neutral  Andries Conradie: what about the hands free part??

  -> The German does not mention this, so I did not feel that it should be added. The ad in the link probably has more features and wants to sell the car, so it puts them in.

agree  Kcda: I understand the logic behind it as mobile/cellular ready. I believe they mean ready to be used in the cars (things like hands free, phone holder all fitted etc.) but the adapters are not there since they differ according to the mobile phone brand used.

agree  Teresa Reinhardt: vorbereitet/ready means you can order/buy t, bu t it's not there yet (only the prep for it, connections, sockets, etc.)
