The new flashlight just slips into a recess and it has an LED bulb, so the battery will last a very long time. You don't have to worry about the orientation like the plug in version so it is handier to reinstall when your done using it. Not having a power outlet in the glove box is no big deal since all the aux/ipod connections are in the center console and there is an outlet there. I would have liked to have an outlet like in my 545 located on the left side of the passenger's seat at ankle level however.
