Somehow my phone went into the car dock menu yesterday, and I don't know how? I don't see the program on my phone. Has anyone seen this happen, or know how to do it again?

Its a magnet triggered switch. It comes up when you stick in in the car dock. The actual program is called car panel. It doesn't seem to show up in sense launcher but it does show in adw.
Does anyone still have the apk for the Motorola Car Dock App from the Gingerbread-Stock ROMs? It seems that it's no longer in the ICS Stock Rom included.
Thx in advance
Install any cut from play, new shortcut, activities, there will be 10 vehicle docks to choose from, try number 8, if the list looks blank, scroll down, but it might take a few tries to find right vehicle dock shortcut.
Also the Rotate app licenced works great if your using universal car dock.

Are you saying there's no vehicle dock app in the ICS stock rom or do you just prefer the GB one? There's absolutely a vehicle dock app with ICS - I use it every day - and IMO its alot better than the GB version: a full screen of customizeable short cuts, more flexible calling options, etc. Are you missing that all together?

I'm not doing anything special to utilize the doc app. When I snap my phone in to the dock, the phone immediately recognizes it and launches the dock app home screen. I do have a smart action built to launch once it senses the dock:
Triggers: Vehicle Nav Dock and Charging
Actions: Brightness 100%, GPS On: BT On
The two services that run when I'm snapped into my Nav Dock are Motorola Dock Service and a Motorola Dock Helper Service.
Go to /system/app/ and look for: DockService.apk/odex and MotoDockHelperService.apk/odex. Are they missing?

Ah you use the Motorola car dock?
I don't have the dock. I only have a plastic GPS-holder-thingie that holds it in the car.
Back in GB, I have a Smart action rule that uses:
Trigger: BlueTooth connected to - my car
Actions: Launch: CarDock app, GPS on, WiFi off, etc....
Now I don't see the CarDock as an option of an app to launch. And yes, I do have those 2 apk/odex in my /app folders. And TiBackup also shows I have Cardock app installed as a system app.
I guess in ICS, u need the actual cardock to launch the cardock app? that's too bad :crying:
I'm following now
Maybe the solution is to use a 3rd party dock app from Google Play. I fooled around with a few of these while on GB because of the limitations that came with the Moto car dock before the ICS version. I remember liking Car Home Ultra the best.
Maybe installing one of them and then in Smart Actions you can add an action to launch the program? Good luck!
In nova launcher you can set an activity widget that launches the stock car dock app.

motorola car dock
i have just received the original motorola car dock last week and when i snap my phone into it the car dock comes up but having to unlock the phone is annoying.
i have ICS 4.0.4 installed and the car dock works fine apart from it does not stay active the screen times out which i find odd so i use the "keep screen" app to keep the screen alive when i have the car dock running.
now to the point!!! i also have a smart action rule set up for when the car dock is working. it sets the brightness, volume ring and other things so smart actions can be used with the stock car dock app.
the only other thing i find annoying is the navigation, the map shows upside down and after using sat navs in my work van its real annoying to get in my car and the map show upside down...
I have galaxy tab 10.1 ICS 4.0.4 with keyboard/charging base. Are there apps that will work while docked? Notifications, Pictures, general things to display while docked? TIA!

I too have the keyboard/charging base device but not sure I understand your question? All of the these functions work correctly when docked. I know there are apps controlling programs when docked but don't know if Tab recognizes when docked.

Maybe that is my answer. What apps are "base" aware? I dock the tab, and I'd like to have the display do something informative/entertaining besides run dark.

Here's an update.
No "dock" application was working during my tests with the keyboard. In addition to the Samsung keyboard, I also have the multimedia "dock". As soon as I put the Tab in the multimedia dock, the night clock dock app kicks right off.
So it seems the KB is not considered a docking station.
I'm going to start looking for more apps that can be used with the MM dock.
Hope this help.
PS. Click Thanks if this was useful.
I'm using tasker to handle that for me. I just set up a task that launches a slideshow app whenever docked.

is this feature stock on the galaxy view? i don't have the icon in my notification / quick settings pull down menu, nor does it appear if i select edit to show the available icons... further, does the galaxy view actually have a mirroring app that allows you to cast your tablet to your tv, that mirrors exactly what you see on your tablet, as opposed to just being able to cast when in certain apps, such as video player?
i'm using chromecast ultra and once the google home app has been installed on the galaxy view, casting to a tv works fine, however there are like 6 steps (clicks) you have to go through in order to finally get to "cast screen / audio".
what i'm ultimately trying to accomplish is cast my galaxy view to my tv with as few steps as possibly, 2 clicks at the most, am i dreaming?
I have an Android 9.0 car stereo unit
Of course, it's permanently in landscape mode.
I have the dock set to the right-hand side of the screen, with the apps I use most.
However, when I launch an app, the dock disappears.
Is it possible to always display the dock?
The unit can not be rooted (as far as I know).
I'm happy to use any launcher/tweak.
I do not wish to use Android Auto.
