This limits sales potential on a wider spectrum. So only Apple owners will purchase these Chevy models? Of course I’m being facetious but it is done to make a point. Companies that have no direct involvement with Apple, Android or other platforms, need to focus on multiple platforms adaptibility to satisfiy the entire consumer base. Plug and play should be inherently simple no matter what OS is preferred.

This is extremely useful, however I believe the automakers are going to have to cater this function to other types of smart phones. While a lot, some may argue the majority, of cell phone users are switching to the various models of iPhones, there are still other smart phones out there which can’t be ignored. Someone with a different type of cell phone may be turned off by this unique feature. I, however, am an avid Apple/iPhone user and buyer and think this is totally cool! May be upgrading to a car featuring this when Honda jumps on board. :)
