I confirmed this with a USB multimeter. It's also in the manual that you can't use the USB port for charging because it doesn't have the amperage.

WHAT phone can play music through USB without ALSO charging at the same time? By saying you can't use it for charging, you are also making it impossible to use the device to play music through USB. Dumbest thing I've ever seen in a manual!
BMW should be providing us with a recall for this issue, or should be compensating us for the lack of functionality given that we paid EXTRA for Enhanced USB. Period.
