BMW, Mini to use iOS 4’s new iPod Out for music | iPodNN

BMW and its connected Mini label have taken advantage of updates in Apple’s iOS 4 to provide an easier way to navigate music on an iPhone or iPod touch. When attached, any iOS 4 device will put out an iPod-like menu on a car’s center dash display; anyone in the front cabin can steer playback from the car’s own controls rather than distract themselves with the touchscreen.

Apple has a killer “lock-in” scheme.  Making it’s UI universal and using users themselves as lock-in devices.
