You can't. It is a known issue for BMW and engineers are working on a solution. |
So you can't uninstall the BMW Connected app as a temporary solution? |
It doesn't have anything to do with the BMW Connected app. The wireless charger in the X5 has NFC for digital key that you can't turn off. When iPhone gets near it thinks it's an ApplyPay reader and turns on ApplyPay. This has happened to me with my car and 3 others at the dealer that I was playing around with. No way to disable the NFC in the X5 and no way that I know of to disable NFC in the iPhone. Even if you don't have ApplePay set up, I've heard that it prompts you to set it up when the iPhone is placed on the wireless charger. |
I see. That makes perfect sense, is there no option to disable NFC on the iPhone? I haven't checked on my work phone since my personal one is Android. It sounds more like an Apple issue than a BMW one because a random NFC non-payment antenna should not activate a payment app. Perhaps Apple needs to add a way to disable NFC until you're in the app (Android can do this already) or fix the software so it doesn't activate their payment system if the NFC point isn't a payment terminal. I think there's fault on both sides unfortunately. Hopefully this gets fixed for everyone because I can see how it would be annoying.
