wireless charging phone tray ?
#21
Sorry, I don't know the models well enough but if you do a search I am sure you will find a console organiser similar to that for your car and then it's just a question of installing the charging coil under it.

Since my Galaxy S7 Edge fits in the sliding tray, my solution was to buy . It fits nicely into the tray, the phone sits on top and can't slide off. Charges nicely. I use a Spigen case which makes the phone fit snugly. This solution of course only works if your phone fits. I don't want a bigger phone - my pockets can't handle any more Seems like the best use of the tray for me.

X3 M40i wireless charging tray
Audi didn't design they tray with modern phones in mind as I've mentioned before. Sadly, despite Audi have good tech elsewhere most other companies do it better (Toyota, BMW etc). Here's an example from my X3 M40i, it fits any phone even my Note 8/S9+ and they stay charging even with spirited driving. The image doesn't do the space justice, it's quite large and will fit just about any phone I throw at it (I haven't found one that doesn't fit and charge yet)

Yeah, I was a little shocked when I first place my iPhone 8 into the tray, had to remove the silicone cover so it fitted, I supposed the theory is if you connect it via USB cable for Apple Carplay it charges via the cable instead anyway. But it does charge the phone very quickly in the Audi when I do use it.

Here’s how I organized my wireless charging pad in the Q5 flat console tray that slides back/forth. I have a Galaxy S7 phone and it fits there perfectly. Prices of the individual items below vary so you need to do your own search but keep the eye on the “fast” charging aspects of each with #1 and #6 below being the key.
1. Quick Charge 3.0 USB port that fits flush (does not stick out) in the cigarette outlet. Plugged beyond front seat.
2. 90 deg. USB male/female adapter so the wire does not get kicked by legs behind the seats. Male end plugged into #1 above.
3. USB to USB C male/male wire. USB plugged into #2 above.
5. USB female to 90 deg. micro USB male adapter. Straight USB plus the QI pad are too long for the tray. USB plugged into #4 above.

Connecting the power from the factory's 12V port rear connector is not easy. I am using a cigarette lighter directly, and push the wire into the console side panel. This looks good!...
