    If someone is interested: there is enough space in the cup holder cover on central console to put a Qi charger coil with its electronics. The coil must have enough power to charge the phone distanced a couple of millimeters without excessive heat (test it through the mouse pad e.g.). Also, to minimize interference with the smart key presence sensor you should put some Al foil under the coil.
