I believe both the USB port in the glovebox and the AUX-IN in the armrest come standard in an x5 e70.

The glovebox USB port is only for importing songs onto the hard drive from a USB stick - it's not for an iPod or iPhone.

The AUX-IN in the armrest is for connecting an external audio source e.g. an MP3 player.

Adding the 6FL option gives you a second USB port in the armrest next to the AUX-IN. This is for connecting a USB stick or iPod/iPhone, and gives you the ability to control the device via iDrive. A special BMW iPod "Y" cable is required for an iPod/iPhone to be recognised as a supported device.
