For many business people, being able to take some of your everyday work technology on the road is invaluable. For example, making phone calls (only where legal of course!) via a hands free system, finding client sites using GPS, driving safely with reversing cameras etc.
Fellow blogger, Vinnie Merchandani has compiled a list of things you can do to upgrade your old car with spiffy new car features. The site is US specific, and all dollar amounts are quoted in US dollars, but most of these solutions will work just as well here in Australia, and are available from local distributors.
Vinnie cites that you only need to spend around US$500 or so to turn your car into something less than the USS Enterprise, and when you understand that a new car dealer will charge you around $5000 extra for these ‘features’ then you will appreciate it.
Gotta go – I have an 8 year old Honda CRV that needs urgent upgrading…

thanks for link…
I actually have BlueAnt bluetooth speakerphones – which are from Oz,,,so I am pretty sure most of the items I mention are available locally and in 220v, left hand drive, GPS voice with local accent etc.

Thanks Vinnie,
I have always found the BlueAnt bluetooth products work incredibly well, and outperforms all other bluetooth devices that I have from top tier companies that cost 4 times as much.
