Steering Wheel Mounted Bluetooth

Is it just me, or is this a bad idea?

The only way that could have more fail is if it was made to be mounted over the airbag.

Then, after the inevitable accident the ingenious buyer can have bluetooth permanently implanted in their face

Well, I mean, it's sort of a good idea...I mean at least it's hands free right?

....Right?

Must be a cop. All the ones I see are tapping on the key board while driving, At least hes not driving, There is no key in the ignition, maybe the lawyers will use that as an out in the law suits?

I think all those gizmos should also be fitted with a boxing glove that goes straight for the driver's nuts when the airbag goes off. That way he KNOWS he's in for a world of pain if he has an accident while gizmoing.

For women you could just aim it a bit higher up.

Is it the concept or the placement you have an issue with. While the placement isn't ideal, the concept is fine. Does this have hands free dialing?. I love Sync, it's so seamless and works so well I hate that I don't have it in my C30 (my wife get's in it MY company car). I think people just have to accept that talking while driving is here to stay and weather that's talking on the phone or to passengers in your car you'll never get rid of it.

Another device to keep the kids from actually driving, glad you have the sense to see it for what it is Tommy, watch out for the idiots who don't.

I don't like people driving while on the phone, and I never do. That said, I realize there will always be idiots, and these bluetooth things help. I don't have a problem with sync or anything else like this, I have a problem with mounting it on the steering wheel. What do you do in a panic situation? I doubt you could do a slalom with this thing.
