Not sure exactly how hard what I want would be, but, I'd like to know if an app dev could repoint the Navigation and Maps buttons in the new DL30 car dock to the Google counterparts. I need the DL30 function to enable audio on my Samsung dock, but I refuse to use Bing/VZ Navigator. I imagine this would be much easier than fixing the desk dock to incorporate the audio button I need, but if someone has one or did it, I'd welcome both.

the google car dock works great. it points to the defualt apps. you need the stock music player to play music through the aux. i have the stock app for the music player and i use winamp as a widget on my home screen. the google car dock is more customizable than the stock car app.
I just tested, and indeed, this will work. However, if I ever need to navigate, I've got to open the music app, activate the dock, then go back to Maps. What would be REALLY FREAKING AWESOME is if I could swap out something on that app I'll never use, like Search, for a link to the music app. THEN it would truly be a 1 stop shop. Alas, I regret not learning a programming language in times like these. Google was supposed to release a 'build-it-yourself' software, but haven't heard anything on it since it's conception

you must still be using the stock car app. find a gapps, jt has one in his van froyo thread. install the card doc and cardock launcher. you have to delete the stock car dock before you install the google.
I tried the google car dock, but it doesn't have the audio switching link. My point is, I want a Google Car Dock that has that option. Or, if possible, a Google Car Dock that has the audio out button AND replaces Search with Music. Know of a way I can crash-learn to edit apk's?

you have to have the tw music player installed as well. you cant use the aosp music player.
google car dock
tw music player
I think you're missing my point....I know it will work if I keep either the TW music -or- the TW car dock. But that requires additional app switching. I'm looking for a one stop shop. Car dock, points to Google apps, has the audio icon, bonus if it replaces search button with Music link.

i got ya. maybe some one could make just that short cut so you dont have to open the music app at all. you just press that button and use what ever music app you want. i like the honeycomb music app but am stuck with the tw. hey great idea dude.

Yes an editable car cradle app that has the audio switch button. (and one does does not redirect output to the phone speaker if you exit the app)
Heck I wouldn't mind just having a widget that could turn on and off the audio to usb and not use the car app. I have a folder that has everything in that apps screen and more. If I could just turn on audio Id use that as my Car Home app. Someone give me a widget to switch audio to the USB and nothing more..Pleeassse
Might be time to actually try App Inventor
If you can get that to work, I will tip my hat to you x100. I first tried APK Manager, found in another xda forum. Opened both the stock and the google car docks, and tried copying the differing items in the main layout and the app calls, as best I could figure being a non-programmer. Of course, it was a flop. So, I extracted the icon images from the zipped apk, and tried App Inventor. I got the background loaded, the icons all appeared in a line down the left hand side, and I could only find functions to open the music player and contacts (I think). I can't help but think, the job would be a snap for someone out there with proper skills to replace Bing Maps with Google Maps, VZ Navigator with Google Navigation, and Search with Music Player. Til that day comes, I'll work with what we've got, then buy a Thunderbolt in a couple of weeks and give ole Sammy the bird, permanently
You could try this.
Rename your existing carcradle apk to carcradle.apk.old and drop this one in the system/app folder. It will point to google maps and nav ( first click you must select google nav but after it works every time.) cant help on audio as i dont use a car cradle.

Perfect... Thanks dude. I was also curious to see if this could be done. Does this support audo out via USB when docked? If not, no worries. Thanks again.
How do you get audio out with the usb? I thought the usb connection on the dock was just for charging and that the 3.5mm jack was for audio out...

its not the car dock app thats the problem. you have to use the stock music app. play a song there, press the little phone icon to make the audio come out the 3.5 then pause the music and then go play pandora or whatever.
I have the Logitech Revue with google tv and I was wondering if it would be possible to get that controller to work as a wifi keyboard with the NC. The revue is android and there are Apps that allow the NC to control the revue, I just want a reverse capability. Thoughts?

not sure about that, but cm7 has bluetooth and i sometimes use a bluetooth keyboard with my nook

Although I'm not 100% sure about this, I've read that wifi keyboards are not supported by the Nook (or any android device, at least not anything from 2.3 and below). The hardware has to be specifically programmed to work with an app on android, and that is why the controller-type apps (like you're talking about, and also the one that allows you to control a PC) work but a keyboard wouldn't.
I've never heard that, but it doesn't apply to all android devices because my google tv is running android 2.1. I emailed the developer of the application that allows an android device to control the google tv to ask if reverse compatibility is possible. He responded asking what device in wanted to use the keyboard with. We'll see.

