For anyone whose phone will work with any USB charger - that is, a charger that is non proprietary by the phone manufacturer - or for a phone that never had proprietary wireless charging built in, there is a simple way to utilise the car's wireless charging. Obtain a "wireless charging adaptor" from eBay (£2 - £3) and attach the adaptor to some card or hardboard. Experiment to find the best position against the car's charging pad. Also provide a USB extension cable from the adaptor to the phone's USB charging socket so that the phone can more easily be hooked up as required. A few dabs of glue make the rig more durable. I bought an adaptor for £2 and it's been working perfectly for months.

Agree with the previous comment about Apple not using internationally agreed interfaces. Third parties struggle to say abreast of changes - and likely have to buy licensing for their trouble. I wouldn't go near them.

Thanks for letting us know. Maybe you could look at getting it retrofitted ?
