Then I had an idea how to implement this. So I went to a friend, and we developed our app "SMS Notification Forwarder", which implements my idea. Conclusion: It works 
First version of our app was just uploaded to the PlayStore and should be online in a few hours/days. The price of the app is about 5$.
How it works:
- it's a open-source SMS/MMS-app, which we use to add our features.
- the app has implemented an notification-listener, which catches WhatsApp-notifications and saves them to SMS database. Those are readable then from iDrive (and in every car/device which supports Bluetooth-MAP-profile).
- the app has to be the default SMS/MMS-client, and Notification-access has to be enabled for it to work (Android restriction).
- it only works on Android from 5.0 (iOS-development is not planned yet)
- it *doesn't* need root-access or similar
- there isn't any configurable options right now, the feature is enabled by default
The app is only working, if you already can read SMS in iDrive (so Combox is installed). This is a requirement!
Coming up:
- smiley-parser
- auto SMS-delete
- support for other apps
Like I already told, it's the first version, so there will be bugs. But we're continously improving the app.
We're open to inputs or new ideas

EDIT: App is now online: PlayStore |
Hi mate. Even the probability of seeing WhatsApp messages on my screen got me excited enough. I will have combox very soon. How will we do this with the "sms & notifications" application. can you give me some information please?
