      1. But Justin Beaver hasn’t beaten his girlfriend. If he ever beats Selena Gomez (whom he doesn’t even deserve to lick the bottom of her shoes), I shall kill him.

  1. Ford Sync is painful. There is a delay 20% of the time between when I tell it to do something and when it happens. It crashes and reboots while I’m listening to it. It will stop connecting to my iPhone and I have to full the fuse to reset Sync.

    Absolutely drives me crazy!!!!

  2. Anyone have any other experiences with bluetooth and a car audio system?
    Bluetooth headphones sound okay but tend to be unreliable. I’ve tried the motorola ones and they cutout a lot. The platronics ones worked great but stopped working after a while. The sony model crapped out too after a short time.
    I’m still looking for a decent reliable pair of bluetooth headphones that I can use whilst running. Wired solutions are annoying.

  3. The Bluetooth audio connection in my Mazda 3 2010 is rock solid. It never cuts out and switches seamlessly between voice calls and voice commands! A true pleasure!
