while i would like wireless charging, i would use the cup holders more often
behind them there is another tray , maybe it fits there
@@QQuaeE Nope, behind there is a small "ash" tray.
Just get a wireless charging mount. Much better than this diy
@@Jry088 nah this is sick af, and prevents cluttered wires and crap
nothing is good enough unless you lost it
BMW finally gets cup holders correct after 100 years. We find a creative way to ruin it. 😂 still a very cool mod regardless 😂
🤦🏼♂️🤣🤣🤣
tbh I love the cupholders in my e90. the cups are out of the way and it reminds me to always get a small or medium... LOL I highly prefer my e90 cup holders to my f30 :(
@@dylan-nguyen my e34 cup holders which were a complete option to have is no bigger than a 12 oz can on anything that circumference
Bro you can’t even put polar pops in my f30 idk what you talking about 🤣
nope, I need that for my drinks.
CSGO kQ me too 🤷🏻♂️
lmao
Wow! Extremely detailed and you're not even a bit lazy!
Awesome I had the same idea for a my next car im going to get
Superb, smart work done..
Really make sense to watch ur video..
In my opionion this is one of the best videos about diy wireless charging. Thank you :)
Thank you!
Dude, you never fail to impress, well done!
Thanks, Ron!
Nice Retrofit Bro!
Well with this tutorial I can do this to any car! Great job, thank you 👍🏻
Thanks, David!
To fix your lightning port on your phone, try getting a pin or something thin like that and scrape out the inside of it. I had a similar problem and it sounds basic but mine had a load of compacted pocket lint at the bottom which was stopping the charger/ headphones getting a clean connection
Very nice DIY mate. 👍😉
As you went to the trouble of removing the whole trim why not fit the board under the front flap where the OEM wireless charger is fitted?
Epic! Totally doing this to my F30
Yeah man!
This was a really good video, gives me ideas for my E90 335i. Thanks!

@@NickGorkes thank you!
Thanks man!
Keep the vids coming bro 👍🏿
Thanks man! Will do!
I dunno if I’d call this an easy diy, but it’s cool regardless. Good job!
great video , respect from germany
Thanks, Alex! I appreciate the support!
Nice video thanks!
Just found your channel but you got a new subscriber keep up the content
Thanks man!
An e90 tutorial on this would be awesome 😿
Hi! just a tip for your phone, take a tweezer and remove the lint which has gotten stuck in your charging port.. This will help with your connection issue.. Love the DIY though!
I can pretty much do this to any car now thanks to you
Great job bro👍👍
Thanks man!
Folks complaining over your mod... SMH... You did an amazing job! I was happy for you when it worked at the end!
Hahaha thanks man!
Great idea, you just need to plan ahead when you do things like this, not exactly german engineering, haha...(I couldn't help it lol) Thanks a lot for the idea. I'll do the same on my E36 which has a storage area with free space underneath there along with the cigarette lighter plug.
did ?
Hi, can you please make a video on how to install RGB Led strips to the foot wells and hard wire it to the cigarette lighter. I have the same vehicle. Nice video.
Great idea, very professional explanation too
Thank you!
good job
Good work!
Thanks!
Wow that was awesome but a little past my comfort zone. I’d rather have an electronic specialist install this. I don’t have any of those tools (wire crimp, heat gun, etc)😳😳
But it looks great. What an awesome idea. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
How to do you have these headlight on 2012 BMW
Nice one. Though evidently the new tray now doesn't sit perfectly on the cupholders.
I was thinking he could have filled down the plastic in the cup holders too, shame!
nice DIY video
Thanks!
Great video
Thanks!
NICE WORK
Thank you!
well done
Very cool but pretty difficult for me to undertake but dope regardless
Great video man. Your confidence in presentation is really shinning through!
Thanks Matthew!! Only took me two years to get comfortable behind the camera 😅
Smart guy!
Great cheap solution, just an idea for upgrade if possible repalce the velcro with a magnet tipe contactor connected to the 12 v cable underneath so then when you need to use the cup holder the wireless charging pad can be completely removable.. just an idea.. overall really like the video and all the implementation
Good idea! Thanks!
Very nice work🔥 now, any ideas for a 2006 e90 🤔
JD bro, this was simply sick! I can’t believe these people are throwing so much hate in the comments. Putting your phone in the center console is so lame and definitely difficult to access! Please keep changing the game sir!
Hahaha thanks, Alex! Finally, someone that understands.
Wow. An insane ammout of work for that
This is actually pretty dope
Thanks!
Forsure! I hope to do something similar on my e92.
Smart man !!!!👌👌👌💯😉
Thanks!!
great video
Thanks Nour!
You can pull up the center console. And splice it into the pad. Hardwire it
Mad cool
Thanks man!
Take a thumb tack or paperclip and scrape out of the lint from your charging port on your phone. I had the same problem, turns out, that port collects lint every time you slide it into your pocket
I'll give it a shot. Thanks!
Jackson Shrader was literally looking for a comment to recommend him to do this cuz i had the same idea!! But yea clean up the port its actually a common problem
Great job. I need to do this for my e39 M5. Dont use the cup holders anyways, they suck.
