It gives you any functions that you would get by hooking it up by USB. This would be for media playback or BMW apps. Additionally, as you mentioned, it charges the phone, and uses some inductive-repeater function thingy (I've read, not seen) that allows the phone to use the vehicle external antenna.

For the snap-in adapter it doesn't need any software but like I said, it doesn't do anything additional that you would get by connecting via USB, and everything that currently goes over bluetooth stays over bluetooth. It's just a better way of stowing the phone.
