    I guess I fundamentally misunderstand what’s going on here…

    If you want to use your phone hands free thtough the info-tainment system, it kind of NEEDS to have access to your calls, contacts, and texts, yeah?

      It should be able to access them from your phone instead of the cell service.

      Using the word ‘intercepts’ makes it sound like they’re doing the latter, although that may not be the case.
