XM satellite radio, Bluetooth, and iPod/USB adapters are standard across the line with 2010 Acura models. Many have Bluetooth audio as well. By building them in, it reduces cost (compared to buying the options a la carte), avoids model complexity, and likely increases safety. While there’s ongoing discussion about the hazards of distracted driving from using a cellphone or tuning a music player while driving, most people – if not every researcher – believes there has to be some benefit from not holding a cellphone in one hand and driving with the other, even if there is distraction from absorbing the information in the call, hands-free or not. With satellite radio, odds are more people will keep the subscription going beyond the first three months free when it’s in every vehicle. This is a win for customers and for Acura.
