Adding a wireless charger

[TheUltraRunner]

Thanks @MiniNinjaRob for suggestions. Dealers here are not very knowledgeable so it's easier to get the correct part number and just ask them to order it. I would like to get this part to play a bit with it with wrapping. I hate the piano black color on the center console. It gets scratched so easily. 😞

I also think it's a real fail in automotive industry; plenty of brands using it nowadays. It's a great fingerprint magnet, it shows every-single spec of dust - it's horrible when seen in full sunshine...
I've already planned to apply some foil whenever the car will be delivered. I'll try to find some transparent-matte foil (didn't bother to look for it yet); it can be removed later-on if needed, and the plastic behind will be unharmed.

I have a similar plan. 

[MiniNinjaRob]

It does take some effort to keep the piano black looking good, don’t leave objects on there and don’t just wipe with a cloth when cleaning, best to use some sort of suction with a soft brush then plenty of MPC on a cloth afterwards. 
I am not a fan of it, a nice Matt carbon look or alcantara like fabric would be better.

I got one of the eBay wireless chargers mentioned here.

 

does the job, gets a little warm, but not too bad even after an hours driving.

 

mine could do with 5mm more on the cable, other than that all good.

 

could do with MagSafe or something on the next iteration. 👍

I got one of these from Amazon to hold an official magsafe charger onto a vent in my Tiguan. Once I sorted out how to tighten it in place, it has been brilliant. Holds the phone in place without issue.

This is how I’ve set mine up I’m sure the MagSafe charger was about £10 but that was over a year ago

Gently pull the wire, there is about 2 cm of cable inside.

Mine manages to charge through a sturdy case just fine.

Does it bend the vent fin? Having this issue in my mk2 Oct that most options are too heavy for the vent once the phone is mounted.

If it helps anyone I created a 3d-printed wireless charger holder for my 2021 TSI IV front tray and iPhone.  I made two versions, one for an eono charger and one for an Apple MagSafe charger. Works a treat and a damned sight cheaper than the original option.  https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5180289

Can you make one that fits the IKEA charger? Its cheap and does the job but it plays around 2 much https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/livboj-wireless-charger-white-70465246/

[Felix2021]

If i'm not mistaken, Ikea ones are 5W only. It will not feed your phone when using AA for example. It will just slow down discharging.

It is 5W yes. I couldnt find any info on how much are the Mk4 ports outputing in terms of Amps

[Felix2021]

They are PD compatible, but am not sure of the limits exactly.

However 10W offered Skodamk4 seems reasonable, and we know it works.

[peshetoman]

Even on cable samsung never went to fast charging (which requires PD)

My anker at home has PD and Fast charging works. Same applies for my anker external battery(as long as u use samsung cables or expensive anker cables)
