While your concern is valid, I also tend to hope that engineers are lazy, and would not bother changing the communication protocol just for fun. So, I would think it is more likely that the new Nav system still uses ACP, than not.

Now, we just need to wait for some clues to become available, like an '08 wiring manual.
