Nokia Automotive + Volkswagen Passat = Bluetooth integration
We've been hearing about a lot (and we do mean a lot) of auto manufacturers
pairing off with so many wireless companies like so
many adolescents at a junior high dance. The latest Bluetooth lovechild comes from Nokia Automotive, who scored an
integration deal in Volkswagen Passats to equip them with a SIM Access Profile system (basically a temporary cellphone
clone) with an external GSM antenna, steering wheel-installed alphanumeric keypad, and, of course, a hands-free
profile. Cellphone totin' drivers wanted.

In the Phaeton, so 2000 people can use this? I think that VW and Nokia are a little smarter than that

I would hope they're smarter. This belongs in the Jetta. :)
