I have a USB stick with a LED light that flashes when it's active and it doesn't stop flashing even after the car is turned off.
BMW needs to fix this flaw. It's a hassle to unplug USB every time you park and this isn't a problem on non-BMW vehicles with USB.
It shouldn't be that difficult to set the USB port to power off either instantly with the ignition or better yet after 10 or 15 minutes of the engine being off.
any fix for this yet?
