Two iconic products will be forming an alliance later this year: the iPhone from Apple and the Beetle from Volkswagen. From that point on, the smartphone will interface to vehicle functions of the Beetle and Beetle Cabriolet via a specially developed app (“Volkswagen Car Net The Beetle”) and a docking station.
Sounds great.
Why not all of their models? I have yet to see software/UI made by an auto manufacturer that didn’t suck. I’d even pay extra to get rid of their stock device and just have an adapter for my phone with an accompanied app.
Unless they have a plan to swap the dock out when Apple redesigns the phone’s shape in any way, this is terribly shortsighted.
