Fitting aftermarket Wireless Charger + Android Auto / Apple CarPlay in MG4 Standard

[the happy bunny]

I have just fitted a wireless charger from AliExpress on my MG4 SE. In combination with a CarLinkIt wireless AndroidAuto/Apple CarPlay, it allows for a full wireless experience.

It just works fine.

Here are some pictures documenting the installation

Where does the wire connect to?

There are no available connectors in the centre console, so you need to obtain a +12V from the fuse box and a mass on the body.

From the pictures I can’t see how you did that.

I plugged the fuse directly into an empty socket in the fuse box and secured the claw along with a bolt.

How did you remove the gear knob? I can't seem to get this off.

Thanks

Just pull it (not too) hard!

Hi @the happy bunny. Can you provide more details about the installation (fuse box location, how to remove the central console without breaking it etc..). Thanks

Bumping this in the hope that someone might be able to help our new member.

The fusebox is not readily accessible. I couldn’t tell for sure where it’s located in RHD vehicles, but in LHD cars, it’s on the driver side (left side). You’ll need to open the door and remove the side cover. You will need a panel removal tool.

OK I am French too so LHD. I thnik I understand how to access the fuse box. Once I take out the screws, I can let down the cover. I started trying to remove the central console with a bike tyre lever but it is too big. Would this be enough then to pass the wire from the console through the fuse box?

I reckon a bike tyre lever is too large to fit in…

He used a fuse tap. Halfords sell them.

The provided fuse cable has 2 pins but the fuse box needs a 3 pins fuse...and where does the cable go from the center console to the fuse box ? I Can unmount the console and access the fuse box but i don't know how to fully hide the cable

I've just tried this with no luck. OP Any chance you could take a picture of the fuse tap insitu? Need to know if I've plugged this into the fuse box right.
