Yes, mechanical damage can cause a little trouble. The reason your last adapter was hard to unplug is because the damaged part is a lock and you likely didn't press on the right spot to unlock it. Hence the damage.
At this point, get a decent flashlight, climb into the footwell, and observe the insertion directly to verify.
I personally think it's the USB-C interface that doesn't work in Bimmercode on either Android or iPad Pro — has not (yet) been proven to work in past testing on either hardware, I believe.

Trust me - I did that... I don't want to force too much either risking to damage the port. But at the same time, I don't see myself going to the dealer with the cable asking him to plug it.
I'm due for service in November... maybe I'll wait until then to see if they'll try to plug their system there as well. Or just try again.
I'll keep you all informed either way. |
I think you should try again. Go in with a blade to clean up the lock plastic damage a little and then observe insertion. Not crazy force, but a little firm.
I wanted to make sure that all your populated socket pins were still the same as mine (nothing got pulled out) and they are. Also, your metal contacts all look fine as well (and notice that they are flat, not round, hence the comment about flat pins on the cable male pins — double check that). Here is my car connector.
