While it would be nice to have some minor integration with my car using something like Bluetooth I do not want a fully integrated system between car and phone as it will of course be proprietary and locked down tighter than anything you have ever seen. With a fully integrated system it won't take long before car's come with their own "Parental Controls". You could restrict any car function, music/radio content, phone functions, more stuff than I can imagine.I don't even want to imagine what Automotive Bloatware would be like.
Think of the children legislators would jump on the opportunity to enact a ton of new laws to "protect" us
Its bad enough that cars with the "old" iPhone dock connector are now permanently obsolete, these new integrated systems will likely be the same.
Its going to be interesting to see what develops

They need something like ISO 7736 which about thirty years ago was formerly known under some now obsolete DIN standard, so naturally 30 years later we still call it single or double DIN mount.
I'd be happy with a secondary ODB-II port for charging and read only access. The physical side of car audio is pretty standard via the ISO standard aka "DIN mounts", but the electrical side is eternally messed up with embrace-extend-extinguish every decade another fad connector.
