BlueConnect lists at $399 and shows invoice at several istes at $379. I told the dealer any car without bluetooth would not be considered and he included it without straying from the already negotiated price.

I am responsing to all of these messages. I have had "build in" bluetooth both on my 2008 Nissan Altima Hybrid as well as 09 Forster. Both are lousy, let me clafify. The sound goes thru the speakers, interrupts the radio. The sound is fine, it is excellent for retreiving messages while you are driving. Unfortunately, unless the car is not moving the mike (on my Subaru is mounted on the steering column) for the most part people cannot understand me. It just pickes up too much background noise and I constantly have to get out of the handsfree and go hand held. Of course this led to my first ticket (since 1983!) in NY last week as I was nailed talking on the phone. $185 cost me.
I think when I travel in the future in CT and NY I will go back to using bluetooth earpiece instead of built in hands free

That problem is solved for newer model Subarus which have the mike overhead. When I had a hard wired carphone I mounted the mike at the top of the lefthand A pillar.....now not possible with airbags in the pillar. The new overhead location is probably just as good.
