<DIV>That might work. I know that at least on the 2012 Cruz the phone
button on the steering wheel and the phone button on the instrument panel don’t
act exactly the same. My cell phone is usually unreachable in my
pocket. But if it is out and accessible I can initiate a call with the
cell phone then talk through the bluetooth. My wife has found that she can
use google maps turn-by-turn instructions on her phone and have them displayed
on the in-dash display.</DIV>

<DIV>Yes, the Equinox is an upscale version. We decided at our ages the
adaptive cruise, blind spot warning, lane departure etc. might become more
important before wear the car out.</DIV>

my cell phone is paired up with bluetooth and the car has a "built-in" cell
phone as part of onStar, I'm not always sure which phone I'm using. I
know which one it is when it tells me I don't have any minutes, which the
built-in phone never has. I should have said it doesn't let anyone key
an actual phone number on the control panel, evidently regardless of which
phone you are using. I never have been able to use the saved contacts on
my phone either. That may be me, not the system. It will let me
use the contact list of the built-in phone. I am able to answer my phone
through bluetooth, no problem. Some of what I'm remembering may be with
my 2012 Cruz rather than the 2019 equinox, but I think they both behave about
the same regarding the cell phones.</SPAN><BR

<DIV>We can make calls from our Equinox while driving by using the phone's
capabilities when connected to the Equinox - press the phone button on the
steering wheel, and my iPhone’s Siri activates, so I can then say “Call my wife”
and Siri then dials and connects and I speak through the connection on the
car.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I would assume that if you have an Android phone something similar can be
setup so that you can dial “hands free” by giving voice commands to the phone
through the car.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>From the sounds of other things you say, yours must be a higher level model
- we have rear camera, but no forward camera, and don’t have the steering wheel
nagging at us either.</DIV>
