I'm guessing that this iOS7 feature will be useless to any current car owners

Keeping in mind, I own a 2012 Audi A6. Most people that ride in it with me go "woah, you're driving a computer around", but I'm guessing this admittedly cool looking feature will not integrate well into pre-existing car models.

Now I'm sure some of you are thinking "what about a firmware update or something?". Yeah, sadly, I've already had a few instances or two where such a question has been asked, and when it comes to this stuff it just doesn't seem like car companies are too keen on aftermarket changes like that :/ . Sad though, because my car is so new and I would have loved to get this feature running on it (as it is the in car voice commands/siri access has a shaky haphazrd relationship in my vehicle).
 
i think ive only seen that on the ford fiesta if i recall or maybe a low end GM car, they call it bring your own gps or something, basically you provide your iphone as the brains and they just have a display
