If you retrofitted 6NR like myself and bypassed the need for the cradle then your only way to use plugin is with the 6NR cable from BMW only problem is its Iphone 4 connector and not the 5. The beginning of the thread talks about what everything supports.

What you're saying contradicts everything I know about the various media connection options, which is:
6FL: MULF-based USB. Y cable required for iProducts, or else you can use a thumb drive formatted FAT32. No video. Doesn't require iDrive.
6NR: Combox based. No Y cable required at all, uses a USB-only solution. video, bmw apps, etc etc.
What setup are you talking about that supports video over a Y cable? As far as I'm aware, the TCU has nothing at all to do with USB.
