No, as the other forum member replied, you need to buy Enhanced Bluetooth and Wireless charging option. (this also adds the enabling of Wireless Hotspot)..
Warns you if you leave phone in car too It's quite useful for longer drives, wireless charging is slow... quicker to use standard USB cable

There a USB charger socket in the cup holder wireless charging bay, and another under the arm rest storage. You get a high amp dual USB charger which sits in the cigarette lighter socket, stays hidden when you close the door. I can take pictures if needed.
I did order the extra charger sockets options so yours may be different. Also two sockets at rear for passengers Last edited by jedpause; 03-08-2017 at 01:14 PM.. |

Has anyone used a wireless adapter with a 6/6s/7 plus? Does it fit in the bay?

Good to know. She has a 7 which I assume also can't wirelessly charge without an adapter. What's Apple playing at?

7 Plus JUST fits in exactly without any case/protector on it... so if you add a wireless charging case to it, it won't fit

In Czech Republic u pay for it. It is around 100 EUR I think.
If you choose the display key or order packet innovation you must take it too. (because you usually place the key on wireless charging spot so it charges during the drive and without it you would have not option how to charge the key) |

Which Apple charging case/adapter did you get? I've seen the thin adapters that sit between the case and phone and it's thin connectors slip into the lightning slot so they say is invisible. Any good? Interested to hear experiences.

Is there not a wireless key charging dock in the centre console as standard? I was told by the live chat person on the bmw website that it comes with one!
Charging the key via usb cable is going to be a real pain!! |

And typically BMW is not fast with this sort of stuff, if they would even decide to implement MFi on existing models... Last edited by Renalt130; 09-03-2017 at 06:23 AM.. |
