The Y cable was introduced with early 2011 models without the combox(album art capability), solely for the purpose of eliminating the need for an iphone cable and an aux cable. Hence, the Y design. When september production cars(2011.5) were rolling out with the combox installed(for album art), the Y cable was supplied but did not enable the album art to be shown. ONLY the apple ipod cable could trigger it. However, I have a mid september build car with the combox and my ipod integration with the apple cable is glitchy. Sometimes it connects, and sometimes it doesn't. The weather or outside temperature seems to have an effect on it at times. Still haven't been to the dealer yet. But with Y cable, it works everytime...just no album art.
Soooo, to sum up, bring both just in case your apple cable isn't consistent. But album art is def a nice touch and something you want to see in your new car!

Your Apple cable is defective.
