I asked my wife a few times if she wants to update to iOS 6 and she said no. And my old iPhone 3G can't update to anything.
Well- not ALL cars have built in GPS- many of the rentals I have had recently do not have a GPS at all (particularly AlfaRomeo and VW models I have seen absent of GPS)- and the ability to use my Ipad means I don't have to haul around the gear of an extra GPS.

Secondly- some of the maps in the cars are really outdated and are not easy to update. My car (although quite new) cannot even find my office nor my house accurately.
