Abstract
The vehicle electronic mobile device system includes an executable software program configured to lock down the tactile input of the electronic mobile device when the electronic mobile device is paired and the vehicle is in a vehicle operating condition. The vehicle electronic mobile device system includes a hands-free system. The executable software program is further configured to allow other functions of the electronic mobile device remain operative and incoming texts and phone calls are pushed through the hands-free system. Responses to the incoming texts and phone calls are transmitted from the driver to the electronic mobile device through the hands-free system. Accordingly, the vehicle electronic mobile device system discourages users from handling the electronic mobile device but allows the driver to maintain communications through the electronic mobile device by utilizing the hands-free system.
