    That's what I like most about it too. Love not having to switch screens to stop the music when a call comes in. One thing: I didn't find the installation super intuitive. Probably some room to improve that experience By the way I see great

    Wow, I am the worst offender in terms of driving and texting. Pretty scary (and stupid on the part of those of us who do text and drive) since according to Wikipedia, "the risk of crashing while texting /driving increases by 23 times, becau
