I don't think any of this is driven by consumer demand. Most people would be happy to just have a dock and an in-dash screen for their smartphone.

Plus, what going to happen to this in 5 years? Imagine driving around with a 'floppy drive and dial-in modem" bolted into your dash. That what was still common in 99, and many of these cars are still on the road. There isn't a way to update any of these infotainment systems.
