"Because those systems do have business being on the same bus."

No they don't. I can see that you might want a one way data signal from the ECU etc to the display system of the car, but there is no reason to have unrestricted bidirectional data flow.

I can't think of anything that would want to be displayed that couldn't be gathered from:

- A GPS receiver.

- A unidirectional stream (i.e. rev counter, TPS readings, error codes)

There is nothing that needs the radio to talk to the ECU.
