Does the iPhone already have this feature?

Out of curiosity, I docked my iPhone in my old Belkin iPod speaker set, and instantly, the screen lit up with a warning: "This accessory is not designed for use with iPhone and may interfere with radio communication. Would you like to enable airline mode?" -or something to that effect.

Not sure how a set of speakers could seriously impair the radio, I accepted the airline mode switch (which activated as promised). Needless to say, the speaker work fine with the iPhone.
