Apple makes no mention of VAG initial participation in its upcoming iOS 7 feature iOS in the Car. Also of note is that it won't be making an appearance until 2014.
A couple of questions;
Is it likely that current Volkswagen units would have powerful enough processing to support such technology (especially the new Discover series)?
Could an eventual software/firmware update to current units to make this possible? The new VW units already have fluid touchscreen movement and gesture capability.
This apple feature looks awesome and my worry is that if Volkswagen cannot incorporate this into it's brand new units it may be a while before they bother with new updates to become compatible (if they are at all interested for that matter). It seems unusual VAG would not be a participant given the partnership with Apple to bring out the iBeetle.
