Anyone look into swapping out the old center console for the new one? Fingers crossed this is possible.. Didn't find a thread on this yet. Thanks in advance!
I just picked up a 2021 M3P on 2/27 and I don't know if this has been said or not but there are no longer any USB's in the front console.
Yes it has been done. Someone posted retrofit instructions/costs on the forum last week. Use the search function.
Be very careful, the authorization unit that reads the key cards is within the console. A replacement costs a fortune because it contains that unit, and if you switch without having a tech reprogram it you'll be stranded. Daerik has a video on Youtube about such a replacement. Listen to that video carefully first.
Only found a thread where a guy said he paid ~$900 and "swapped the card reader". If anyone has instructions, photos or experiences swapping the console, please post them here. - What happens to USB ports? - Is card reader physically swappable or must be reprogrammed? cheers
Is the overall storage smaller than the older one? I keep a full size 9mm in mine and hate for the space to be smaller and not fit.
