Just cut your losses and purchase the Nine Volt charger. It just works 😉

So “aftermarket” though…
My phone battery lasts 18 hours minimum and it’s an iPhone 11!
Why are you folks so desperate to find a charging option other than a quick blast from a wire in the centre consul on the very rare occasion you would actually need to I wonder 🤔

If you use CarPlay extensively and Apple/Waze/Google maps you do need to be able to charge.

However, I bought the Ninevolt mainly to have a nice magnetic holder in a great position in the car. Away from cup holders and not one if those tacky air vent holders 😉

So neat and looks like a Porsche fitted item

You mean it looks like something that works and does not require a yearly subscription 😉

No, I don’t mean that. If it works and that’s what you want, then all good 👍

Best out there, and believe me I tried a few options. The Porsche solution is absolute crap.

Must admit it does look cool and like a neat solution,

But i'm happy to plug it into the armrest. Takes 10 seconds and you get a bit of charge. It also means my phone isn't in view so there can be absolutely no distractions from the device (or questions around whether I was distracted by it should the worst happen)

By the way, for any newish Macan owners,if you pull out the rubber mat from the area just above the cup holders, where my Nine Volt is fitted in the picture, there is a full blown 12V socket in there which you can of course then add any type of adapter into ;)
