The supplier lists it under part number 9237656 and describes it as the right glove box USB interface plus wiring harness. Easy Life Markets sells it as one set for owners who want to replace a damaged glove box USB port, or add one to a car that left the factory without it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe idea is simple. The socket clips into a rectangular opening in the glove box, and the cable runs behind the dash to the car's own USB wiring. The supplier says the interface is a standard size with 4 pins. In the product photos the socket is a black housing with the USB symbol on its face and a metal spring clip to hold it in the panel, and the cable has a green connector at each end, one straight and one angled.

That is a broad statement, and we would treat it with care. BMW has used different head units, different USB wiring and different glove box mouldings across its model ranges, so please check your own car rather than relying on that line.

You unclip the old socket from the glove box, unplug it, and fit the new one in its place.

That is a permanent change to an interior panel, so measure twice. Mark the opening from the back of the socket rather than the face, cut it slightly small and file it out until the spring clip holds the socket firmly. You will also need a free USB input on the head unit, and on some cars that input has to be enabled in the vehicle's settings by a specialist. The supplier does not cover this, so check before you start cutting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisconnect the battery negative terminal before unplugging anything behind the dash.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse plastic trim tools on the glove box and dash panels.
