2nd USB port??

Just got my 2018 F80 brand new. Even my old F30 had 2 USB ports built into the car - one in the glove box and another armrest console. The manual for the F80 says there is the standard one in the armrest console but that there is another just above the ashtray on the center console? It's not there? what am I missing?

There is no Wireless Charging option in your car.

I too was initially confused because I had seen the extra USB on the center stack trim cover (below the Climate control) on some F3x. There's a F30 thread discussing this:
https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1501853

Its a pretty easy mod to add an extra USB either at the center stack or glove box. BMW defaults the current to 500mA which is a pretty slow charge rate but you can code it and increase it to a 2A rate.

I ended up just getting a plug in for the lighter - problem solved.
