Will I be able to run this through the socket on the dash of my 2017 Rallye.

Yes if the max current draw is 5A or less, but I doubt that it is.

No you won’t
Need to connect it directly to the battery with an additional cable
I use my Ctek fly lead which stays in place and a Ctek cigarette lighter cable

Why would you want to pump air through an electrical socket ?

To balance out that stupid oxygen free copper that people get sooo excited about these days.
To be absolutly certain why not try it!
Pump your rear tyre up to full pressure as the load will increase slightly on the motor as the tyre gets up towards max pressure which is when your pump/canbus may give up the ghost if it's a bit maginal.
No point in waiting until you are parked at the roadside with a flat tyre to find that it doesn't work.

From the Airman web-site: Maximum Power Draw 10amps
I have one AND a fused ciggy lighter socket straight to the battery.
Or buy a din to battery clamp adapter, that way if bikermate gets puncture he can use his battery to run airpump.

I have that pump and I was at the roadside on Sunday... and the pump worked for all of about one second!

The airman pump works great but it won’t run off the dash socket, first thing I tried when I got mine
I think the canbus is 5amp rated but someone will confirm. I connected an old style charger lead directly to the battery and fitted the male to the pump. These are cheap as chips and can be solder free clip in style.
Connecting to the battery is a doddle as the negative goes straight on the accessible battery connection and the live on the remote connection behind the side panel.
I have the airman too and a great bit of kit.

I tried too on Saturday, same result. I've ended up cutting the connector off leaving a short length of cable attached to it with bullet connectors and adding crocodile clips to the pump cable. Again with bullet connectors so I can swap back should I wish.
Did you run the engine whilst trying it ? I have the Airman (great pump I also have an Optimate lead from the battery and an adaptor I plug the Airman in to so I am going straight to the battery but I have wondered as the plug on the Airman is adjustable to fit in the Bmw socket .

Yes I did, the canbus is not even close to providing enough juice for the airman, it doesn’t even try
