Successful retrofit of wireless charging pad

I just got a 2019 x5 that only had NFC above the cup holder.

I ordered this part:

You will also need:
- BimmerCode (I have an iPhone)
- OBD Reader (I used an OBDLink CX https://www.amazon.com/OBDLink-Bimme.../dp/B08NFLL3NT)


This wireless charger is apparently a newer version of the wireless charger and it works perfectly.

In terms of installing it, I just used a pry tool and insert it on the bottom right of the nfc pad. Once I managed to fit the tip of the pry tool in the gap and lift, slide up along the right side of the pad and it should just pop right off.

Unplug the cable to the nfc pad and plug it into the new wireless charging pad. Before installing the wireless charging pad, I would recommend you code the headunit first, enabling the wireless charging pad.

Using BimmerCode and your choice of obd reader, I just changed the following settings: (Make sure you back up before coding)

1. BDC -> WcaWirelessChargingAblage->WCA_ENABLE-> aktiv
2. HU_MGU -> 3000 HMI_SPEECH -> WCA -> aktic

Code the two changes into the car, restart the car and under car settings, you should see the wireless charger option. You can enable the 'phone left behind' reminder if you want.

Verify the phone is indeed charging on the wireless charger before installing. Insert the wireless charging pad into where the old nfc tag was located. For my, the small blue light was on the right of pad.
