Galaxy SIII car dock

So broke down and bought a Galaxy SIII. Just as I start liking this stupid thing I find there is no car dock for it like there was for my SII.

http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/mobi ... ype=others <-- SII car dock. Note the sliding bottom piece that slides up into place once the phone is in the cradle. This allows charging and passing of audio to my car stereo via a 1/8 jack on the back.

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/genuine-sams ... p35105.htm <-- Galaxy SIII car cradle (I dont know why they call it a dock). Notice there is no dock on the bottom thus no charging or interfacing.

Two ideas. Modify my SII dock to fit the SIII. Or buy the SIII cradle and mod the sliding piece from the SII onto the SIII cradle. Or if I could find a cable to split the microSD out to an audio out and microsd female for charging and rig that up to the SIII cradle somehow...

Idea? suggestions?

I have the s3 cradle and find it to be just fine. I use a bluetooth receiver for audio and just plug it in with the microUSB cord

Unfortunately I do not have a Bluetooth module for my headunit and I prefer to dock my phone then have to manually plug it in when I sit down. Extra step would make me just leave the phone in my pocket.

I got the S3 cable and think I can modify the dock from the S2 cradle and attach it to the S3 cradle with JB weld or something.
