2006 Z4

habals · 10-04-2015, 10:56 PM

I have a Business CD on 2006 Z4 (E85) model, with no CD changer.
I would like to install AUX and USB(for charging) port in the glovebox so that I can hide the Bluetooth Audio. I currently don't have any AUX installed.

I can see that I can use this to install AUX

However, I cannot find any instruction how to pull power line to USB port.
What would be the easiest way to do this?

-----------
Side question. My cigar jack drains power if something is plugged in, even when the engine is turned off. Is this a normal behavior?

Any comments appreciated.

You can use a dashcam power adapter and tap into the cigarette lighted lines. Should be an easy project.
