Just received my charger tray from Richard - fantastic design and construction - looks like an OE part!

Hi Richard.
You have quite the following now ;)
Amazing work from what I've seen!

Please PM me if you're able to sell/ship to a Canadian.
Not sure if your design needs to change for a left-side driver?

Thanks,
Cory

Another happy customer - many thanks Richard for a quality bit of kit. Together with my newly received CPlay2Air it works really well to give wireless CarPlay and wireless charging.

The only thing I noticed is that it isn't possible to daisy-chain the wireless charger through the CPlay2Air as there's no power throughput - not sure if anyone else has experienced this?

I just used the cigarette lighter socket for power via and adapter - in fact this means the CPlay2Air box sits nicely tucked away at the bottom of the storage compartment and it's easy to lift up the wireless charger to add other items as it's only lifting the USB cable not the box as well.

Strange that, no other reports of this that I’ve seen. On mine the CPlay2Air daisy chains the charger power with no issues.

In my 2019 Macan S with usb A ports in center console, it only slow charges my Samsung galaxy, a bit annoying as it also doesn't have the 12v plug that the gen1 has. I need two, one for dash cam, one to fast charge the phone and looking for a solution.

FWIW my solution is to use spare slots in the fusebox to hardwire my dash cam. Plug and play so I can remove it before the car goes into my OPC. Doesn't help with your desire for fast charging but tidies up the wiring and keeps power / USB sockets free
