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

I've just checked the daisy-chain power thing again.....the wireless charger definitely doesn't work off the CPlay2Air however a lightning cable DOES work and charges a phone perfectly.
So I wonder whether there's a slightly increased power requirement for the wireless charger and the CPlay2Air just dips below this.

Regardless I'm more than happy to power the wireless charger from the cigarette lighter.

That is all I could think of too. The Juice charger is rated at 5V 2A input (=10W) and charges at 5W so 50% inefficient and maybe 2A is on the limit for the CPlay2air adapter. Glad you have an alternative solution

I have a 2020 Macan are you able to provide me a fitting to fit in my car for a wireless charger as you have done for yours if you are able to do this that would be great as it’s the best fitting I’ve seen so far.
Many Thanks. If you could provide the charger also that would be great.

Mine just arrived and it’s great. However run into a problem with the cplay2air adapter. The moment you plug a lead into the pass through USB port it disconnects. Anyone had this problem?
