Just wanted to get some ideas of what wireless charging options your are using in Pre-LCI cars and preferably for plus size phones (iPhone 11 Pro Max)

Ideally in an OEM style rather than something that is aftermarket kind of look, pictures would be appreciated

TIA

BMW sells BMW Natural Air Interior fragrance starter kit

Personally no fresheners are allowed in my cars but following this thread now to see what others use.

With regards to the phone, I have carplay and the phone is either in my pocket or in the armrest.

Thanks, I've seen the BMW one but the reviews seem really mixed

Ah yes CarPlay is an option I am looking at but in the meantime need to solution as I am not sure what I will do that.

I'm using MOUS magnetic vent mount and their carbon iPhone X case.

For fragrance I only use leather magic cleaner and conditioner for my leather seats, gives an awesome leathery smell that lasts for a month or two!

Hands down the best Leather products that I have tried this far.

If you want they have a leather fragrance as well that you can squirt under the seats for added smell.

For phone, Belkin Cup Holder mount. Also use the Mous magnetic mount in the wifes Tiguan.

Any car scent will have mixed reviews as smell is highly subjective.
I was recommended California Cherry scent tubs but hated it - way too sweet. Took the bits out of the tub and hid one under my neighbours door mat. Covers up the smell from garbage bags left outside her door (yep, lazy cow)
Instead I was looking for a new car smell and bought this one from Chemical Guys - it's the closest I've been to what I was after, really nice.

Although mainly good reviews, some people judge the smell as it comes out of the bottle - leave it to settle for a day and it's subtle and very pleasant.
Rather than cherry or other fruity smells, it could be mistaken for a natural car smell.

For phone mount, have a look here: https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1700063



I also used the Kenu airframe (which was brilliant), but wanted wireless charging. This one is not very intrusive, cables can be easily hidden (mostly). After a few weeks use I have no complaints - phone charging fast and the automatic tensioners are brilliant

BMW air vent freshener, and oem wireless charger in the armrest


Current fragrance I have is the brown one. Everlasting Oud

Rennline phone mount, extremely pleased with it.

DC outlet air purifier (secentless) with dual USB ports, plus a bamboo filter bag hanging behind driver side head rest. I've found the combination of these eliminate the diesel smell from the inside of the car.

BMW natural air freshener for me. Fits nice and neatly in the air vent and fragrances seem to last a while without being over powering.

Got a magnetic mount for my phone but thinking of ditching it as it gets in the way of the idrive screen a little due to the size of the phone. Was thinking of installing a wireless charger and just have the phone either in arm rest or by the cup holders.

I use Stripper Scent, although it’s been renamed ‘Signature Scent’ now in a more pc move! Lol! Smells great and surprisingly receives compliments from wife and other females that travel in the car!

Phone mount? Mine goes in the armrest.

Air freshener - BMW Natural Air - had it as a freebie after a service at Rybrook's and I've been using it since, nice non overpowering scent & not bad looking in the car.

[GOF_430d]

I too use the Kenu airframe and the BMW airfreshener, the latter I bought with the car and have never changed the scent cartridge - though being a convertible the roof is down as often as I can once the sun comes out and the air temp is above 14C, so any scent produced goes straight out.

[TattooedYorkie]

California Scents Coronado Cherry (been using them for over a decade) - 1 tin dropped in the rear passenger footwell, lasts months with the air freshner vent opened just a fraction. They're not to everyone's liking but I always get positive comments from passengers.
Phone - wireless charger in the armrest.

Same here -

Air freshener - BMW Natural Air looks the part , not massive and in the way does work better when heaters are on obvs.

No phone holder - Stays just behind the cup holders on small shelf, everything through IDrive.

[GOWRIN]

Thanks all for the replies, I might give the BMW Natural Air a go. But please do keep suggesting as if this does not work I would like to have a look at other options

And the wireless charger in the armrest, how does an iPhone 11 Pro Max look like in there. If anyone has a picture that would be appreciated and does it fit okay. I think it was circa £130ish for that, anyone got it for cheaper?

Thanks

It doesn't fit. Price you pay for using a tablet for a phone.

Haha damn BMW! The search goes on...
Have been just putting it by the front cup holders, seen a few wireless options for there. Any OEM retrofits and has anyone done it on here?

My mate fitted both into his 330e. Look awesome.
Just waiting for mine to turn up.

The best phone mount by far has gotta be this one?!

Or you can retrofit this wireless charger for £40 odd.

The Rennline mount has been perfect for me so far. I think you'll like it.
