Be advised, increase thickness of cover on top of charger, otherwise it will not work properly!
Hi guys,Goodmorning Mac,
No, he has an Golf MK8, and the charger for that model is the same as in MK7. This particular charger does not have a fan for airflow, so the rubber mat for both cars don't have air venting holes. We found out that the distance between the Chinese charger (wich is under the rubber mat obviously) and the phone has to be increased to work properly. And because the Chinese charger does have a fan, for MK7, the rubber mat needs to be modified to be thicker and have venting holes of some sort. Therefore we used a peace of cardboard under the mat to make it twice as thick as original. For MK8, Massimo tried the mat from MK8.5, because it is thicker and has already air venting holes, and it fits plug and play.
Yes, test a little more.
You can test without the case to decrease the distance between your phone and the charger, but I advise you, if you don't have any success, put the case back on, and put a piece of cardboard (1mm thick) under your phone. That helps for Chinese charger. Although it is unlikely that it helps for original charger.
Good luck with it, and let us know your findings.
Chris.
Interesting, have you tried without any case in your phone?I having the same interment wireless charging issues with my pixel 7 in a non magsafe case, in my Golf 8.5. I found that removing the car's wireless charging rubber mat seems to make charging a lot more reliable.
My experience with wireless charging anywhere (not just in the VW) is that it is much slower and less effective than charging with a cable. So, I bought a charging cable that fits the phone and the VW, and keep in in the glove compartment in case I need to charge the phone in the car.Any other advice would be greatly appreciated![]()
This ^^. Girlf tried the wirless charge on current & prev Golf a few times, phone indicated it was being charged didn't seem to be very much but did get a tad warm, we both use charge cables, work ok no probs.....My experience with wireless charging anywhere (not just in the VW) is that it is much slower and less effective than charging with a cable.

Well, I suppose that might result in some improvement, but it costs USD $292. A good quality USB charging cable costs about USD $20.

It's sort of a 'features vs. benefits' issue. Sure, wireless charging is a feature, but does it deliver USD $272 (plus labour time) of benefits?
