Samsung Car Home
Free AppAbout Samsung Car Home
With one-touch access to Maps, Navigation, Voice Search, Contacts, Phone, and Music, this app is the perfect companion software for the Samsung Vehicle Dock. This application can receive and display the latest traffic alerts, location-based information and navigation features when the Galaxy S smart phone is in the Samsung vehicle dock. The application automatically launches when the phone is docked and exits when the phone is removed from the dock.
Note: this application keeps the phone unlocked so that you have access to your phone while driving, including keeping maps active while navigating using GPS. This may conflict with security policies for corporate email. It does not affect locking time-out when the phone is not docked.

Ditto, on the no car dock comment. I will try this app when samsung actually has a car dock.

Update... I seems an app, "App Protector Pro (App Lock)" locks out imbeded apps. I have since uninstall the app and everything is fine. I do agree with other ratings though, needs to have a way to add music apps to interface.

And ability to access the REAL home page without undocking. NOTE TO SAMSUNG ET AL: Just because the phone is docked doesn't mean I'm driving.

Like the autorun with dock insert. Being uncustomizable makes this app near useless. I don't use the music player. I use google music and pandora. I can't quick open my camera to take video or photos of stuff along my drive. Time to whip out the android sdk and make one that is at least decent.

I get total functionality without Samsung car dock. Like Desk Home, though, wish for more customization.

This app is pointless. There are better ones out there which allow for customization. Better yet, just get the samsung sound rerouter.

Uninstalling soon as I finish this review. Locks the phone up. Had to pull the battery. Going to take the cradle back next.

Perfect app but had one major flaw. Can't drag apps to the home screen off the app. Spotify, 3rd party nav, etc.

I wish it would turn the GPS and Bluetooth on when you dock, and then off again when you undock.

It would be nice if there was an option to turn off wifi when the apparently is activated. I always wind up picking ilup wiring signals in driveways.
