New Avalon does not have Bluetooth! - Toyota Tundra Forums : Tundra Solutions Forum

I test drove the new Avalon Limited and was ready to buy one, but I found out it does not have Bluetooth (*) interface in the fancy JBL sound system. The Prius, that sells for nearly half price of the Limited, has Bluetooth, and so do many other cars these days.
Does anyone know when the 2006 models will come out--in the fall or next year?
(*) Bluetooth = wireless interface that allows me to use my cell-phone through the car's sound system, etc.

It's coming. It wasn't ready at intro time.

My '05 does not have Bluetooth, but one of the salesmen at the dealership had green teeth if that counts for anything.

That Avalon Limited is a niiiiiice vehicle, isn't it? I saw one in white when I was getting my Oxygen Sensors replaced and I still want one. They did a great job on that one.

I specifically am avoiding a 2006 Sequoia due to lack of bluetooth. Now will settle for a used or carryover '05 and then plan to sell it when the '07 makeover models are released.

I find it an irony also that Toyota's teeny-bopper cars have bluetooth and not their high-end (and not speaking of Lexus here).
