    Wireless charging

    Has anyone managed retro fit wireless charging in Tiguan.

    Looking to install wireless charging pad. Any clues???

    Don’t you still need to plug the phone in for Apple Carplay/ Android Auto anyway?

    I've gone one of these magnetic adaptors rather than wireless charging (so I can use android auto). About $37 off ebay or a variety of other places. Seems to charge relatively rapidly - not as fast as USB-C to USB-C fast charging, but think the VW must output at a reasonably high amp?watt? over USB-A.

    I combined with a dodgied up dock that I just slide the phone in and out of.

    Will probably make a better dock at some point. But happy enough with it that I bought a second magnetic adapter so I don't need to unplug the adapter on the phone side it to charge overnight (unfortunately they don't sell just the male cable half of the adapter - I asked Blupeak).

    For me, it is a lot lot better than plugging/unplugging a cable each time. Just tilt the phone upwards to break the magnetic seal and lift out. Of course YMMV.

    Does anyone have experience with these? Looks like it may need a professional installation.

    I was advised by the dealer that hardwiring a dashcam would void warranties relating to that. So based off that logic, I'd say there's a fair chance this would too.

    How strict your dealer is would also play a big part.

    You can buy them identical off ALIEXPRESS for about $86 AU Can get both hardwired and ones with a little ciggy plug on them If you get a hardwired one just dont tell the dealer He wont exactly go looking if you chuck a little book over it
