[MOD] Car Dock - Dissasembled

---

Ok so i HATE the car home launching on the dock, my X2 and OG Droid used a magnet to trigger the home but Razr uses a resistor in the usb pins. Without proper tools to rework the internal wiring i decided to completely replace the usb internals with a oem moto charger (from my X2 bundle) and hey it turned out well, and actually slides in better than before. (i had the phone in the dock plugged in when i applied the bonding agent to the back of the mount to ensure it was lined up correctly)

Want to sell the old guts?
I'd like to know how to make my phone go into dock mode without a dock.

My car has a place to sit the phone that works great but, no auto rotate.

Its junk to me, message me your address and I'll throw it in the mail in an envelope. The 43c is on me

If you haven't mailed it out, would you mind taking some full-on, hi-res pics of the components on the board? Might help those looking to simulate a dock connection without shelling out for the moto dock.

Sure I'll snap some shots of it and post them here.

Looking those pictures, I bet that's the same PCB inside the Webtop Travel Adapter. I just wonder if you could solder a USB A Male connector on the usb leads in place of the micro USB connector and then plug it into a usb hub connected to the y adapter w/power and OTG Cable and enable webtop...

Board closeups.

If you install the google car home app it will allow you to exit car mode while docked..no need to mod it.

I got the app here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1081009

The problem isn't leaving the home app, its that it launches any launcher at all, it messes up things im doing example docking a paused netflix movie. Also more importantly it was causing hell with my launcher7, blanking out icons and such, even with a app that launches no car dock it still launches that app as a "home".

I get in and out of my car 20-50 times a day, i wish you could just disable the car dock in the system settings. all in all im happy with the dock now, the slider fits perfect now, before i had to wiggle it.

Why not just freeze the dock app?
