I have Blue&amp;Me in my new FIAT Grande Punto Sporting. It one of the best and cheapest integrated Bluetooth kit. Works like a charm with my i-mate JAMin. Its voice recognation is top notch. Once you paired your phone, B&amp;Me copies your contacts, and you can either use the vioce activation, or the buttons on the wheel. By the way, there are 4 other buttons on the other side of the wheel: Up, Down, Call, OK. And now it has an SMS reader software available as well.

I'm almost afraid to ask - what's Ctrl+Alt+Del? The Windows and Mute buttons, plus the horn? ;) :P

what's Ctrl+Alt+Del?

Probably used to forcefully terminate all car processes should the car fail to shut off ignition at your command... :wink:

Seriously though, the fact people are going to be pressing the Start button during driving is bothering me a little. 8O

Can see the headlines now "200 Car Pileup caused by Windows based distracted driving as 5 drivers play interactive game" ;-)

I cannot imagine what would happened if it "crashed" during a high speed ride...
