Option 6NR also has very little benefit. So far the only published features are

− Access to social networks Facebook and Twitter in the vehicle.
− Stream web radio stations into the vehicle.
− Operation of music playback with the Apple iPhone user interface on the vehicle Control Display.

The first 2 features are useless. Who wants to twitter and make facebook posts while driving? Do we really need web radio? The car already has the option of sirius, mp3, hd radio, cd, streaming pandora. Apple user interface sounds cool but the current system works just fine.
