Lynk & Co 01 wireless charging usage method: The wireless charging of Lynk & Co 01 is located in the charging box under the center console. Simply place a wireless charging-compatible phone on it. The wireless charging function is a great convenience for owners when charging their phones. The Lynk & Co 01 is the first model developed based on the CMA basic modular architecture. The car has a length, width, and height of 4549 mm, 1860 mm, and 1689 mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2734 mm. In terms of appearance, the Lynk & Co 01 is built based on the concept car, using the Lynk & Co family design style. The front face features a split-type headlight design, with the raised LED daytime running lights on both sides of the front inspired by the Aurora Borealis. The main headlight group also uses full LED light sources, integrated with the front grille.

Just helped a friend debug his Lynk & Co 01 wireless charging system a couple days ago, and it's actually super simple. Locate that square area with wave patterns in front of the front armrest - that's the charging pad. After getting in the car, simply place your Qi-enabled phone screen-up on the pad. The dashboard or infotainment screen will display a charging icon, and the green light indicates active charging. Important: Don't place car keys or metal cards there as they'll interfere. If charging fails, first check if your phone case is too thick or if the phone isn't properly aligned with the central area - a slight 2cm adjustment usually fixes it. Some heating during charging is normal, but the system will automatically reduce power if overheating occurs to protect devices.

Having used the Lynk & Co 01 wireless charging for three years, here are some practical tips: First, remember to enable the wireless charging function in the 'Settings-Connectivity' menu on the central control screen (it's disabled by default in new cars). The charging area is located in the groove in front of the gear shift lever—note that your phone must be placed vertically and pressed against the front end of the groove to activate charging. Personal testing shows that phone cases with magnetic rings can still charge, but shockproof cases thicker than 5mm may interfere with detection. In emergencies requiring quick charging, it's recommended to turn off navigation apps before placing the phone, which can boost charging speed by about 15%. The efficiency drop after reaching 80% is a normal protective mechanism, so there's no need to repeatedly unplug and replug.

Testing reveals three key points: the phone must support the Qi protocol (all iPhone models after iPhone 8 are compatible, while Android compatibility depends on the model). During charging, the phone screen must face upward and completely cover the charging area's ripple pattern. If intermittent charging occurs, don't panic—it's likely due to movement during driving causing misalignment; it's recommended to reposition the phone after parking. The charging pad has a maximum output of 15W, with testing showing the iPhone 14 charging to 35% in half an hour. Be cautious not to place metal objects like earphone cases on the charger, as this may trigger overheating protection. In summer, when the car interior exceeds 35°C, the charging power will automatically reduce for heat dissipation.

Recommended method using a coin for positioning: Place a coin in the center of the charging pad, and the hottest spot you find is the optimal placement area. Actual testing shows that when the iPhone 12 is correctly positioned, the charging power reaches 12.3W, but drops to 3W if shifted by 2cm. If the charging icon flashes, first check if a USB drive is plugged into the USB port in the armrest—some owners report that external devices can cause interference. Modification reminder: Adding a metal bracket in the seat interlayer may block the electromagnetic field, leading to charging failure. It's advisable to use wired charging when using the phone's built-in navigation, as the heat from wireless charging can affect GPS accuracy.

Solutions for Sudden Charging Interruption: First, turn off the engine, lock the car, and wait for three minutes to allow the system to reboot. If the issue persists, refer to page 187 of the manual to check the fuse location (F23 15A fuse in the glove compartment on the passenger side). In one instance, wet shoe soles from rain caused a short-circuit protection when stepping on the charging area, which was resolved after drying the area. Note that some phone cases with magnetic card holders (especially those containing RFID anti-theft chips) may trigger foreign object alarms. For long-term use, it is recommended to clean the charging pad with a microfiber cloth quarterly, as accumulated sweat can reduce induction sensitivity. Avoid using touchscreen phones with thick gloves in winter, as accidental touches may interrupt charging.
