I was in another car following about 1/8th. mile behind my wife who was driving my G when a phone call came in. I answered the cell phone and completed the call. (It was business related) When I got home, my wife reported that she heard the conversation over the G's bluetooth connection, even though we were about 1/8 mile apart.

It's a good thing I wasn't discussing her birthday present or something like that. Anyway, if you've got bluetooth hooked up, be careful when you're talking on your cell in the vicinity of your car.

Bluetooth devices, depending on the device, have a range of up to 100 meters for a Class 1 device (Class 3 is 1 meter, 2 is 10 meters). Although there is a need to be careful, for those who may not completely understand, your phone has to paired to a device for it to work. So if you have your phone paired to two cars, this is what happened here, not that it just randomly picked up the conversation.

My phone is only paired to the G, the other car didn't even have bluetooth. My wife was at least 1/8th. mile ahead, and she reported the conversation to me almost verbatim. So, all I've got to say is be careful, it probably has more range than you think.

Hmm, that's interesting. Maybe she planted a listening device in your car.

I heard your conversation, too. It's that old McCain guy! He is Bush's minion & broadcasting your private conversations to all.

But seriously, your phone was paired with the car she was driving... so it is possible (given the proximity).
