Igrip holder for iphone in car

I've been wanting something to hold my iphone while I drive in a place where I could see the screen and be able to tap the buttons to make calls and also control the ipod functions. When I call I use my Jawbone so I'm hands free there and I attach to the AUX input on my stereo to hear the ipod.
What I wanted was one that attached to the cigarette lighter/aux power plug and had a rigid bendable arm so the iphone would be right there beside the steering wheel facing me. The only ones I could find (Griffin mostly) were the fm transmitter types for the ipod and I hate those and want to use the AUX input for the ipod.
I FINALLY found one made by Igrip that is exactly what I was talking about. The only weird drawback is that even though it does mount in the cig lighter/aux power plug - - it does not function as a charger for the iphone. But I have a seperate car charger so that's okay. I would post a link or pics but I have no idea how to do it. Google search igrip auto mount for iphone and you'll find it. They make a custom fit and a universal that both work with iphone. I went with the universal I use the agent 18 case and I think it will fit better without having to remove the case. 20 bucks on several sites.

Hi Julian,
I have the Belkin and while it works faultlessly with all the family iPods and my iPod touch, when I connect my new iPhone3G it complains that the accessory was not designed to work with it.
After I cancel that message it does work, but there isn't a specific cradle adaptor supplied to hold it securely in place, unlike for the iPods.
I have no experience with the Griffin.

  • Best Car Mount Holder for iPhone 6

    I'm looking for the Best Car Mount Holder for iPhone 6, any suggestions?

    Easy, Arkon's Mobile Grip 2 has already been named "best smartphone mount" by a number of other sites.  The MG279 is the one I use.
    http://www.arkon.com/mobile-grip/iphone-smartphone-windshield-dashboard-car-moun t-holder-MG279.html
    Fits the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, even if you're using a large Otterbox, Trident Case, Incipio Case, or other case.  Comes with a 2-year warranty.  Easy to use, spring-loaded holder.  Also features a 1/4"-20 threaded tripod pattern on the side of the holder so that you can take it off the mount and then use your iPhone 6 on any camera tripod.  I love that feature!  Less than $20 bucks...  4.5 star rated on Amazon.  http://www.amazon.com/Arkon-Windshield-Smartphone-iPhone-Samsung/dp/B00I58VAZS/r ef=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411326809&sr=8-1&keywords=MG279

  • Belkin Or Griffin For iPhone In Car?

    I want to listen to music which is on my iPhone on my car radio.
    I have no choice other than to go down the FM transmitter route.
    Which should I go for? The Belkin TuneBase FM With Clearscan OR the Griffin RoadTrip With Smartscan?

  • HT201198 Has everyone else had an issue with registration codes for iphone apple care?

    Recently got an applecare for my new iphone5 and when i went to register the protection pack it told me it was an invalid code. Has anyone else had this issue?

    Uhm, not sure why you are posting this here under "Cinema Displays"... in this particular forum you won't find too many folks wanting to read about iPhone or AppleCare trouble...
    Anyway, and aside from your question, you best contact Apple or whoever you purchased AppleCare from.

  • Recommendation for iPhone 4 car mount?

    After 4 to 5 unsuccessful attempts, I realised that iPhone 4 has its own peculiarities when it comes to car accessaries.
    1. Mechanical fit is different from previous gens. This makes a high finish Griffin seat unusable.
    2. Bumper socket slot opening makes most after market chargers unfit.
    Anyone has a good suggestion?

    Spiderpdoium is worth a look too, $20 direct, I love mine. It can goes between my Jeep and my wifes Ford within a few minutes and it leaves no marks. The legs are steel and very strong, but can be moved into any shape.

  • Best car mount for iPhone WITH case

    ive tried car mounts in the past and some worked fine...until I got a case for my iphone. lots of mounts have custom fitting so that it will fit the naked iphone just fine, but i need one that works with my case on it. so i guess just an adjustable one would be good...being able to turn it to landscape would be nice as well. anyone have suggestions?

    yeah but this is a custom holder for a "snug" fit...which is my problem. snug fit = doesn't fit if you have a case around your iphone. so i need one thats adjustable. im looking on amazon now and some of the reviews are so-so...so i was just wondering if there was a definitive iphone case out there.

