Qi Charger in Armrest
Hello all. If this has been beat to death already, my apologies and please redirect me.
Has anyone found a Qi charger that fits under the armrest? Or, better yet, a Qi charger that fits UNDER the tray of the armrest and mounts (adhesive?) to the bottom of the aforementioned tray?
Thanks, and once again my apologies if this has a prior life!

Gravity and the console lid
That handy-dandy little item and a head-up display (HUD) would be the only two things I would add to the '19 Targa 4S. I heard a rumor that a HUD was coming. Keeps your eyes where they belong... on the girl crossing the street! Oops! Did I say that? Please disregard. Poor judgement! Imagine a heterosexual owning a Porsche!

I had this on my Ferrari. Self-lubricating using Paragon micron punkalouvres (a great formerly east German company). The reservoirs were hand machined in Paris by an old retired Dutch seamstress who dabbled in nuclear rocketry. She crafted them from rare earth metals, and allegedly had social ties to Goebells.
It was all very exclusive and artisanal, until the unfortunate accident.
P.S. pardon the slight thread drift.

Here is a thin Qi charger that may work. Seems thin enough.

This is my effort, testing for fit on Sunday. I've made quite a few for Macan so far. I've been using 5W chargers when connected to the cars USB port as that is all it will support. With higher rated USB adapters I've got Belkin 10W chargers to work (and I think iPhone only supports up to 7.5W)

Neither :-)
It is printed face down. I had a Chinese Prusa clone and it worked but fiddly. Bought the real deal Prusa and blown away by the quality. This print is at the lowest resolution of print.
I like your design too. We've both designed it so the phone can't move much (and stay in range of the QI charger). I've also made my first (for a Macan) with an Apple MagSafe charger

Just to add one consideration… I tried all this and worked fine, but on long drives the phone would overheat in the closed compartment. Scrapped the setup and went back to a cable.

Yeah I found a couple solutions. Either use a lower power charger or one that has a fan (samsung makes one) and design a tray with vent channels, and you can also disable fast wireless charging on an android phone. It's not perfect but it cycles charge on and off and seems to be net positive.
