Hard to hear cellphone in Seneca cockpit

[Mr Bill]

Any thoughts on reducing noise in the driver's area of my Seneca so I can actually have a conversation on my smartphone while driving down the road? I don't want to go to a wireless headset except as a last resort. Thanks in advance, everyone! Stay safe out there.

Really???? We use the hands free Microphone and speakers that are built into our Seneca InfoTainment System connected to our phones via Bluetooth. I have participated in hours-long conference calls while driving across the United States and had no issues.

Our system is bone-stock! Using the Jensen JRV215n unit installed in our dash.

The only time our noise level jumps to a point where it is distracting - is when the Driveline Fan kicks in to cool - on hot days while climbing mountain passes, but Verizon and T-mobile both will drop the call due to no-service when that happens.

That's good to know as I'm looking to take this WFH workstyle to the next [mobile] level in our Seneca. Not having a centralized office environment is a game changer (assuming AT&T is cooperative).

Stacy and I have been traveling the country while working full time. We take the approach of "travel days" on the weekends every-other week while we work M-F in our Seneca. I installed a double monitor setup for Stacy at the dinette that folds back for dining. I built a stand-up desk out of the front bunk and use the swing-out TV and my laptop for my desk.

For Internet anywhere we go - we use an outdoor directional LTE router that far exceeds any cell-booster capabilities. That LTE router brings in public internet to a Router inside the Seneca that provides wi-fi and wired CAT-5 network connections to our computers, printer, NVR and Dish-Network box.

Each day after work, we jump in the FJ and explore the areas around us, get groceries and supplies and have one weekend to go and do/see something unique to the place we are at (sometimes that could be just going fishing in the local lake)

We keep both of our employers in the loop on where we are and where we are headed... as long as we have good internet and stay connected - they have been very supportive of our enhanced work-from-motorhome program.
