Car kit on display screen

I have a v cast LG Verizon cell phone and my display screen has the words "car kit" on it. I can't make out going calls nor can I get incoming calls. How do I get it off?

    I just read how another guy said to turn off the phone and use something to touch the little prongs on the bottom of the phone ( where you would plug in the charger). I used a small pair of scissors and much to my amazement.....it worked. When I turned my phone on, it started back- good as new.... and Verizon said it couldn't be fixed. Ha! hope this also helps someone else. Good luck!

    had the same issue, unable to find anything in directions or on phone, may have gotten literally a drop of water on the charger connector. Plugged phone into wall charger and car kit message went away. woo hoo

    My VX8300 was stuck in "Car Kit" mode. I read the solutions here and I can't believe it, the solution by blowing compressed air into the charging connection worked!!!!!!!!! Thanks,

    Same problem - Tried the compressed air on the battery prongs and the plug-in prongs. Still saying "Car Kit" :(

It's actually something wrong with your phone. The connector on the bottom of the phone may have gotten wet. If you are comfortable taking the phone apart you can clean the connector w/ 99.5% isopropyl alcohol and a soft bristled brush. Good luck.

What I did was to take the car charger and plug and unplug from phone. This cleaned the bottom contacts and the phone no longer has the car kit on screen and works well again.

I turned off the phone, plugged it into my wall charger, unlpugged it, and turned it back on. It worked fine after that.

I also cleaned the charger connector with a small thin flat screw driver and it worked
