I am looking at a new 9-3 Arc. Under Options Packages, it has...

"DRIVER'S PACKAGE

Includes red-walnut trim, 8-way power front seats with driver's-side
3-position memory, power windows with express up and down and remote
opening, auto-dimming mirror with integrated garage door opener and
compass, 6-disc in-dash CD changer, wiring for hands-free phone, Saab
Park Assist System, and rain-sensing windshield wipers. "

What is meant by the "wiring for hands-free phone" statement?

Is that the setup for the On-Star/Verizon deal? or can you use an
existing phone (Bluetooth perhaps) with the car?

I had a poke about under the dash of my 1999 9-3 which also boasts 'wiring
for hands-free phone'. It seems to consist of an auxiliary socket which I
presume is linked to the power and radio, so any hands-free kit would need
to be either a genuine Saab one or at least compatible with that wiring
adapter.

Obviously time has marched on so it may be different on a new vehicle, but I
doubt it!
