| Description of the problem | The honda hands free system is very dangerous. You say a voice command, then squint at the dash screen to see what it says. It may take 20 commands and 20 times you have to read the screen to get to the person you want to call. It requires me to take my eyes off the road 20 times. It is much worse than holding the phone. With a clip-on the visor hands free adaptor, all i had to do was say the name, and it would call. I have written honda about this but they haven't responded. There should be some kind of inspection or approval for these hands-free devices. |
