The process of installing and removing. Maybe I have just used the wrong ones but it is such a headache to use those little spring loaded "feet" to stick back into the vent. The vent flaps move, you don't have the spring pulled far enough...etc.

This is the one I have.

Does the G2 have Car Mode, similar to what HTC does in Sense? If so, anybody got any screen shots they are willing to put up?

It does have a car mode. The trigger is just below the camera and to the right. The app is really plain though and not configurable.

I bought this car mount a few weeks back and it is the best I've ever owned. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DPMNNUO/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It comes with two plates. Just slip it behind a case. The magnet is really strong and if I place it just right it can trigger the car mode.

Thanks for that - does it auto-rotate to Landscape?

Yes it does. At least it does for me. I'm using Nova Launcher. You can select an activity and create a shortcut to it. I've been thinking of trying the old car home that was fully customizable. It allowed you to change all of the buttons.

Cheers - currently using a HTC One X with the genuine HTC car dock - works really well and I do use it a lot. Contract due for renewal, so just checking my options out

Most of the car mode apps that I downloaded looked ok as a home screen, but once you went into the phone dialer, they went from landscape to the standard dialer in portrait mode.

I had to find the app. This is the google car home app that came out around the time of the Original Droid. It's a much better car home app. All buttons can be changed and moved. It even has color settings and bluetooth toggle so there is no need for the magnet trick!!

I just have the simple cradle from my Wilson Booster. I have a thin ebay incipio-style case on my phone, just because I like having that little protection against rubbing, but it works fine for me, holds about right, and secure enough for me.
