Hands Free Mobile in Michigan

[WSKU631]

I gather that Michigan's hands free electronics motor vehicle law prohibits using a hand held microphone while driving. What alternatives have been developed? Seems like the only answer is using a VOX setting, but assume that would be tricky due to normal conversation, background music\, etc. Any instances of folks being stopped simply because they have an antenna on the roof?
