I just use the dongle with a thumb drive if I have to. All we need now is apple to put usb-c on their iPhones and all the iPads, not just pro. Lucky for the Europeans going after apple for changing their chargers versus universal.

Other than music, what are people using the USB port for in relation to data not charging?
Here's what I found regarding USB labeling requirements. https://usb.org/sites/default/files/...%20Session.pdf. Scroll down to page 15 where it shows the labeling requirements for USB 3.0 and above. So, in a nutshell, based on the labeling used on the USB ports in the BMW X5/X7 vehicles the ports are standard USB 2.0 or less. Definitely not 3.0 or above.
