Cut the cord! In this video I'll show you how to install the new Lightning Console wireless phone charger from JD Cars in a BMW 4 series convertible. This mod works for F 3x, 8x series BMW's and is completely plug & play. This kit replaces your factory cupholder with one that has wireless charging built in for a completely OEM look and feel. *JD Cars* *Lightning Console* : bit.ly/3xc3DIX *Coupon code - STEVE5 for 5% off*
Great video Steve! I will consider the same upgrade. Question - mine is 2018 440i M Sport Package (not M performance). Do you know if anyone upgraded similar to M performance by BMW that would maintain warranty? I would just do engine running and replace the exhaust. Thank you!
Hey, is the smaller cup holder smaller than the OEM size? It kinda looks like the bigger one is OEM size & the smaller one is smaller than OEM from the outside comparison.
I didn't disconnect the battery, but that's only because it's a pain to do in the convertible.i had no issues, but if you have a coupe I probably would though since it's easy enough to do. 👍
Mine is a 2105 pre-lci. Yours might be an lci model if it has a different cup holder with the sliding door. This update fits both pre-lci and lci models.
@@fthirty3 I must have the "ICI model" (and no, I don't know what "ICI" means, but will google it later). Anyway, my F33 (yes I googled what F33 means) 2016 BMW has the sliding door for the cup holder, does JD Cars offer an "ICI model' with the sliding door? Also, at the begining, you mentioned doing something before this install, what did ya do? I sorda wanna copy/cat ya. :)
Hi James! I don't believe jdcars offers one with the sliding door. The upgrade I did prior was adding wireless android auto and Apple carplay from bimmertech. It's an awesome addition, definitely one of my favorites! This link will take you to bimmertech's remote start module, but you can find the wireless android auto / Apple carplay on their site.

@@fthirty3 Thanks Steve.. Trying to gage what mods I am allowed for 2022.. (wife permission).. AppleCar Play with the additional 15% (codeBF2022STEVE ) will help.. I don't believe #JDCars offers the door design either. I like the cup holders hidden, but will think it over.. SmartTop is VERY high on my 2023 list for SURE!!! but the

Great video, Steve! We look forward to seeing you at the Kies Show!!
It's going to be an amazing show!
Thank you very much for this detailed video. Sits your phone snug or does it slip in fast corners?
The phone stays in place even in the corners. Really happy with it

Do you need to disconnect the battery before messing with the OEM console piece? Nice vid!

I noticed that M logo on your shift knob. Was that stock on your car, or is it add-on? I’m looking for a replacement for that very piece.
That wasn't stock, I actually ordered that on Amazon. Here's a link to the one that I have.

What year is your car please? Your cup holder bit is different to mine which is a late 2015
