Audi A7 cordless phone charging ( 2015)
Discussion
hi all
just got the above car.. and the wireless phone charging doesn't seem to be working unless I'm missing something?
my iPhone is not Qi enabled so bought a case which gets round this... but doesn't work.. I also tried my brothers Windows phone which is Qi enabled and not charging that either... can't see anything in the settings for it or in the manuals
