Developed with Microsoft, this system offers Bluetooth hands-free use with a mobile phone. It is also capable of displaying SMS text on the dash screen and it has built-in voice activation. Another part of the system is the inclusion of a USB connector so that an MP3 player or USB flashcard can be plugged in, giving the car's entertainment system access to MP3 files stored on the unit.

Brave new Bravo, Fiat intends

In Australia, the Fiat Bravo was sold as the Fiat Ritmo, as Mazda Australia owns rights to the "Bravo" name. The Bravo is also being built in Brazil since 2010, and is being sold there and throughout South America (with the exception of Chile and Colombia, who receive the Bravo from Italy), with the exception of the T-Jet version, that will be launched in March 2011.[dated info]
