WIll this dock automatically launch a car home app when the phone is docked?

No, it pretty much just holds the phone. I do have the Tec Tiles for the Galaxy S3 and have one stuck to the inside of my dock and it will open anything I have it programmed for.

No, but if you grab an NFC tag you could program it to launch an app and stick it to the dock to reproduce this functionality :).

NO, but there's a few apps available that can determine your location and set specific options. Locale, Tasker and Setting Profile are some that come to mind.

No, its just a dock to hold your phone. Works well though. It hasn't fallen off my window once. Very good product.

Yes it charges while docked. You plug the vehicle charger into the dock and then stick the phone in the dock.

With default settings on my phone putting it into the car dock does not open car mode. However I have not messed with any phone settings as far as car mode goes.

Yes. I purchased this for my wife, since her work car doesn't have the homelink. It was very easy to set up and works great. And she doesn't misplace it, unless she misplaces her keys. HMMMM!

I'm sure the docking connector won't work, but you could plug a male-to-male stereo cable from the phone to the Aux input. The remote would only do on-off and volume.

My wife's Droid2 goes into Car Mode when I attach it to the docking station. My Droid X (on the Droid X docking station) goes into the alarm clock mode automatically. Do I need to download an app for the Droid 2?

I would think so. When you plug your phone into the lap dock your phone screen appears on the dock screen. The lap dock keyboard then has control of the phone.

Forgot to mention, this adapter works with the home dock. The vehicle dock appears to use a different connector.

Yes, it automatically turns off and on when you leave and enter your vehicle. Not sure how it knows how to turn. About 50% I have to mess with it (e.g. turn on and off the switch, reconnect my phone, plug it in to the charger, ask nicely) to have it turn on and connect with my phone. I'm beginning to lose my faith in the product. Great idea but definitely buggy when it comes to automatically connecting to your smartphone.

Only if it is set up that way in your phone. It doesn't do it automatically.

It will reconnect automatically. This model will also start playing your music when you get back in the car without you having to start it again.

No. It does not. It has Hi and Low settings with an auto off when returning to cradle.

No. Unfortunately the dock connector cable is permanently attached. I tried one of the converters to try to attach my iPhone 5 and the phone would not charge. So far, I have not been successful finding any kind of lightning equivalent. Too bad because the autopilot worked so well with my iPhone 4. HTH, Jeff

I believe it was advertised as having this feature, but it doesn't seem to work that way. It does reconnect with your phone automatically when you re-enter the car if you leave it on, but it wore the battery down the one time I left it on for more than a day. Also, if I park the car in the garage, the BlueAnt answers incoming calls in the car when I and the phone are in the house and if I try to make a call from inside the house the outgoing call goes through the BlueAnt, so I have to turn it off manually when I am at home.

When you insert RAZR M, car dock automatically turns on and so does navigation smart action. You could probably shut them off or work around them. Not sure if you could permanently modify phone's reaction.

As far as I know there isn't any way to get this dock to trigger "dock mode".

The Dock software is built into the Droid, and will activate once you set your unit in the cradle. Options to do an automatic clock and calendar.....local weather, or just charge if you just need juice!
