I've retrofitted the wireless charging plate in place of the snap-in adapter in my armrest but my phone is constantly overheating. There's a small fan inside the armrest to the side that should be running, but mine isn't. I don't know if it's always running (and mine is just broken), or if it just turns on when the snap-in adapter is used (which means I'll probably have to dig deeper for codes).

It'd be greatly appreciated if some could check their fan to see if it's always running.

Thanks!

 

My car has the wireless charging from the factory and the fan only runs when a phone is actively charging so far as I can tell.

 

 

Wait there's a fan in there??

 

And I thought the op was just REALLY into armrests......

 

 

Any pointers in regards to what you needed to connect etc?

 

To clarify, the fan is there with the wireless charging adapter that is installed in the armrest for some of the trim levels. In the case that the wireless charger is installed, there is no phone connector or anything in the armrest.

 

Hello Fb, Would you be able to send me more information about where you purchased the universal adapter? This sounds like the easiest way to go to be able to use the armrest input. Thank you,
