USB Output
Just out of interest any one know what the output of the USB socket in the armrest is in amps? I recently bought a new ecig that uses a USB charger and was wondering whether the socket has enough power the activate the bypass function

Did a Google search and found this info...not exactly sure if it's hard data tho?
The USB port is capable of supplying 100mA initially but can indicate it can supply a higher current after the device is plugged in.* The USB standard allows for 500ma to be taken from the USB connector and I'm sure the BMW is capable of supplying this. Some equipment likes to take more than this and this is likely to be a problem with the BMW (iPad & some Disk drives as an example). Additionally some equipment likes the data signals of the USB to be in certain states before they will charge.*

I honestly dont know exact outputs but I was using the car's USB to charge my iPhone and it would take forever to charge, I went and got a cigarette usb, with two outputs, and it charges my phone like if it was plugged into a wall charger. The car's usb is weak and mainly for streaming

Thanks for the input guys, I need 1 amp to activate the bypass... I think iPhone chargers are the same amp rating too
