USB port in glove box....what for??

Just picked up the new car.

Figured out nearly everything.

Figured out I need a new Ycable to play video from my iPhone4...I think.

However...I thought this thing comes with Mission Control?

Does it?

Does it have something to do with the USB port in the glove box? If not...what's it for?

Thanks!
Gene

Do you have nav? The new '11 nav is updated via USB, and that must be what the glove box port is for. If you don't - not sure if it can be used for anything else?

Yep..... in 2011 visual boost /nav system that's the port for software upgrades... It doesn't work with anything else (so no ipod/usb sticks will work in that port)

That's sad...I was hoping I could throw a hard drive in there. :(
