Seems as though someone found a way to make the HD2 Car mont work for the EVO... Seems to be a simple mod as well... If ayone is willing, it would be nice to have a how to written...

Give thanks to olimar for the find...

The how to is simple: he snapped off one of the clips. That's it. The charging port slides over to where the micro usb jack is and is held in place by the micro usb and the clip on the top. Both of the side clips are rendered useless, although you can see in his pictures that he left one on anyway.

It's a little sloppy; I'll wait for the EVO specific one.

Found these...looks promising. I'm thinking of investing on the "friction" dash mount. I live in CA...and its "illegal" to attach anything to the windshield.

Actually it is not completely illegal to mount to windows in cali
SB 1567 made it legal but
The new law, however, has an odd clause that specifies the GPS must be mounted within "a 7-inch square area in the lower corner of the windshield farthest removed from the driver (the passenger side) or in a 5-inch square area in the lower corner of the windshield nearest to the driver (the lower left corner of the windshield)." That means the most common and useful front-and-center GPS windshield mount is still banned

This makes me so thankful I don't live in that backwards state.

I just ordered that one... I'll post my review of it later this week.

I just ordered one on eBay I'll post my review when I get (if there is any interest). The one in the above uTube was also for sale, but I didn't go for that one as I felt the gooseneck design would result is a lot of shaking.

So, the one I actually bought seems to have a more rigid design. The downer is it's coming from Hong Kong so it's going to be awhile

I got this one from ebay and it is awesome....
Cost was all of $0.99 plus $4.95 shipping
