A new Lexus concept vehicle features headrest mounted iPhone docks for easy viewing and charging.
"The LF-Ch has four sport seats that feature trim lighting along the cushion's edge for cabin illumination. Rear passengers can enjoy headrest-mounted iPhone docking capability for audio and video entertainment. In addition, the LF-Ch has storage in the rear seat armrests for small items such as iPods®, PDAs and cell phones."
So they expect the iPhone, iPod Touch dimension specs not to change in the lifespan of the car?? From the pics, you couldn't just replace the headrests. Their molded in. Seems like a big risk. Cool, but I'd be pissed if I owned a Lexus and suddenly couldn't upgrade to the newest iPhone because it would no longer fit.
Seeeing this is still a concept, I think they just wanted to see how the idea would appeal to consumers. I'm sure they'd be wise enough not to put this exact system in production vehicles.
A very smart design though.
