I you select the 6FL option you can also control your IPod/IPhone from the arm rest and use it to directly play music through the stereo. In this case the files are not copied to the iDrive. I have not tried it but believe with this option you can control your IPod from the USB in the glove box. However, there is no earphone jack in the glovebox so there is no way to hear the IPod music through the stereo when connected in the glovebox. I believe the 6FL option updates the iDrive to enable control of the IPod and gives you a second USB connection next to the earphone jack.

+ if you then add the 'full' iphone kit you get the cradel in the arm rest which gives you the addition of inductive outside antenna connection and better quality music straight out of the iphone bottom socket. In addition you don't have to mess with leads and you have a phone holder.
