Says Car Kit on phone but has never had a car kit hooked up to it

My 2 year old loves to play with my phone and I don't know what she did or how she did it but now my phone says car kit on the screen and I when I make or receive a call I can hear them but they can't hear me. I have tried removing the battery for several minutes, restoring default settings and making sure that Bluetooth is turned off (per verizons website) I have also called customer service and been told that I would have to take it in for service which I may or may not have to pay for. PLEASE HELP

A clarification on solution #1: Try pressing the tip of the knife (I used the end of a nail file) onto the lower right hand side of the charger area. That's what got it for me. If that doesn't work, try other parts of the end...

Use a can of compressed air on the data port at the bottom of your phone. It fixed mine in about a second and a half.

MY LG PHONE WAS IN THE CAR KIT MODE AND WAS CORRECTED BY TAKING A THIN KNIFE AND WIGGLING IT AROUND FOR A FEW MINUTES IN THE CHARGER PART WITH THE PHONE ON. sCREEN FLASSED CAR MODE WAS GONE THEN THE PHONE SHUT OFF - I "REBOOTED BY REMOVING THE BATTERY, THEN REPLACING IT INTO THE PHONE - RESTARTED THE PHONE AND CAR KIT MODE WAS GONE. HAD TO DO THIS A FEW TIMES - BECAREFUL NOT TO BEND THE CHARGER TEETH DOWN. I DID - THEN GOT BENT DOWN,I CAREFUL REPOSITION THEM (ADJUST THEM FLAT) SO CHARGE WILL PLUG INTO TEETH. WHILE IT WAS IN THE MODE I COULD NOT HEAR THE PHONE RING OR BUTTON TONES HOWEVER IT WOULD STILL TEXT AND RECIEVE TEXT AND INCOMING CALLS AND MAKE OUTGOING CALLS JUST NOONE COULD HEAR YOU OR ME.IT WORKS NOW !!!!
