Centre console wireless charger
Time to upgrade my phone and it looks like the S21 Ultra is stupidly large, probably 2-3mm bigger with the slimmest case I can find than the wireless charger size above the cup holders
No the S21+ won't do as it has a way inferior screen resolution, worse than my S10+ which is also... I remember seeing a thread(s) here where people with some aliexpress wireless chargers that go in the center console under the armrest but can't find them there or on the forums, if someone can link them - found loads that go above the cup holders but ofc they won't fit with the OEM charger there. Don't want to lose the Android digital key functionality but it looks like BMW are killing it for android anyway since it expired and it won't let me extend it via connectedDrive either - one step forward and two steps back Last edited by sd_dracula; 01-15-2021 at 06:48 AM.. |

As for Digital Key it will be back for AA as the S21U will support the UWB feature that's in DK 3.0 |

Yes I agree the wireless charging is super slow and cable charges faster, maybe BMW have heard about fast wireless charging? iPhones don't exist to me so that option is a no go, had them in the past and didn't impress. |

Remember the G20 would have been conceived when the , no pun intended, current wireless charge speed would have been classed as fast, so perhaps the LCI will have faster charging, by which point cable will probably be even faster, so maybe look for a retrofit then or third party one now? I'm the same iPhone will always be an non option. |

There is hope apparently for non UWB cars, found an article that said Samsung are working with BMW for S21 plus/ultra using UWB but should still work for the plain S21 via nfc since that doesn't have UWB
