Are one of the cables in the harness we disconnected an antenna to the fin? If so can I tap that for my MiFi that has antenna jacks?

Yes, I believe the black connector is the antenna. Not sure if it would improve your mifi much though.

Incase anyone is wondering, the process is just as simple on the MY2017 cars with the wireless charging cradle. Just ripped that POS out of my M3.
If anything, its easier, as there are only 2 cables instead of 3.

At first I was turned off by the lack of storage space, but now I'm beginning to love it because it forces me to keep the essentials only (glasses, phone, emergency glass hammer). It was embarrassing cleaning out my E92 console when I traded it in for the F32.
I was also one of the rare people who LOVED the dashboard cup holders in the E92. No sticky nasty mess of spare change and congealed soft drink to deal with - everything felt clean all the time. I even had a friend break one at one point but I still loved that design. I miss it.

The more I think about this, the more I think I can come up with a better option that is less expensive.
Combine that rubber mat, but also with this wireless charger that can tap directly off the 12v of that outlet for the rear passengers! Yah.. I see a plan coming together! Wireless charger as well https://www.ecstuning.com/b-inbay-pa...240000-03~iby/ I have been looking at the official charging pad that goes into that space, and while both my local dealerships say the LCI charging pad WILL NOT WORK, I have one reseller that says it will. Now that said, its $250+... well that cover plus the charging pad is $80! My only question now is if there is enough room between that rubber cover and the base for the wireless pad to sit seamlessly. |

picked up my 2017 340 build last week and should have ordered it with wireless charging. the usb isn't for charging and basically keeps whatever level the phone has and is used for data transfer. so charging it only done via the 12v cig light cable and that is messy and not nice and clean when i could have just dropped my samsung s7 into the wireless charger there securely and been done with it, nice and tidy.
so, if there is an option for adding wireless charging that is not too intrusive i'm all for it!! |

do keep me posted on your progress with the other alternative. i wouldn't mind paying the $250 if i find the connector and that it is hot and i can implement a completely OEM solution. |

https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=84_1038 https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=84_0887 i think the latter is for car phone use and the one i need is the former. so part number 84106840126? also saw that a few dealers and ECS has them under $200 which is a nice bonus. |

side note.. this is the plate undwer the arm rest right? it has the sliding plate to provide tension to keep the phone in place? If so, could you do me a favor? Could you please measure the maximum length of space? I don't know if my Samsung S8+ will fit.
