Modern cars are computers on wheels that send home nonstop telemetry about you. In this post I remove my 2024 RAV4 Hybrid's modem and GPS to prevent that :)

          Yes, and many regions currently ban any phone usage while driving, including taking phone calls. A hands-free system makes this task much easier.

              Why don’t you stick your phone in your pocket or a cupholder and then make that phone call.

                it’s mounted on the dash

                you’re really not getting the whole “car speakers, phone microphone” setup, are you

                  Not legal in several areas.
