can anyone explain why there's 2 different USB ports?

I have an iPod Classic (80GB) that I used on my previous car to store and play all of my music.

In my X1 I can attach the iPod to the USB port in front of the shifter and everything works fine. Playlists and album art are recognized, all good.

Unfortunately I'd like to keep the iPod connected all the time but leaving it out in the open connected to that port is just asking for a break in. An ideal solution would be to keep it connected to the 2nd USB port in the glovebox but unforunately that port doesn't act in the same way (only seems to be usable to import music).

So my question is if anyone can come up with a reason why the USB ports act differently? This would be pretty much unheard of on pretty much any computer system where all USB ports generally work universally.
