Perhaps carmode application should be installed first followed by carmode-backend, but should be interested if anyone has success.
Well, I installed carmode-backend first, and I just found a carmode deb and installed that.

I now have a 'Car mode' application icon, and I started that, and it seems to behave as expected, at a glance, and I haven't noticed any disappearing icons or unusual behavior yet.

I haven't tried actually using this in my car yet, but I'll post another update when I get a chance, probably in a few days, since I don't have access to my car for a bit.
