When my CD player in my 2005 Focus quit, I ended up buying the absolute cheapest Bluetooth deck I could find. Came in at under $50 with all brackets needed for mounting. The bluetooth audio functions excellent but the handsfree microphone makes me sound like Bane breathing through a crab…
just gives me an excuse not to answer! Been debating buying one of the vent clips to mount my phone on the dash, but I’m to the point where I don’t really care if I have access to my phone while driving.

my daily driver is a 2004 camry so it doesn’t have fancy technology. using a tape with with auxiliary cable attached i can talk through the speakers on my car and it works very well. the product cost me $6That’s a steal of a deal, you can prolly hook up your discman up to that beauty too! That made many a road trip a lot sweeter until all vehicles had CD players, and now the new vehicles don’t even have CD players!
I miss my old tape player hookup. They worked great! Had one in the ’93 rear-wheel Ranger 5 speed. Now I drive an ’07 with CD — too new for a tape player but too old for an AUX hookup. The good ol’ reverse Goldilocks…
Are we talking 8 track tape player? Or not quite that old?
“catch me if you can.”
You don’t get it. The act of pushing buttons is a factor of distracted driving it also has been proven the act of talking on the phone is just as big of a distraction as pushing buttons. It’s the new culture of things but it so similar of the past. It’s about oneself and damm the rest.
My heart bleeds from what I have lost does this make me a bleeding heart?
It is more than a small problem. I install edge drain on blacktop roads that are under traffic control with sign people. As traffic goes buy I can look down into the cars. Easily 70 percent are texting. Another 10 percent talking. Not to mention the dude with no pants. Have had cars drive through the control signers. Had cars total three board barricades. Had a truck plow through the barricades and bury himself in the rock pile behind. All of them were texting or talking on the phone.
If it was truly about stopping distracted driving, which I totally agree with and already comply with……I hope it applies to all….. including police. Nobody can argue that it is less distracting for one group and not distracting for another. Pull over and yakk.
I’ve also seen so many CDL drivers lately on their handheld phones, talking away. This has already been illegal for years but laws don’t stop the offenses. We’re all just going to be labeled criminals in the end, Doh!
Self policing and understand the fact the world does not revolve around oneself. Care about the guy next to you on the road not about your girl friend or wife that’s so insecure that she needs constant connection, goes both directions.
