Re: [MBZ] Hands free phone device question

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

That's the beauty of hands free, the ability to safely take calls while
driving.  Doesn't happen often, but getting mid-drive course corrections
from SWMBO do happen (eg. while driving home from work, please stop at
grocery store for bread, milk and toilet paper), and I'd much rather get
that call before I drive several miles past the grocery store and then have
to turn around and slog through heavy traffic to get back.

If I get into a call that starts to go too deep, I've got no problem
telling the other party to either wait until I am not driving or send me an
email or text and I'll respond when I'm not driving.

I'll rarely initiate a call while driving, unless I happen to be stopped at
a light or jammed up in traffic and not moving.

My favorite choice is just to not use my phone in the car. I've made it known 
that I don't take calls while driving and leave it at that. If something vital 
comes up I can pull over and talk. The nice thing about that policy is that it 
gives me an excellent excuse to get off the phone "hey, I'm on the side of the 
road here, I'll call you back from my destination."

Can't legally cover both ears in WA either.  The Blue Parrot headset really
does work well at noise-canceling (on Tx) in the car.  Callees, when asked,
say that they can hear me perfectly.

Parrot line.  I wanted a dual ear model.  So I got BH-M20 like this

Clean mic pickup with active noise filtering and lots of audio for

I made business calls all over creation on mine, and people I asked how 
it sounded could not believe I was not on a land line.  They are made to 
sound professional over the noise of OTR trucks.  And, they DO!


DON'T make business calls on a speakerphone.   We all wonder who all you 
have listening in.


I had an A$$hat boss in the 70s who only called on speaker.  I never 
trusted the SOB, and I was right.

This is what I used in my W210 with the leather covered mount:

https://tinyurl.com/yc8gl82w

I used double sided tape to anchor it to the flat surface of the mount.  It’s 
been there since last year and hasn’t shown any indication that it’s coming 
off.  It’s worked quite well and does exactly what I wanted it to do.  I have 
an iPhone in a case, so I didn’t want to add anything to the case just to make 
it compatible with my car mount.  This works perfectly and will pretty much fit 
anything.

Re: [MBZ] Hands free phone device question

[Dan--- via Mercedes]

I’m really picky about phone/iPod, etc., sort of mounts.  I want something that 
integrates with my car and isn’t some cheesy suction cup on the 
windshield/hanging from my AC vents sort of thing.

So I found a really nice, but not cheap, mount that is custom made for my car 
from these guys:

http://www2.kudausa.com/

It matches my interior leather and mounts right on to the side of the console, 
like it was a factory install.  As this is just a platform of sorts, I found an 
inexpensive claw or clamshell sort of holder that holds my phone in place while 
I drive.

The mount company has a presence on eBay, but if you want a specific color 
besides the basic colors they offer they have to create an auction for you.  
They do match Mercedes interior colors. Mine matches the gray leather on my 
console perfectly.

I can take a picture and post it later today if anyone wants to see what I’m 
talking about.

Dwight,

I'm very happy with my Scosche magnetic / suction cup mount. The mount uses
a suction cup to attach to the windshield, then I glued the thin steel
plate to the back of my phone's OtterBox case with Shoe Goo.  The plate on
the phone case is held to the mount by magnetic attraction.  I've tried
several other car mounts, this is the best by far.  Very fast to mount /
remove the phone, magnet is plenty strong to hold the phone in place on
rough roads, suction cup is holding up very well about three years after
purchase.

Bought mine at Wally World, Amazon also has them:

I liked the Scosche mount so much that I also bought their other cell phone
accessories like the cigarette lighter USB adapter and some charging
cables, and the quality really is very nice.

There are cell phone mounts which fasten to A/C vents, too.

Once you have the phone mounted, how do you expect to implement the
hands-free portion?

[MBZ] Hands free phone device question

[Dwight Giles via Mercedes]

RI has a hands free phone law going into effect at the end foo this month.
Any recommendations for mounting for my w211? How about the CD mounts type?
Or just suction on glass? Lots of choices.
Thanks,
