freep: Speaker-maker supreme Bose has begun making full sound systems that offer navigation, hands-free phone use, satellite radio and voice commands.
Bose, which has made high-end speakers for cars since its first application on the 1983 Cadillac Seville, is the sole supplier of audio, video and navigation for the $264,000 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti.
The elegant system has the same combination of high style and high fidelity that distinguish striking Bose home audio equipment like its Wave radio and Lifestyle audio and video systems.
Called the Bose Media System, the unit has everything from a 30-gigabyte hard drive to store 200 CDs to proximity detectors to sense when you reach for the control knobs.
