Thanks j11398. We know the 6FL provides iDrive iPod control. However, we are just focusing on the first part about the USB in the glovebox for loading the HD. Some have posted they did not get a glovebox USB but did not clarify if they got nav (either stand alone or in Tech). This is what we are hoping to definitively flush out. It is looking more and more like the glovebox USB port does come (albeit undocumented) with nav.

I got the 6FL and I have a thumbdrive stick connected to center console USB port (easier to reach than the glove box), to keep that music separate from my HD. Every time I access that drive to listen to that music, iDrive gives me the option to download it. So, while that center console USB IS part of 6FL and can be used for iPods, it can also play additional thumbdrive sticks and appears to have HD download capabilities. My dealer told me to download from glovebox USB but it does appear either can be used to HD download.

So, we are still focused on getting a DEFINITIVE (not speculative) answer for Paspar2 about the glovebox USB if not ordering the 6FL. Yes, we all are speculating it comes with the Nav but we still do not know with 100% certainty.