  • Looking for a belt clip holder for my new iPhone 4

    Does anyone know of a case that is made for the iPhone 4 that has a belt clip on it so i can wear it on my hip? I've looked on the web and i can't seem to find one for the 4. The 3G S has them but not the 4.
    thanks in advance

    My bumper case is out for delivery but I keep missing the UPS guy. Once I have it, I'll give it a try in my Seidio holster and let you know how it works. As mentioned, I'm currently using a case-mate case that is working perfectly so I won't be using the bumper case. (but hey, it was free!) My understanding is the bumper case is tight around the dock connector so not a lot of stock connectors fit into the opening.
    Also, for your car, Pro-Clip makes an iphone 4 cradle specifically designed for the iPhone 4 using the original Apple bumper case which sounds like what you have. www.proclipusa.com will get you started and then you pick a vehicle mount and then a holder and the site will walk you through that. Kind of pricy but excellent quality and all custom for the specific car and phone.
    For all the hassle though getting a bumper case to work with anything, seriously, it's probably easier getting a case that is more compatible with stuff. Seidio is a great choice and they make a matching car cradle that works specifically with their case (or a bare iPhone 4 using the included insert) or check out the case-mate. Link below.

  • Best car phone holder for i phone 4

    Can anyone recommend a phone holder for my car? Trying to find the best one for mountin gon the dashboard.
    Recommendations please.

    The best holder you can buy is a Pro clips. I think there site is www.proclips.com. They are not cheap but well worth it. They make holders for iPhone with or without a case on it. I had one with a dock connector for my 3G. I was going to buy another one for my iPhone 4 but found out that my Pro Clip holder for my 5th gen iPod works! My iPhone 4 fits in the 5th gen iPod a little lose but works well. Glad I didn't throw it away. It will work OK till I get around to buying a new one.

  • What are my options for in car charging AND music playing for iPhone 3G?

    Ok, before you direct me to the other threads, I have read them, and I still don't know what product I can buy for my 3G that will charge my phone and play music in my car.
    With my original iPhone I was using the Griffin iTrip FM transmitter. It always gave me that message to ask if I want to switch to airplane mode. I would pick yes or no, then it would charge and play music.
    When I plug in my 3G I get the yellow triangle warning that says this device doesn't charge this phone (paraphrasing of course). It appears that it will play music, but if it won't charge my phone then I'm going to run the battery down fast. I rely on being able to charge my phone a bit during the day in the car.
    I do not have any AUX port in my car or any kind of iPod hookup in my car that I am reading about on other threads. As far as I know, an FM transmitter or a cassette adapater (I do have a tape deck) are my only options. However, since my husband's car that I drive on the weekends to work does not have a tape deck, I would really prefer a device that does not use a tape (also my previous experience with a tape adapter is that they stop working after a short while).
    The power port in my car is nearly at the floor, nowhere near the dash, so any device I use cannot require me to rely on the "on device" controls to control the music.
    I see this on amazon
    *Griffin PowerJolt Car Charger for iPod and iPhone (Black)*
    *Technical Details*
    *¿ Enjoy full use of your iPod or iPhone during car trips, and arrive with your battery fully charged.*
    *¿ Includes detachable Dock Connector to USB Type A cable that can be used separately to connect your iPod or iPhone to your computer.*
    *¿ Includes USB Type A to mini-B cable so you can charge while using Griffin iTrip or other dock connector devices that have built-in pass-throughs.*
    *¿ 2 Amp automotive blade-type fuse protects against spikes and surges and is easily replaceable.*
    *¿ Works with iPhone, iPod models that feature full-size dock connector, and iPod shuffle (1st generation).*
    And in another thread, people reported that the Griffin powerjolt DOES work with the 3G, so does the above description mean that I can use this device with my iTrip to charge and play music?

