Windows Mobile™-based Blue&Me™ is a
personal telematic system enabling to use com-
munication and entertainment applications ex-
pressly designed for use in the car.
The Blue&Me™ system fitted on your ve-
hicle has the following functions: hands-free,
SMS text reader (not all mobile phones sup-
port this function), multimedia player and
navigator; it is also prepared for additional
services that will become available in the
course of time. Blue&Me™ makes a
whole range of functions available, howev-
er it is useful to know that:
❍
not all mobile phones support them ful-
ly, such as, for example listening to an
incoming SMS message or automatic
downloading of the directory.
❍
certain improvements are required for
using an iPOD (see dedicated para-
graph).
The Blue&Me™ system, fully integral
with voice commands, buttons on the steer-
ing wheel, on sound system and multifunc-
tion display messages, gives you the possi-
bility of interacting with your Bluetooth®
wireless technology mobile phone (even if
you keep it in your pocket or bag) without
having to take your eyes off the road or re-
moving your hands from the steering wheel.
To use voice commands you are not required
to train the voice recognition system to rec-
ognize your voice. This implies that the sys-
tem is nearly equally performing with differ-
ent persons, i.e.: the voice recognition sys-
tem is of the “speaker independent” type.
With this system you can also play your
favourite music stored on USB device and
select tracks and playback modes with both
voice commands or buttons on the steer-
ing wheel.
THE HANDS-FREE KIT
The basic characteristic of this hands-free kit
is voice recognition with Bluetooth®wire-
less technology. With this system you can
make and receive calls safely and securely
using either voice commands or buttons on
the steering wheel under whatever driving
condition without having to take your eyes
off the road or removing your hands from
the steering wheel, as required by current
law regulations.
Bluetooth®wireless technology enables
wireless connection between your mobile
phone and the hands-free kit installed on
your car.
To use the hands-free kit, you need a Blue-
tooth®wireless technology enabled mo-
bile phone. This hands-free kit gives you the
possibility of interacting vocally with your
mobile phone while driving, even if your mo-
bile device does not feature this capability.
You can also interact with your mobile phone
manually and visually using the steering
wheel controls and the instrument panel
multifunction display.
For further details on the mobile phones sup-
ported by Blue&Me™, refer to section
Blue&Me™ SUPPORTED MOBILE
PHONES.
To get started with Blue&Me™ hands-free
kit with voice recognition, you have to sim-
ply pair your Bluetooth
®
wireless technol-
ogy enabled mobile phone with the system.
Pairing is an operation that has to be made
only once.
