Hi all,
Hoping to get some guidance from those who’ve done similar retrofits.
I’ve just put a deposit down on a 2023 Audi Q7 Black Edition. Spec-wise it’s pretty much spot on and ticks nearly every box I was looking for.
The only slight disappointment is that it doesn’t have wireless charging or Adaptive Cruise (but from what I can gather the latter is quite a rare option and I can live without that based on the cost of retro fitting)
I’ve been doing a bit of digging and can see there are various charging pads/modules available on eBay, and it looks like it should be possible to retrofit a charging unit under the armrest by replacing the existing storage compartment.
Before I go down the trial-and-error route, I wanted to ask:
Also, I would consider using somebody like hazzydays but they don't offer this as a retro fitting option for this car.
Appreciate any advice from anyone who’s done this retrofit or knows the platform well.
Thanks

Before I go down the trial-and-error route, I wanted to ask:
- Does anyone know the correct OEM part number for the wireless charging unit for this model/year?
- Are there specific variants depending on trim or MMI version that I need to be aware of?
- Is coding required via VCDS to enable it, or is it plug-and-play once installed?
- If coding is needed, is it just enabling a module/adaptation, or does it involve component protection removal via dealer?
