If I need to engage the phone, I pick it up from the console.
I have bluetooth to my radio and a head set. I would never want my phone mounted to the steering wheel.

On the other hand, if there was a battery powered attachment for the steering wheel enabling me to answer, hang up, mute the phone while talking via bluetooth, that would be helpful.

I appreciate your creativity, but that solution would not be one I would seek.

Thanks for sharing funola ! See your mascot is still nervous as a goldfish in a feeding frenzy.

Bingo! Ever since I had a cell phone, I've had it mounted somewhere as I always felt it unsafe to hold and operate the phone while driving. This is before all the laws regulating cell phone usage while driving came out. Over the years, I have gone through many iterations mounting it in different locations and this one with the wireless charging is the best for me so far. Your needs maybe different and I understand if you prefer a different location.

Do you know anyone who's gotten a ticket holding the phone talking while driving? My friend's girlfriend got one. All it takes is a cop to see you at a stop light or on the highway and pull you over. It's a matter of time before your turn comes up. I have no worry of that.

Well, clicking means either the touchscreen or the buttons. If you do not have it mounted, you are holding the phone in your hand. If a cop sees you, you can be ticketed.
