At last month’s Consumer Electronics Show, the new Saab 9-3 displayed the first in-car application of a Bluetooth communications protocol developed by Delphi Corporation.

Bluetooth allows portable devices to communicate up to 10 meters without physical connections. Using the protocol, the mobile phone fitted to the Saab 9-3 can be accessed by any Bluetooth-enabled device.

“Bluetooth opens opportunities for a vast range of convenience features in the car,” said Dr. Robert Schumacher, business line executive for Delphi Delco Electronics Systems. “We are working with Saab to implement person productivity features that allow consumers to connect to portable devices such as mobile phones and head sets through the vehicle cockpit.”
