Be sure to file this under “why this haven’t happened earlier,” as I just can’t figure out why it took so long for General Motors to implement Bluetooth technology in its vehicles. This is especially significant as nowadays most of us have Bluetooth-enabled handsets and when we know that other auto makers — especially Japanese — are eating GM’s market share like cupcakes.
One notable example is the brand new Cadillac CTS. This baby has everything — including the full iPod integration, the Gracenote database for your CDs, and 40GB in-dash hard drive — but not Bluetooth. And before you go “WTF?” - GM is assuring us they’ll undertake the “broadest roll-out of Bluetooth in the industry,” with the technology appearing in 30 vehicles across the GM range by 2009.
In the meantime, if you’re so desperate for Bluetooth, buy one of the available car-kits or some other non-GM car…
