Good morning from Athens Greece. I just bought a new X2 with OS9. I have a usb stick with many songs inside. I tried to plug it with adaptor to my car and it cannot connect with it and I don’t see any folder etc.

Can you please help me what to do? Is there any solution?

The USB C Ports support charging only. There are no data connections on the newer cars. there were on the original ones.

I do not have to do anything.
I am also not sure if you can check your privacy settings to allow external device (if there is any)

Your car shows the symbols for data as well as charging on the sockets. Later vehicles only have the charging icon, and there’s no physical data wire connected underneath. It’s just mean-spirited penny pinching by BMW.

What does the data wire get connected to?

In cars with USB data there’s a USB controller, which (I presume) connects to one of the vehicle data buses. There’s photos of this on the forum, somewhere.

I’m sure that in cars with power only usb ports that controller will be omitted.
