“Referencing the navigation comment”
Navigation to work or anywhere is actually a great idea now a days with the traffic alerts to avoid traffic jams and accidents.

Do it Linus. Make the NFC tag video before them just to piss them off.

Good day. Say I put the speaker information on a NFC tag with one phone. Can I use another phone to tap the NFC tag and connect to the speaker?

[SamsMediaCenter]

I have a S3 LTE and I have a genuine samsung car mount, I put an NFC tag on the back of the car mount and programmed it to turn off wifi, turn on gps, data, loudspeaker, etc on the first tap, and then on the second tap, when I take my phone out of my car, turn off gps, data, turn on wifi, turn off loudspeaker etc. However when I go over bumps or the road gets rough, the NFC thinks that I am tapping it again and switches to the options I want when I am out of my car. It works perfectly if you only drive on smooth highways, but I usually run into trouble 10-15 minutes into a trip, and have since given up on the idea. Now I just have the NFC tag mounted on my dash, not on my phone mount. =)
