Best car mount for iPAQ hx4700?

Afterburner · Occasional Visitor Joined: Aug 23, 2005 Posts: 12

I am going to upgrade my iPAQ from a 3630 to an hx4700 and my old Brodit clip and cradle will need replacing along with it. Does anyone have any advice as to what is the best cradle for this PDA?

Does it need an amplified mount with this PDA?

The old Brodit active holder is a little clunky, is there a better one out there?

I want to clip it to the dash like the old one rather than an ugly sucker-mount.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

David

And he said a vent mount, this is a window mount - Please don't waste peoples time with cheap selling tactics. If you have something to sell, please use the For Sale forum. I apologise if you are not the seller, but the lack of understanding and the Smile

made me suspicious.

I have an Hx4700, which I use with a Holux 236 and Brodit amplified mount.
I would strongly recommend that you get an amplified mount, as the audio output of the Hx4700 is not the loudest on the market.
Some say that the Brodit, as it has no volume control of its own, is not as flexible as others on the market, but I find that with the volume on the Hx4700 turned down to about 50% there is little or no distortion, and the voice commands are easily heard.
The mount is tailored for the iPAQ, so there are no adjustments to make, just slot it in and it is held securely.

Only downside, price.

Hi
I too am looking for a (neat) vent mount for a 4700.

I do not have a problem with the sound, so it can be a passive model which I use with a Holux Slim BT GPS.

Thanks

Graham

I am planning to get the Tomtom bespoke mount for 4700 from pdamods.com. Is it any good? Any comments from people who've tried it? Thanks.

I am a little surprised that people are recommending a speaker mount for the 4700. I have a 4705 which is effectively the same PPC, i'm deaf in one ear... but still don't have a problem hearing the navigator voice without an amplifier. In fact, it drowns out the radio. Maybe that's your problem... turn down your radio! Laughing

For a motorbike though, that may be a different proposition; I would think that every PDA would need an amplifier on a bike... but that is only my uneducated opinion as i don't have a motorbike. But then, you wouldn't be asking for a vent mount. 8O

Mount ...
Two bleck squares of velcro on back, matched to corresponding hooked velcro squares on dash curve, above vents.
One thin strip, to hold protective cover open & allow angle adjustment

Amplifier ...
Cassette adapter, via Earphone socket - I play MP3's mainly in the car, as most of the local radio stations do not stay with me on my long journeys & cannot be bothered retuning to mainstream BBC radio rubbish.
Sound is usually louder than the MP3's ,so just use for POI notification.

Sorted :D
