My car doesn't offer a very quiet ride though, to be fair. I guess my bluetooth info's pretty out-of-date. When I think "bluetooth audio" I still think "Wii remote speaker". Granted, that's a terrible "speaker" period (I usually have it muted), but my understanding was that the bandwidth couldn't have really driven anything much better...at least at the time, I guess.
