If I get an M2 in the next few months I may look into the feasibility of redesigning the Qi charger. Would go along with this mod.
Since the wiring is already there I've wondered if it would be possible to remove the stock cradle, buy one of those stick-on Qi pads, and just attach that to the underside of the tray that comes with non-wireless charging cars. Don't know if the existing wiring provides the necessary voltage, etc., or if the material of the insert would preclude charging, but I think that would be a better solution. Then you could either use it as a charger or just storage, depending on your needs that day. It's not like I'm worried about my phone flying around in that tiny console.
