While I have indirectly profited at one point from the iP* product line of Apple, I have not owned one since the original shuffle, which I quickly sold.

I know I am not a typical Apple user these days, but I cannot see there actual advantage to them for this. Yes it is a feature for its users but virtually no one is going to buy a new car for an iP* product or an iP* product to have it work with a car they already own. Maybe if the car manufacturers bundled an iP* with car purchases? But that's like selling a car with a Walkman and probably as damaging to the iP* brand as it would have been for Walkman...
