Does it activate car dock mode?

Gonna be honest I dislike this holder because it hits my volume key and hard to use with my case. Also The car mode doesn't trigger when I put mine in until I start moving

No, it doesn't activate Car Dock mode. And so far from what I have found and read the Maxx does not have a "Car Dock Mode" like the Razr Maxx and others did. What it has is "Assist" which has a couple of basic settings for Driving, Meeting and Sleeping. When I have my phone connect to Bluetooth in my car it goes into the Assist driving mode which allows it to read texts to you and tell you who is calling you, as well as automatically start playing music. I miss the traditional "Car Mode" of my Razr Maxx but I have to say with the great voice control of this phone there isn't much you can't just tell it to do (Open Maps, Go To _____App, etc) instead of pushing a screen icon in the old Car Mode setup. Hope this helps. No, it doesn't activate Car Dock mode. And so far from what I have found and read the Maxx does not have a "Car Dock Mode" like the Razr Maxx and others did.

Nope. it just basically hold your phone. But its the best one that I have found out there and it's really simple and easy.

No, the mount does not activate car dock mode. The mount just essentially clamps onto the phone with no integrated micro USB connector. It is a "universal" mount so it would fit a wide range of phones.

Yes it does! It works better than any other Bluetooth car device I have had in the past. It paired right up with my iPhone, and speaks aloud when I go to make a call by simply pressing the OnStar button and saying CALL xxx-xxx-xxxx. It then says aloud, calling xxx-xxx-xxxx on your iPhone. Remarkable device for the price, and you also get directions and emergency assistance.

Not that I'm aware of. I was under the impression it was manual select to begin with but it's not it automatically goes to the device that's on.

It automatically goes to the car mode but you can exit the car mode app and use it as normal. I tried rotating it and portrait mode works after you exit the car mode. I think the functionality has changed since the 4.1 update since I remember being able to choose whether to enter car mode when you plug in and I also had the option to exit car mode before the update. You no longer have the option to exit car mode, clicking the notification just takes you back to the car mode app.

The cable that comes with the D160 activates the Car app. If you have substituted another microUSB cable, Car app will not launch.

It won't activate car mode on the moto x. The Moto x does have a car mode but it only works with the griffin car dock made for it. If you have a car app, it will launch with the Griffen dock.

NO, when you start your car, the device is powered on THEN it will connect to your BlueTooth automatically. To play your music, you have to press the "play" button on the BlueTooth or on your music device.

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

That is what it does. It was sold to me as a universal remote, but it does not do anything but change channels, turn the radio on , not the dock. Will not change volume.

Mine sometimes goes into dock mode, but mostly does not. It has started to charge, but only if I have the second battery in it.

Dock uses a USB connection an can be used in any vehicle with that capability

Yes. It turns on and automatically connects to the phone when you start your car.

Yes. There's an auxiliary output on the radio dock. The vehicle kit comes with auxiliary cable so you don't need to buy one.

It does ..when you connect it to the car, you still have to hit the button between the connection.

If your USB port on the phone is broke, it will hold the phone but the Car Mode won't be triggered. It takes both the base to be plugged in and the phone installed to trigger the Car Mode

I think I am confident that it does not put the phone in dock mode. I do not have a dock mode on my phone.

Yes. I have mine in my center console and I never touch it. I just get into the car, turn it on, and it's connected. I don't even think there is a button to manually turn it on or off.
