I'm assuming that it will integrate the address book in one's smartphone with the car's sat/nav, as well as play any MP3 files stored in the phone as well.

I'd rather just use my phone... I have it mounted right next to the radio via proclip. I HATE APPLE MAPS! I would never use them. Seems lame to me, but whatever floats yer boat.
Unfortunately, I could see it only being on the higher level nav unit. But, that's just a pessimistic guess.Do you think apple car play will only be available on top of the line R's with DCC and Nav? Or will us base model people get this awesome feature in our 2016's? I know no one knows the real answer, but any educated guesses??
