For those that removed the wireless charging... do we know if that package bundled any additional features?

Obnoxiously, in my 2020 m340i, the Wireless Charging bundled Enhanced Bluetooth (6NS), which meant that I missed out on the additional microphone and some SMS dictation features.

It's only wireless.

Waiting on my Tanzanite M50!

I have the same wireless charger in my G01, and never had any issue. Also no issues during the full day I borrowed one m50.
Its an iPhoneXS.

New 2-series with clever phone charging and iDrive 8

This solution (12 min in the clip) will for sure be the next wireless charging solution upgrade in coming versions of BMW: Place for 2 phones in upright position facing driver and passenger, ”phone belt” and ventilation - and no usb charging port harassing. A bit later in the clip he says that...

www.i4talk.com

It would be a huge upgrade to have the new 2-series solution in i4 2023 model:
-space for 2 phones
-phone screens visible from driver and passengers
-phone belt
-wireless charging + ventilation
-two usb chargers in much better position

From what i think its a combination of using waze and charging at the same time (or any other heavu consuming pp ). I will try without using it and just charge. Because when i was using waze is charged slowly.

Indeed, wireless charging does not compensate the decharge when using android auto / apple car play (gps, gsm, bluetooth, wifi). No problem with usb + you can use the phone (most apps are not available on android auto)

I got myself wireless charging pad only because dealer was not sure if it is exactly like in normal 3/4 series that it's a prerequisite for Apple car key
But that will be the first option to be switched off (it's charging capabilities)
USB plugged in cable will also be a protect for any spilled liquids

Is that definitely possible? It comes as standard in the UK on the M50 but (at least on one test drive) roasts my phone so I would love to be able to turn it off if I can't resolve the issue.

I think it's not possible. I haven't found a setting in the car to turn it off anyway.

What a mess - in iDrive7 i read there was an option to switch this ----------- off (and I don't see it in iD8)
So only solution is to put 3-5mm rubber mat on the pad or put pho e downwards in order not to change

I was thinking about the same, but wondering if it would screw up apple car key as well

 

[linerjoe]

Or a thicker case. In the summer, I use a thicker case that has a mount in it for my motorcycle. No wireless charging with that case.

You forgot the...

...to prise the charging pad up 😖

 

[J_P]

If you have the USB charging cable in, then that should disable wireless charging in the phone.

Or you could fully disable wireless charging in the phone if you don't usually use it but I do a wireless charge every night so that solution is a bit of a pain for me.

Could be a rubber mat for me too...reminds me of my childhood 😔

 

[Goodie80]

I have wireless charging but started using the wire. The phone gets way too hot on wireless charging. I have a Flip3. Even though the hardware is similar to a S21 I can't use it as digital key. Ridiculous.

I had an i4 e40 for couple of hours to run a little bit of test drive. My phone S22 Ultra with Spigen gets so hot that charging stops. I was unable to use phone for couple of minutes due to internal temperature once removed from charging pad. This makes wireless charging useless.
I have never ever ever ever an issue with my A5 or A6 or any other car with wireless charging. I wonder if there is any option to add radiators under the charger to remove heat.
Also USB-A port instead of USB-C port in this area is weird setup :/
However, I did found Android Car wireless damn good. Easy access, Waze fully operational, spotify via Harman Kardon sounds really good.
My car is still not yet delivered, but I do like i4... Next time will take M50 for a ride

You’ve got to be kidding me! This is an issue in my 330, but I expected the transmission heat could have been contributing. If it’s still an issue in my i4, I’m going to make them keep replacing it until they fix the issue!

No problem with an iPhone 12 thus far.
