I can, postage will be fairly expensive though. I'll pm you. Many thanks
Any chance you can ship to the US, too? I'd have PM'd you on this, but I just joined and can't send PM's, yet.

Also - any chance you can design something similar for a 9Y0 Cayenne? I'm looking for an insert to go here (for the wife's Cayenne), but don't need wireless charging. If you can share the file, I just take the file and add a connector to the bottom, and wire this up to the center console storage for USB connectivity. I can even ship you the extra part I bought and the molding I made. I have my own 3d printer, just haven't had time to design this, and the wife is getting impatient. :)

Sent you a pm. I can make an insert with an Apple lightning cable held captive for the Cayenne and can sort out a Macan charger for you too :-)

Evidently, I have not, yet, earned the privilege of replying to PM's, yet. Let me get a little more active on this site and I'll reply when I can. :)

Hi Madelvic can you make one for me for a Porsche Macan 2017 and if so how do I get in contact with you. I only recently joined and it doesn’t let me message you directly.

Sent you a PM (I think you have to have done 3 or 4 posts before it allows sending PMs)

Would this work with the new iPhone 13 Pro? Wondering if you are utilising a Matlock charger in any way to keep it from 'slipping' around and missing the charging port.

Im very interested in grabbing one of these for my Gen 2 Macan Turbo ive just picked up. Couldn't believe the lack of phone storage tbh, I completely overlooked it

Yes to the iPhone 13 Pro, no to the Max (so far). The Max is just too big to sit inside the cubby hole.

As for chargers do you mean MagSafe? The design can easily be adapted for different brands of charger and I've been partly forced down this route. I started with a Belkin 5W charger but they aren't available any longer. I moved to Juice 5W and they are very hard to come by. I tried a Belkin 10W but the USB port won't support more than 5W. I have found recently a 2A cigarette lighter adapter that will support the Belkin 10W

Happy to make another

That holder looks great, better than anything I can find on the market.

I'd like to get one of the wireless units for my new Gen II GTS if possible, as I am new member I cannot PM so if you could contact me that would be great.

Many thanks

Sorry I did mean the MagSafe. Let me test my MagSafe Apple charger in the car now and come back to you

Ive tested my standard Apple MagSafe charger in car and it works fine from the USB-C port in the armrest storage, so this should work fine. If you would be happy to make one for a MagSafe Apple charger then id be happy to purchase one from you, delivery in the UK :) This is for Standard iPhone 13 Pro (NOT MAX)

Does that work? If so PM me please. Thanks, Craig!
