Blue tooth and USB drive are awesome

First car I've had with integrated blue tooth and usb drive. Last night me and the wife were playing around with blue tooth on our phones.I love being able to call people and receive phone calls hands free while driving, all voice activated. As far as the USB goes I downloaded my favorite songs on to my usb flash drive (off my computer), plug it in the port on the car and listen to my music, all in something so small and carried on a key chain. No more CD cases (although the car still has a cd player), I could see someone having maybe 3 USB flash drives with different genre of music on each of them. Also the wife informed me Ipods will hook straight up to the car also.

It took me a week to get around to doing it, I paired my cell phone to the HHR via bluetooth. It's great for hands free calling (it's the law here in CA). I also hooked up my iPod via the USB port. Steering wheel controls work great to select music with a minimum of driver distraction.

Great features IMHO overall!

totally agree w/ the blue tooth and usb. I have never used the cd player. I have never used the usb for a flash drive but use my iPod in it all the time. I have also used it to charge my garmin gps. I think bluetooth and usb will be must haves in my next car for sure.

I have the bluetooth and the USB in my 09 Cobalt SS. It is awesome. I use an 8 GB flash drive for my music. Very glad I have the USB. Sadly, the HHR doesn't have either

Love love love the USB drive! I'm in the process of filling up my 8gb usb, and have a 16gb waiting in the wings. Between that and XM, I haven't listened to the radio in a while. I have an earpiece I use for my cell so I haven't integrated the Bluetooth yet, BUT I will say that the hands free calling with Onstar rules! Reception everywhere FTW!

Later
