New 330e

Picked up my new 330e. Brilliant 200 mile drive home. I have 4 questions:
1. What amp setting in the car should I use with the granny cable and 3 pin socket?
2. What is the charging socket in the armrest storage box for? It’s too small for a USB.
3. Can you send a destination to the car from your phone?
4. Can you personalise the news feeds like you can in the G30?

Thanks in advance!

The schuko adapter that you likely get with the car tops out at 10 Amps as that is likely what you can safely draw from 1,5mm2 wiring in your house.

If you set the car to 16A, the adapter will limit to 10 while on public 7,6 KW AC chargers, you get top speed...

Mine is always set at 16.

Do make sure though that you power brick indeed limits. If not, you will blow your home fuse

100% charge this morning showing a range of 33kms. I'm not going to climatise as that would drop it to 20kms. 33kms or 20 miles isn't overly impressive or is it?

Als, when I came home yesterday at 6.15pm and plugged the charger in, it started charging even though I have it set on the app to charge during the night (11pm - 8am). Did I do something wrong?

I had the very same problem today! Everyday it’s scheduled but today it started immediately. Today morning I plugged it at work and set to charge immediately but in the evening it was setup to scheduled and didn’t work. It seemed to fix it updating to immediately and then scheduled at connected app...

It does do that but if you wait a minute it should stop if you've set a time window.
