I would much prefer my car to have no IVI at all and instead just include a docking station for my phone.
My phone gets software updates and new capabilities much more quickly than auto manufactures update their products, not to mention that I upgrade my phone far more frequently than I upgrade my car.

I think that was the point of the quote :) . It's either an IVI system or a strip of velcro to stick your phone to (even without a dock to do better integration with).
