Bluetooth was issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in July 2003. "Bluetooth — named after a 10th-century Danish king — allows devices within a 33-foot range to connect without wires, making the car a good candidate for such devices. In many vehicles, Bluetooth controls are mounted on the steering wheel, or placed on the driver-side visor."
