Car Home

---

I successfully added Car Home to my KF to so I can use it as a head unit in my car. I have a couple questions about the shortcut buttons that are preloaded and adding my own shortcuts.

When I hit "Maps" it brings up Google Navigation
When I click "Navigate" it displays the error "Activity not found."
When I click "Add shortcut" I receive the same error "Activity not found."

Does anybody know if it is possible for me to fix these errors?

I'm pretty comfortable with sideloading files, changing permissions, and entering commands into terminal emulators so I'm sure whatever solution I can do it. Thanks!

Your Kindle has no GPS, so using it as a navigation aid will be a bit problematic.

No idea about fixing the specific errors, but I am guessing the GPS thing is the biggest problem in for this operation.

I've already set up my KF so that I am tethered to my phone through GPS and for data. (I guess I should have said that in my original post!)

I side-loaded Google Maps 6.0 and the navigate button works fine with my GPS tethered Fire. I didn't add Car Home, though.

What did you do to get Car Home to work? I can get the icon to show up, and launch, but it just takes me to my homescreen...

Did you change the permissions of the file in system/app using Root Explorer?

When you click the Navigation Button (The one with the arrow), what program opens up?

Yes I did. It says it's running in my notifications bar, but all I see is my homescreen. Weird, I know.
