, the only time I charge mine is when it gets below 40%. the cord from the dock that plugs into the phone is kind of short,,,maybe 4 in long which at times can be hard to manage..other then that I have no complaints

Yes there is a place for the power cord to connect to on the rear of the docking station. There is a separate cable that comes from the docking station that connects to the phone.

You place your phone in the charger as you would a phone case and it connects to the hole in the bottom of your phone!Not sure about all of them being defective however mine does cut off and on, It works best when I power down my phone and charge it that way!

Hello, when I initially purchased this the problem I had with the dock is the power supply to the base would not stay in the base. It has been several years and I communicated when I returned what the problem was. Good luck.

Yes, you have to remove the phone from the case to place it in the dock. I prefered the soft rubber case which came off easily, but if you use a hard case that is timely to remove, you may want to reconsider the dock.

You need to take off any covers to use the dock . Otherwise you will not make good connection. Hopethis helps you out.

The off/on switch is on the thin edge of the device left side (not underside). It's near the charging plug in

The power cable connects to the dock , the dock has another cable that connects to the phone ..

You have to take it apart and rotate the connector. If you're not comfortable don't buy it because it does void warranty/return policy. I also ended up hot gluing connector slide in place to make docking phone easier since it still slides side to side and if not exactly centered, can prevent connection for charging.

Hello, when I initially purchased this the problem I had with the dock is the power supply to the base would not stay in the base. It has been several years and I communicated when I returned what the problem was. Good luck.Update. I did not answer your actual question. I don't think it fit with a case, it was made for the phone alone (i.e. without a case).

I have an older Droid Maxx and my wife's is newer. Her power and data port are located in a different place on the phone, so at least with our phones, the dock is not interchangable with our phones. I don't know where that data/power receptacles are located on each model of Droid, so I cannot give a credible answer. I always try to purchase something that is model/type specific, if it doesn't not specifically list my model, I would assume that it is not compatible. I hope that answers/helps you. D.

The dock has an insert that fits tightly to the stock phone (and NOT the wireless charging back, by the way). You can remove this insert to get a bit more space, but likely only enough for a simple silicone wrap and not enough for the hard-plastic cases that usually go along with clips and holsters.

You run a cable from the car to the dock. The dock has a separate cable that goes to the phone so you don't have to worry about the jack on the phone

I don't usually run the system on a battery unless I take it somewhere besides my desk but the power light doesn't go off when the iphone turns off so I would assume that it is still sucking power from the dock.

For docking you need to take case off. Can you a charging cord without removing case.

Hey there... Yes, you can use it while it's connected to the power outlet. It doesn't have a dock station.-

You are correct ... there is no power button. Please note that reconnecting to the dock after powering on the laptop creates a power surge that can damage your laptop.

In the little user guide, it says to attach a "line-in cable" (audio) to the jack on the back to activate docking. I am trying to figure out what size cable I need at the moment, so I CANNOT CONFIRM this yet.
