Toyota, Nintendo team up to create navigational remote control

PanARMENIAN.Net - Japanese automaker Toyota has teamed up with Nintendo to turn the Nintendo DS into navigational remote control that allows users to set destinations, map out routes, and even get sightseeing information.

Dubbed the Kuruma de DS, the game card is Bluetooth-enabled for easy pairing of the handheld game with the vehicle's navigation system, CNET reports citing Kotaku.

The interface features Nintendo Mii characters and even sports a speedometer. The game will also show users information about where your vehicle has been and even pose quizzes.

However, this little tour de fun is a bit pricey: Toyota's top-end navigation system runs about $2,600, while the game itself costs about $90. Besides, the pair will be available only in Japan, the report says.
