3. Shopping Lists -- where do I need to go to shop, car items, groceries, whatever
4. Lookup facts when parked via the web and other content -- more and more people are mobile and an auxiliary touchscreen would be useful for a variety of reasons.
5. I would use an OBD scanner app & HW, but already own a handheld scanner
6. Bluetooth integration for limited phone use -- 5th Gen has it already
All these things and more should display from an iPhone (or other smart device like Android, etc.) on an bigger OEM Camaro touchscreen. Because GM has no option for this, folks are sticking iPads in their cars, but the mounts I have seen are a bit kludgy, even if they do work...
Would love to see more tech integration engineered-in, rather than an afterthought via aftermarket integration...

I am sorry but what happened to writing your shopping list on a sheet of paper? Lightweight, economical and does not need batteries.
