Where is the USB port in the BMW 5 Series?
1 Answers
The USB port in the BMW 5 Series is located in the center console (under the cover panel in front of the gear shift). Push the cover forward to open it, and the USB port will be visible once the cover is opened. The USB port can be used to connect a USB drive for playing music or to charge mobile devices. The specific steps to play music via USB in the BMW 5 Series are as follows: 1. Confirm the file format of the USB drive. The car's USB system does not support NTFS; commonly supported formats include FAT32. 2. The file system must be FAT or FAT32. If not, the USB drive must be reformatted to a supported file system. (Note: Formatting will erase all data on the USB drive, so be sure to back up important files before proceeding.) Right-click the USB drive, select 'Format,' and choose the appropriate file system. 3. Insert the USB drive into the car's USB port. 4. Press the MEDIA button. If the screen displays 'AUX IN,' press the MEDIA button again. 5. Play the songs stored on the USB drive.
