BMW m340i Wireless Charging for iPhone
Curious as to whether anyone paid for a Wireless Phone Charger ($200) with this car and found a pad for charger and a ridiculous cupholder charger which has to connect to the USB. Why bother with the charging pad. I threw the cupholder charger inthe trash and bought an angled USB adapter and $16 fast charging pad which now sits on top of the built in "charging pad". Works just fine
BUT how is it that BMW is so pathetically backward with built in communications technology. The Japanese (spouse has a Honda with tech that actually works) do much better job - and actually thinking about it so do many of the US companies. Thankfully I can use CarPlay for all my needs (when the built in wireless actually works) which puts the BMW attempts for apps to shame.
Not sure how much longer I'll stick with BMW unless they get their act together and move into the 21st century.
