Snap-in for iPhone

Hi all,
When I collected my car last friday, the dealer advised they have the iPhone snap in available for around £80.

Couple of questions for the group here:

1) I understand that the features are charging and an ability to utilise the car's ariel. Does it also provide a connected interface to the iDrive/Prof Media system or is bluetooth still used for that?
2) Is there a cheaper provision by an aftermarket provider?

Thanks

If you have USB adaptor then I recommend using the White cable as it does exactly the same job, except for hooking up to car antenna.

Thx mate. I'll spend £3 on one of those short 9cm cables instead I think

shake and bake is right, that is the only difference.

I didn't realize that the USB connection does vertually everything else; maybe it wasn't a wise decision to buy it...but it looks sharp.
