So I picked up my 206 a couple of weeks back and just discovered the matt in what should be the ashtray location, with picture of a phone and wireless symbol. The manual say it should be QI/Wireless charging, but when i put my wife's iPhone 8 on it nothing happened. I know the Golf has this function but can't find anywhere on the net that indicates the Passat has it.

I'm just wondering whether anybody else has seen this and has gotten it to work, or is just a safe place to put my phone with a generic matt.

PS: Forgive me if this has already been answered.
