Well i was late to my job and was driving cornering fast and generally driving pretty hard to make it to my job in time.
I took a few wrong turns and got lost so I decided to ring the client to get directions.
but wait!!!
where has my phone gone????? after 15 minutes looking for it, trying to figure out if i even brought it or I left it at home.
I find it jammed in the air vent under the passenger seat!!! 20 minutes of trying to get it out I gave up and eventually found the clients address.
SO i was about 40 minutes late.
I had to take it to my mechanic who took abuot 10 mins with various different bendy pipes to get it out...
and to top it off my girlfriend wasn't happy i was not answering her calls!!! |  |  | | 12-12-2005, 07:30 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Cola. SC Posts: 344 |

lol ... who knew the devastating consequences driving around fast could have! that's why i normally leave my phone in one of my pockets (when i have a coat on) or drop it in the driver's door pocket or one of the cupholders. at least you found it! __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles

I heard a similar story on CArTAlk and BF.c. Do these vents heat the back seat floor? __________________

I normally leave my phone on it's clip and hang it off of the sun visor.
Next time this happens stop your car on a steep hill then floor it and it should come right out. __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active

man, i've never heard of that before. I usually keep mine in the cup holder or that little space behind them. When I had a Jeep I'd put the clip on the footman loop on the top middle of the windshield frame and that worked really well...it also served as a dome light too | | | | | 12-12-2005, 10:51 PM | #10 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: state college, pa Posts: 3,431 |

I try not to use it at all when I'm driving, but it has speakerphone and works rather well this way. I'm looking into adding a comm system, to route the CB and phone into a bluetooth headset or throat mic. Yeah, I'm a nerd.  __________________

Yeah, I'm a nerd. | i don't want any indentations on my sun visor so i don't put anything there, not even the garage door opener  let me know what you find on an integrated comm system because i'm interested as well. unfortunately, i haven't heard good things about bluetooth headsets. __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles
