wireless charging phone - coding warning "forgotten phone"

I bought the aftermarket wireless mobile charger, all works fine, but did somebody already manage to code the option
that shows a warning if you forget your phone in this tray? (original has this, as well as better reception, as this is connected to the antenna) or is also some additional hardware needed for this?

You need to update your Software and you will have the option in Idrive. I got it when on mine

I have got this from factory and setting is activated but don't get a warning if I "forget" my phone. Any ideas?

Same here, I have the box checked in iDrive but have never noticed a warning and have forgotten my phone several times.
