Hi Guys does anyone have solution for which fuse controls the USB socket on F36 Gran coupe? Not listed on the useful guide? The cigarette lighter socket in the ashtray does not seem to work I’ve checked fuses 62 69 162 back and front all appear ok however the socket under the glovebox is working.... very strange! Many thanks
