Hands Free Phone Holder?
Mass law goes into effect on 2/23/20. First offence is $100...… So I need to comply, as I do use my phone while driving.
So what do you use? Pics? Pros Cons. I need for a Tahoe and Express 3500.
Thank you

Thanks, Joe. Ordered one to try, even though is more than I wanted to spend. But, you get what you pay for, and you have actually used one, so...

I like the cradle style ones for the truck. The magnets on the other ones have let go when I hit big bumps. Granted my truck is set up with a pretty stiff suspension, prob not an issue in cars/suvs

PSA in case you were oblivious as I was...
The “hands-free” law is effective as of February 23, 2020.
Penalty for violating the hands-free law:
1st offense – $100 fine.
2nd offense – $250 fine, plus mandatory completion of a distracted driving educational program.
3rd and subsequent offenses – $500 fine, plus insurance surcharge and mandatory completion of distracted driving educational program.

I bought on from Walmart. Been using for 3 years It clips to the dashboard heater vents. works perfectly. Think it was about $25.
Our Subarus hook the phone up to the cars info system. So I only use this in the Silverado as it's old and doesn't know #^&#^&#^&#^& about phone.

I just put my phone on silent when driving or at the gym.
Gotta have a few places where people can leave me alone.
How the hell did we ever function without staring at our hand all the time ?

May fortune favor the foolish....

The used 2014 Silverado Z71 I picked up three years ago is all set up to answer or ignore calls and make calls from the controls on the steering wheel, although most incoming calls nowadays are robo or spam.

My Silverado has apple play, so I just plug the phone into the USB port on my truck and I can control it from the built-in screen and/or the steering wheel buttons.

Just have to set up the Bluetooth in the Tahoe. |

Given today is the day to go hands-free I bought 2 Kenu brand holders via Amazon yesterday. They clip to the air vents. Clipped, inserted phone and watched it drop to the floor... such poor quality.
