Wireless Qi retrofit question
I'm looking to retrofit a wireless Qi charger in my e90 and surprisingly there aren't many examples that I could find. I was looking to change out the ash tray with the sunglasses holder and put the charger there. But my question is will an iPhone X fit in the sunglasses holder or is it too large? Does anyone have one they can check for me before I order one?

This is a (I think) 6S. Fits easily but not much room to spare.

Here's what I use - I got the case for my iPhone X and the vent mount version charger. It's the magcase and magmount qi

There's an OEM snap in adapter which is $240 Canadian from Germany, through the dealerships. It also boosts reception by connecting to the shark fin, while your phone is charging. (wirelessly charging and signal boost)
If you did an NBT evo retrofit plus this snap in... it would be state of the art and match the 7 series offerings in terms of tech. Here it is: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/show...diagId=03_4207 Last edited by The-Traveler; 03-04-2018 at 05:43 PM.. |

Does that cradle fit in an E90? Everything I found says it fits in the F cars but not the E90.
I just received my charger from ECS and it works but I need to find a place for it. I tried under the plastic shelf of the nav screen but the plastic is too thick to charge the phone. |

I ended up putting where the snap in adapter should go. It is under then rubber mat that is usually there and all I have to do is put the phone on top of the mat. Not quite as seamless as the snap in adapter but it will work for now. I was looking at doing something similar to the e70 X5 but there isn't a great place to put it that I can find.

My S8 with a Pitaka CF case sometimes has charging issues. The case is designed to be charged with all wireless charging pads. Maybe its the charger that I am using, but wifes iPhoneX charges just fine... So I was worried with case + another layer of rubber it would not charge, wirelessly.

Has anyone finished one of these? Is there enough room under the sunglass tray to fit a wireless charger? I assume I can just plug it into the cigarette lighter socket?
