I never initiate phone calls or text messaging while the vehicle is moving, preferring to pull off the road into a parking lot or just wait until I arrive at my destination. If I get a phone call I can answer with the pressing of a button on the steering wheel, but I seldom get phone calls so it usually isn't an issue.
As for as FM radio--it sucks in my area. Every time I get in the car they have a string of commercials on which only end moments before I reach my destination. FM is much worse than TV as far as commercials. That, and DJs who talk constantly, even during songs. FM is totally useless in my area. Plenty of stations, but none worth tuning to.

I assume I could play borrowed audiobooks on the phone's Overdrive app and pair it to the car but I've never gotten around to trying that...

I have a new Outback and it's loaded with numerous ports, BT, steering wheel controls, and a large display; but I don't bother with any of it. So far, FM's more than enough for me
At some point I might take advantage of the tech.
