Bluetooth, built in hard drive, 600W
Hey guys, I got a couple random questions...
I saw in the menu that you can pair the car to a bluetooth cellphone...but what exactly does this allow you to do? It still wouldn't let me use the phone through the car.
Also, what purpose does the internal hard drive serve? Is there a way to rip CDs onto it?
And the car is supposed to have a 600W sound system but it sure doesn't feel that loud. Is this normal? A 1000W Onkyo 7.1 system lights the living room on fire...and the living room is a LOT larger than the inside of this car.
Thanks!

The BT on Comand is mainly supporting visitor card exchange and allowing privacy calls with a car kit, if using a BT headset. For BT telephony one would need a BT puck (and the basic phone kit).

The HD is for the Nav - makes the response time faster and allows for the direct transfer from Yahoo maps to the car.

Oh yes, one would not need the HD for ripping music when you can put a Compact flash (or similar) memory card on the PCMCIA slot, or use 8.5 GB DL DVD disc on the DVD drive, or multiple disc on DVD changer.

Thats what I've done, burned an MP3 DL DVD. The IPOD interface is a total waste of time and money. It's far to slow to navigate when you have hundreds of CD's. Much easier to burn a few DL DVD's.

EU is working on a mandatory accident reporting system, similar to what Tele-Aid is providing (among other features). This appears to be worked completely wrong, but that would already be off topic.

Surprisingly home audio manufacturers tend to report far more conservatively and accurately which is why if you ever listened to a decent home amp like the mcintosh mc58 which is a measly 50 watts/channel yet it will play lound enough to make your ears bleed.

Thanks for all the answers! I'll poke around in the address book and see if I notice any differences. That Yahoo/Google transfer is pretty cool, but too bad TeleAid is required :/ Kinda stinks about the amplifier wattage ratings...the bass does sound strong, so maybe your example fits with the S.
