About Car Mode *Root*
*Root is required, no question*
*Does not work with Android 5.0 Lollipop*
The reason why root is required is because I have to make one particular call via the shell that you cannot normally do with normal Android SDK broadcast intent capabilities.
This is a super simple app that enables and disables the Car Dock function. Once given the super user permission, you can just tap on the app in your app drawer or leave it as an app on your homescreen that sort of doubles as a 1x1 widget but as an app icon.
Do not disable the car dock mode from the system notification, it will cause rotation to stick until reboot. This is a system provided notification that disables car dock "incorrectly".
Tested and working Devices
Nexus 5 w/ Android 4.4.2
Galaxy Nexus w/ Android 4.3
Droid Incredible w/ Android 4.0.4

It solved the purpose I downloaded it for but now there is another problem which has started that is that I cannot control screen rotation now. My phone's screen keeps on rotating even if auto rotation is turned off ........... SO NEGATIVELY HELPFUL
