C Class Estate (2022) 220d AMG Premium
Wireless Phone Charging
Picked up my C 220d estate AMG Premium in Selenite Grey on Tuesday. Lots to love about it but something i hadnt realised (and i do a lot of research!) - the current W206 range (all models i believe) will not have wireless phone charging. 1st world problems, i know. But having swapped a 4 year old A6 that did have it - im kinda missing it. Just another knock on of the global chip shortage, but ive now got a brand new merc that id usually keep for 3-4 years with plug in charging. Such a shame.

It's a trim option but has been delayed - so some cars that should have it might not.
If I were in those shoes - I'd but a wireless pad to stick in the center console. Not ideal - but there are ways around it.

my 2022 C300 has it. But my car is in the shop while Mercedes engineers figure out what cause the rotors and pads to go bad on a car with 99 miles. 21 more days and Lemon Law takes effect in CA.

W206 C200
I have the wireless option in my c200 launch edition. It is not working with my iPhone 13 Pro. Older iPhone X charges fine. Car was waiting in the factory for 9 months and just got delivered 2 months ago. So far it has been a ****show. Rotors and pads been replaced on mine on day 1 before delivery to me because the car was sitting for a long time in the factory. Lots of software problems with the automatic emergency braking (lots of false positives) and while driving above 90km/h there is a constant vibration in the car. Already got 4 new tires, didn’t solve it. Now I have filed an official compliant with Mercedes Netherlands and the car is going back to the dealership for the 4th time in 2 months on Monday. They will investigate again.

my car is going on Day 9 at the dealer for the brakes and rotors waiting for MB engineering in Germany to evaluate everything. If this comes to 30 days here in CA I will initiate a buy back/repurchase of this car with MBUSA. I already have an active case with them on this issue. My car when braking would clunk and thump when firmly applying the brakes. MB engineering has to be involved because this is a new car. My car was made in 10-21 and delivered to the dealer on May 19th. Clearly MB holding up these cars for so long has caused issues with the brakes and rotors. Even google says rotors and pads can rust if the car sits for longer than a month without it being driven.
clearly something is wrong with this car! I urge anyone with this problem to contact MBUSA if your in the United States or the equivalent where you are located.

I have Wireless Phone charging on my S206 but it was part of an option pack. It's a bit hit and miss for charging phones with a phone cover. The phone needs to be wiggled around for it to work sometimes.

What phone brand and model you have? I have an iPhone 13 pro without a case and sometimes in a blue moon it will charge for a short time when I wiggle it. Once again, no wiggling needed for iPhone X with or without case. Pathetic merc engineers.

I use an iPhone 11 Pro with an Apple Case. I don't use the Wireless charger so often so it's not a big issue for me.
