I have a question about how the Car Dock is triggered in Android:
Is there a way to do this automatically outside of buying a "car dock" for your given phone?
I've got a GoMadic cup holder style generic phone holder that I'm pretty happy with and a basic microUSB car charger. It would be nice to trigger a Car Dock app only when its plugged in there, but I'm assuming the car docks have some sort of pin set in their USB or something that tells android "this is a car mount"...
Is there a way to do this without one of the car docks? While the Seidio car dock for the EVO looks nice, it seems to be a windshield (not a good idea in CA unless you like tickets) or a dash mount. I like the cup holder mount, so I'd rather stick with that.
Is there some sort of hardware/software thing I can get to auto trigger this? Is there a microUSB car charger that triggers the Android car mode? Am I looking at this problem in the wrong way?
