I also use the port on my 07 e70 exclusively for usb stick mp3s. I dont use it for ipod control at all. back in 07, the usb port did not come standard for sure, but then again, there was no internal hard drive as well...

so:

To anyone reading this post:
-Do you have a 09+ e70?
-Do you have a USB port next to the aux input in the center console?
-Do you have a USB port in the glove box?
-Did you order 6fl/USB?
-Did you order the Tech option or the Nav option?

THANKS!
