ipod question

Hello

question for the experts ... with the option "USB audio interface" if I plug an ipod can I use the iDrive controller to select the various directories of the ipod?
or should I take the option "iPod interface" (cable in the glove box)

thank you in advance for your answers.

USB audio interface = ipod in center console with the ipod y-cable, you can see what's playing on idrive and select songs/artist/playlists on idrive.

so best option I think because usb audio is standard (at least on my 35d)
