There was never a dock released for the VZW GNex. I am just using a (very slightly modified) GSM GNex dock. There was an article on this process posted to DL a number of months ago.

Damn my bad, never saw that someone had responded to this.
I am using the GSM GNex pogo car dock with my VzW GNex. Just needed a VERY slight modification of the volume rocker.
There was an article on this very site detailing the process a number of months ago.

Now available via amazon or direct from the maker. Same one as on eBay in December. Do a search for “MagNector Pogo Cable” and “pogocable” website will pop up. Price is $19.95 as of 1/28/2013.

Got mine a couple days ago, so far it’s not much…if any faster than the stock USB charger when the device is sitting idle.

Hi there,

I am the one supplying and selling the pogo cable on eBay. We just shipped out the first orders received from ebay, so we expect most buyers get their orders delivered soon. Unfortuately, ebay removed the listing for some reason a few days ago, so it has caused a rumor that the listing on ebay could be a scam or fraud. Now we are trying to resolving the issue with ebay, and sooner or later the pogo cable will be available online again. If you have any question about the pogo cable, I am happy to answer you by email at jsteven@naver.com. Thank you.

Just got an notification from eBay that the listing has been removed…
“We understand this may be disappointing, but occasionally we need to remove listings. In some cases, the item itself is fine, but was listed in a way that didn’t follow eBay’s guidelines”

Trying to contact the Magnectar folks to see if they’re going to fulfill my order or refund me.

Google commission Samsung to make the charger. That’s what Google are bad at doing – not understanding the want or need for accessories.

Yeah I’m having a hard time finding a link to the VZW Galaxy Nexus car dock…any links?

The problem is they didnt have it at the beginning of the product life. The docks were only available for a very brief instance about halfway through.

Which car dock are you using? Mind sharing a link?

They need to figure out a shape first, then work on some standards across the board. Then do the above

Look at it this way, its not worth their time and desources to develop accessories for something they envision people keeping for 12 months max….only to replace said item with a differently shaped device on which none of the accessories will work.

Moto was the only one doing it, and people had coronaries over having to pay more than $20 for any accessory. If you want accessories, be prepared to shell out $$$ to amortize the costs or nobody will make them. This is a flaw that a lot of android users have, and until we all work to correct it….well…nothing will change.

I really don’t know why Google/Samsung seem to have so much trouble getting accessories out for their products. How hard could it be when millions of people are waiting to buy them?

Been using the car dock for my VzW GNex for many months, and it works great, even with the extended battery. All that was needed was the very small volume rocker modification.
