Wireless chargers are good backup if you don’t have a cord, but hardwire is still the way to go, faster charge, can charge while the phone is being used in your hands and etc. I have a 20W plug for my 12V and it charges the phone so fast it makes the wireless charger in my 440 seem ancient. Great video tho as usual😃👍🏽
I think it's personal preference. Wireless can fast charge too, and I prefer not having the wire dangling around my car. Besides, you shouldn't be using the phone while driving
Love the videos, I have leased a 528, 550i, 550xi and now leasing a 440i GC. I am stoked that I stumbled upon your youtube. I am a BMW lifer. I appreciate all that you do, excellent content. I am now a big fan of your content and have family members that also own BMW's and will recommend.
It looks like the tray cover is attached tot the console piece, so I doubt it unless I'm missing something having watched both this video and the one on the company's website.
@@TheAfterPein the lid on the pre LCI models is not attached on the console, you put it on top of the cup holders and then you remove it to use the cup holders, so the question was if you can reuse the same lid with this mod
Definitely not fast charge compatible. It's a slow charge, but it's convenient. Also, if you use iPhone, it won't work well. Apple added that Circular Magnet in back of their phones for the MagSafe wireless chargers and that interferes with wireless charging like this. I learned this the hard way AFTER installing the mod. But, passengers that use older iPhones or Android phones get to use it. 😅
2 problems: 1) Wireless charging is slow especially if you have a phone cover as most do. 2) Phones get bigger every year so within a few years your phone cant fit flat in the charging space making it useless.
I did this mod on a 2017 F30 last year, and it seems that it doesn't work all the time on newer iPhones thanks to apple's magnet on the back of the phone.
Great vid as always! Brian that "proximity sensor" do you know if it also controls the TPMS function? It "looks" a lot like it and I can't find mine on a F82.
This is something I might to get now. I have the redline with my a mag safe charger to it. Any idea what I should use the redline thing even after buying that?
Love it. I bought my G20 M340 during the chip shortage, and wireless charging wasn’t an option I could add. Do you see this coming for the G-series cars?
I am on the same boat with my 430i. I love I can use my phone to start my car or the card. But, I would love to use the wireless feature. I bought a wireless adapter and put it in the console as a wireless for the meantime till I can do this to my g22. Hopefully, I’ll still be able to use the phone and/or card to turn on the car without my key. Makes it easier for me when I go lakes or beaches.
I'm a bit confused by their compatibility list. I have a 2016 F30 328i, and they cut off at 2015... but they support the 320i up to 2019. I thought the 320 and 328 were essentially the same console design, so not sure why the 328 support doesn't go to 2019
Didn’t they change from the 328 to 330 between 2015-2016? That’s when the change from 335i to 340i happened. Maybe there was some overlap in 2016 and this company’s spec sheet didn’t capture that. I assume it would work in your car.
When new cars are introduced to the market, the model year is always released in the preceding year. The 2016 328i LCI was released in 2015 with the 2016 model year. Difference between 330i and 328i is primarily due to one using the b48 engine vs the n20. There was overlap when the newer b48 was introduced.
Yeah, the price is a bit steep. I have a Chinese wireless charger that replaces the pad in the cubby area. It ran me $80 and worked well, until my phone got a bit too large for it. Now it slides off easily and the phone doesn't hit that "sweet spot" for charging. I was interested in this, but not at 2.5 times the price
This video came with perfect timing, just purchased my first BMW , picking up tomorrow!
Congrats 👏🏾
Congrats on the new ride 👌Welcome to the bimmer fam
Im picking on this wednesday🫣
Ever since I bought my car, I've been waiting for something like this to come out. I'm almost surprised it took so long for somebody to produce it.

THIS is what we (F30 owners) need!

