Wireless charger retrofit

[Llotse]

Hi, has anyone fitted a wireless charger in the space near the heated seat switches? If so which one did you use? Seems odd to have wireless CarPlay but no wireless charger! Wireless CarPlay is superb though.

Oem one is around, £5-600 with the trim, there are aftermarket kits but dubious quality from China

 

Alpine do a QI wireless charging kit for around £100 - KCE-3Qi

Wireless CarPlay???????

 

I have a 22 Corolla but mine doesn't have wireless CarPlay. I would be interested to see a photo of which infotainment unit you have in your car.

Models with the single knob and no physical shortcut buttons have wireless CarPlay, but only corded Android Auto

I actually thought about adding a wireless charger in to mine, then I realised my Galaxy A21s doesn't support it.

So that's save me some money 😄

Sorry for late reply, been working away. I have bought a wireless charger from Amazon and will fit they on some Perspex near the heated seat switches, that way I can still get at the storage space. Will show some photos once done

Didn’t go with the Perspex and Amazon kit in the end, I had to upgrade my phone. I bought a MagSafe car mount for the dashboard and then ran a USB cable under the trim from the glovebox. Phone sits immediately right of the ICE screen and looks good.
