Infosync is reporting that both Ford and Nissan are teaming up with Nokia to add cell phone link-ups in their auto lines.
“The Ford Focus and C-Max, in addition to other future Ford models, will include Nokia-designed phone integration based on a Bluetooth phone or a phone connected via a special mobile holder and cable
The Nissan Pirmera will include a different system that offers essentially the same functionality. The Nissan system, also developed in conjunction with Nokia, is based on the car company’s N-FORM control system and OS. It is built around a 7-inch LCD display, and also supports phone book access, speed dialing, taking calls, etc. The Nissan system includes a baseplate onto which different mobile holders can be attached in order to support phones from different manufacturers. Whether the connection is via Bluetooth or cable is unclear. “
