Wireless Charger

[GrumpyGranddad]

I’d be interested to know this too. I’m guessing it’ll be on the MY21’s. Don’t think anyone has received one of those yet though to confirm.

My Ocean is MY21 and does not have a wireless charger for my phone.

Installed my wireless charging solution in place of there’s the factory fit one would go. It’s just a cup holder wireless charger from Amazon for £20. You can just about ram it in the space so fits nice and snug and plus into the cigarette lighter there. It’s a nice cheap easy solution. Here’s some pics if interested.

I take it it’s left had drive? I wonder if that changes the shape of the socket for the wireless unit, so yours wouldn’t fit in the right hand drive?

That’s LHD isn’t it though. Have they done a RHD version?

Yep I am a leftie. Suspect it will be a different unit. Crazy it came with wireless charging but no wireless CarPlay…

…especially as U.K. is exactly the opposite!

Yes, South African T6.1’s are RHD with wireless charging, I have tried to contact VW SA but I think the request for part numbers got lost in translation

Iain-Le-Roi - are you still using this gizmo? Do you leave it plugged in? I'm interested to know if when empty and not charging a phone it draws much of a current i.e. enough to flatten the starter battery!

Thanks
