Disable wireless charger?

[zdenal_cz]

Does anyone have some hints how to remove the wireless charging box? I've just tried to pull it up, no success. 😞

Not needed anymore, I've just find it out.

Perhaps you could share your wisdom for others with the same question (like me)

I had an idea! I think that the new cooled wireless charging pads could be retrofitted to our housings. The rubber cover may also need to be cut to allow the vents to operate. But the connections look identical and the shape and size does too.
 

This pad is from the new Passat with part number #3P0035502.

I have found an alternate option on Aliexpress which is cooled and has fast charging. It has a genuine part number to 5CG980611A and appears to operate like the genuine charger, providing notifications via the infotainment about charging status. But it does appears to lack an antenna connection, so those of you with Skoda Connect won't get the signal boost.

 

To get the cooling effect, you'll likely need to modify the rubber mat by putting holes in it.

I found some more info on a Russian forum with better pictures and charging tests: https://www.drive2.ru/l/667636380720956442/?page=0#comments

 

I think I'll buy one in the next few weeks and give it a test.
