Seeing as how some Empeg users already integrated Bluetooth into their cars... Maybe Ford should have bought Emepg (or purchase OEM'd SB stuff).

Maybe they are planning on just that... We don't know who the mystery OEM partners are. Though Ford doesn't strike me as the most likely candidate... Being a current owner of a Mustang and a (hopefully) future owner of a Thunderbird, I hope they follow through with this!

I'd expect stuff like that to show up more on Tauruses and Crown Vic's, though.

That announcement means the technology is getting spec'd out now. 3 - 5 years is a standard automotive product cycle.
