Default [Q] Vehicle Dock Setup W/out Vehicle Dock

Does anyone know if it's possible to get the vehicle dock interface running in the car without the vehicle dock?

I have the Multimedia Dock/hd dock and was planning on mounting that on my dashboard and was wondering how to get the option in the list to use the car dock setup?

Yes you can get the car dock program running without the car dock. You need the app called Anycut from the market. This app makes shortscuts for you. The intructions are listed here in the forum. Just search for Anycut.

If you cannot find it, I will see if I can help further.

Anycut works and is a neat app. However, I use launch x and couldn't put the anycut shortcut into my app widget. If you get the "Car Mode" app from the market, it does the exact same thing (pretty much a short cut to car dock) and acts like any other app.

Just note if you use the car mode app be sure to click the app icon after you close it otherwise whenever you hit the home button it will bring up the car home. Took me a min to figure that out.
