WIP: Galaxy Note 2 Car Dock Part 4 (Video)

At the end of part 3, I was planning on upgrading the wireless charger to a QI-standard one. The chargers will take weeks to arrive as I ordered when the shops were on holiday for Lunar New Year. I was also working on an automatic retract and extending system for the dock which has been for the most part completed.


The platform retracts allowing me to create a space to place my phone when the car turns on and extends for easy removal of the phone when the car turns off.

DIY: HTC Amaze 4G Screen Replace

Here's a quick project while I'm waiting for parts for the other projects. I obtained an HTC Amaze 4g with a broken screen and wanted to fix it up to work again.

WIP: Galaxy Note 2 Car Dock Part 3 (Video)

At the end of Part 2, I had a semi-functional dock for the Note 2. It was able to retract and extend, but the wireless charging portion did not function properly and was constantly disconnecting and reconnecting every time I shifted into reverse or braked.


In this part I try to solve some of the problems and improve on other aspects of the dock.

WIP: Galaxy Note 2 Car Dock Part 2 (video)

It's been a while but I've been slowly making progress on my Note 2 car dock. In my last update I made a frame to test out the charging out of foam core, but now I've made one out of Lexan.
