Default Finally the perfect Wireless Phone Mount for the Macan!

After buying close to half a dozen chargers, wireless mounts, window mounts, dash mounts and vent mounts! I have finally narrowed it down to my favorite wireless mount and favorite dock and had to custom fit it!, a little dremel tool action and DONE! FINALLY!

For those wondering where the links are? In the youtube description - but better here.

upon edit - looks like the links were parsed by the forum. --I'm done-- /smmfh

The Kuda mount is the best for sure. I am not sure about wireless charging though....not super important for me. Looking for a low profile mount with slip in lightening power....Kuda used too make good ones....

No idea what this is going to be, but ordered it from the configurator:

Smartphone Compartment with Wireless Charging
Smartphone compartment in the center console for optimized mobile phone reception, battery saving operation, and wireless charging.

$690

We've got that on ours and inside of the center console there is a little clip on the drivers side that holds it against the side so that it can wirelessly charge. If you have Apple Carplay (and an iPhone) it's not a big deal that the phone is in the center console, but if you don't and want to use your phone for navigation/music you'd never really be able to use the compartment. If you don't care about Apple Carplay or using your phone for anything then it's a nice little place to store it while you drive since it will charge it too.

This photo is supposedly from a Taycan, but it looks the exact same in a Macan

Thanks btm7687, interesting pic.

I guess the compartment is cooled for battery saving while charging. What the "optimized mobile phone reception" comes from, no idea.

Anyway, will be nice to have the cable out of the way.

Hat's off to SaulV for a nifty DIY.


Edit: Dealer sales guy says the compartment is not cooled.

The phone connects to the Macan's built in cell phone antenna. If I'm in a location where my iPhone gets 3 of 4 bars, and then place it on the charger, I will get 4 of 4 bars.

Good to know it’s not just a $690 clip then!
