I recently purchased an iPhone XS. So far I’ve had little success with the NFC charging pad. It either starts to charge and then quits or doesn’t seem to charge at all. Has anyone else had similar problems?
I have also recently purchased a new iPhone Xs. Seems to work fine in my charging pad. Haven't left it in there very long as my commute to work is only 4 miles or so. As far as I know it has continued to charge while on the pad.
One issue we had with my wife's iPhone 8+ is that her case had one of those magnet clips on the back. It didn't like that in the charger. She had to remove the phone from the case to get it to work.
One other issue that might be causing a problem is that both the 8+ and the Xs are a little too long for the space in the charging pad and the phone doesn't sit flat. Sometimes you need to make sure it is in there just right before it starts to charge. If your case is a little oversize, that might be enough to make the charging intermittent as the phone's already too big.
Magnets don't work well with the wireless chargers. Must use some sort of induction? I once had a phone with wireless charging and a magnet get SUPER hot while on the charger, probably a bit dangerous.

My iPhone is currently in a Spigen case, which is supposed to play well with wireless charging. But this makes the phone even larger. I’ll have to check to make sure it’s lying flat.
If my phone is near the pad, Apple Pay gets triggered. Anyone have Apple Pay on and still are able to charge? Mine can’t...
I don't have my car yet, so I can't give you specific instructions, but you need to turn off NFC in the COMAND system. iOS doesn't support NFC pairing and instead the phone thinks you want to make a payment. This could also be why OP's phone doesn't charge.

The NFC is in the lid of the compartment not in the charging pad, it’s labeled if you look. I just played around and found that if I held my hand over the phone to block the chip it didn’t trigger Apple Pay.
Just triple checked my 2018 10/10/17 build. The iPhone Xs Max will not fit flat even with the cupholder removed.
There is a little lip at the rear of the charging pad that holds up the end of the phone regardless of whether the cupholder is in there or not. The rear of the phone sits about a quarter of an inch above the pad. Seems to work fine though. Probably makes it easier to pick the phone up out of the charging pad area too.

That's exactly the same issue as mine, 18 model has a really small pad to charge it (only fit Xs). time for trading for MY19? Lol. I like the new steering wheel, ME function ( Canada don't have it before 19 model's), etc....

it will fit the XS Max with a case on it, mines is 18.
Not for me tho, I will try take a pic from it, was that because the CF console? E634Me seems like have the same issue.
FWIW, I do have the CF center console.
Initially when I ordered the car, the wireless charging feature was not an option if the CF center console was spec'ed. I was pleasantly surprised to arrive in Germany to pick up the car and discover that it had gotten the refresh which included the wireless charging as well as the Track Pace app and the additional LED lighting colors.
The only thing that it appears I lost out on was that the move of the Cig Lighter plug from the inside of the center console to the front passenger left knee area didn't happen yet on my car. So I only have one 12 VDC plug, which is on the rear center console next to the 120 VAC outlet. Makes powering the radar detector and other front mounted accessories a bit of a pain. But I hard wired the radar detector to the fuse panel near the front passenger right foot area.
