When I was pairing my phone, I noticed there was something in there about pairing a GPS device. Does anyone have a GPS with bluetooth and tried it? Our Garmin does not have bluetooth otherwise I would. One of the things about portable vs built in is that it can be difficult to hear the navigation when you have the radio on and the windows down. It would be ultra cool if the Garmin sent the audio via bluetooth to the radio.

Another cool thing I found: this is the first car I have ever owned that allows you to configure your remote unlock to unlock both/all the doors on the first button press.

I am not worried because I have my old ipod plugged in and use that instead.

lol no mine is jailbroken as well... haha

UPDATE: so i tried this pandora thing, and it didn't work via blue tooth HOWEVER when i plugged the USB into it, it totally played through my speakers! and i could still scroll through stuff

Ok we need a kid to sit in a car and see just how many times it will keep going...

I believe if you have an SS with the RS option, the SS badges will be red.

Hopefully I get the hang of this posting stuff. I think this was initially posted to the wrong area. I believe that if you have an SS, with the RS option, the SS badges will be red.
