# Qi wire free Phone Charger centre console **Source:** https://vwcaliforniaclub.com/threads/qi-wire-free-phone-charger-centre-console.59718/ **Posts:** 9 --- ### P — 2025-09-10T04:49:12+0200 (Sep 10, 2025) My manual suggests that the little tray in the centre console is a wireless Qi charger. I have a Qi compatible iPhone 16 Pro Max but it is not charging Does anyone else have experience of their phone either charging or nor charging? --- ### — 2025-09-10T09:21:36+0200 (Sep 10, 2025) > [Peter Chequers said:](/goto/post?id=759800) > > My manual suggests that the little tray in the centre console is a wireless Qi charger. > I have a Qi compatible iPhone 16 Pro Max but it is not charging > Does anyone else have experience of their phone either charging or nor charging? > > Click to expand... From previous discussions on this forum we understand that the tray in question is set up for wireless charging on the continent and in Ireland, but not in the UK for whatever reason ‍![♂️](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/twitter/twemoji@14.0.2/assets/72x72/2642.png "Male sign :male_sign:") --- ### — 2025-09-10T09:23:11+0200 (Sep 10, 2025) Hmm for some reason the shrug emoji on iphone is rendered as a male icon here! Thought i’d clear that up in case of any confusion! --- ### — 2025-09-10T10:33:57+0200 (Sep 10, 2025) The T6.1 had a similar oddity in that the wireless charging option was available to spec pretty much everywhere in Europe but not in the U.K. for some reason. --- ### P — 2025-09-10T11:44:06+0200 (Sep 10, 2025) Sorry for asking a previously asked question... I was looking on the T7 forum and didn't see it asked previously I have just ordered a wireless charging pad from Amazon for £20 so hopefully it will fit on the tray --- ### S — 2025-09-10T12:51:16+0200 (Sep 10, 2025) Ikea sells one for a fiver, works well --- ### P — 2025-09-10T22:15:51+0200 (Sep 10, 2025) Wireless Car Charging Pad, Polmxs 15W Fast Wireless Car Charger Pad Non Slip Charging Mat 30cm Cable with 70cm Extension Cable Compatible with iPhone 16/15/14/13/12/11, Samsung, Google This just arrived, fits perfectly and works a treat --- ### — 2025-09-27T07:55:22+0200 (Sep 27, 2025) > [Peter Chequers said:](/goto/post?id=759905) > > Wireless Car Charging Pad, Polmxs 15W Fast Wireless Car Charger Pad Non Slip Charging Mat 30cm Cable with 70cm Extension Cable Compatible with iPhone 16/15/14/13/12/11, Samsung, Google > > This just arrived, fits perfectly and works a treat > > Click to expand... Can I just double check does it fit in the existing tray and if it does is it easy enough to slide phone in? --- ### S — 2025-09-27T08:02:31+0200 (Sep 27, 2025) > [Peter Chequers said:](/goto/post?id=759905) > > Wireless Car Charging Pad, Polmxs 15W Fast Wireless Car Charger Pad Non Slip Charging Mat 30cm Cable with 70cm Extension Cable Compatible with iPhone 16/15/14/13/12/11, Samsung, Google > > This just arrived, fits perfectly and works a treat > > Click to expand...
