{"product_id":"the-aerocharge-console-audi-wireless-charging-bay","title":"The AeroCharge Console | 15W Wireless Charging Bay for Audi A4, A5 and Q5","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-narrative\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA charging cable in a modern Audi cabin is an admission that the interior was designed by someone who never had to use it. The AeroCharge Console removes the cable. It is a moulded pad that drops into the console recess of the A4, A5 and Q5 generations and charges a phone at up to 15 watts through the surface, so the phone sits where the car's designers expected a phone to sit and nothing hangs across the shifter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fit is the engineering. The pad follows the console topography of the specific chassis rather than being a generic rectangle with a cable tail, which is why it reads as part of the interior instead of an accessory placed on top of it. Coverage is listed by model year, and that list is the thing to check before ordering: A4 from 2008 to 2016, A4 Allroad 2012 to 2014, A5 2008 to 2014, S5 2009 to 2016, RS5 2012 to 2014, Q5 2010 to 2018 and SQ5 2014 to 2017. The B9 generation A4 uses a different console and is not covered by this pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElectrically it is a straightforward Qi pad with three power steps, 15 watt, 10 watt and 7.5 watt, negotiated by the phone rather than fixed by the pad, so an iPhone takes its 7.5 watt rate and an Android handset takes the higher step where it supports it. Thermal management is the part that decides whether a wireless pad is usable in a car: the housing is thermal-resistant ABS, and the CE certification covers the charging circuit rather than merely the plastic. A pad that overheats throttles, and a throttled pad charges slower than the cable it replaced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is a drop-in rather than a wiring job. The unit is 330 grams, moulded in black to match a standard console, and sits in the recess so the phone is held rather than sliding. The honest limitation is that a thick case or a phone with a magnetic ring can interrupt coupling, which is true of every Qi pad ever made, and that wireless charging in a car is a top-up rather than a full charge on a long drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe best interior modification is the one nobody notices.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product-features\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;padding:0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel-specific moulding\u003c\/strong\u003e Shaped to the A4, A5 and Q5 console recess rather than a generic pad, so it sits flush and reads as factory.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e15W, 10W and 7.5W steps\u003c\/strong\u003e The pad negotiates the rate the phone supports, from Android fast charge down to the iPhone 7.5W standard.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThermal-resistant ABS housing\u003c\/strong\u003e Chosen because a car interior in summer reaches temperatures that soften ordinary plastics and throttle charging.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCE certified circuit\u003c\/strong\u003e Certification on the charging electronics, not just the plastic, which is the difference between a safe pad and a warm one.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrop-in installation\u003c\/strong\u003e Sits in the existing console recess with no cutting, no drilling and no wiring into the loom.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlack finish\u003c\/strong\u003e Matches the standard Audi console trim, which is the reason the pad disappears rather than announcing itself.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e330 gram body\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavy enough to stay put under cornering, light enough not to foul the console lid.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable-free cabin\u003c\/strong\u003e Removes the charging lead from the shifter area, which is the entire practical argument for the part.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;padding:0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15W, 10W and 7.5W, negotiated by device\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Qi wireless charging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thermal-resistant ABS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertification:\u003c\/strong\u003e CE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.33kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAudi A4:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2008 to 2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAudi A4 Allroad:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2012 to 2014\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAudi A5 and S5:\u003c\/strong\u003e A5 2008 to 2014, S5 2009 to 2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAudi RS5:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2012 to 2014\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAudi Q5 and SQ5:\u003c\/strong\u003e Q5 2010 to 2018, SQ5 2014 to 2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:8px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0f0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNot compatible:\u003c\/strong\u003e B9 generation A4 and later consoles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product-applications\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere It Belongs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is for the owner of a B8 A4, an A5 or a first-generation Q5 who wants a phone charged without a cable across the console.
