Default Bluetooth Capable

I know a lot of people have given their comments as to what they would like to see for the 2006 models, well how about allowing it to be Bluetooth capable?

(For those who don't know what Bluetooth is, its allowing for your cellphone to be put in a slot, which in turn, allows you to talk on your phone without using a headset)

but you don't need a slot to put it into. I have an 04 Acura TL with bluetooth and a compatible phone and whenever I'm in the car it stays on my belt and I answer all my calls from the steering wheel. It's a great feature. And now that the city of Chicago has passed an ordinance banning talking on a cell phone while driving it's perfect. It would be one nice addition. Same with controls for the radio on the steering wheel.

And a great car too. GM should look at the Acura nav and take notes.

I love my TL. Have had several Acuras and the new TL is the best yet. The same goes for my C6.

The bluetooth option would cut in on the revenue created by the in-vehicle phone part of OnStar. I doubt they would offer it.

We also own a TL and the Bluetooth feature is awesome. Since the C6 already has a microphone to control the NAV, I'm wondering if some wonder-brain couldn't use it and an interface to couple to the NAV and put Bluetooth in via aftermarket!

Are you serious?

This is a sports car! The NAV option is already too much.

Maybe GM would quit losing so much market share if they would quit being so arrogant and trying to force everyone to use their exclusive "protocal". The whole idea behind Bluetooth is to have a universally compatible protocal. (my comment about GM goes beyond this particular issue and to the overall arrogonce that companies who reach high levels of market share usually fall into).

no there isnt. One is a honda and the other is a 400HP sports car that is much more likely to have parts under high stress.

edit: besides you can buy an extended warranty and this car is still an amazing deal
