I am running CM9 alpha 3 and I'm absolutly loving it. It's great ot be able to get audio through the car dock with no extra installs. I also found Car Dock Settings that allows for automatic volume maximization on docking like Galaxy Dock Sound Redirector does for custom kernels.
I also have the Multimedia Desktop Dock for my desk and unfortunately I haven't been able to get sound out of the 3.5mm plug. Does anyone know if that is possible and how to make it happen?

I'm also having the same issue though i'm not a epic 4g user. does car-docking direct you to different screen like car mode? as you know, media dock directs you to desk clock. I'm trying to merge those two dock options into car-dock as a temporary solution. does cm9 has car mode? i don't have a car dock but only media dock

It has car mode because it shows the steering wheel icon in the notification bar but it doesn't take you to a dock app. I don't like the car dock apps so I'm actually fine with that.

well then pretty much the solution would be merging desk dock mode into car mode so that it recognizes it as car dock temporarily. Thanks for your answer I was trying to know it before I really spend my time to fix it. Hopefully it works...
Did you manage to get this working? I have the same problem on my i9000.
I have the same issue with the multimedia dock. It works fine on AOKP, but I don't know if it's kernel or ROM related. Might even be audioflinger. Think I will try and push a couple libs from AOKP and see if it changes anything.

I'm looking for a car dock that will automatically trigger the car functions such as Navigation and etc. Sorry if this has been covered before. Thanks
You can set it to launch with any BT device can't you?
The Seidio is supposed to.
I'll be finding out soon enough but others here have posted that it is working...
I have the HTC one, and it automatically launches the car mode. It really is a nice dock, but a little costly.
I received the car dock yesterday and am having an issue that might be a deal breaker for me.
I am using Juggernaut v5.0 (rom and the kernel that it comes with).
Videos and music play fine through the speakers, but calls are not. I looked at all the settings that it could be and cannot seem to find it.
When docked and I get a call, its through the speaker of the phone only and NOT through the cars speakers like music and videos do.
For those that dont know or dont have the dock, your car charger and auxiliary cable plug into the dock itself and everything runs through the charging port of the phone.
I need to be able to hear my callers via the car speaker when docked or I might have to run the dock.
Any help or suggestion(s) would be grand. Thanks for your time.
Or does anyone have a stock t989 and also own the Samsung OEM Navigation Car Dock that can verify that the stock rom gets call audio through the car speakers when docked?
Weird, I flashed this today and still no Call Audio through the car speakers when docked.
I hope there is a fix very soon. Kind of makes the car dock useless.
Did you checked that:
settings; dock settings; audio output mode. I had the same problem before.

Yes, first thing I checked.
You are able to get Call Audio out from the car speakers when docked?
Hi, FYI have the very same issue with SGS4G with stock (T-Mobile) Gingerbread and its OEM Samsung navigation car dock/mount; I would therefore assume this to be a common Samsung issue
Check this post... We've got a discussion on this going on...

Well, I finally received my home and car dock with the POGO pins. The audio is absolutely wonderful being routed out of the POGO. I had the Captivate and that doc through Sub-mini USB and the audio output was horrible, so this is great.
Here are my questions which I could use some help with.
1. What are the dock settings for in the settings menu? They are never active when docked or not.
2. How do I get my Nexus to default to full bright screen always on when docked without adding another docking app. I have always run into having multiple apps on for helping to get the right settings during dock and have the step on each other and ultimately things not getting reset properly when not docked. This seems that these two settings should be a setting in the std ICS settings.
3. While dialing the dialing screen pops over to portrait rather than landscaped like everything else while docked. It makes it hard to control the screen and read the screen.
I will continue to add items to share with everyone as we dockers become more prevalent.
You can use an app like tasker to change to a certain profile (brightness up) while docked. I am going to use NFC tags when I get my car dock.
Greetings.
I just received the Samsung Universal Multimedia Desktop dock for my Galaxy Nexus. While it does charge the phone, and the phone knows its been put into a dock, it refuses to switch the audio output though the dock connected speakers.
Ive even tryed downloading a program to automatically switch it, but it doesn't work either.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get the dock audio output to work?
[edit] Also, when i goto the sound settings, the Audio under Dock remainds disabled, even when docked, but the insert sound option works.
Thanks
Digging into it, i found another poster with the same issue on the google. His discription is more detailed than mine, and has the same problem. Reading though his, it seems to be an issue with the phone or OS and not the dock.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Verizon, i515) running stock 4.2.2. I also have a Samsung Galaxy Multimedia Dock (http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EDD-D200BEGSTA)
When I insert the Nexus into the dock, I want to use the Audio line out to run an external speaker. But that option doesn't seem to exist on the phone OS.
In earlier versions of Android (2.3 for instance), the documentation says when you insert the device into a dock, you have the option of enabling the audio on the line out port. (http://support.google.com/android/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=168598)
I have daydream enabled and daydream starts, so the device is aware it is docked. While docked, I go to settings - sound and look at the Dock settings (there are only two). Audio (grayed out) and Dock Insert Sound.
When I start some music, the sound plays from the Nexus internal speakers.
Is there a way to enable the audio to play out the line out port of this dock? The audio must be redirected to the audio line out through the Nexus USB charging connector.

