music is one thing, ur sense of hearing isn't used much while driving, reading a text message and thinking to respond and fighting with voice recognition while driving, bad idea. i'm sorry i live in NYC, our roads are terrible narrow and curvy, always full of traffic, there is no time for that unless you want an accident to happen.
You realize that with German cars, they're built for people that enjoy driving. hell my BMW's one cupholder is out of immediate reach of the driver.
just my .02 cents cause there are people who can multi-task behind the wheel and are decent drivers. my cousin had a G35 Stick, He would drive it, go around a corner talking on his cellphone to his ear while eating a bagel and shifting gears. not bad at all! but not safe either, mind you he lives in florida...

Coolie is right with this topic.
I hope you are not one of those "no hear no see" who blast music while texting and fighting the stuck voice command system and while focusing to everything else than the main task itself, the driving, you endangerer others on the road. Those folks are always the last ones to see the emergency lights and vehicles approaching and so on.

Agree with not wanting Microsoft in my car. I dont want to be bothered with questions like "Are you sure you want to listen to this Song? Yes No Cancel" and seeing Blue Screens.
Audi uses QNX in the new A8 MMI as an operating system which is awesome. It is also going to be used in the new Blackberry tablet - Playbook. So it will probably have seemless integration with your cell phone .

The Playbook is going to be a very interesting device.

there are many times where i don't drive with any music, just listen to the engine and the road and the wind go by. i never blast music super loud that i can't hear anything. if anything its a quiet undertone.

As regards very loud music, there are some songs that just sound so nice when playing at high volume, but I do it for just a song ot two and never in heavy traffic or on city streets - what the heck would happen if a didn't hear that fire engine or police siren? Just another thing I think is too dangerous to engage in. Like Coolieman, I just like to listen to the engine hum.
