i purchased the Air Dock 2 and it has an NFC chip in it which did bring up my NFC icon when i touched but how do i utilize it? i only see pay options in Settings.

what i would like is to have the dock activate this Dock and Drive app when its placed on NFC tagged dock.

i did see "nfc trigger" apps in Play but so many and dont like just installing any app and not sure its needed?

thanks for any help

Try this. Step-by-step configuration and ability to write NFC tag.
Unfotunately, in my case, AirDock with charger power ON blocked NFC. Maybe you will be more lucky with it.

so with a 10 minutes test i found 2 things:

1. the position of the NFC and the Wireless charging (at least with my ultraslim case) is particular to how the Air Dock is positioned so when i found the sweet spot for both i locked it so that my phone works perfectly in landscape mode which is how i want it when driving. if you test NFC response and charge connection by taking it on and off a bunch you will see what i mean and i found it easier to test in portrait mode and then turn the dock and lock it to be same but landscape. hope that made sense

2. i did see a charging issue but i did not spend much time seeing if i could figure it out and decided to test a BT connection to my truck radio as the trigger versus the NFC and that seemed to work perfectly

will test more and report when i get a chance
