My phone seems to connect with the car at about 30feet. I remember last week I was at the dealership, waiting to pick up my car from servicing. In the waiting area I heard my cellphone give that beep, and I figured they have brought the car in from the other end of the shop. Sure enough a few seconds later, the mechanic brought over the key. :P

I'm pretty bored evidently.

ANYWAYS,

Depending on the packages you got, there's some toys that are pretty interesting. For me, I think the navigation is something that's been keeping me really interested (this is the first car I've ever had with navigation, or my first navigation aid). I also like some of the customizable features the Lancer has like the option to use the panic alarm as the theft alarm or not, and the three flash signaling (which is really handy). I wish the dash showed the temperature gauge and the fuel gauge as analog, it just feels weird after having driven my 05 Toyota Avalon for so long. The bluetooth... I haven't been able to fully use it yet :sad: I mean, my phone is an import and everytime I call from it using the BT, the bluetooth drops from car to the phone itself. Same thing happens the other way around. When I used a Razr though, it works perfectly. T_T

The more time I spend with my car, the more things I find interesting about it. =D Like that big extra space behind the engine O_o;;

I think that has to do with the compatibility of your cell.
I text at will and receive texts all the time and have no issues with the music cutting or the number of the texter.

BTW, I use a Nokia 5300. Nokias are pretty universal to bluetooth stuff, usually.
