That's cool but I want to know where all the cool accessories we were promised are. Snake lights are fine but dangit I want cool hightech stuff.

 

blue connect - hands free blue tooth phone interface with voice activated dialing and other commands - OEM validated product from Johnson Controls.
is now available through brand motion.

and, .......this will sound old, i know... but they are close to releasing their IPod interface that allows control of the IPod by the factory radio.
I tested one last week.... works good, displays the artist, song, etc and functions similar to IPod, with radio buttons. - target March 1 2007 release.

this took WAY too long for the corporate Giant Jophnson Controls ( my employer) to pull together, but things are finally getting out through the Brand Motion startup

I have been very impressed with the Blue Connect system so far. The volume level is very good at high speeds and I have been told by callers that there is very little back ground noise at high speeds. It is very easy to install and setup also the voice recognition is the best I have ever seen with a bluetooth device. The only thing that could make better is if the volume were tied to the stereo speakers but again the volume through the speakers on the Blue Connect is very good. I run the volume at about 60% at 70mph.

 

That blue connect looks like a great product, but for twice what my blackberry cost I can't see how it could possibly be justified.

 

I would agree, at $400, it is pretty pricey. Has anybody heard of any additional accessories that are supposed to be coming out for the bins? CD cases, etc. just don't excite me.
