$115,000 for a Porsche Cayenne and it doesn’t have Bluetooth

I'd like to re-iterate my offer to start an SMS Text News automotive feature review of mobile integration. *cough* Ferrari *cough*

We all know the pinnacle of automotive and mobile evolution is the Volvo Estate, and a wired earpiece.

Bluetooth-schmootooth. Niche. Unless your name is Dave and you drive a white van, in which case you had a Motorola unit grafted to your head at birth.

any chance it can talk to the SIM card wirelessly?
in my N95 i have an option for 'Remote-SIM' - the help only says that 'if another device is using my SIM remotely, i can't use it locally'.

seems like a good way to do things - especially if the car's GSM can sync contacts automatically like i do now with my mac.

otherwise... well... you're right. crap implementation.

My wife Rosemarie has both a Cayenne S and a 911 Carrera 4SC. Neither car has a bluetooth option and it is a real pain in the botty. She uses *21*number# to divert her normal phone to whichever car she uses and #21# to switch back later.

The signal quality is great as the Porsche integrated phone (typically of Porsche) is quite brilliant. About time that Porsche got with the program though.

Agreed. What you want is for it to just 'work'.

Maybe pay a down-on-his-luck Symbian coder to knock up a script, that runs a script when the handset sees an always-on bluetooth module (e.g. a cheap GPS unit) in either car?

But not if you’re getting in and out of your car every day. Who can be bothered taking out their sim card every time they get in their car
