It appears BMW has finally released a snap-in adapter that has Qi wireless charging... but I can't find any USA dealers that actually have one.

Has anybody actually seen this thing, or is it a unicorn?

I bought the 3 coils DIY QI module on Am@zon, and I custom made the pad out an old iPad leather case I had, the case had the same texture as the dash. It turned out to be better than expected.

Ya know I used this wonderful thing called Google Translate....and magically I can read German instructions from BMW. It works great so no need to worry about not understanding steps.

There was a new M3 on the showroom floor today and I noticed it had the wireless charging option on the window so I popped open the center console and checked it out. It looks just like any other snap-in.

Just got a car last week and have the wireless charging but didn't really get a chance to figure out a Qi Solution for the iPhone 7 plus. Looks like BMW made a case for the iphone 6 plus but things changed with the 7 and the location of things. Of course BMW will probably get to it in 2018 after the iphone 8 is released.
Also, the way the wireless charging is done in the 7 series seems different than the 3 series. I'm not even sure if the 7 plus with qi case will fit. Really brilliant on BMW's part.

Here is a couple pictures of the wireless charging snap-in on 2017 M3.

It looks like a snap-in, but it's hard wired.

The German parts site did have a snap-in adapter with Qi listed about a year and a half ago, but I was unable to find it and it's no longer on their site.

The part # is 84212412369. I've googled it and found many listings, but it's never in stock.

If I'd been able to find it before I ordered my 440i that was delivered in June, 2017, I wouldn't have spent the $500 to get wireless charging in the new car.

I installed my own as well:

The have finally realised that the snap in adapters were shit and offered something useful

[Uriavita]

Wow, it seems cool, please where can I get this wireless charger? I want to install one for my 2018 F30, can be charged for my iPhone 8?

Thanks for your help, is it charged quickly? Does it support fast charging?

[Uriavita]

Could you send me the link? I think it will fit my 320i, I need this kind of wireless charger to install for my 320i, where can I find this? Amazon or eBay?

I realize that one plug still free (below arm rest console) after instal the wireless charge, this free cable is for what?

Maybe we can use this additional entrance to plug an additional USB PORT (maybe using 6111925854 ), as the wireless charge is not using the DATA functionality of USB port of NBT.

Anyone tried ? Or know something about it ?


My poor German makes me understand it from below image :
“USB-Leitung (2), Stiftgehäuse 4-pol BL, klapperfrei befestigen (wird nicht mehr benötigt).”
