Bluetooth with Navi coming? - Click HERE for Original Thread
t500
I picked up my 2006 EXL-Navi last night, and the salesman kept talking about blutooth integration with the next release of the Navi DVD. I assume this is purely sales talk and have serious doubts about it being true.

Has anyone else heard anything about this?

I'd say it's pure sales BS. The MDX NAVI already has bluetooth, and there's less and less separating a top end Pilot and the MDX, other than additional cash outlay. :cool:

Bluetooth requires hardware upgrade not software upgrade.

I'd say its possible only AFTER the replacement MDX is released, and enough price/product differential is created between the Pilot and MDX

...unless the Pilot Navi system is the same as in the MDX but the bluetooth function not enabled. Hypothetically i guess this could be possible, but somewhat unlikely. Has anyone tried using the MDX dvd in the Pilot or are they the same disc?

And for the hands-free link, I'd presume that in addition to the bluetooth hardware, you'd need phone control buttons on the steering wheel, and they can't be easily retro-fitted even if a sofware upgrade turned on any pre-existing bluetooth hardware functionality.

Why not? That's how we all get more knowledgeable, isn't it.:roadtrip:
