Just got a comment on the YouTube channel regarding where I would connect my phone to charge / use, and while I have photos to share there is no uploading of photos possible on YouTube's text-only comments. So I made this thread to answer the question.
I have a marine-grade Powerlet 12V socket which I wired directly to the battery bypassing the CAN-BUS network. To this setup I added a removable dual USB adapter plug, this enabling me to use the socket as a straight 12V socket or use the USB adapter to power/charge up to 2 USB devices.
Being a Powerlet 12V socket it is a little more expensive than the eBay stuff at $24.95 (Model ASO-002) but I am sure would be much cheaper than a BMW version of this accessory, if they offered one.
Hope this answered the question.
