A big advantage over third-party holders is that the audio cable for external playback (via the auxiliary input of the car radio) is connected directly to the support structure and not on each mobile phone; So must the insertion of the mobile phones not only cables are plugged in, the cables are permanently with me to the holder on the one hand and the car outlet and the auxiliary input of the radio on the other hand connected, the sound is on the USB connector (on the bottom of SGS2) in the mobile click when you insert into the holder transferred to the holder.
The bracket enables the SGS2, unlike many holders of third party in the Android Car dock mode; which has - in addition to the start of the voice control - an important consequence that, for example, a telephone playback through external headset (and thus also the external playback of phone calls through the car radio), without additional app is not possible: Who a free calling via the external audio terminal and the car radio wishes to recommend the app "Car Dock Settings" from the Android Market (free); Here is then "Enable Speakerphone".
But turning on the Car Dock Mode also includes a risk: If the SGS2 off, it starts with inserting into the cradle. That would be the extent not bad, but it is also launched a totally unloaded machine: as the battery charge and the charge current to the full launch is not enough, breaking the startup process immediately back to start again after a split second. It happened to me that I because of too tight holder could not the machine itself, remove fast enough out of its holder (I had not the presence of mind to pull the power cord out of the socket), with multiple re aborted attempts to start me was the whole Firmware zerschossen (read back new flash. For users looking for are not familiar with this, it would have been necessary to return the instrument to the manufacturer, a lengthy procedure, which also means loss of data!).
So be aware: do not set completely emptied device for charging into the holder, this is recommended to connect the charging cable directly!
