How to Turn On the Wireless Charging in Trumpchi?

The method to turn on the wireless charging in Trumpchi is: 1. Locate the wireless charging switch in front of the gear lever; 2. Press the wireless switch to turn it on. Wireless charging, also known as inductive charging or non-contact inductive charging, utilizes near-field induction, i.e., inductive coupling, to transfer energy from the power supply device (charger) to the electrical device. The device uses the received energy to charge the battery and simultaneously powers its own operation. Taking the Trumpchi GS4 as an example: The Trumpchi GS4 is a compact SUV equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine and a 6-speed manual transmission. The dimensions of this vehicle are 4545mm in length, 1856mm in width, and 1668mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2680mm.

I've used wireless charging on my Trumpchi car, and the operation is actually quite simple. After starting the vehicle, take a closer look at the storage compartment area below the center console. You'll notice a section with a lightning bolt symbol—that's the wireless charging pad. Just place your Qi-compatible phone flat on it, but remember to remove overly thick phone cases. I tried it on the GS4, and after placing the phone, the screen displays a green 'Charging' icon. The location may vary across different models; for instance, in the new M8 Master, it's inside the armrest box, which requires manually flipping open the lid. If there's no response, first confirm that the vehicle is ignited or powered on, then check if the phone is properly positioned—sometimes a slight angle misalignment can cause poor contact. The car also features temperature protection, automatically pausing charging if overheating occurs, which is quite thoughtful.

Discovering that GAC Motor's wireless charging requires three conditions to be met: first, the vehicle must be started or in the power-on state; second, locate the charging area marked with a coil symbol in the armrest box or under the center console; third, the phone itself must support wireless charging functionality. Simply place the phone face up, and a charging prompt will pop up on the screen. If it doesn't start, it's recommended to check if the wireless charging switch near the cigarette lighter has been accidentally turned off. Also, remember to avoid placing keys, metal cards, or other items that may interfere with charging nearby. From my experience, Huawei Mate and iPhone are the most responsive when placed on the charger, while some older Android models may require position adjustments to trigger charging.

The operation is extremely simple. After getting in the car and starting the engine, place your phone face down directly on the area below the center console with the WiFi-style wavy lines. Wait a second or two, and the battery symbol will pop up on the instrument cluster. Make sure to align the phone with the center—it can charge in both portrait and landscape orientations, but portrait is more stable. You'll feel a slight vibration feedback when charging begins. Note that the maximum charging power is 15W; in real-world tests, an iPhone can charge about 20% in half an hour. During summer, prolonged charging will definitely cause the phone to heat up, triggering automatic protection to pause charging—just let it cool down before placing it back. From my experience, it's perfect for charging a phone used for navigation, but for gaming, wired charging is still faster to prevent battery drain.
