Overview

USB-C charging, hidden behind the factory ashtray lid.

The Rendition E39 Front USB Charging Module replaces the factory ashtray with dual USB-C ports while retaining the original wood trim and lid. Open it when you need power; close it to keep the factory appearance.

Choose the version with a voltmeter to keep an eye on your vehicle's electrical system voltage, or keep the panel simple with charging only. The carbon fiber-infused housing fits the original ashtray location, so you gain useful charging without leaving a plug-in adapter on display.

works great

fits perfect, works good. if you get one with a voltmeter, you will need to splice some wires from the telephone electrical harness. theres about 3 wires that are powered when ignition on. i used the purple/white wire

Thanks for sharing your install experience! Glad it fits well and works as it should. Nice to put that ashtray space to use.

voltmeter stays on with car off

fitment is great and wiring is really seamless but the suggested cigarette lighter wiring causes the voltmeter to stay on constantly.
I tried finding other wires to splice into that is only ignition on, but those seem to turn off after some time.

i wish i got the outlet without voltmeter, the LED display will be a drain on the battery over time

Thanks for the feedback! You can wire the voltmeter to an ignition-switched power source so it turns off with the key. Its power draw is very low, approximately 0.02W, but switched power is the way to go if you want it completely off when parked. If you need a hand with the wiring, email us at [support@renditioncustom.com]

Product works great, no install instructions though

The charging module fits snug into the place where the ashtray was and charges rapid. Connecting it to the cigarette lighter power was relatively easy but requires soldering. As said in the title, install instructions would've been a nice to have. Overall a doable install without any required knowledge, just the ability to search the web.

BMW E39 Front USB

Fits and works very well!

Really glad to hear the BMW E39 Front USB fits perfectly and works great. Appreciate the support.

Perfect fit...

Beautiful design and perfect fit. Never got the battery voltage meter to light up but the chargers work fine. Should have tested before screwing everything back together! This is a must for e39s.
