Love the idea. I’ve done this in the past with other car electronics and regularly ran into interference picked up on the audio. Post results if anyone has success trying this. Thanks.

My June 2020 build US spec P400 HSE would not wirelessly charge my iPhone 12 Pro. Dealer ordered part and installed it September 8 under warranty. Works great now.

I did what Dallasbbq did- a quick addition of 2 sided tape/ Velcro and it tucks under the console nicely.

I have installed Carlinkit adapter, which works great, but biggest problem appeared to be not this adapter, but Iphone wireless charging. It appears very difficult to charge Iphone wirelessly for more than 80% even with Smart Charging option off. Also Iphone keen to reduce charging speed to as low as 2,5-3W, when getting warm and it gets warm quickly every time it uses CarPlay navigation. If navigation is not in use and phone is initially cold plus battery is low, then it charges at maximum speed (7,5W) for like initial 10-15% charge and then speed is reduced to something like 5W and then to 3W, when battery gets to more then 70% charge.
Above said is valid for Iphone 11Pro, which is certified by Qi consortium as Base Power Profile (5W) unit charged with BPP certified charger. If I try to charge it with Extended Power Profile charger, then charging speed reduction is even quicker since Iphone gets warm much quicker. iPhone 12 is not even certified by Qi consortium so Apple says their MagSafe charger are unique, but also compatible with Qi chargers, so if anyone could confirm, how well it works with car mount chargers, it would be great. |

If you have a case on your iPhone, try taking it off. Phone cases, even Apple's own cases, are total Qi killers. Try your phone au naturel and see if you get better results. Mine gets hot when it's in a case and seems to charge slower, not so without.
Anyway, main idea of wireless charging is no hustle with the phone, when sit in the car. If it would be necessary to remove phone case every time then it’s much easier just to plug the cable |
I have a similar wireless carplay adapter as shown in some of the other posts but I often just use a cable instead of wireless. Here are some of the things i hate with the wireless carplay:

Wireless CarPlay kind of sucks! Sorry.
Had it in a previous BMW truck and almost exclusively still used the wired connection. |
