Wireless charging not working or simply removed?
Hello all,
I got a week 47 (2022) build G80 and although I have the wireless charging logo in my phone tray and the phone gets cooked every time I put it there, it just doesn't charge. I'm taking the car for break-in service tomorrow and was wondering if it's a defect or the wireless charging was just removed, because I wasn't told anything about it. I have Premium package, but I don't see it in the 2022 configurator, so excuse my ignorance. I don't care about the useless option, I just want the $ credit if applicable Thanks. |

Check your phone tray and see which icon that you have.
I also thought I have the wireless charging option initially. But I just got a smart key card detect tray (right pic). If you have wireless charging option. You should also have a LED indicator when charging (left pic). |

My SA never mentioned it was removed, I bet he didn't know. It doesn't show up as a standard equipment or optional on the current configurator... do you know if it was standard at some point? I could swear I saw it either as standard or in the premium package. |

Likely you do not have it… I have same issue (G82CX 2022). Was expecting it but got deleted due chip shortage I believe.

I looked up the spec sheet with my SA today and it turns out it was a standalone option I hadn't selected... I could have sworn it was somewhere in the specs.
Thanks for your input! |

Btw the picture posted for the charger is wrong - yours will look the same as your current one but have a battery symbol inside the card reader nfc symbol and a blue led on the side closer to you that lights up when you place your phone. Plus…during CarPlay your phone will obviously show it's charging. Here's a link to the retrofit thread Wireless charging retrofit https://g80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1875559 |
