Hi all,
I just bought a second hand S3 cabriolet (8V). It's a 65 plate MY16. It came with the Technology Pack + Phone Box. It's the version without the built-in Qi wireless charging. Since I have a smartphone that can be charged wirelessly, I would like to upgrade the Phone Box to the more recent model with built-in Qi.
Does somebody happen to know whether this is possible? In theory I guess I would have to swap the "container" under the armrest and deliver power to the built-in Qi charging mat?
I understand an alternative is to plug a 3rd party Qi charger into the USB socket inside the armrest, but if not prohibitely expensive I would prefer having the smartphone laying flat on the rubber mat of the Phone Box itself, rather than rocking about on top of a small separate Qi charger.
As a bonus - and not sure whether this is linked to wireless charging or bluetooth connectivity - I would also love to find a way to enable the feature from the recent Audis providing a voice reminder to pick your phone up when you switch the engine off - as I have already forgotten it a couple of times under the armrest
Thanks in advance for you advice.
Regards,
