Do you have the stock exhaust?
Yep, bone stock. It's not far off being where I want, Ive been there done that with previous V8s and near wide open exhausts. These cars deserve a bit more of a burble, at least to get it louder than my father's stock Cupra Ateca.
Friend of mine deleted the center silencer on the stock exhaust. It made for a more prominent sound without altering the nature of it.

Sounds like it's the next step then. Time to go get some quotes.

Wireless charger, or wireless carplay/android auto?

I thought there are both already available? 100% sure I nearly bought a wireless retrofit bluetooth carplay to USB adaptor the other day, but decided to wait and see if it got decent enough reviews. Apparently supports multiple phones too.

I did want to take it further when (hopefully) someone develops a retrofit wireless thngamabob that I could stick under the armrest liner, but I couldn't for the life of me figure how to seperate the liner from the body. Also it had phone prep with the pop up cradle still there. I had to use an oscillating tool to get it out, screw threads adhesive had failed so the screws just spun. There's probably a bunch of mess in that area where the cradle was.
If something does get developed for wireless android auto retrofit I'll go source another armrest.

Both, though I could only find one for carplay, there was/is a Kickstarter type campaign for an android one. But yeah quick search and nothin for Android wireless connection with charging. Not a hugely important feature to have so I'm leaving it for now.
