the REALLY sad thing is that for about $4-5 a car, they can build a bluetooth handsfree kit into EVERY car. The car mfgs are promoting it because Intel never finsihed what they started with bluetooth to make it a REAL VIABLE technology.

BT chip <$3
micrphone <$1
software and control in the radio <$2

The phone can be made to do the echo cancellation with ANY bluetooth device by doing an active noise calibration when it is pushed to Send.

But if they did this, then shitty car kits like the MOTO v60 CRAP for mercedes would never get to market and MOT couldn't sell those crap phones for $600 a peice....
