So she is.

Unless things have changed in iPhone 4 compared to 3G, the phone part
does not route out through the Dock. If she's using a BT solution,
that won't matter. But if she's using a phone adapter cord between
the iPhone and the car interface it does.

For the record, I ran my iPhone 3G through a Shure phone-adapter cord
to an extension and then into an add-on AUX input to the car factory
stereo and got quite acceptable audio results. I did not notice any
change in quality when I switched back to my iPod Classic and ran the
audio out through the dock connector to the same AUX input. (I'll see
if there is any noticeable difference with the iPod Touch I'm about to get.)

My car isn't as quite on the inside as it used to be, but it has a
very good (Bose) stereo.
