Car stereos which control apps via Bluetooth on my iPhone 5?

Looking for an aftermarket stereo with touchscreen control of iPhone 5 apps/music/phone calls, but I don't want to have to connect the phone cord each time ... Android can do it via Bluetooth, but I haven't found any radios which say they can do the same for iPhone.


Do they exist? If not, why not?


Thanks!!

What an interesting and unfriendly response. I thought in an Apple Community Technical forum someone might have some technical insight into why Apple products don't appear to be capable of this at this time, or whether they might have plans to add capability later. Since I linked here directly from the Apple official site, it isn't unreasonable to think some actual Apple employees might cruise this site.


At any rate, I didn't find an Alpine or Pioneer that allows touchscreen app control without hooking up the cord. I will read up on Carplay, but the Apple website seemed to indicate that a cord hookup is required.
