My X5 was built in early November and I took delivery at the end of November. I placed a NOCO Genius 5 smart charger on it and it took about 14 hours to go to the full solid green light. Meaning fully charged. Getting acquainted with the new car, I have spent a lot of time setting the car up, etc. Since then, it sometimes only takes an hour to be fully charged. Other times, it takes 12-18 hours.
I always charge it in the garage, hood open, doors unlocked.
So I don't think your car should be throwing out a warning like you show for having the hood open and doors unlocked, but who knows. The only warning I get is that the hood is open. My car has a 105 amp main battery in rear and a 60 amp auxiliary battery under hood.
