How many ports will my 2014 M5 come with?

pillpusher84 · 06-23-2014, 12:52 AM

just 1 that I am aware of ... the glovebox usb port was removed once the NBT headunit was introduced.

All I recall is one in center console.

Has anyone tried using a USB hub?

I tried it in a different car. Haven't tried or needed to in this one.

just buy a cigarette plug usb charger with 2 port ... now you have 2 for charging and 1 for music in your center console.

problem solved

the glovebox one was only previously used for music transfer to internal hard drive and profile imports. both are useless for fast charging of any device ... so you still need a higher milliamp charger anyway.

My setup gives me 5 total the BMW one in the cup holder was given to me with the car. Have dual in the arm rest and a single in the back for any rear seat passengers.
