Hey everyone...

I've had my 06 a little over a year now, and they have enacted the distracted driving laws in Alberta so I need to do something about a hands free unit in my truck. If I'm driving to/from work on an on-call call out, I often will get calls with updates along the way, or hopefully a call stating they have sorted it out, go home...

Anyhow, I've been looking at the bluetooth handsfree units for a while now, and I'm wondering what everyone here uses. I'm interested in a speaker phone that works... I'd prefer hardwire instead of battery as our winters are very hard on them. I had a blue-ant unit about 5 years ago and the battery wouldn't last overnight in the truck...

Anyhow, what are everyone's thoughts?

 

I use the bluetooth on my garmin. Speaker in the unit not bad or you can have it come through the radio.

 

You know I completely forgot about that. I gotta rearrange my dash to move it so I can reach it, but that might work.

 

So, I tried the blue tooth in the Magellan, and it just wasn't that useful. The damned thing would disconnect/reconnect every 2-5 minutes, driving me insane.

I bought a BlueAnt S4 and it seems to work very well! Sound is excellent, and the other person can hear me clearly. I have it mounted on my visor so it's out of the way. It can be completely handsfree, or single touch so it meets the Alberta DDL requirements.

Highly recomended.
