Business Advanced Media Package - I'm confused...

...but that doesn't take much to be honest. And I've been meaning to ask for ages. I'm just a little hazy on what I will and won't be able to do with it and my iPhone 3GS. I know there are various threads about this but I just wanted an answer all in one place

When I spec'd the car up on the UK configurator prior to ordering I went for the Business Advanced Package which is the cheaper of the two on offer. The other being Professional and with the larger screen. I did not choose the USB socket thing if that's at all relevant. Now the picture that always accompanies my media package always shows an iPhone resting in some sort of dock in the arm rest.
- Does this mean the phone will be charging?
- Using the cars antenna?
- Will I be able to play music from my phone through the car's system?
- Some other question that escapes me right now?

Ta in advance.

It will certainly charge and use the car's antenna.

Not sure you'll be able to play music though.

Cheers krell.

So if the phone is physically connecting to the media package via the dock surely the package should pick up media stored on the phone? Alternatively if the dock is in fact a 'dumb' charger (but it uses the car's antenna for calls???) and the phone connects to the h/u via Bluetooth surely I can play media that way?

I'm just confused by the cars/the packages capabilities. Playing media stored on the phone isn't vital, I'm just used to it with my current Nokia car kit set up. I added the package mainly for the nav but the other stuff would be nice.
