Help EVO "Car Panel" Problem

[borniblue]

I recently got a new car dock (Seidio). I am having a problem with my Evo going into car panel mode. I checked the settings under "dock" and noticed that the "display mode" option is blacked out and I can't adjust it. It is set to automatic. I also selected "auto-launch" and it will not start once I put it into the dock. Any suggestions to "force start" Car Panel? I have not been able to get the phone into car panel period in or out of the dock.
