No, I certainly don't plug my phone in every time I get into the car. And yes, I will want to use these features every time I'm driving.That has to be the most shortsighted thing I've ever read...do you not plug in and charge your phone in your car? I'm using CarPlay exclusively in my new XC90, it's useful enough to replace the Sensus system. Hey, how's that Android Auto looking?
Also, you assume that all of these are not wireless capable with nothing to go on. My car has a WiFi, 3G, and Bluetooth radio...I imagine that one of those might happen to cover a wireless protocol such as AirPlay or WiFi Direct, wouldn't you? Or are you under the impression that specialized radio chips will need to be installed in all of these cars?
And yes, I assume that until Apple or the manufacture tells me otherwise, that the car will not support something other than what it is listed as doing. Never assume when it comes to making large purchases.
Trust me, I want this system badly, and I'm in the market for a new car (or at least an aftermarket unit). But I'm holding off of getting something until we know for sure that it will support wireless. It would be silly to buy something and find out in 3 months that it doesn't support the most recent features. It's not like an iPhone where I can just trade in for the newest model.
