Thumbs up

Is obligatory in the USA?

In Spain it?s prohibited to drive while you speak by the phone.

But in the film "Transporter 2", the starring don?t use it.

It is up to a city or state to regulate or ban cell-phones while driving. There is no such law on a national level (and I hope there never is).

Looks difficult to remember all these different rules ,
Does your Navigation system show what regulation is in effect at the place you're driving ?
Would be a great support !!!

In DC, near where I live you must be on a headset or some kind of handsfree system. In VA and MD though, you can have the handset to your ear. I think NYC requires the use of a headset as well.

All of New York State requires handsfree operation. I went in for my BTUM install today. They have kept it overnight so that they could do a "Big" download/upgrade of the software. Not sure what version I'll end up with, but they initally told me it was only going to take a 4 hour download. Who knows? Maybe I'll even be MP3 ready....whatever that means.

Cheers,
