Charger won’t fit in front power outlet
Anyone else's charger not work in the front cigarette lighter outlet? It works in the back but not in the front. When I asked my buddy at the dealer, he said on the new ones BMW put that white ring around them and made them tighter. Reason being, people were trying to jam actual cigarette lighters in there and breaking them. I don't know how true that is but it sucks because I can use every other USB/USB-C outlet in the car but nothing quick charges. That's why I had the cigarette lighter adapter, once you go quick charge you never go back lol.

Same issue with my radar detector. It's a bit clunky but i can confirm this works as a work around:

Bumping this up.
Anyone have experience with this with the OEM charging station? I've seen two G20's not having the ability to get this to work in the front 12v (rear fits/works just fine). |

I had the same issue with the front 12v socket with several of my adapters, as it is too deep for certain adapters. I purchased this one, and it worked. Has a 30w USB-C and an 18w USB-A slot.

Just wanted to update on this, finally found a charger that works and has QC3.0 meaning it quick charges. Slim enough to fit and works great, even has an LED display.

I must have ordered and tried to fit 3 different USB chargers before realising there is an issue with the size of the front cigarette lighter port in the G20.
Same as others have found, they all work in the back but not in the front! |
