Well i just bought the xprodoc something which was like 40 some dollars tax included. It is a great doc don't get me wrong. It is nice and sturdy minimal almost no vibration and since i have an android device the USB cable and the NFC are great. But the problem is that the app does not work properly when i try to use the NFC the app does not open i get a message saying that something went wrong with opening the app. I just hope that this could be fixed.

I have a galaxy note 2 and noticed that with the Dock n drive I had to manually activate it. So I downloaded this and will see if this works automatically. If so I'll give it that final valuable star. One more question; will I need to change any settings?

One of the best thought out apps I have downloaded. If you like having your phone docked while driving - screen unlocked and listening to your music through your car audio system and having hands free mode, get this app with its companion dock n drive, even if your phone has docking through the micro USB. This is better and uses very little power.

My phone updated to the newest Android version this morning and now this app won't work. Please fix so it will work with Android 5.0.2

About this app

IBOLT DOCKMODE IS ONLY NEEDED IF YOU HAVEN'T GOT AN ACTIVE CAR DOCK LIKE THE XPRODOCK.


***** Please take a look at our video to see how this application is working *****

“iBOLT DockMode” offers an easy way to set the "iBOLT Dock'n Drive" application as the "home screen" when driving. With DockMode turned to "on" the user can just press the home button after using a GPS Navigation or Music App (for example) and the screen will switch back to the easy-to-use "iBOLT Dock'n Drive" interface.

NOTE: "Deskhome Display" MUST be selected under "Settings-Accessory" on Samsung Galaxy phones for the Dock Mode to work.

The "DockMode" is built for Android devices that do not allow "DockMode" triggering via the microUSB cable. Examples are Nexus 4/5, LG G2 and Sony Xperia devices. For HTC and Samsung Galaxy handsets we recommend buying an iBOLT "active car-dock" that includes microUSB charging cable with integrated "DockMode".

Together with our “iBOLT Dock’n Drive” app you’ll have the perfect driving experience. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ibolt.carhome) (Requires version 2.2.2 or higher of Dock'n Drive)

NOTE: This application is only enabling and disabling the Android build-in car mode. The functionality is depending on your device firmware. Not all firmwares are supporting this virtual dock mode. Usually all firmwares running Android Jelly Bean 4.3 and higher should support the virtual dock mode. Some lower Android versions are also working fine depending on your device.

HOW TO USE THIS APP?

On Samsung devices please make sure you got the following option activated:

“Settings” > (“My device”) > “Accessory” > “Desk home screen display”

1st step:
Download this additional app “iBOLT DockMode”

2nd step:

Please make sure you’ve got “iBOLT Dock’n Drive” installed on your device. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ibolt.carhome)

3rd step:
Run “iBOLT DockMode” by pressing on the icon either in your app drawer or on your home screen (you have to add it manually to your home screen). You will be prompted to select your default dock application. Select “iBOLT Dock’n Drive” and confirm with “always”.


Now you should notice a steering wheel icon in the notification bar and “iBOLT Dock’n Drive” should be running. All functions of “iBOLT Dock’n Drive” including the support for the home button should be now working.

HOW TO END THE VIRTUAL DOCK MODE?

Either pull down the notification bar and select “Car mode enabled – Touch to exit car mode” or again press on the “iBOLT DockMode” icon.


NOTE:

You can set “iBOLT DockMode” on your “iBOLT Dock’n Drive” home screen as a shortcut for easy access. (Select “Set shortcut” > “Applications” > “iBOLT DockMode” in “iBOLT Dock’n Drive”)
