Android Auto Help

Hello all,

looking to purchase a used 2018 E63s just getting mixed messages all around, car does not have a USB in front near cup holder, so am i to assume 2018 never came with it?
can it be retrofitted or not worth the hassle?

thanks

Hard to believe there isn't one in the center console box. My 2019 has one.

to be clear, my USB plug and wireless charging are inside the flip up cover on the dashboard, not actually in the cup holder itself, just 6" in front of cup holder.
