    For those using this kit with the S3 phone, do you have any cases on your phone or do you have to remove the phone from the case before using?

    Thanks

    You can rotate it - fits my nexus 4 perfectly.

    You need to take the arm out, then twist the base around and the arm goes in the other hole.
    It's not obvious at all that you can do it. Took me a few minutes to notice it too.


    that extra hole is sneaky :D
    fits my HTC One with Otterbox

    If anybody still wants one of these I have a spare un-opened unit available at cost (€25).

    For those wondering about what size phone will fit I have my Galaxy Note 1 installed. Needed to cut away some of the rubber pads with a sharp blade but its comfortably fitting (sans case) in landscape mode.

    Anyone having trouble with this? I'm finding that I lose speaker connection during the call, and I have to change from Bluetooth to phone speaker and back to get it working again?

    I only lost Bluetooth connection once, the battery ran low and as part of the energy efficiency settings Bluetooth became disconnected.

    Are there other devices blocking/interferring with the Bluetooth?

    On a separate issue I`m finding the charging aspect only works intermittently (i.e charges for 20 secs, runs off battery for 20 secs, rinse and repeat). Its only annoying because my screen lights up everytime charging is started. I`m not sure there is a loose connection between my phone (Galaxy S4) and the device.

    Yep Im having the same problem but it I tried another phone and it charged correctly so it may be a compatibility issue with my phone a Sony Xperia S.

    Thanks, I have an obd Bluetooth device plugged into the car, I'll remove it and see if it improves. Pretty sure issue was there before I got the odb.

    I've no issues charging.

    I have the same setup. Same thing happened me a few times and I had a look at the settings on the phone. Doubtful that it made any difference but I changed the visibility to never time out. Hasn't happened since but haven't been on a substantial length call.

    My main problem is that it doesnt reconnect when I get back into the car unless I plug it out and back it.

    Im having a problem also. I bought 2 for our cars. My phone will pair with my bluetooth but won't pair with the bluetooth in my wifes car and vice versa. Anyone any advice for a novice before I send them back to amazon as times nearly up on the warranty.

    I put mine on the right of the steering wheel and ran the wire into the air vent and out beside the gear stick at the power supply. Bit of work but no wires showing so best option for me.
