So, wait...I need to have my bluetooth phone paired to Sync in order for a safety feature like airbag notification to work? Number one, I hate leaving my phone connected to anything bluetooth because it sucks the battery. Number two, what if my phone is broken or the battery is knocked lose in a crash? No airbag notification? Number three, if my son crashes the car and hasn't paired his phone to the system, he's out of luck? And they call this a safety system! At least OnStar's "cell phone" is integrated into the vehicle. Seems a lot safer to me.

The freezing point of washer fluid isn't the reason for this feature. The heated washer fluid does a fantastic job melting ice and snow that builds up on a windshield in the winter. I happen to find this very useful when parking outside in the winter. Instead of scraping the windshield in the freezing cold and covering my shoes in snow, I just give it a nice blast of heated washer fluid from the comfort of the car and I'm on my way. Anyone who lives in a cold-weather climate can certainly appreciate this feature....assuming it works as intended and doesn't turn your car into a pile of ashes. Oh, and It's also better at removing bug guts.

Castlevania 17: Tone-Deaf Tards

@Flashpoint:
I've found that the performance downfalls for "cell phone navigation" compared to dedicated portable navigation devices has less to do with the GPS vs. aGPS factor and more to do with the fact that a PND has an embedded map database stored right on the device, while cell phones use an off-board database which causes very slow route calculation/re-calculation, map display times, etc...because all contents need to be downloaded, handled, and finally displayed.

Without looking into the specs, I would assume that Nuvifone will have an embedded map database stored on some local media like MiroSD or internal flash memory. In this case, GPS navigation would perform really well (at least at the level of current Nuvi products.)

iPhone can also perform Navigation tasks this well if it stores some or all of a map database locally, or if the connection speed is extremely good (just don't expect it to guide you anywhere rural where signals suck if that's the case.)

Depending on the implementation, aGPS can be fantastic or utter crap. If it's the type that requires a constant network connection to maintain location accuracy, you might get decent performance in a city, but in rural areas it will suck. If it's the aGPS that can operate without a constant, or even non-existent network connection, you're good to go.

Hopefully it's more impressive than their previous joystick/knob based systems which consistently come in dead last on JD Power surveys.

Try spelling a street name with that stupid click wheel or moving the cursor to a point on the map and you'll see why touch screens are so much nicer to use.

No touch screen still?

I went to one NASCAR race with a guy I know who is a long time NASCAR fan. At the race I asked him why there aren't any black people in NASCAR. He said, "There are. Who do you think cleans up the track tomorrow?"

NASCAR! NAAAAASCAAAAAAR!!! WOOO HOOOO!