    My Pioneer iPod car audio adapter cable does NOT charge my iPhone 3G and they have no plans to change this at this time.
    I have a cheapo Griffin car iPod charger (the kind that has a plug for the cigarette lighter and a separate cable that has a mini-USB on one end and a dock connector on the other) and it DOES charge my 3G iPhone.
    Go figure, but for now there it is.
    Someone HAS to be working on an adapter that goes between the 3G iPhone and a dock connector device to fix this charging issue (which I guess has to do with the last iPhone and many iPods being able to charge via USB at 5V and/or FireWire at 12V but the new iPhone only charging via USB at 5V)

  • HT1665 Hello. Is there any way of finding a list of accessories which hold "made for iPhone" certification?

    Hello. There are a lot of new accessories available for iPhone 5 and iPhone 4 / 4S. Is there any way of finding a list of accessories which hold "made for iPhone" certification? I do not want to buy any accesories which may be harmful for my iPhone.

    Here is the start of the setup:
    Click on the Wi-Fi Options button and provide the needed info:
    Click on the OK button. Now check the Internet Sharing box to turn it all on. If the port box you checked is no longer checked, then uncheck Internet Sharing, check the port box again, then check the Internet Sharing box again.

  • Why my apple care for iphone doesn't transfer to my new phone after I claim a new one from apple store ?

    2 days ago my iphone fall into a sink full of water. Yesterday I went to apple store and ask for apple care for iphone and they have it. So, I bought it and registered it right away since my iphone still be in a garentee and still not surpass one year usage. Then they told me that my iphone problem considered in a "physical damage case" which they have a policy for claiming a new iphone and pay some fee. After I got my new iphone, they said that all the information and phone data which is registered into apple system about the phone and the user and bla bla bla will transfer to my new iphone. Today, I just check my phone serial number in "support & coverage " column and I found that all the phone data in apple system is already transfered from the old one to the new one EXCEPT the data of apple care that I already registered before I claimed the new phone. Now, the question is " What can I do ? " and " will it be transferd to my new iphone or I have to buy a new apple care for my NEW PHONE That I got from their service "

    Placing your iPhone in the toilet was the correct thing to do but you should have purchased an android phone instead. That would have solved these issues. :-)

  • Is there a car charger and fm frequency transmitter for iPhone with IOS6?

    is there a car charger and fm frequency transmitter for iPhone with IOS6?

    Here is something interesting about car chargers and the iPhone 3G:
    From Macworld:
    On to the power adapters. Here’s the story: We learned a while back that iPhone 3G doesn’t support charging “via FireWire.” The thing is, there are lots of devices out there that don’t actually have a FireWire port, but are technically FireWire chargers because they’re sending power on the dock-connector pins that were used for power by the FireWire interface. There are a lot of reasons for this, chief among them the fact that the FireWire spec allows as much a 18 volts, while USB is a 5-volt connection. Since cars provide 12 volts of power, many if not most car-chargers used the FireWire method to send power.
    However, in the interests of space and simplicity (i.e., not having to engineer for two separate power paths), Apple has dropped support for FireWire charging with the iPhone 3G. This means that many accessories won’t charge an iPhone 3G. Borchers said that Apple gave accessory developers a strong hint that this was going to happen a while ago, but he said that some companies have continued to implement FireWire-based chargers despite the warning.
    But there’s some hope in sight: Borchers told me that at least a couple of third parties will be releasing converters that will pass through the dock connection, but convert the power to a USB standard. That adapter may make many of those charging devices come back to life

    Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum.  Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is.  Apple is not here.  It's users, like you. 
    If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off.

  • When will there be a car charger available for iphone 5?

    I want to know when there will be a car charger available for iphone 5?

    Texasgirl97: You do not need a car charger "with a Lightning connector on it". Car chargers have a USB port; all you have to do is use the cable that came with your iPhone 5, which has a USB connector on one end (plug it into the car charger) and a Lightning connector on the other end (plug it into the iPhone 5). Car chargers are cheap, much less than $50 or even $30. I've seen some advertised for around $10. Some even have two USB ports. Extra cables are becoming available now at around $10. Search Amazon.com or other on-line vendors.
