Default vechile home screen/car mount question

When using the car mount, is there any way to keep the phone from going to the vehicle home screen? With the older droid mounts the removal of the magnet from the mount was possible, but I have not been able to find where the magnet or proximity sensor that controls this is located. I would like to keep it from defaulting to the vehicle home screen as I do not like the extra map stuff that I have to go through to get to the navigation app.

There are a few ways you can do this:
  1. Root, install Titanium Backup, and freeze the CarDock app
  2. Install Tasker and create a profile to kill the CarDock app when docked
  3. Install an app like Dock No-Op or Dock Nothingness

I replaced the CarDock app with the AOSP one from CyanogenMod. It has an "exit" button.

I just set up a smart action to launch Car Dashboard app when it detects the vehicle nav dock. Works great. I like the default nav home screen, but I wish it had more than one screen and was customizable like the Bionic. I need to be able to get Google Navigation and Pandora on the menu and the Car Dashboard does it for me.

Car home ultra is a nice car dock app with lots of side screens.

I would agree about Car Home Ultra. It's my personal favorite out of all the one's I've tried. You can add apps, shortcuts, individual numbers to call and many other things.
