E70 X5 (2011) 40D - recently bought but has problems!

[DensionThis]

So realised after having bought it that:

- The front cigarette lighter does not work

- The Speakers sound crackly when any audio is played through the USB cable. I have tried changing the cables and used different iphones but it still sounds crackly. All other audio via Bluetooth and radio sounds absolutely fine.

Obviously taking the car back to get it sorted but any idea what might the cost be to get this repaired if it still wasn't under warranty and it could be?

Many thanks

Are you sure the socket doesn't work? what have you tried in it? some BMW ones are a slightly different shape and various USB chargers do not make the correct contact - alternatively double check the fuses - it's not always obvious which fuse it is!

Indeed check the fuse, blew the cigar lighter on my wife's 120d, no idea which fuse it was, even the dealer had to plug it into the diagnostics machine to work it out. Best of luck with the X5 I've got a E70 3.0d pre LCI model which I've had for 4 years now.

it only takes a coin to touch that cigarette socket and the fuse is blown

google your cars fusebox layout and you will find an image ive just tried
