With Apple announcing that all the new phones now feature wireless charging, I really wish I had ticked that option as I've got an upgrade coming end of the year.
Has anyone ever retro fitted wireless charging?

There was a German company making a third party one but only for lhd... The usb connection moves to the other side on lhd...

Well if you think the apple stuff will work in a Vw I think you may be wrong, they were talking about using a different wireless system to all other phones, apple like being different 😂🤣

Nope. They are using the Qi standard :nerd:
What they are developing is a charging pad for their kit so you can charge the phone, watch and airpods on the same pad

Yes, nice to see Apple jump into the 21st century. Now if they could jump into this decade it would be better and use fast wireless charging but I'm guessing they're keeping that until sometime in the 2020's :rolleyes:
OP, you'd be better off going for this http://www.d-docks.com/

If you're not already using the USB, you could maybe use something like this?

Does Apple CarPlay work over Bluetooth?
The thing I've said about the wireless charging is that its great except that you can't use Android Auto while using it.

Wow ... some great ideas and links, thanks guys!
Looks like I'll be able to wire something up, just need to confirm if apples system will be compatible or stand alone.

If that's true it makes wireless changing in the car redundant. Why wireless charge (and lose AA) when you can simply plug it in, hide it in the box and have both AA and charging at the same time?

Yes, it is true at the moment. Wireless carplay does exist, but VW haven't implemented it yet.
BMW have...

I guess this will be another "buy the MY19 golf with wireless carplay"
Not sure about wireless AA yet... it has to come I guess, but the excuse is about stopping the driver fiddling with the phone.

I thought I'd read that the reason AA doesn't/is not allowed to work over the air is for battery drain which makes sense actually. Maybe for very short trips it would be bearable but leaving it in AA for half an hour without charging wouldn't be very smart with current battery consumption standards. Of-course, wireless charging could be just the solution for that.

If you really want in-car wireless charging surely all you need to do is buy a generic wireless charging dock / mat (a Belkin one or similar) and leave that permanently plugged into the USB socket in the cubby and then you can just leave your phone down onto that.
The wireless-charging option factory fitted is nearly 500 euro here in Ireland which seems nuts to me. Think I'll stick with the misery of having to plug it in.
-
Yes but if you use the USB port in the cubby for a wireless charging thing then you can't plug into AA or CP...
Its not even as if there are any other USB sockets available in the right place.
I agree though that 500 quid for a flippin wireless charger is outrageous though.
