And just like that - the USB port stopped working...

I've only had this M440i for one month. Love the car but for the past few days the USB port where the cup holders are stopped working and it doesn't show up in i-Drive. Tried everything but no luck.

I haven't tried the Type C USB yet inside the armrest as I don't have one loaded with all my music. I will try that next.

Anybody with the same problem and how to fix that short of taking it in?

I'll check that too. But upon a search it seems it's happened in other bimmers and it wasn't the fuse. Everything else works fine, it's just the USB port so I doubt there's a fuse just for that. But I'll check anyway.

Red face electrical

If you can't figure out the issue you may want to take it in if it's still under warranty, feel like these guys have electrical issues often. saw this article where you could maybe even lemon it if the issue keeps happening idk. Just a thought. Better to not deal with the headache if it's repetitive.

OK I got the problem resolved 2 weeks ago but forgot to post. It was quite simple at least this time. I reset the i-Drive by holding the radio volume button down for 30 seconds and when it came back on it recognized the USB again. The problem was that whatever I stuck in the USB port wasn't being recognized even though the port itself was fine. So it ended up being an i-Drive issue more than the port itself. I hope it doesn't happen again but so far it's been fine.

In what state was the vehicle in when you reset the i-Drive? Was the vehicle in stand by or engine running?
