Has anyone tried to retrofit wireless charging?

Here in Brazil, we don't have the wireless charger enabled because of regulatory issues. I am thinking of disassembling the dashboard to see if the device is there, but simply unplugged.

Anyone had the courage of do this yet? If yes, how was the process? Tips?

Thanks!

it’s actually a common mod done in many vehicles. Really not that big of a deal.

What's the best way on the G20 M340i? I don't care if its OEM, so has anyone found an aftermarket pad that fits perfectly in either the standard spot or console?

i think the bigger problem will be the NFC chip in the tray that keeps activating my apple pay

It happened in all the cars I sat it before buying but hasn’t happened yet to the one I bought.

Fits perfectly? Doubt it but it doesn’t really have to. The best way is to take it all apart and cut / mount in a pad that fits then hard wire it.

If you can’t then any decent audio shop can.

Does anyone know what the NFC chip in that area is used for?

The digital key. You're supposed to put a digital key-enabled Android phone or the key card there to be able to start the car.