Hell yeah
EXCELLENT.
Thanks!
Use a small rubber grommet to finish the hole drilled for the cord. Should clean it up nicely
Good idea!
Dope!
Thanks!
Hey jd the reason why your charger port has play in it us because your have debris inside the port use a paper clip and take out all the dust that has accumulated
Only thing I didn't like was the velcro, if you were going to drill through the cup holder assembly you may as well trim down the tops of the cup holder to fit the circuit (or move the charging circuit into the cup hold and leave the induction above, you would need to extend the cables)
I like the idea if you dont need use the cup holders.
So where do you keep your Super Slushie now?
Nice :)
Thanks!
Do you think I can fit that tray in my e90 ashtray cigarette?
this is sick
Thanks Shumile! I'm a huge fan of your channel... I've watched tons of your F30 videos. Lmk if you're down to collaborate.. dm me --> @jd.cars
JD Cars bro im totally down, been watching your vids for a while myself, i love them. Lets talk soon
Awesome
Thanks!
10 months later. But I think the best thing you could do with that hole in the cupholder, is to put some sort of rubber grommet to keep it as sleek as possible but also to make the hole smaller.
Do one for a BMW e61 please.
Nice hack👌🏼
Thanks man!
Hello there, nice expalanation dude.. please tell me what kind of Smartphone that you can charging, or all of them?
Almost any smartphone is compatible... as long as it fits in the tray.
nice job, can you add a wireless charging port to the rear?
Potentially yeah!
I’m buying a 2006 330xi but the nav screen doesn’t work. Do you know if the aux will still work if you can’t access the nav screen?
Maybe.. I’m not sure though
On the center piece, there's a 12 volt cigarette lighter connector and a simple antenna which identifies your car key. Theres no lights there. I work for bmw and I assemble the center console ;)
Is their enough plastic on the back to file the back of the tray down so it will be flush like the original?
I don't think so :/
i approve this message
That’s fu..Ing cool!!!
Thanks! Stay tuned... we have an even cooler version coming soon!
I'm going to try it on my E60
Sweet!
On my F30 I have a wireless charging phone cradle with the BMW ExactFit Magnetic phone mount (from rennline). That way I don't cover any airflow or cup holders and my phone is facing me. Useful for navigation. The only drawback is that it obscures the heat seater button from the passenger and the very short wire to power the charger from the cigarette lighter is kind of cumbersome.
Maybe I'll reroute the cable. Still a useful video for learning about taking off those trim pieces.
Drop the red or white el wire inside the cup or around the holder and it will make that gap interesting
Nevermind you did splice into it. Goodjob
Hahaha
I think de hot of the motherboard in chargin process and the glue can be a problem, because the resistances are so hot. You don't have problems with this?
Could it not be installed under the tray in front of the cup holders so you still have cup holders?
Unforuntately, no. I am going to explore other options though.
Wow this is cool , I think this on wrangler would be cool
Thanks Jay! It would be so cool to do this on the Wrangler
where you put your cups?
I did this in my Cruze up in the dash over a year ago... But it get too hot it's a Cruze thing
Can this be done on an e90?
Here's a crazy idea... How about installing the wireless charging unit under the centre console. Near the rear. You keep the cup holders and could always place a thin rubber / vinyl cut out piece the size of the phone to stop it sliding off
Hi, I bought the kit you recommend, but doing tests before install, but after a few minutes it heats up almost to the limit of not being able to take the phone.
Do you have this problem? How you solved it.
Thanks
I have not experienced any major heat issues
Why not shave down the cup holder dividers so it still sits flush and hot glue some magnetic strips to the sides of the tray and cup holders
12:50 : otherwise, cut a lot of useless wire of the converter, keep 10 cm of it and sold it on cigaret lighter connexions.
But nice video :)
May try it on my e39 msport 530d
Hand gestures are like chris fix haha
Hahaha
we cant fit it in the armrest place?
Noyce. Now do one for E90 installs, please.
could this cause fire?
Wait how come you didn’t you just make this the same way BMW does inside the arm rest console?
Only for f30? It’s possible for bmw f10 manual gear?
Maybe!
nice full option bmw f30
Thank you!
I had the same issue with my charging port. Turns out there was a pretty significant amount of lint packed tightly in there which prevented my cable from connecting properly. I used a safety pin to get it out. If you try the same Just make sure your phones off and be gentle.
Thanks! Good to know.
I don't own a bmw neither a phone with wireless charging, kept watching till the end lol.
Hahaha thanks man!
Took a shot every time he said "As you can see" Im now in renal failure
Hey bro I was just curious if you know if you can run 2 step on the e90 N52 manuals ?
u can with a custom tune
Wissam Mateen can you hit me up on my insta page _daniel_9513 and explain it to me
Next video: How to retro fit A/C vents for cupholders!!!
Hahaha
I wonder if this or, something similar can be done in the center console on the f10 550i? Anybody try or have suggestions???
Potentially! That would be cool
