Did we pay $150 (list) for nothing? Why should we buy the iphone4 adapter since it evidently has no function other than charging the phone (music/phone functions come through bluetooth). I've asked my Dealer to query BMW on this situation.
6NF gives you the ability to listen to music on your iPhone when it's in its cradle if the cradle is a snap-in media adaptor. Without 6NF the cradle is only for charging and signal boost. It is absolutely not worth getting 6NF and a snap-in media adaptor solely for this feature IMO but if it's something you'll do a lot, then maybe it's worthwhile. Most people will get 6NF to support 6NR but that is not exclusively what it's for
