Nokia Automotive + Volkswagen Passat = Bluetooth integration

By Ryan Block

We've been hearing about a lot (and we do mean a lot) of auto manufacturers
pairing off with so many wireless companies like so many adolescents at a junior high dance. The latest Bluetooth lovechild comes from Nokia Automotive, who scored an integration deal in Volkswagen Passats to equip them with a SIM Access Profile system (basically a temporary cellphone clone) with an external GSM antenna, steering wheel-installed alphanumeric keypad, and, of course, a hands-free profile. Cellphone totin' drivers wanted.
