I`m going to test drive a model Y tomorrow. Will take some measurements from the front USB ports.I'm hoping that's the case. Gives me a good indicator as to what the wireless pad needs in terms of input.

Dude $80 for the USB c hub is not pricey at all.Not sure if the front hub can deliver more. But I finally got a tester and determined the wireless hub input is 9v. With one phone it draws 1.1-1.3A and with two phones it draws 2-2.4A.
Power Source: 12V socket adapter that has USB-C PD (5V 3A,9v 3/A,12V 2.5A)
Devices: 2x Samsung S9.
My goal is just to make this wireless charger work without making too many adjustments to the car. The newer Hub would be ideal, but it's a bit pricey at $80. What are your thoughts on a DC-DC buck converter tapping into a 12v line and stepping it down to 9v@3a (LM2596)?

Anywyasb, update is that my hub order has arrived at my service center. Still waiting on the 3 other parts (inductive wireless pad, lip, rear USB c vent). Will update.
I can technically just pick up the front USB c hub and do a install video/forum tutorial.... But I need to find some time to actually pick it up and do it.
I think it's interchangable. I have hw3. Car built in Nov 2019I might pony up and get it as I'm making this too complicated. But at 80 bucks I don't want to risk having compatibility issues with HW 2.5 and hardware ID on the hub. Since this hub is designed to work with newer 3/Y which would have HW 3.0. Do you have 2.5 or 3.0?
Physical connections I would say it's safe to do based on your research. But the SW side is where I'm concerned with 2.5 given that it has both Data and Power. Since you have 3.0, it should be good, keep us posted.I think it's interchangable. I have hw3. Car built in Nov 2019

The USB doesn't talk to the AP2.5/3 computer, it talks to the MCU. And I don't think the MCU side is any different between the two AP hardware configurations.

Since the new wireless charger is USB-C it has CC1 CC2 communication lines. I believe wireless charger has to receive data from the in-car UBS-C port about available charging voltages/current then send a correct voltage request to the car. My guess is if you feed 9V direct to the charger it may not start at all. Type-C requires bidirectional data communication between device and charger for handshaking. I did some measurements on Model Y today and will report about it later.Not sure if the front hub can deliver more. But I finally got a tester and determined the wireless hub input is 9v.

Only way I was successful was to show up to the service center, scan a QR code for a URL to fill out a form telling them I'm there and my name/number. Then I go back to my car and wait for the call.what did you do to order? did you call the order in? go to the shop? do it through the app?
Only way to check is wire the model Y wireless charging pad to a USB C PD 12v charger from the center console. Check the numbers there? I believe any PD enabled USB c charger has that handshaking tech in it. As for wireless charging, we are only looking at max 10W right? Maybe even only 7.5W for iPhones.Since the new wireless charger is USB-C it has CC1 CC2 communication lines.

also, a very good video about charging protocols:from 8:51 he talks about USB-C charging and data communication.
UPGRADE BUDDIES! Do we just find a parking lot and upgrade both cars at once?I ordered from Dublin too lol. Guess we should coordinate.
obviously the hub and charger dose support the handshaking. Both are USB-C PD compatible devices.
