******Watch Video demo for optimal use of this app*************
The “Dock’n Drive” application will change the way Android Smartphones are used while driving. 30 tiles can be set as short-cuts to frequently used apps, favorite contacts etc. In full screen mode a gorgeous digital speedometer, an innovative “compass ring”, media play buttons optimized for Pandora, Spotify, TuneIn, Slacker etc. and current weather data are seen.
The “Dock’n Drive” application can be set to automatically launch and install as your new “dock home screen”. When inserting the HTC* or Samsung* handset into an iBOLT Dock Bluetooth is turned on, Wi-Fi turned off and screen time-out is disabled. (Leave "GPS" always on as it does NOT drain battery).
GPS and cell phone reception is optimized with the Smartphone positioned above the dashboard line. A Bluetooth hands-free solution is necessary when using the Dock’n Drive app.
