Thought I was able to phone without having to use the information screen.When I wasn't able to phoned Larry. He set me straight pointing out that without a cell phone the Blue Tooth option wouldn't work, so my only avenue was to use the on board screen approach or to get a cell phone. Larry ,had me drop around within a few minutes of my phone call & was most kind. very pleasant, ,considerate and helpfull and that was that, John Goodfellow
