The second forum member has no vehicle info (is this an X5 if so which model...e53 or e70 or f15?)...and is asking about a 12v socket in the center armrest. The e53 doesn't have a 12v socket in the armrest. There may be wiring there that carries 12v if the vehicle came with the oe BMW phone.

Are we all on the same page and talking about the same generation X5?

Perhaps center armrest is the wrong word, maybe he meant center console. There is a power/cigarette plug at the rear of the center console between the two cup holders.

Yes, now I'm confused as well. Which one we are talking about here. And are we talking about a cigarette lighter (front ashtray and in back console by rear HVAC vents) or are we talking about one of the power ports (one under glove box and 2 in the rear hatch area)?

I was talking about the one under the glove box.

Confusion started with the number 9 post.

Ditto...IM going to assume that the confusion is coming from BustedKnuckles. ..since they even questioned back in post 9 if the same model is being discussed (though they NEVER mention a model or model year).

They also discount the cigarette lighter in the center console next to the cupholders...which us e53 owners know well:
