Default They should offer integration with numerous phone brands instead...

Everyone may not like the Audi phone that's currently offered, and what may be. But I bet they would sell a whole lot of kits if they offered open ended integration solutions with the big 3 or 4 cell companies.

It's probably harder for cell companies to offer hands free kit that seamlessly integrates with each car, but the car manufacturers can surely offer multiple solutions.

Hell, I'd pay for the extra boxes needed to plug in.

Default if it worked with a sim card that was the dublicate of my cell...

sort of like in europe - you get a dublicate sim card and that enables you to use your phone # in your car phone when driving.

Default Yeah, but we're stuck with it. At a minimum Audi should work with phone manufacturers for the kits..

They can charge for it, and I bet with the giant movement behind hands free cell phone usage laws being passed, there is an opportunity to make money and hopefully aid in decreasing potential accidents due to holding the cell phone and talking in the car while driving.

If it had a good hands free system - and you could take the phone with you - yes.
