    The wireless charging pocket is typically located inside the center console. Here’s how you can find it: Lift the armrest to access the storage compartment inside the center console. The wireless charging pocket is usually positioned along the side of the console, closest to the driver’s seat. It’s designed to securely hold your phone while it charges. Simply place your Qi-compatible phone into the charging pocket. Make sure it’s centered for optimal charging. Your phone should start charging automatically. You can check the charging status on your phone’s screen or the car’s infotainment display. If your phone has a thick case, it might interfere with charging. Consider removing the case for better contact. Be sure there are no metal objects between your phone and the charging pad, as they can disrupt the charging process.

    Yes, you can charge your BMW key using an Apple Watch charger. Since both devices use inductive charging, the Apple Watch charger can replenish the battery in your BMW key. Simply place your BMW key on the charger, ensuring the key is properly aligned with the charging area. Charging times may vary, and it might not be as efficient as the original charger designed for your key. If you encounter any issues, consider using a dedicated charger for the best results.

    If your 2003 BMW 745Li key fob is completely dead, you should leave it on the digital phone charger for 15 to 30 minutes to get enough charge to open your doors and start your car. The exact time can vary depending on the charger and the key fob's battery level. If it doesn't work after this time, you might need to leave it charging for a bit longer or try using a dedicated key fob charger for better results. If the key fob still doesn't respond, it might be necessary to replace the battery or consult a professional for assistance.
