How to code USB Charging Amps?
So I found a guide on how to increase the amps for the center console usb port but it does not look the same as my bimmercode app. I have the full paid version but do not see the option to increase usb charge amp. Has anyone done this on a 435i GC? If so can you post the steps you took?

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't a higher amperage usb port connected more directly to the car battery and the lower ones are going through the infotainment system?

The main limitation on how much current the USB can deliver is probably the gauge of the wire connected to it. BMW doesn't use heavier wire than it has to on any of the electronics, as it all adds up to a lot of weight. I very much doubt there's any way to increase the available current to the USB. If there is you run the risk of overloading the wire, which can have very undesirable results.
