Here's my quick take based on all the above posts. Hopefully those who have the equipment can confirm. When I order my X3 I'll be ordering with 6NR and want to make sure I order the correct combination of options and accessories.

It sounds like there are 3 levels of functionality and you must pair the correct snap in adapter with the option you have in your car.

Basic - use your phone, charge and external antenna
Music (6NF) - Adds ability to play music from your iPhone or MP3
Media (6NR) - Adds apps, plugins (not even sure what this gives you), and video playback

It sounds like if you have a basic snap in adapter (which sounds to be the only one available now) you're only going to get basic functionality even if you have 6NF or 6NR. You need the Music or Media adapter to get that level of functionality, respectively. From one of the above posts it says that the Music adapter is coming in March. And the Media adapter hasn't been released (at least not here in the States).
