Ok, I’m done with the built in charger situation. Also want to be able to see my phone, hands free. I’ve seen a phone holder that attaches to the screen, and another the vent. Anyone know of a MagSafe option that you can somehow access the power from the screen? I don’t want to run a cable all the way to one of the usb ports.

Also interested. All the wireless charger does it heat my phone up almost to the point that it’s too hot to touch. iPhone 15 pro without case.

I was searching for this solution too but was not able to find one. However I discovered running a cable down to the center console's usb ports wasn't bad. The cable starts behind the display screen and can be tucked into the crevice between the trim pieces then run down the side next to the driver's door. I also purchased a usb-c extension cable to ensure there is enough distance to track to the back of the center console.

Thank you!! If you have a couple of photos or even video of this solution, that would be amazing. Can you really not see the wire?

I've ordered the MagSafe charger from T-Sportline, and have watched their installation video. I'm not happy with how the wire comes down the front of the dash to get to the center console. Can anyone who's enterprising with this stuff come up with a way where that will run behind the dash? Something like this:
