I just installed this in my 2019 m3 sr+ and I absolutely love it. I’m not sure if I got a newer updated version since this thread started, but just wanted to post some pictures and also my thoughts:
1. The replacement top half of the steering column fascia which houses the wireless charger matches the Tesla fascia almost 100%. I’ve watched install videos where it looked a little off, mine does not at all.
2. The charger assembly itself is very good build quality. It is all aluminum and the charger itself has some heft to it. Nothing feels cheap or flimsy.
3. The steering column replacement top half is an exact fit. All the snaps lined up seemlessly and flush with the steering column. There are no visible gaps between the upper and lower half of the steering column, this does have a truly OEM look.
3. Haven’t had the chance to charge my phone up fully yet, but what’s interesting is the MagSafe animation showing on my iPhone 13 Pro. I know this is not a MagSafe certified device, and the charger does not have any magnetic properties. Seems to be 7.5w charging at max. There is something triggering the MagSafe animation I guess maybe a clone chip or something.
4. Install was fairly straightforward. It does involve some disassembly of the dashboard, steering column and driver side kick panels but it’s something anyone can do by taking their time and following a good install video on YT. From start to finish it took me 34 minutes.
5. This charger utilizes the blue wiring harness in the driver side door behind the
curved sill protector that runs along the bottom portion of the a-pillar. I had previously installed the Hansshow DIY premium audio harness, which utilizes this same connection to activate the pillar speakers and door tweeters. The connection for this charger can be installed in between the OEM blue harness and the Hansshow audio harness with no issues, for anyone wondering if there would be comparability issues.
6. Overall I am very pleased with the look and feel of the charger. It seems to do a decent job of charging my phone and for my height (5’7) I have full visibility of my phone in the charger while driving. I use waze for navigation as it is crowd sourced and I find it is far more intuitive in adjusting my morning and afternoon commute than teslas native GPS offering. I also work in NYC and like having Waze’s ability to identify where speed cameras are (they seem to be adding them every day) so that I don’t get those $50 tickets in the mail.
If anyone has any questions send me a DM I’m happy to help!
