Works on our Life and Family (Family is on 2.0).
Cupra Born V2 e-boost 230ps Aurora Blue, replaced ID3 PP Family

Audi S3 - because I hate rapid charging for long distance driving.

Of all the UK spec cars, only the 1st Edition does not have wireless phone charging.

Does anyone else find it really heats up the phone? (Ipjonen12 max pro)
After an hour's journey, mine turned off due to heat!

The overheating has been discussed here - viewtopic.php?f=11&t=703

Wireless charging generates heat anyway and if the phone is being used for CarPlay and music it will get hotter still.

In general however I have found that the level of charge provided is relatively tiny even when phone is not in use.

I have found putting the iPhone in with the speaker end facing the top of the opening helps dissipate some the heat that is created by the combination of wireless charging and wireless CarPlay. Still gets warm but stops it cutting out for me

I was surprised by this (well when a Qi charge icon on a notification popped up) as all the documentation for the Family Pro Performance didn’t make any mention of it at all.

Works great on my Tech model. On placing the phone in the rear section of the sloping storage area I get the message ‘mobile phone charging’ come up on the infotainment screen.
