More and more cars offer integrated Bluetooth from the factory, but absolutely none offer an integrated Juha Kankkunen. The four-time World Rally Champion isn't even an option at any manufacturer that we know of, but regardless of make and model you can add a little Bluetooth integration with
Nokia's CarKit CK-200. It's a display that sits on your dashboard and connects to two Bluetooth devices simultaneously, and through the wireless controller that clips onto your steering wheel (at right above) you can navigate contacts, make calls, and even scroll through text messages. We're
not so sure about the texting part, but it should be a great way to enable hands-free calling from one device and Bluetooth music streaming from another at the same time, if that's your thing. Not sold? The video after the break of Kankkunen doing his thing in a rally-prepped VW while taking calls will make you a convert. You know what they say: if it's good enough for Juha, it's good enough for you-a.

Nice one there.
"...if it's good enough for Juha, it's good enough for you-a."
Oh, Tim. You're such a card! ;-)

This article brings the funniez. I love corny jokes, sometimes :-)
@JacobsDream
holy crap that is one hell of an ad
@Zylam
Anne's private is on display! :P
compatible with non-nokia phones?
@onemadrssn
As long as it supports Bluetooth Specification 1.1 and higher and Handsfree profile it should be (except for the sms part)
Nokia's font makes me ill.
Always has, always will.
@Black Lion
my first thought.
Nice ad though!
@Black Lion
I love the font actually.
It better work with N900, Nokia!
Will it work with my Nokla?
what a great commercial!
Juha FTW, Same goes for Kimi, Tommi, Mika, Keke, and any other Flying Finns of motorsport.
No integrated from factory setups offer A2DP either. Which is a big miss in my book.
Doesn't really look rally-prepped to me... no roll cage, back seats, no racing harnesses, ... but decent ad.
A mobile phone without a clock, camera and FM Radio is considered useless and so is a car without a music system. Necessities are transforming into luxuries. As high-end quality for listening pleasure is becoming increasingly important, Audi takes the lead in the advancement of this technology.
