I have been travelling ALOT and have been renting about every car made. It is so surprising that a few of the cars STILL can't get Bluetooth right. I mean the standard has been out for 20 years now. Cars have had good bluetoot for about 10 years. But a few (Nissan and Chrysler) have decided that the only way to get the bluetooh to work is to have a user figure out where to get an app an then download, install, allow it to access your entire phone, and then only implement a tiny fraction of the full Bluetooth specs. Some support barely handsfree. Some have such a rich profile, that I find new features eery time I drive (Mazda and Toyota). This is a SIMPLE protocol, hardware, and software stack, the chips can cost as little as $0.25 and the Stack is open source. I have concluded that the marketing department went crazy and talked the engineering into limited profiles to squeeze the user into downloading some directed marketing app that sucks all your data off and sells t in the background. Sad because this was in cars n 1996..... So just how many years will it be before Apple has stuff in cars? 25 years? How about other contenders?
