USB port in dashboard carpartment

Hi,

I notice that there is a USB port in the glove carpartment. I didnt order the USB interface. I tried hooking my phone and noticed that the power is being supplied to the USB port, but i dont think USB interface is working. Have anyone notice this as well? Is there way to retrofit the USB interface?

by "glove compartment" are you referring to the center console ?, if so all X6 come with the USB plug whether it's active and what it does depends on what options you have.

The USB port in the glove box is for downloading songs to the hardrive of the nav system. You must use a usb storage device though.
