Nexus One Car Dock Gives your Phone a mind of its own

Just a quick update from my review yesterday of the Google Nexus One Card Dock.

It appears there is a software glitch somewhere in the Nexus One that causes weird things to happen when the phone is unplugged form the Nexus One Card Dock.  People have reported sound being muted and applications starting on their own.

I read something related to this yesterday and then when I arrived at work this morning and turned off the ignition in my car with my phone still docked in the Nexus One Car Dock, my music started playing all on it’s own.  I went into the music application and then into Now Playing and the screen showed nothing was playing.  I had to start a song playing and then stop it to stop the song that had started automatically.

I am running a rooted phone with Enomther’s TheOfficial N1 v1.8.1 and I know that people will immediately jump on the “Blame the ROM” bandwagon, but I’m not convinced.

Anybody else having any issues with the Nexus One Car Dock, or any other Dock for the Nexus one?

UPDATE: People are reporting the same issues on the Nexus One Desktop Dock and also when removing the Headset from the 3.5mm socket on the top of the phone.

So it would appear that there is yet another issues to add to the growing list of issues with the Google Nexus One. Come on Google, why are all these problems known about in the community yet no fixes or comments are coming from Google?
