the heat, radio, etc is part of the car, it would be hard to implement a rule to deal with that. But with an external device there's more that can go wrong. If there is a screen lock you have to do that, if you want to change to a different song then it's harder than pressing a button or the steering wheel or a simple button or turn knob built into the car.
allowing ipods and such similar would open to worse potential than heat and car built in radio. Ipods allow you to search for music/select certain albums/artists and so on. This takes your mind off driving more than the built in car functions.
So your point is not really valid. The car stuff was designed for easy change while driving, an external item is not.
