The issue has always been overheating with previous-gen iPhones and some Androids when using BMW’s wireless charger.
The difference is that this is the first time that BMW’s wireless charger has reportedly been “killing” the actual NFC chip inside the iPhone 15. Thus, Apple Pay and CarKey no longer work, even after a full reset. The only fix is a replacement iPhone.
I’m still using my iPhone 14 Pro Max and Google Pixel 6 Pro with 2 BMWs with wireless charging and NFC works fine despite both occasionally displaying a “charging paused” message due to overheating. Not sure what changed internally on the 15 to cause NFC to actually die when it overheats as both Apple and BMW haven’t responded to comment yet.
