Does the Audi A6 have wireless phone charging?

Audi A6L has a USB interface. There is a hidden box under the rear seat air conditioning, which contains a USB interface and power supply. The front row of the Audi A6 does not have a USB interface, only the rear row has one. Functions of the USB interface: The main functions of the USB interface include playing music from a USB drive, charging mobile phones, using a USB car cigarette lighter, car vacuum cleaner, electronic dog, and dash cam. Supported formats for the USB interface: The music formats supported by the USB interface multimedia player vary, but most cars support MP3 and WMA formats.

As an owner of an older A6, I've researched this issue. The new A6 does come with wireless charging, but it's not standard on all models. For example, mid-to-high trim models on the C8 platform after 2020 (like the 45TFSI Premium) have the charging pad in the storage compartment under the center console. When I opted for it on mine, it cost over 2000 yuan, and the design is a bit recessed—larger phones need to be adjusted to the right angle for detection. Note that this feature is sensitive to phone case thickness; my iPhone 13 with a thick case often wouldn't charge, but switching to an ultra-thin case made it stable. If your car is a pre-2019 C7 platform, you'll mostly need to install a third-party module yourself, as the factory provides a retrofit position.

Last time when accompanying a friend to pick up the A6, I specifically checked the wireless charging configuration. The salesperson said Audi now adopts an optional package strategy - entry-level models usually require adding a 7,500 yuan winter package to get wireless charging, but top configurations like the 2023 55TFSI come with it standard. The charging position is thoughtfully designed - there's a non-slip padded groove in front of the armrest console, which fits an iPhone 14 Pro perfectly in our test, though Max models protrude slightly. Another detail: the charging pad has a blue indicator light when the vehicle starts, turning green when charging begins. If charging fails, first check if the phone is misaligned, then verify whether it's simultaneously connected to CarPlay via cable as these two functions conflict.

When it comes to wireless charging in the Audi A6, it depends on the specific model year. Post-2019 facelift models (internal code C8) with certain configurations have it, hidden under the storage compartment floor in front of the gear lever. Borrowing a press car from a journalist friend, I found the actual charging power is around 10W despite the claimed 15W, with Android phones charging slightly faster than iPhones. Three key points to note: First, ensure the car has the 'Phone Box' optional package (includes a signal booster), otherwise your phone will lose signal when placed there. Second, be aware that the charging pad has poor heat dissipation, causing phones to overheat on long trips. Third, phones with large camera modules like the Huawei Mate60 need to be placed upside down to align with the charging coil.
