The main benefit I see to this is that the longer Apple cable is more useful if you have an iPhone and want to leave it out and accessible for using apps, making calls, etc. The Apple cable is thin enough and long enough to route out of the center console. It also charges the iPod/iPhone.

Sucks we don't have that. The Y-cable is a pain, always need to be concerned about squishing it and it also gets in the way.
