I put it in the cup holder. As far away as possible from the radio. I hate the noise I get out of the speakers when the phone is to close to the radio.

I put it in the little dip right below the "coin tray/ ash tray" since I don't have cup holders anymore.

I have a cellphone holder that clamps itself onto any air vents in a car. Works pretty well for me.

I get the noise about 2 seconds before the phone actually rings.
Nice "early warning"
Funny thing too...only happens when I use my GSM phone. Does not happen when I use a CDMA or a TDMA phone.

Only certain phones interfere with the radio..... my current one is not one of them (Startac 7868)

As for where I keep it... it's usually clipped on my belt. If I do take it off in the car I use the cupholders....

Depending on my mood its either in the cupholders, under the chnage tray, or in the door handle. All 3 work just fine for me. Im gonna start using the door handle more, I keep forgetting my cell in the car when I use the other 2 spots.

Damn i'm the only one who keeps it in the CD storage? I keep it in there because theres an ac plug in there. Just have to turn up the ringer all the way so you can hear it. Or when ur radio is making funny noises.

I keep mine clipped to the visor. It's a nextel phone so it works out perfectly. If I get a call, I just hit "speaker" and chat away. Alternatively, I can use voice command and call someone. Totally hands free

I keep it in the cupholders sometimes--you can drag an AC adapter cord from the little space between the cd bin out to the cup holder...

and sometimes I keep it at the door handle too
