Fair enough. I can live with that for now.

Now I just need to get my cellphone buddy to finally get me the V3 Razr he's been promising me for four months!

For a Business CD equipped vehicle - this is not a bad alternative.

I would not get this for NAV-equipped vehicles however. The benefits of voice activation on the Bluetooth retrofit kits (5th Generation) make the retrofit well worth it.
