You can get any of those products with a different MP3 player as well.

Not correct.
The way the car systems work is this... Manufacturers make the car stereo with the ability to hook an iPod to it with the PROPRIETARY iPod connector. Why is this needed? Because it allows the stereo to control the iPod without seeing the iPod... it acts like a disc changer. The plug in cable is installed in the glove compartment so you can hook in the iPod and close it away. The car stereo then, not only controls the iPod, it displays the track information as well.
The BMW install, for example, lets the driver change tracks with the controls on the steering wheel. Others through the head unit, steering wheel or remote control. Again, choices galore.
