Motorola and Nikko have announced a new Wireless Wheels remote control toy car controlled by select Motorola iDEN handsets. Based on the Freescale Semiconductor wireless Personal Area Network (PAN) technology which utilizes the IEEE 802.15.4 standard, the 1/16 scale replica is the latest remote control model to be introduced by Motorola to the consumer market.

Using the Motorola iDEN phone attachment, which leverages PAN technology, the Motorola iDEN handset replaces traditional remote controls by operating multiple devices such as toys or robots with reliable two-way communications.

Wireless Wheels are full-function radio controlled toy cars that give consumers a multi-sensory racing experience. Combined with Motorola iDEN handsets, users can view simulations of their car's movement via animation on the phone's screen, hear the engine start and the tires squeal as they race, and feel the phone vibrate in their hand like the steering wheel of a race car. In addition, the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button serves as a "turbo boost" for a sudden burst of speed.

Wireless Wheels are compatible with the following Motorola iDEN phones: i265, i275, i560, i730, i760, i830, i850, i860, and i870 and runs on 4 AA batteries.
