Not to start any flame wars but you say you wont pay 90 dollars for a storage box, but you will pay 300 for something a 20 dollar blue tooth headset can do (and you arent tethered to the car until the call is done)?
I mean I agree it is a cool option, but I had "BMW concierge" in my m3 (basically BMW onstar kinda and allowed for phone calls too) and it was great, but it became a hassle when I was talking on the phone and wanted to leave the car. Now I have good pair of skull candy headphones on me at all times. awesome stereo sound and i can talk to people and since they are isolation type buds (the ones that go deep in your ears) I can hear every word.
Sometimes the best thing isnt more, but actually less :-p
