How many USB ports?

nepats81 · 07-31-2020, 10:13 AM

My f32 had 2. One in armrest and one near cup holders.

My 2018 f82 zcp seems to only have 1 in the armrest. Is that right? I also seem to have a big cigarette power source under the glovebox?

Sound right?

I have two. One in front of the cup holders and one in the armrest.

I've noticed that in some pictures. I'd love to have that extra USB port above the cupholders.

Does anyone know if that panel can be installed on an earlier 2018?

TIA.

Search for “6NS” and how to enable a second USB port.

So what's weird is in my F82 2016 M4 I only have a USB port in the armrest. Only a 12V DC port in the cup holder area. Our 2018 X3 has a USB port in the cup holder and center console/armrest.

The second USB port is part of the Wireless Charging option.

My mistake, second USB port is part of the Wireless Charging option.

Regardless, you can add a second USB port by either adding the OEM USB hub or enabling the second USB port at the back of the OEM HU. If you do hub and OEM HU ports then you can have 3 USB ports -armrest, under radio, and glovebox locations.
