My wifes 2021 X5 45e works every time with a 12 mini and 12pro. I didn't know there was an issue with the BMWs too.

I have a 2019 X7 - was an issue awhile ago but no longer.

 

Same here, no iOS version makes any diff. To me it acts like it’s a sensitivity thing w the pad itself ie the thickness of the rubber mat

 

tech bulletin SSM75427 resolves the issue. had this performed a few months back and phone charges reliably on the pad now.

 

FYI - It doesn't work with my new iPhone 13 Pro either. Worked fine with my old XS Max ...

 

You can read other posts. Most of the Defenders came with a wireless charging pad that does not work iphone 12 and 13 - though works fine with older models. This is because of MagSafe on the newer phones. The dealer can 1) update the module for some later versions of the wireless charger. Older versions need to get an updated wireless charging pad. Mine did - and the new one works perfect with both the iphone 12 and 13.

 

Weird. My May 25 2021 build-date 110 charges my iPhone 12 (the little one, not sure what it’s called) just fine, 100% of the time.

 

Exactly, they updated the hardware. Problem solved.

 

it's a software fix that has to do with foreign object detection (metal)

Action:

This procedure requires a minimum of Pathfinder (325) loaded or later.

Connect the JLR approved battery support unit.
Connect the JLR approved diagnostic equipment to the vehicle and begin a new session. Follow the JLR approved diagnostic equipment prompts.
Select 'ECU Diagnostics'.
Select ‘WDCM'
Select 'Update ECU'.
Follow all on-screen instructions to complete the task.
When all of the tasks are complete, exit the session.
Disconnect the JLR approved diagnostic equipment and the JLR approved battery support unit. Confirm the Wireless Device Charger Module (WDCM) charges the iPhone 12

 

Thanks for this. I did bring this info to the dealership and asked them to perform this software fix. They told me they tried and it wasn't available for my VIN. Who knows if that is true or not, but I still get no response when attempting to charge my Iphone 12 on the wireless charger.
