Thanks, I will check it outI have no experience with these and I'd rather keep one in my jacket or other non-exposed location.. but, it's an option and I don't know if the holes will line up for an ST1300.

My cell phone mount? My pocket, turned OFF! Who wants to be bothered while riding?
WHATEVER dduelin matey what ever does it for you buddy. You got it on ring back too....lol..I place the phone on vibrate and put it in an inside pocket where I can feel in vibrate against me when the call comes in.
Ray,I used to think the same thing. When I got the Autocom installed, I looked at the provided cable, I looked at my cell phone. Oh what the heck, I like to tinker and have few minutes to play, let's see if this works?
It has proven fantastic to be able to take calls when riding. On several occasions other riders that I am meeting up with several hours away have been able to call me to find out where I am, if I'm running late, early, whatever. It makes coordination easy. There have been a couple rides where we got separated, beyond the range of the 2-way radio. No problem, no need to stop and wait or pull off to answer the (missed) call.
Why would anyone not want to take a call from a family member? It might be very important.
My general rule is to not give my cell phone number to anyone I would rather not hear from. That resolves the issue of getting unwanted calls when riding.

Different phones behave differently. My old LG VX8100 worked really good. I just leave the AUTO ANSWER on all the time. It only auto answers if the cable is plugged in. If it is set to auto answer AND in vibrate mode (hold the * key), it will ring in my helmet and answer in a couple rings.Do you plug the phone in and set it to "auto answer"? Does the phone have to be accessible(sp?), or can I leave it in my pocket?
I agree with you 100%, however those same surveys will also show that adjusting the dash controls (i.e. radios, climate controls, putting in a cd, playing with the GPS, talking on the Autocom, plus many others ) all distract from the task of driving. Be safe!You can do whatever you want, but for myself, I hate cel phone cagers and their non-existent attention.
Since several surveys have concluded that driving under the influence of a cel phone yields the same accident rate as driving under the influence of alcohol, I won't, under any circumstances, jeopordize lives by using the cel on the bike. In my cage I give the phone to SWAMBO or find a place to park.

I have a friend with Bluetooth and he takes calls and makes calls from the bike. I don't agree with this, distracted cagers are bad enough. It takes too much effort to ride safely in traffic on a bike much less talking on a phone. Might as well toss back a few beers as well and leave the helmet at home.
