Small USB Cable That Comes With Vehicle
What is this for, looks too short to be for a phone and doesn't fit our iphones.
Thx

Thanks, I do, but I don't see a place for it to go into the key.

IDrive 7 uses usb c connection so they give you a free adapter for standard usb a.

Thanks, I am familiar with the normal USB part of the cable, but what is the other end for?

That looks like a mini or micro usb. If micro for the display key. I had something like that for my dash cam. Did you order the display key or another bmw accessory?

thx Yes have the display key but haven't used it nor taken off the plastic yet b/c it's quite large. Maybe when I remove the plastic I'll be able to find the port.

Given I have a Pixel 3 that supposedly is not supported I was planning on going with the credit card style digital key from BMW but was pleasantly surprised that the 2020 M850i came with standard keys. Actually voiced the pleasure out loud with my SA and he said he thinks BMW is going to kill off the display key as nobody likes them given the stupid size. I'm guessing okay for a woman with a purse but for us guys its stupidly large for our pants pockets. For me I have my cell phone in the left pocket and car key along with my small bill fold money clip in the right pocket. Couldn't figure out how the hell I'd fit the display key along with the bill fold money clip in the right pocket. My 2020 didn't come with a credit card digital key so still planning on getting one when I finally take the car in for the first service. I may never use it sine I have the standard key which works well in the right pocket but figured might as well have a digital key nonetheless. |

Should have added in my year plus research before ordering my M850i the only value of the display key is the Parking Assistant Plus feature that you can have the car pull in or out of a parking space while you stand outside of the car. Not sure if anyone will use it as if the space is that tight there is high probability of door dings galore from the cars your sandwiching it between.

The display key is no longer part of the 2020's so only the 2019's will have it. Interestingly enough Noushy confirmed they are part of the M8's and likely now to separate some luxury/exclusiveness between them and the M850i's like anyone will care as the M8 is superior in several ways already.
For the 2020 M850i's the NFC credit card key is an option but for whatever reason they don't come with the package. Just need to pick one up from your dealer. |
