Samsung Official Car Dock "MOD"

[xjestersdeadx]

Just wanted to tell everyone I "solved" the problem of the official Samsung Car Dock not playing music and phone calls through the headset.

Well, sort of. I removed the entire "USB slider" mechanism, and just hook up the power cord and headset directly to the phone.

If you pry apart the back of the slider, there a just some small screws holding to the dock. It comes apart easily.

Not quite the software solution I would have wanted, but the official dock is pretty cheap right now compared to alternatives, so I went with it.

I dont have a car dock I just run a soldered in audible cable out of the headphone jack. Perfect audio in, but thats also because I drive a VW that I had to do that.

I'm running SC2.9.2 - car dock works just fine with the USB slider and headphone out the back. Use the Car Cradle app and hit the Speaker icon. That turns on the USB sound. Been working for several of the previous versions of Froyo also.

I'm having a lot of trouble believing that none of you guys ever pop into the Dev section.

Wouldn't an easier solution have been to just turn dock the phone upside down then flip the dock around? No need to pull of the slider mechanism.
