Hello, does any one has some experience with the Brando Car Handsfree Kit ?
Is the charger powerfull enough?
Does it mount good in the car?
Here is a link:
http://shop.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.php?prod_id=02680&dept_id=039&cat_id=0763
i have one like this it was broken after few months from the sun and the headphone/radio exit stoped working
I've tried at least 4 units like this one, and they always suck.
The only brando handsfree kit that I could see working well is to have one sitting in the passenger seat.

Have you actaully tried this unit - or just ones LIKE it?
Reason I ask is I am after one for my Diamond and the Diamond Brando Handsfree kit which appears identical but for the cradle itslef has good reviews from people using it.
So while your post puts me off somewhat - it appears you have not actually used this one. Is that correct? In which case I will take what you say with a grain of Salt.
Can anyone else who is actually using this give some feedback please.

Hi,
I'd like to share with you that I am using a Crumpler case for my HTC TyTN II. The case I am using is called The p.p. 55. It fits the phone perfectly and is great for taking in and out of pockets. The only disadvantage is that it zips all the way round so is not particularly wired headphones friendly as you have to leave it unzipped at the bottom but overall I am very happy with it as a phone case.
Cheers,
andrew-in-woking
Got a link ?
I dont want my loose in my pocket, but the standard case that came in the box is way too bulky for when wearing jeans.
the att tilt (us version) doesn't come with a case. andrew, do u mind taking pics and posting them? i used to have the seido case which is awesome! i have the invsishield but haven't installed it yet.
With a quick google search I found it on amazon here.
Doesn't look too bad, with a variety of colours.
This was the original one that came with the phone:

The massive problem was the un-removable clip on the back. I say un-removable, but it can be removed, though it would have to be permanently by clipping it off.
Next week i am going to bike to netherlands so i thought maybe it is nice if i have a bike mount. So during my breaks ( during my exams) i builded my own bike mount. And this is the result. It doesn't look that nice bu it's really handy.

does anybody already did something like this. because i want some nice ideas for my next project
Something that would be pretty cool -- give it a power pack for on the bike too
That's veeeery nice! Great work!
yeah i just bought a solar charger with a battery inside. but that i have to mount on my backpack but there is a usb wire from my backpack over my bike to my htc.
For this i cutted out some of the metal for the mini usb
Make it charge by the tire rotation will be much cooler!
Not DIY, but there's this unit...
http://www.dahon.com/accessories/2010/biologic-reecharge
I've got one but haven't gotten around to mounting on my dahon bike with the front hub dynamo yet
Some other options

I am using my old Dicota keeper on my bike.
i was holding with this my iPAQ, Sony Ericsson P1i and now Touch PRO
Hmm, I'd be concerned that a vigorous bump would cause the phone to take a tumble. After being in at a least a couple car accidents with that kind of holder, where I got rear-ended, the phone didn't stay in the cradle. Wipe out on the bike and the phone goes flying :-(
So I have a few Nexus 7's... One 2012 and 3 2013. I have no use for the 2012 model at the moment and I am trying to find some off the wall use for it. I already use a n7 for my car stereo and the rest for standard tablets. What should I use this 2012 n7 for? I am looking for very non traditional uses. In other words I want to use it for something it was not really intended to be used for that might breathe some life into this extra piece of tech.

Not very non-traditional, but you can mount your N7 in your car and use it as a smart multi-media centre. Check out AutoDroid Rom.

Yep already have one in my dash. Needing something else.
WIFI MOD
do this
i did it to my N7
I think I'm going to use it as a test dummy for modding my 2013 n7.... Like move the rear camera out of the case on a ribbon and install it and the microphones in my dash. That way I can do video and hands free calls via hangouts.
I've been looking into picking up an android headunit for my WRX and I cannot justify buying a $400+ Android auto headunit. It's just too expensive. I found the Carlaoer F-Z-701TA(https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32946430734.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.3ad33c003kBuQF&mp=1) on Aliexpress and have been really keen on getting it for it's cheap price point of $80, and it's ability to run apps. I know that since it's cheap, there may be some problems, but the reviews seem promising. I don't care for music too much as the OEM headunit is garbage anyways. What I really care for is the ability to run Torque to view information about my car while driving. It helps me to monitor my car while on the track or even on the streets to make sure everything is in good working condition. Other than that, the ability to run Spotify + Waze is another nice to have.
Yes, I could use my Cobb AccessPort (It's a datalogging/tuner tool) or use Torque on my Phone, but it's extra things that could go flying in the car on the track.
Has anyone had long term experience with the Carlaoer F-Z-701TA? Any thoughts? Should I avoid it and go for something else?

Sorry to bother you guys but figured I have tried two of the resident experts on this type of stuff with no luck, and I apologize that I am not very knowledgeable on this stuff. I totally redid my 84 Monte Carlo SS both outside and now finishing up the inside of it. While doing so I came up with the idea of having a dedicated head unit run a backup camera, air ride controls, and other accessory type of stuff. While having a second unit run the stereo and front facing DVR, I thought I was all set because it had Bluetooth and I avoided the issue of having my phone run bluetooth stereo on one while the other would be able to bluetooth for the air ride.
What I currently have is these two units, JY-UOS02N4PX5S and UK-JY-UOS01P4V. The UK-JY-UOS01P4V is the unit I was hoping to run the Ridetech air ride app on to control the air ride. But I can change how I have the two setup if it would make a difference, but think they are pretty much the same specs except that the UK-JY-UOS01P4V has fast boot which is part of the reason for choosing to run it on the accessory stuff. Thanks for your time and sorry for creating another thread but have searched through and not found anything related to my specific units. Here is a pic of the basic setup of them to mimic modern cars to a point.
