T6.1 wireless charging retrofit?

[Clarky94]

Its a real PITA to get out, theres a special tool to release them and have seen others mention in the past they managed to get them out without the tool but i just cut the plastic on one side to release it from the old trim then ditched the old trim, not like its ever going to get refitted

Thanks I did wonder that but wanted to check before thanks for the quick reply

I was going to splice into the cigar power plug from behind rather run a wire direct to the fuse box do I put in fuse in the only issue I have is the trim is a pain to get out each time

Same as getting the original one out I guess ?

you were are right its a PITA I got it out by cutting but now realise there a there are a couple of lugs marked on the photo if slightly bent out will allow the middle metal section to come out and then the black bit can be removed

Basic parts required from VW
7L2857920 82V £15.63 + vat outer plastic trim
7L2857494 82V £9.81 + vat inner plastic trim
4B0971978B £2.32 + vat connector housing

Wireless pad options from ebay or similar
5NA980611 wireless interface module, seem to average around £50 on ebay
5NA980611A this is an alternative wireless pad without the aerial connector so wireless charging only, no GSM

Before everyone rushes out and orders parts I will add that i ordered a couple modules and connectors when i started this so will have bits left over, i have since ordered a few extra sets of parts from VW and a few more connectors so when im done i will a couple kits for people ready to fit with wiring made up and terminated, these will be at cost price + postage if anyone is interested, these can be charging only or i can do one kit ready for the GSM aerial if anyone wants to try that aspect ?

Hey Pauly,

Did you happen to sell all the parts you needed for this project? Looking at doing it in my t6.1. I'm in Australia though. So working out the best economical way of getting all the parts. Thanks!

I would like to have the wireless charging option with magnetic charging surface.
