Customer Review: Nuvi 770 is great product
I received my Garmin Nuvi 770 ordered from Amazon.com and provided by Globalzar in just a few days and perfect condition. It works right out of the box and is very intuitive to use. After a few days I hooked it to my computer with the USB cable provided and it was immediately recognized, connected to the Garmin website, and downloaded software updates. It works great doing everything advertised and I'll be taking it to Germany to try the European maps out. It's a great feature to be able to define and store my European routes while here in the US and also even use the Garmin to simulate traveling the routes. I've had no problems with the windshield mount but bought a friction pad mount to use in California since it's illegal to have anything stuck on your windshield there. Totally satisfied with Amazon, Globalzar, and especially Garmin who provided a fine product and was very responsive to a couple of my email questions.

It's possible to get greater functionality from your BMW vehicle, as well as greater convenience and safety with BMW Bluetooth integration. It is no secret that use of a cell phone while driving can be hazardous to your safety and that of others - and increasingly, this practice is being outlawed throughout the nation. Using this technology, the main danger of using a cell phone while driving is eliminated and you'll be able to make outgoing calls and receive them without ever having to touch your actual cell phone!

About Bluetooth

Bluetooth (named for a Viking king who brought the entire Scandinavian Peninsula under his rule for a short time during the Middle Ages) is an industry-wide standard, electronic protocol that allows a range of different digital devices to "talk" to each other without the need for cumbersome, tangled cords. These run the gamut from personal computers to game consoles today, but the earliest use of Bluetooth was to integrate cell phones into automobiles, so drivers could use these devices without having to take their hands off the steering wheel.

BMW Bluetooth integration means just that - you'll be able to use your cell phone while keeping your eyes on the road and maintaining control over your vehicle. No physical connection between your cell phone and your vehicle is necessary.

Features Galore

this allows you to control your cell phone using nothing more than your steering wheel and radio controls. You'll be able to go though your digital phone book, dial numbers and adjust the volume easily and safely.

If your cell phone supports such features, you can also display information on your BMW's dashboard console and even activate it using voice commands. By using a quality kit from a reputable audio dealer means you'll never miss an important call just because you're listening to the radio. Whenever you make an outgoing call or receiving an incoming one your cell phone mutes the programming playing on your sound system at that moment.

Easy and Affordable

An audio factory pre- assembles each integration kit from genuine BMW parts. These kits use the original OEM wiring and come with clear, step-by-step instructions. With virtual "plug-and-play" capability, you'll have your vehicle ready for "hands-free" cell phone operation in minutes.

The kits come completely compatible with your existing equipment, as long as your vehicle is not equipped with BMW Assist (this must be removed before installing a new kit). BMW vehicles that were not originally manufactured for the U.S. market must also have a factory installed phone system or "Option 640" pre-wiring.

If you want to experience the ease and safety of these types of features, consider talking with a reputable audio sound system installer. With just a few bits of information about your BMW, their experts can tell you exactly what you need in order to enjoy BMW Bluetooth integration.

Audio sound system expert Wayne Hemrick details how BMW Bluetooth integration works. There are many options available for a BMW Bluetooth upgrade and Wayne helps you understand what will work best with you vehicle. For those new to BMW Bluetooth, Wayne discusses the history and uses of this technology.