Ok, if nobody knows a solution to this, does anyone know where i can obtain the Desktop Dock with Pogo Pins?
I really need a dock with audio out, and im pretty disappointed that the one i got doesn't work. I'd be nice to know if ti was because it was incompatible, or because the dock was bad.

Did you ever figure this out? I just bought 2 official Samsung docks that were advertised as working with the Nexus, and the phone doesn't switch to audio out for either. I have the same issue where it detects it is docked but doesn't enable the dock audio settings.
(I also, along with everyone apparently, really wish there were landscape pogo pin docks out there. But for the past 6 months I've looked I've never seen one, and they were _super_ expensive.)

Nope. I've been checking in on this thread every now and then hoping someone knows. It still doesnt work. Currently ive been plugging in the power and speakers separately, which works, but is annoying.
Still looking for answers on this. Anyone have any ideas on how to get this phone to work with the dock audio?
Thanks
I got 99 problems but my dock aint one (jk its a problem too)
I have the pogo pin dock for the galaxy nexus (I would post a link but I can't because I'm still a noob), and as of today my sound stopped channeling through the dock which is really annoying. I've had problems in the past with redirecting sounds through my headphones/speakers. Sometimes I'll be playing a song through the speakers and the phone will switch the audio output to the headphone jack (even though I didn't plug headphones in). Luckily a free app let me take care of that quite well, it's called SoundAbout. As of today I have tried the Pro version of SoundAbout and reinstalling the ROM, both to no avail. For some reason, my phone is not even recognized in the dock when it is turned on but the phone charges in the dock when it is powered off. Also, my computer has stopped recognizing the phone and shows it as an unknown USB device. When I installed the drivers for it, it said that the device has stopped responding and to replace the device.
Still cant get this to work. Don't know wtf is wrong. Feel like i wasted money on this docking station. :|
Hi, not sure if this will help but from my Galaxy S4, Settings, My Device, Accessory, there is an option "Audio output mode". Checking this option should allow you to use external speakers when in docked mode.

Sorry, Galaxy Nexus (aka stock android) has no such option that i could find. The only option related to the audio and the dock is under (for stock) Settings - > Sound -> Dock -> Audio, which for me remains greyed out, even when docked.
Anyone find a solution to this? Just picked up the dock for work and would like to take advantage of the sound out option.
I have the same problem with Galaxy S i9000 with CM11 and Samsung Desktop Dock - no audio output via dock. Any solutions?
Does G4 has car mode? Is there appropriate cable, car dock?
Also interested in knowing this.
I just got my Sprint G4 and Car Mode is working fine, including "home" going back to the car dock app. I'm using Car Dashboard for the app. I'm also using Bluetooth Car Mode to set the phone to car mode when it connects with my car.
It "just worked" for me... but I also did an LG Backup from my old G2 to the G4, and that transferred all this over to the G4.
There IS a car mode, but as far as I know, not launchable in the conventional sense. I use Tasker to activate car mode when I plug the phone into the car. You can also set it to car mode when connected to your car BT.
What does the car mode look like, or how could I try it out on my phone?
Nothing really - just an icon in the notification bar, and that screen brightness is at max. There's no Google Car Mode app or anything built in.
Can just add: when Car Mode is initiated, the call AutoAnswer becomes active and works without switching on Call auto answering in LG menu
I use Bluetooth Car Mode Starter to start car mode when the phone pairs with my car's bluetooth:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mohammadag.bluetoothcarmodestarter&hl=en
Prior to that, I used the Car Mode app to enable car mode manually:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.schwimmer.android.carmode&hl=en
(alternately, as mentioned about, you can use Tasker)
The Car Dock Settings app is helpful:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.cwfk.incar&hl=en
I've actually got the old Google Car Dock on my phone; I plucked the APK off my Galaxy Nexus and Google has moved it forward for me every phone I've had since. It's really ugly. As I said, I prefer "Car Dashboard".

I was trying to do exactly this. Do you know what activates car mode? I know I can use NFC but I was hoping to replicate a setup I had on my S4 where I plug into a dock and tasker detects it is in dock mode. If I recall on my Samsung S4 had to modify a USB cable for the S4 to detect this.
Cheers!

Within Tasker I can search for Car Mode, but I have no idea how to find and initiate merely from the phone.
