I have a car charger for my cell phone, but I am unable to use it in the passenger footwell power socket. It just does not connect to get power. If I push it over to one side it seems to get power, but as soon as I let go it is off again.

The power sockets in the rear work just fine with the same car charger.

Has anybody else had a problem like that?

Maybe I just have to add it to my list of things that don't work and have to get it fixed when I bring it in for my first service.

The other strange thing that happens 1 out of 2 times is that my driver window doesn't close all the way. I use the 1-button up feature. It rolls almost all the way up and then goes back down, like it noticed an obstruction. Only that there is no obstruction. I do it again and it closes just fine.

 

The power socket sounds like you might need help from your dealer. It should work the same as the others.

As far as the window problem, sometimes you need to reinitialize the anti-trapping mechanism.

The following will help you learn all about the windows, including how to re-initialize them:

Good luck!

 

Guys, just another question on the windows... Is there any way I can lock the front passenger window too ?(l don't think the lock switch works for the front passenger window)

 

Nope. As in most cars, the child lock-out function only affects the rear windows...

 

i remember that function locked all windows except the driver's before . i'm not talking about the e60, though.

 

Vielen Dank Rudy!

 

So you're saying it worked??
