Even Car Seats Get Bluetooth

Yes, even your seat in the car may soon radiate with Bluetooth so you can adjust it perfectly to your body through…..an app, of course.

Maybe instead of adding seat warmers to cars (a la Audiovox), retailers may be adding Bluetooth as well.

The Bluetooth seat was shown by Faurecia at the recent LA Auto Show, presumably for OEM use.

There’s a La-Z-Boy style version that’s 12-way adjustable and fully controlled by an app so you get a perfect driving position.

The app also includes a massage mode and a “therapy” mode with settings for lower back pain, or leg discomfort and it offers coaching on how to eliminate various back and leg problems by adjusting the seat.  Bluetooth also controls the seat heaters.

With aging baby boomers, an aftermarket version might find some demand.
