Wireless charging pad - I ordered it as a "just in case I need it" sort of thing, and only as that. $200 wasted? Maybe.

My wife's X5 has one. It is an excellent phone heater for sure but it does charge the phone so long as the screen is off. Sometimes using Waze the screen will list the directions and stay on in which case you don't gain charge but you also don't lose it either. With wireless CarPlay I'm not going to install a phone holder / magnet so will use the charging pad if needed, and on long roadtrips. Will also have cords in the car if needed. I use the one in the X5 all the time, it just gets warm, that's all.
