Your right it will never happen, especially when BMW sells its own nav option.

The problem with doing one for Garmin, while its one of the best, it just doesnt have the following that the Ipod does, the ipod was a pretty safe bet (for one because alot of cars have them now) and secondly because its has more then half the market share for MP3 players.

Some people have 2-3 ipods, there are no where near as many Garmins out there. (also there are so many different kinds something universal would be hard Ipod UI's change really there is only one connection).

It is a nice wish though, if I didnt have the Idrive I would like it.