Picture please! Your dock or your dock icons not visible???
If, you dock icons not visible:
Go
system/build.prop
#Soft Buttons
presist.tablet.hidehome=1
presist.tablet.hiderecent=1
presist.tablet.hideback=1
All " 1 " to change " 0 "!
I'm having the same issue. I've been running CM9 on my Galaxy Tab (THE Galaxy Tab, not 7+, 8.9, or 10.1) and recently bought the desktop dock specifically for the audio out through the base station (looking to use it for a car PC application).
Sadly, no audio out through the dock :'( Have not tested HDMI as I don't really care about that. Anyone know if there is/will be a fix for this? I'd prefer not to have to go back to a TouchWiz based ROM.
I tried to report the problem on the bug treads, development treads and so on, but no one seems to care about this. I can understand that this is not a core functionality but it is part of the functions of the tablet. Maybe when the ICS rom will be stable someone will loose some time after this... I hope...
...BTW, even the HDMI does not work...
I think that CyanogeMod 9 will never work perfectly with the dock. It's just a random thing to have.
Is this dock referred to keyboard dock? I if yes, I I had the same concerns to having keyboard dock Samsung running on cm9(rc1)

No audio, I can understand. But are you saying that keyboard dock also doesn't work? Have you actually try this correctly?

Hi!
I have the gt-p1000(gsm) with cm10.1 (android version 4.2.2) and still no audio from the dock port.
I use the tablet as a media source on my car, so I need audio out put from the dock port. I know, I could use the stock rom, but some my favorite apps work only on jellybeam and the bluetooth is'n working on android 2.3.6.
So if You are a guru, please look in to this.
Thanks.

Nice work, do the tire pressures actually show on the screen like that? I noticed they are all currently zero? However, for me personally I would try to go with a less is more approach to make it easier to use while driving. I attached a copy of the launcher that I use in my car, hopefully you can see what I mean by looking at them. One is a slightly older version before I changed the labels to be more generic, but shows the music player, temperature etc.
These were made using an image I found via Google of the Audi MMI screen, I cleared off the icons and then re-created labels of my own using Photoshop. Each of these then has a hotspot widget using UCCW to open the app.

the tyre presure is just a n image....main functions on first screen is music controls,time and speedo display..i liked yous clean interface..
I suspected it might be just an image, would be nice to have the pressure monitored there. It's a shame that the tire pressure is not monitored via OBD otherwise I am sure Torque could pick it up and you could then set it as a widget.
Obd 2 adapter I am using is the cheap eBay one it's not picking all information from car ecu

Hi guys, I recently made a big upgrade in my car sound system and switched to an Android head unit. A PX6 10-in screen octa-core 8 GB RAM 64 GB ROM unit. I like many other people have discovered the pitfall of these stereo units. What little Bluetooth functionality you have is accessed awkwardly through the phone app menu. I can deal with that but what I can't deal with is the Bluetooth audio app is only accessible from the built-in launcher. If you use another launcher you cannot access the app drawer that the Bluetooth audio app is located in along with a handful of other preloaded proprietary apps that cannot be reached from the primary app drawer. Does anyone else have this problem and has anyone else come up with a solution? I have attached pictures of the installed unit with car web guru launcher a picture of the proprietary app drawer and a picture of the accessible app drawer.
I tried to do a workaround by hot-spotting to my head unit and running Pandora and Spotify on the head unit rather than from the phone and those apps will not work on a hotspot connection for some reason.
