iPhone 4s set up via BT for phone only
iPod separately docked in the pouch and connected to the USB port via the standard Mac cable

Can anyone see a benefit to me docking the phone? It seems like it would be a PITA to remove the case each time and dock it. Right now things are pretty easy. I hop in and the BT pairs fine. I leave the iPod in the car and I can navigate those tracks fine via the radio.
Some minor arguments exist for me, mainly I would not mind getting out of the car with a fully charged phone, and not having to toggle on/off Bluetooth which outside the car would shorten the battery life if I forget to turn it off.

I have your setup (stripper; no NAV and no combox) and wonder if it works to use the Iphone BT connection for phone functionality and between calls with the same Iphone connected via USB cable to play stored music?

Another question on your setup: is your IPod charged through the standard (white? or Y-cable?) MAC USB cable
