This all forms part of the 6NR retrofit which is why I suggested it.

"Wiring the USB port to provide the same results" is what you have to do if you, like me, have no 6NF (media connection in your cradle) or no cradle at all. But you cannot use only the USB port, it will be a USB and AV cable (a Y cable) and this is because the video out on the iPhone needs a different connection to carry the video signal. The only solutions (to my knowledge) are 6NF + 6NR with a cradle direct pin connection, or if no 6NF, a 6NR retrofit and a Y cable.
Thats pretty good explanation to my question. Thanks to Shawn as well. Got the details I need.