Awesome upgrade, now if they could make one with heated/cooled cup holders AND the wireless charging!!
Nice upgrade! The question is, is it compatible with the original “cup holder tray cover” of the pre LCI models?
I'm guessing not because the cupholders space is smaller, also I'm pretty sure Bryan would show a cleaner look with the lid on

Well done yall!
Thank you 😭 you have no idea how ugly that cord looks in my interior
What’s the charging rate? Doesn’t specify on their site either..
That cool new look,nothing to read into it, I appreciate how easy you make it look but speak in laymen’s terms
This is nice retrofit that is really useful
Please do them for the UK RHD market!
Sad there's no RHD version of this console, would have loved to retrofit that to Japan spec F30.
Supra seats in the f80 ? D;
Anyone know if it’s fast charging compatible and what the wattage is?
Definitely not fast charge compatible. It's a slow charge, but it's convenient. Also, if you use iPhone, it won't work well.

I Love the Production of the Intro!! 😂
Would you consider transferring the knee pad over? Or is it just not possible?
Brian where can I get carbon fiber trim pieces for my F33?
Brian ever talk about his forearm tattoo??
Great review, great video and excellent upgrade! Thanks guys!
2 problems:
1) Wireless charging is slow especially if you have a phone cover as most do.

i only need the cabel for going between 12v socket
link ?
Why are the F31 always left out :D
The same product also fits in F31;)
Nice seats, can't wait for the video 😛.

What is the max size of iPhone this will accommodate?
🤣🤣🤣 sent that phone flying - relatable for sure
Great vid as always!

Good, I like that.I have a 2016 bmw 4cyl twin turbo. Can that wireless charger work on my car?.
Need this for RHD!!!!
Would love this but it is LHD only!
i feel like the only thing that bothers me is for the M's it seems like you lose that leather piece on the left.
I believe you should be able to transfer it over just a couple of plastic clips behind it
Need one for my G20
Hopefully soon!
Will this charge through a UAG cover and when is the right hand drive options coming out?
Will this work in a f31 pre-lci?
Hi, any chance they make one for a r/h drive car?
this is a game changer
Tell us about that shift knob
we have some options on our website!
Yoooo yes sir 🙌 the future is now
what is the output W on these? There are no info at the website at all. It could be wireless charging but if it is like 5W it will be so slow.
This is something I might to get now. I have the redline with my a mag safe charger to it. Any idea what I should use the redline thing even after buying that?

Hey how do you get that kicks but shifter
does this work on f31s?
Is the cupholder size the same?
That intro reminds me of my dad losing his cool 😂😂
Also, just me or does the quality of this video seem higher than normal?
What about f22?
Is it a fast charger? Whats the charging wattage?
What type of seats are this?!!

Your car must be a 2015, as Harix said lci came in 2016 and that replaced the 328 with the 330
@@KurumaDesigns not sure what you're suggesting, but I promise you my car is a 2016 328i

Hi! Is there any suitable for f16?
Unfortunately it doesn't ship to Brazil 😢
What seats do you have in your F80 now?
Waiting to see what will be available for the G26 soon!
As for the other mention… Isaiah 6:8
where can i get one in Canada?
the supra seats tho 😳😳
Great video as always, any chance they make one for the G20?
Hopefully in the near future!
Good mod, do you make one for the 2 series coupe?
Hopefully in the near future!
Is it fast charging ?
What happened to the carbon bucket seats you installed from the wrecked g80 M3?
The bucket seats are no more on Red
$30 fast charge cigarette lighter cable at target. No instillation needed
Please, link for the gear's shift knob
We have options on our website!
But you lose the cup holder cover and if ur LCI you can’t transfer the cover
sacrifices were made
Sadly that little leather piece from OE part is gone.
no RHD :-(
Are the planning on making one for the F22/F87?
Hopefully in the near future!
Would this be compatible with an F36 model?? My console seems to be the same!
Should be compatible with the F36!
You have this for the f10 f11?
Unfortunately not at this time
What is that shift knob? 👀
we have some options on our website
It is working with f36 2016?
it should!
What about f87? :(
hopefully in the near future!
It is working for f31 2017?
it should!
Will this go on an F33?
it should!
Does this work for f83?
it should!
It’s all fun and games until your xdrive N55 is launched control from the dig and your Note20 flies into the back seat. Yep, been there several times.
👌🏻👌🏻
For $200 I’ll continue to use the wire
