Motorola D4 cardock defect/error

[TexasSilhouette]

Bit of a shame, really, I hate the clamp as it blocks being able to slide up the screen for the keyboard. I find it helpful to use the keyboard while in the dock (not while driving, of course) for typing addresses in the map app.

I slide my display up to expose the keyboard in mine, it squeaks by the clip/clamp. Helps cool that hot battery too.

The usb/audio cable is almost useless as the dock only seems to want to output audio to it when using the MOTO "smart mode" cardock.

You should NOT plug the USB/Audio cable directly into your phone. It should have a tag on the phone end with an image of a phone with a line through it. A computer with a line through it on the other end. It only works via the car dock.

Correct, I am talking about when it is in the dock and not tripping the "car Mode" which happens every 3rd time or so. I wish Android had a means to select which audio output to use at any given time (usb/speakerdock, BT, headset jack)

Well, right after the car to USB Adapter just fell apart, my car dock itself stopped working.
To power it, I got a different 12V to USB Adapter to power it. Then my phone didn't switch into car mode when put into the dock. Also no charging. Bummer !
Now, I can only charge it when I unplug the audio/USB cable and plug it directly into the phone.

That was a waste of money !!
