Summarizing the thread 10/16: digital key is present but there is no wireless charging in model year 2022. There is no doubt about this.
—————————- I've 2021 X5 45e that I frequently use the digital key on since I don't want to carry multiple keys on me (my 2016 435i doesn't support it). It works great, 100% of the time. With my 2022 M4 on order, since no one is getting the wireless charger (which is where you place the phone to start the car), does it mean there is no digital key functionality for 2022? I've not been able to get much clarity on this searching the internet. It'd suck for 2022 to be a odd model year with 2023 possibly getting it back after chip shortages ease.

Out of curiosity, where do you place the phone to start the car? Is there a phone shaped slot where the wireless charger would have been?

Pretty sure wireless charging and digital key are independent of each other. Even the poster above said their 2021 doesn't have wireless charging and they can use the digital key.

The digital key works on NFC (which is how the door unlocks; and there's no wireless charger on the door handle obviously). For starting the car, all that's needed is an NFC reader. The wireless charger obviously had one, and the question was whether a NFC reader was available inside the car to provide digital key functionality when the wireless charger isn't preent. And the answer appears to be yes...

What about with base models? I'm fairly certain the digital key only works on the Comps, but I would love to be wrong.

So no one knows for sure. I’ve gotten so many opposite answers to this question. I guess we’ll wait until a MY22 gets into a customers hands

I asked a Genius this question when I was checking the status of my '22 order and she said that it'll have the Digital Key despite not having wireless charging. Digital Key uses NFC.

This is all Im hoping for. Wireless charging is garbage, for iPhone, anyway. Phone charges about 10% in an hour, and if youre using Waze or Maps, at the same time, you can barely touch the phone, by the time you get to your destination. It just gets stupid hot. Not to mention, heat is the number one battery killer, besides overcharging.

So it does appear wireless charging is not available on MY22...I guess there is not even a possibility that it will come back? Not sure why wireless charging would be singled out as the shortage.
