Anyone retro fitted one in there mini. Came across this kit on Instagram, gunna have a look to see if there any cheaper kits although the quality of that one seems fairly decent.
I was thinking under the handbrake on the gen 2 would be a perfect place with a non slip mat should hold the phone securely and if you do get any notifications it wont catch your eye being doing between the seats.

Mine gets charged up via the Media Cable because I always plug it in to use MINI Connected.
The only issue that I can think of Mark is how would you stop your phone sliding on top of the charging pad ?

That kit comes with a rubberised mat. But if I do end up making my own solution I would cut a piece of mating just bigger than the phone that sat neatly in the little curved area under the handbrake issue with a cable is my phone doesnt fit in the cupholders and I dont really like my phone being easily accessible. I find it too much of a distraction especially if you have a few notifications and you have the little LED flashing all the colours of the rainbowOriginally Posted by CiderFex

Oh sorry maybe I didnt really explain my plan I would be attaching the charging coils to the underside of the handbrake recess so from above you would never know

Ahhh, I see.
I hope it works out for you Mark.
I’m O.K. when driving ‘cos mine automatically turns off notifications when it connects via Bluetooth. I can still take and make calls though via the button on the steering wheel.

It’s automatic on an iPhone.
I can’t see why it wouldn’t be available on other phones though.

There is an android drive app but I've never opened it.

That might be what you need.

So for mini connected does you phone have to be plugged in to the USB?
So how does the app work out of the car does it just save the last information the car had stored
