Naturally you will require a dongle to fuel up, it won't be compatible with any industry standard, legacy, systems.
Just by looking at the pictures of the drivers position, it's not hard to see which design/layout makes sense and which one is more "form over function" especially with the data/controls at the bottom of the display on the Tesla.
I had google maps going, but wanted to listen to fm radio. Everytime Google Maps had something to say, the radio stopped and whatever music is on my iPhone started to play with the Google Maps talking on top of that. Then it wouldn't switch back to FM.
It was a terrible system.
