Help Charging/Hard Wiring question

[gripweed]

I'm trying to think of a good way to mount my Droid X car mount in a more permanent fashion.

Currently it's on a friction bag on the dash, but that means I got the charger cable hanging and that drives me nuts.

Anyways, I was thinking of hard wiring it. Does anyone know of a specific adapter to use for the X?

Currently I have a USB port plugged into my 12v socket and charge the phone that way. Doesn't pull on it so much like the typical verizon charger. Which brings up a question, the verizon car charger drops it down to 5 volts to charge, right? So how does it work with the USB charging in the car or a computer say. Does the phone have a regulator built in as well?

Anything that outputs power through a USB port only puts out 5 volts, so use whatever USB car charger you like best.

I used a Kuda mount along with the Droid X car dock. Worked well for me and it sorta looks factory.

Another option is the pro fit mount.

Here are some photos of how it turned out in my vehicle.

hmm...that's kind of an interesting option.

How does something like that work out? I got a CR-V, so would I need both of these?
