Hi,

Somehow my phone set itself to Car Kit mode. I don't see where I can remove it. Can someone help please??

It basically prevents the phone from doing anything a phone is supposed to do such as ringing/vibrating when calls or texts come in and when I call or pick up when I happen to see that someone's calling, I can't hear anything.

Very frustrating. Please help.

Mike

Your phone most likely got wet and you will not be able to remove "Car Kit". Take it to a corporate store and have them check it out.

You can check it out for yourself by inspecting the charging port and looking for green buildup or other damage to the contacts or port itself. If there is any evidence of this, you will need to replace the phone.

The inability to turn off the Car Kit mode on your LG handset is a sign that the phone was exposed to and damaged by liquid.
There is a suggestion similar to the one listed in the one above on this site for you to try. LG VX6000 constant Car Kit mode - LG Talk Forum - Mobiledia
There are some pins in your 5200's charger connector port that you could try to short out in order to turn the Car Kit off. Using a small screw driver or other small sharp object, touch a few of the pins on the far right side of the charging port. After doing this a few times, the Car Kit mode should turn off for you. If not, bring it into a Verizon Service center and have a trained technician inspect the handset for you, as Paulcman as said above.
