This is a great idea. Plus I agree that BT would seem the most obvious way to do this; however, Apple is a little smarter than that. They are only launching this with BMW right now, but I'm sure this will become available with most automobile manufacturer's pretty soon. I'm sure they thought about it, and realized that the number of people with actual bluetooth built into their cars are minimal. Even when it comes to BMW's, they don't all come with it. This is the cheapest way for them, the car manufacturer's and the public to do it. Plus they can get a much wider audience. Tons of cars have radio controls on their steering wheels...but not many have BT built in.
I am looking to get this for my wife's X5, but will wait a couple of weeks to see what everyone's response to it is. It's still pretty new.
