In addition to its special suitability for navigation systems and communication tools, it is characterized by its support for interfaces that are of particular importance in automobile construction . Fiat introduced the system under the name “ Blue & Me ” to the model range in spring 2006. It enables the hands-free mobile phone functions to be controlled via Bluetooth , TtS ( Text to Speech , i.e. reading SMS out loud), voice recognition and a USB interface.
