    Here is your answer: BLUE TOOTH = NO WIRES!

    That is wicked, I wonder if there are any of those little gadgets avaliable in the USA.

    If so, that serial - blue tooth thing could be used as a modem cable too?

    Found a few links:

    Bluetooth Serial Adapter:
    http://www.socketcom.com/product/CS0400-479.asp price is $160

    Samething but cheaper:
    http://www.securemart.com/cgi-bin/fu...6.html?pcode=4

    Does any one know, if its possible to use the following
    PC > USB Blue Tooth \/ wireless link thru bluetooth \/ USB Blue Tooth > USB > Serial Adapter > GPS

    its powered thru pin 9 dc 4-10v or by an optional power supply which is $3
    This looks quite cool, I might get one or two for wireless OBD & GPS im wondering if it could free up my com-ports.

    Yes, It's simplified Chinese. That Bluetooth GPS seems to be rechargable.
