Lol If I'm correct, that's 2020.25my build so I guess from that build onwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I'd expect it possible just to be able to buy the rubber mat part and it will fit olders model years. Doesn't look like any of the surrounding plastic has changed, just the mat itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From this video it looks like the new mat is thinner and more grippy. Hopefully it’ll work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I wish there was a way to turn the pad off. If I'm using Carplay I have it plugged in to USB and don't want it cooking on the pad, it can power just from USB. There isn't really a good spot to have it for carplay/adnroid auto without it on the pad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlord01 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 i got the wireless charger for free in my 2019 vignale. Its a waste of time. The new design looks like an improvement and they could probably retrofit that (by the look of it, its just a rubber mat). but really, what is the point. to use Apple carplay/Android auto, your gonna have to plug in your phone anyway.

There are two channels either side of the lid, the USB cable comes out of there (the lid can then close) and the phone sits sideways right in front of the armrest. My old phone was just short enough to sit in the armrest (under the tray) itself while plugged in, my new one is a little taller and I'd need a right angled plug for it to fit.

simps100 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Converted my car play to wireless using one of these dongles - reviews are mixed but generally works pretty well in my Focus - they have rolled out updates recently which improved the device for me quite a lot to manage to get good use out of my wireless pad! https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B089M7TPNG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_EJqrFb9DASGD2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally just like the convenience of getting in the car with phone still in pocket and going - admittedly it’s more convenient for shorter journeys where in the past id just not bother plugging it in rather than longer drives.

I see your point - I did have an amazon voucher laying around from Christmas and there was a % off so I did end up paying just under £70 in cash for mine which did soften the blow a bit! It’s a shame Ford are still not offering wireless car play sounds like will need to wait till Sync 4 for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, we pay so much for these cars, that its a drop in the ocean really but it's something I'd not pay for. Is there any chance an update to Sync 3 could happen to allow wireless AA and Carplay or is it hardware related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ams Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Hi everyone, I've been using Carplai2Air dongle in my car for about a month. It's cheaper then the one mentioned above. Regular software updates as well. https://carplay2air.com It even works with Sync 3.4 Hope this might help someone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmcg71 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Dealer didn’t get a delivery today, lorry broke down. Hopefully new mat tomorrow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmcg71 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Got the new mat today. Vast improvement. The old one would have disconnected as soon as I started moving. This updated mat did not stop charging at all on the drive home which includes a quite tight turning slip road off the motorway. Highly recommended and well worth the £10 it cost. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Picked one up for myself today too. Only asked my dealer at 16:40 yesterday 😄 I'm still going to keep my pad at the back (towards front of the car) in place, but it's much more secure and keeps it lined up with the charger now. I slid it up and down and it never stopped charging. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
