Those settings are per-device, and you're not required to enable everything that the device supports if you don't care to use it. But if you enable Audio on a device and subsequently plug it into your dock/USB connector, the Audio option is unchecked automatically for that specific device. Then when you're done using the device plugged in, you just go back and re-enable it just for that device. But for example you could have your device plugged in and still use Bluetooth audio to pull music from a SEPARATE device at the same time.
I see now. Doesn't look like I'll be that situation (I hope!). My car is the only place I will use BT for the iPhone, and all audio should be handled via Media cradle + 6NR.
