The new 6NL option does take care of that now in a single connection.

Thanks for clarifying Technic. So, the 6NF does present a distinct advantage in that regard, although I am not sure just how beneficial the integration with the sharkfin really is. The iPod hookup is really the most important part, which you still get with 6FL. Of course, like I said earlier, there is no 3G cradle yet for non-6NF cars, but presumably the one that come with the '09s with 6NF will fit even in the older cars. But then that cradle won't support music in a non-6NF car, at least not without some homebrew mods.
All in all, I think 6NF is probably worth $150, and I will likely spec it on my order.
