Interested to see where this is supposed to wire up to for power. Obviously im sure you can find any 12v source but more interested where its supposed to tie into.

please keep us informed on how it goes and where you tap in. Really want to tackle this once you have the part numbers!

ah nvm i just opened the link you add from F30 forum. Didn't realize it simply just plugs into the back of the NBT unit. I have already disconnected the center console enhanced usb thing in search for more storage space. also curious how much the cable cost from BMW as it's freaking $50 on eBay! yikes.

I had a spare cable already so didn't need to buy that. I'll put up pictures later including part numbers of the trim piece and USB socket

So I installed the center console USB port and connected it to the USB2 connector on the back of the nbt evo head unit and it doesn't work

Further reading suggests that the USB2 connection has limited functionality on MY2017 cars onward. To get the full functionality I need to connect to the USB1 hub. At the moment I have no idea where that's located.

Does it at least charge? What were you hoping for? Full playback functionality or something different?

Isn?t usb1 where the USB port in center console is plugged into? I thought usb 2 was we?re the enhanced usb center console would have been plugged into.

Bump, Trying to add this second USB, even if its only for charging.

From what I understand theres limitation on 2017 year model, so before that it should work? What parts should I buy Cable, Trim, and USB piece? Parts number? Thanks!

Part no. 51459389628

I've priced this up with bmw and they advised Ł22.72 which suggests it wont have the usb port attached to it. Can anyone help identifying the correct part number needed for the panel and the USB port. The alternative is to fit the USB port to the glovebox but i would prefer the centre console option.
This part doesn't exist on us Bmw part sites. Where did you source it from?

Finally found both parts on getbmwparts and ordered them. The trim piece didn't show up cuz it was for RHD vehicles. Ordered them both and will be adding myself a second charging port in a couple weeks

Usb socket: 84-10-9-237-656

Lower trim with slot for USB port: 51-45-9-389-629

Ok so it would seem the part number for the usb socket is wrong. I'm guess it's the part that goes into the center console and not designed to fit in the new lower trim. So back to the investigation. Weird thing is the part number is from the guy who already did it. Soooo ya confused.

The part also doesn't come with the cable that connects to the back of the head unit too

Charging a second phone. I don't like using the cigarette light cuz I drive a 2014 vehicle and even Hyundai's come with more than 1 USB lol. Plus I don't like have to open the drawer to get access to the cigarette lighter. I use it as a shelf go store things.

Plus I'm having intermittent issues keeping a solid connection when trying to charge due to the faulty NBT unit that BMW won't replace just for a bad usb unless I wanna pay outfight.

Ok think I found the piece I need just looking for confirmation from Jason at getbmwparts. It looks like it should slip right into the mount.

Ok ladies and gents. Success can be reported. The part has arrived and it looks like pictures above with the correct US part number which is the one from the pics above. Not sure what happened when I put that part number in. I was a bit confused as I asked the guy which part number that baggy was for. Well turns out it's for the usb socket. Only issue now is the CIC cable I got doesn't fit properly. But I'm not returning it and will just dremel off one of the prongs and it should lock into place just fine. I just hope the other side fits into the back of the NBT unit.

Keep us update on the result, thanks in advance.

Out of curiosity, are we able to enable enhanced Bluetooth function thru coding? I did that on my previous F30, not sure if it work on x5 as well
