but my phone microphone can be used during a call with car audio

Why don't you stick your phone in your pocket or a cupholder and then make that phone call.

it's mounted on the dash

you're really not getting the whole "car speakers, phone microphone" setup, are you

in which places is a dash-mounted phone illegal?

[–] lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

New York and California, to name a few.

But that's beside the point. YOU are allowed to use YOUR phone microphone if YOU want. And in that same vein, OTHERS are allowed to use THEIR built-in hands-free systems. You don't have to like it. But acting like a gatekeeper and soapboxing over it is just weird.
