Why do you need a ipod cable for the usb? Can't you just use the one that comes with the ipod?

Is there an advantage to plug your ipod into the usb and the aux input?

I would guess that the BMW cable makes the car act like an iPod remote control and pulls track info from the iPod, uses the iPod for playback and the car's audio system for amplification (via the AUX socket).

I'll know better next Saturday when I pick up my new 530d Sport with the 6FL option.
