Is there any way to be notified that you left your iPhone in the charger when leaving the car?

You are probably right. I tend to compare the FWD with convertibles. While both look cool and get the customer (me for one) into the showroom, once there, reason sets in and they drive out with a sedan. I am not an automotive engineer, but if a company can make a car where the whole roof comes...
