I was wondering the same thing. Then I found the page in the Users Guide which helped (p.49). I put the cradle on the edge of a table, with the hollow side pointing up, then put the ball into the cradle and pushed down hard. Went right in with no problem.

I don't remember getting a charger with this. I'm pretty sure you use the one that came with your device. That being said, I'm glad I bought the cradle and have been very happy with it. You should be able to find a standard USB charger to plug your cable into just about anywhere these days.

The phone itself is too big for the cradle. But you can hook it up to the jack and have it laying close to you. If you do this though, I would consider an extension as the cord provided is pretty short.

There should be a small removable piece in the cradle just under where the earpiece of the headset would be. Remove this piece, turn it over or around and re-insert it. It should now stand up far enough to hold the handset in place when the phone is wall-mounted.

I used a socket, put my screw driver(with rubber handle so it gripped inside the socket) with an extension to be able to reach it....... Think it's a flaw in the design but a little ingenuity and you'll get it :) Duck tape and a broom handle anyone?

you need something to bolt it onto. If you have a hole in your bumper for a hitch ball, then you can bolt it thru that. You will need to go somewhere and purchase a bolt, nut, washer, and lock washer for the installation. I bolted mine onto a receiver hitch bar, in the place where the ball would be mounted. If you don't get it really tight, it can tend to swivel a bit, but I use tie downs to stop any lateral movement...

Can you tell if the nut insert is moving when you try to install the ball mount? If you were able to removed the allen head bolt with ease. I would think the threads are not strip out.

Hello, Yes there is a perfect mount for this. Please see the following item that will connect to this cradle.

No Richard, I dont believe it will fit. I went on a site and tried to build a mounting system with your GPS and no cradle came up for a fit. How new is the GPS?

Seems to me that it should be mounted on a screw with a head that will slide into the slot on the back of the phone cradle.There's a slot at the top of the cradle and at the bottom.

Try removing the bottom piece (it is removable). This will let you slide the phone farther down into the holster. You want the COG (Center of Gravity) to be below the ball and socket joint. This won't stop it from shifting, but will maintain it in the upright position. Alternatively try setting it up so that the plastic piece at the bottom is on top. This didn't work for my cables, so I just popped it off.Unfortunately, if you want the phone to rest sideways it will just roll over. Although if you have the COG perfect in theory it shouldn't move, but you are in a moving vehicle, so the COG won't be stationary. (Oh physics why can't you let me have what I want!!!)Good luck!

Considering that it is only held in by the USB plug itself, it isn't the tightest fit. Make sure that the USB plug is securely snapped in to the cradle itself. I usually don't have a problem with the phone falling out of the cradle. However, I was driving in Chicago a few weeks back and hit a couple pot holes that jarred the phone loose. I also installed a thin piece of foam in the middle of the cradle to stop the phone from rattling. I am overall disappointed in this mount, but I really wanted to stay with the HTC name.

Ehh, I bought one, but had to monkey-rig, re-tap the top ball.If I went to Home Depot I could have probably gotten the correct thread, but I pieced togehter what I had. The problem is that the socket/thread on the top of the pole is a non-standard thread (Coarse v Fine). I somehow got it to work. Not 'textbook' but i like the flagpole in all other ways that I ignore this problem :(

This is just the cradle the GPS sits in, mounts are sold separately. They make a number of different mounts for different needs.

This plug is an angled mini usb type, so if your cradle accepts that type of connector then it will work.

I don't know specifically, but in all the laptops that I have repaired and upgraded, even with a proprietary cradle, the drive just bolts into the cradle, and then the cradle slides into the bay. Look closely at the drive you are pulling out; you should be able to see how the drive is attached to the cradle.
