Running the same apps on my F97 (ID6), wireless charging cant keep up. Driving the same 1000 miles, I had to plug the phone into the USB to keep a charge and stick it into the vent to keep it cool.
While the wireless charging feature includes a booster, its just not great all around in my experience on the G/F chassis with ID6. I installed one of these on my G01, and it works about as well as my OEM F97 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3296...77c74c4dEEpigi it fit perfect and was easy to install.
Given the option of specing and paying for wireless charging, I'd skip it anyway.
OP, consider yourself ahead (or even, considering you "paid" for it, though it was included). |
I installed one of these chargers from AliExpress on my car about 2 years ago. It has worked great ever since and fits perfect. Definitely worth the money, rather than paying the ridiculous amount they charge at BMW. I would recommend it if you wanted a wireless charging pad.
