USB port stopped working - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

radeohedca · 03-08-2011, 10:37 AM

The USB port in my armrest has stopped working. I've tried various USB sticks AND my iPhone w/adapter which also used to work but no joy. The "AUX" icom in the NAV screen (Entertainment) is also greyed out.

Is there a particular fuse for the USB port ?
Any other ideas ?

Thanks.

How many threads do you have to make on the same issue??

Excuse the F$% out of me. I thought I would ask again since I never got any pertinent replies. It's not as though I've posted it all over the place. I had better go try to delete the first one so the forum police don't bust a cap in my @$$. There's always one in the bunch, isn't there !

FWIW:

I added a Bluetooth adapter and acquired a "Y" adapter cable to make the installation "plug and play" (little to no wiring required). I subsequently discovered that an optical cable on the original connector had to be moved over to one of the new connectors that plugged back into the radio.

It didn't occur to me until some months later that the loss of AUX happened right when I did the Bluetooth mod because I hadn't attempted to use the AUX for quite a while.

The adapter cable did not come with any instructions indicating the need to move the optical cable... I found this out later when I contacted the place in the UK where I got the Y cable from.

Hope this helps.
