G29 - No wireless charging - cabling options/ideas please?
Hi All, New member! I've just placed an order for the G29 (due October) and due to chip shortages etc enhanced bluetooth, hotspot prep and wireless charging are off the menu. Don't really care about the first 2 but wireless charge would have been useful. I have a Samsung S10 and from what I've read the usb slot in the centre console doesn't provide enough juice to properly charge and there's restricted space in the console front phone tray that would possibly inhibit cabling. Have any G29 owners found an effective way of using a cabled charge solution please? Are wireless retrofits viable? Anything like 90 degree usb cable connectors? First world problems! Oh - and once again hello all!

Hello, welcome and congratulations on your purchase, there are some kits available to add wireless charging and I might look into these when I get mine, hopefully in September
So what have you ordered?

Ooooh very pretty! I'd wrap the M40 round a lampost so I'm playing it safe!

We've just got short 15cm lightening cable plugged into the USB by the wireless charging pad and it charges absolutely fine. The phone sits on the wireless charging pad and you can even shut the flap, concealing it too.
If not plugged in the battery does drain fairly quick though as the car connects via bluetooth and Wi-fi if using Apple Car Play

I had wireless charging in my last car and when you switched the engine off there was an audible as well as written warning to remove the phone whereas doing what you suggest (which is what I do now) doesn't give you any warning and I have gone off leaving my phone in the car a couple of times already

Really grateful for the responses, thank you - are you able to share the tray dimensions please so I can see how much space I have for a connector?

Just noticed your other thread, just because you have the power you don’t have to use it all the time and when you do, do it responsibly. I’m a 54 year old Yorkshire lass so if I can there’s nothing stopping you apart from you
