What Compatible USB Car Charger to Get for BMW X1?

Purchased a Tronsmart TS-CC4P 4 port USB car charger a couple of years ago. The charger works great no problems. Just that my parents upgraded there car to a BMW X1. Since then i've tested the charger and found it does not work in the mew car. Charger still works fine in my car.

Is there a good quality after market multi port USB caharger to get that is compatible with there new car or would I need to get the Official BMW one?

    Get a new car that is compatible with your charger.

      Agreed.

      Get a TOyota.

  • Is it a new or used X1?

    Have you tested the 12v socket to make sure it works?

    • Its a used model. I tested it with all three sockets. Front, centre and rear. None work with this charger.

        Do the sockets even work?
        How do you know they're not broken?

        It is just 12v electricity, there is no "compatability"

        • Not true,there are a couple different socket types.

        • @dheywood:

          Size a may fit in size b.

        • @dheywood: For a 12v port? I've only ever seen the one kind of 12v port even in new BMWs.

        if none of them work its possible a fuse is blown

        • Just read about that. Seems to be a common problem. I'll check the fuse tomorrow and see if it has blown.

    Probably something to do with the socket configuration (similar to the Roidmi - https://www.gearbest.com/blog/how-to/xiaomi-roidmi-bluetooth… ) - what does the inside of the X1's sockets look like?

    (I'd buy a X1 to check but the BMW dealer is closed now :D)

    Old German wiring. Why am I not surprised?

    • An X1 is old? That’s funny.

      • An X1 is old?

        The E84 came out in 2009. Carsales have listings of 2010 models. Some people may consider that old.

  • Didn't want to start a new thread but what charger should I get for my Rolls Royce? Surely it couldn't be too different to the one suitable for a low rent, bottom of the range BMW.

    • Why's your butler not taking care of this? Send him for a refresher course at RR's butler training facility.

    You wouldn’t have problem with great Japanese cars and Korean cars :)

  • All fixed now thanks.
