Wireless charging retrofit

I just retrofitted wireless charging on my G80 M3 using part number 84-10-5-A1D-B18 (cost $150)

Literally took me 20 mins to fit, just need plastic trim removal tools, and a hex screwdriver, some photos:











Wireless charging and NFC both work. I tested my iPhone digital key start engine, and the credit card digital key start engine.

Just need to code in the forgot phone reminder via the Bimmercode app (for when you leave the phone on the charger), which I will do on the weekend.

Nice, good luck!

This is the thread I followed where I got the idea: https://g20.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1706558

There is a video that shows how to do the install (I never took out the complete cupholder, only disconnected one wire and was able to access the wireless charging tray after that)

I did the same thing as the OP. Worked like a charm and it doesn’t make my iPhone 13 Pro overly hot, just warm.

I bought mine from Schiedmann (Google it) - shipped to the UK.

They currently have it listed for 149.27 USD but it is showing out of stock

Does it work any better than the wireless charging that came already in my car?

Has anyone successfully coded the forgotten phone reminder with BimmerCode? I tried using the instructions on the G20 link but it’s different on the G80. Or at least it’s different on the latest software.

I have, I used the Advanced Coding section to do it.

Had to code the following 2 modules:

Body Domain Controller BDC > WcaWirelessChargingAblage 30D3 > WCA_ENABLE = aktiv
Headunit HU > HMI 3000 > WCA = aktiv

The actual sub-menu name may be different but if you search for "WCA" you should find the entry, it will be WCA_ENABLE in BDC and WCA in the HU module, both need to be set to aktiv.

Once done, within your iDrive you will see a new option in General Settings > Wireless Charging Tray > Phone reminder and you need to enable it.

Works perfectly.

Yes, Thank you! I think the sub menus are a little different which threw me off but the search worked perfectly. Retrofit complete. Thanks again.

i just took delivery yesterday, installed this retrofit. was easy. just required a torx T20 and microfiber cloth to protect the bits as you are pulling up the cup holders and disconnecting any wires.

digital key and wireless charging just worked.

went for a short test ride. iPhone 13 Pro with Apple silicon magsafe case. started out at 33% battery. Went on a 20 min ride. Phone was charging, i saw the green charging icon in the status bar. when i got back, phone was at 28% battery and almost too hot to touch. lol. what absolute garbage. i may just put back the original part, since i like the digital key, but the heat from charging seems like it can ruin the phone battery in the long term.

Thanks a lot for the detailed instructions.

Does this part work for an RHD as well? I'm in Australia.
