Dave, I can't argue with you about messages and phone calls being a distraction. But my 2016 Vegas doesn't have a built in GPS so I use my iPhone and the CoPilot app. So my phone is sitting on the dash all the time when we are traveling. Given that it made sense to get the Smart phone version of TireMinder. That also will mean that I don't have a second device on my dash, cluttering things up and maybe being a nuisance.
Everybody has their own situation and solutions. There's rarely a one size fits all solution.
Just out of curiosity, is your phone an Apple or an Android? I don't recall the last time I had a Bluetooth drop-out.
