My wife listens to Bob and Tom on the way to work.
It is not broadcast here so she pulls it off the web.
It bluetooths from the phone.
Everything is hands free on the phone if you do take a call.
I think if we were interested in things to do entertainment-wise while
in the car, I'd get an iPad Air and a dash mount. You can even make
phone calls from an iPad using one of several apps, such as Skype. But
we don't often spend more than an hour or two in the car.
I don't think she was interested in duct taping some other piece of
hardware to the dash and having cables running around.
There is something to be said about a clean factory installed unit.
I'm sure among the next iterations will be a blue tooth connect to the
car speakers. And there are some nice looking mounts I've seen that help
avoid the duct tape look. Not anything that concerns us, though, since
we aren't much into in-car entertainment or calls to or from the driver.
I don't even listen to the radio when driving. I find it distracting.
Someone in my family gave me a Sirius receiver back when I was making
the long drives back and forth to Florida. I think I used it once for
about an hour before shutting it off and never bothered with it again.
The very rare times that I drive any distance I much prefer to watch the
scenery or what's happening around the vehicle. Weird, but that's the
way it is.
