*I prefer the non-nav radio in this car ( however I wish I could get bluetooth without it)
*The phone is a Samsung Epic. It has been more then a YEAR since it's release and samsung has released CRAPPY OS after crappy OS for this phone.
*CM7 finally became available for this phone recently and made it a TOTALLY new experience in a positive way but the car dock function didn't work.
*Someone out there fixed it via a software update FOR FREE. It amazes me how people out there will make something work for free, in the name of "good will"

I had to remove the cig ashtray cover in order to make it work, but my main thing behind this is that I use my phone as my media hub central.

It has:

-Google music, which is linked to my home theater pc library (1000's of songs)
-Sirius (via their app)
-Slacker Radio (free, considering paying for it now that this dock works)
-Stitcher ( listen to a show called "Nick and Artie" on it, plus 100's of radio pod casts)



Anyway onto the pics!

Looks nice. Whatd you download for the ICS theme. I like the status bar, touchwiz is boring.

Im not sure what version of touchwiz the original galaxy s is running, but Im picking up the galaxy s2 tomorrow and its running touchwiz 4.0 which is much improved

Looks good, that's where I put my phone (T-Mobile G2) while on Navigation mode or when streaming music via bluetooth.

Touchwiz 4.0 is on my Epic Touch and its still kinda blah so I downloaded Go Laucher.

That is so much more convenient then putting your phone in the cup holder, I like it.

Thats what Im running right now on my Evo Shift. The sense UI is really bland to me, plus my shift keeps lagging like crazy so Im going with the galaxy s2 instead

Btw, has anyone tried incorporating some sort of phone mount in the "hidden compartment" on the front of the dash? Looks like a good spot for using your phones GPS since its in the middle of your line of sight

Ok, to answer a few questions:

The phone it self has no touch wiz on it....or any trace of samsung's software. It was built from the ground up by this awesome group named Cyanogen

Here's a link to where you get it

Here's some videos on how to install

Once you have CM7 installed, the Ice cream sandwich themes are available in the market.

I'll get a picture of it without being in the dock later today...

So far so good.. I did have to put a few pieces of electrical tape on the bottom right of the dock so that it'd stop turning the volume down on me.

ha! I was looking for a post i had seen a while back about what to do with your ashtray area and wanted to post what i had just done and stumbled upon this. J3ffrey you and I are on the same wavelength! i swear i didnt see this before I posted on here. looks great J3ffrey!







I had to disassemble the sliding tray concealing the ashtray and lighter. I detached the plug and relocated beneath the tray and plugged in under the tray to feed power to the dock. Now, I have power to recharge my phone on the dock and obviously bluetooth audio through my OEM system. It works well.
