Product Usage Instructions

Operation of the WCPM2
The Stellantis Wireless Charging Pad Module 2 (WCPM2) has two main functions:

  1. NFC Communication: Facilitates NFC communication with a smartphone/NFC card and the vehicle’s SPAAK module.
  2. Wireless Charging: Charges a Qi-compliant smartphone with BPP supporting transfer of up to about 5W and EPP supporting transfer of up to about 15W of power.

LED Indicator Operation
The LED lights blue when a Qi-compliant device is placed on the unit.

Functions of the WCPM2

  • Wireless Charging: LED lights blue when a Qi-compliant device is placed on the unit.
  • NFC: No LED indication during SPAAK (NFC) mode.

WCPM2 Mode Descriptions
The WCPM2 has the following modes:

  • Normal Mode, Charging: When a Qi-compliant device is placed on the charger, the blue LED turns on until the device is fully charged or removed.
  • NFC Mode: NFC card is placed near the center of the unit. WCPM2 sends data only when there is a valid NFC card.
  • Sleep Mode: Less power consumption, not charging, NFC not active. Un-Powered WCMP2 is disconnected from battery power.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • What is the maximum charging power supported by the WCPM2?
    The WCPM2 supports wireless charging with a maximum power transfer of up to about 15W.
  • How can I check if my smartphone is Qi compliant?
    You can refer to your smartphone’s specifications or check for the Qi certification logo on your device.

Operation of the WCPM2
The Stellantis Wireless Charging Pad Module 2 (WCPM2) performs (2) separate functions First, the unit facilitates NFC communication with a smartphone/NFC card and the vehicle’s SPAAK (SmartPhone As A Key) module. Second, the unit will wireless charge a smartphone that is 1.3 Qi compliant, BPP (Baseline Power Profile) supporting transfer of up to about 5 W and an EPP (Extended Power Profile) supporting transfer of up to about 15 W of power.
LED Indicator Operation:

  • Solid Green: Fully Charged (if supported by Smartphone)
  • Solid Blue: Charging
  • Blinking Red: Internal fault/Foreign Object Detect
  • 2 Modes: Daytime (100% intensity) and Nighttime (10% intensity).

Functions of the WCPM2

  Functions
1 Wireless Charging LED lights Blue when Qi compliant device is placed on unit.
1a LED Blue LED – to be lit when charging, no blinking.

Red LED – to be lit and blinking while charging and an internal error has occurred, or foreign object detected.

Green LED – to be lit once charging is complete, no blinking.

2 NFC No LED indication during SPAAK {NFC} mode.

WCPM2 Mode Descriptions
Note: Include any details with regards to load etc. for specific component.

Name Mode Descriptions
Normal Mode, Charging Charging, 5W (BPP) 135kHz or 15W (EPP) 127kHz

Qi compliant device is placed on charger, the blue LED will turn ON and continue until the device is full charged or removed.

Normal Mode, NFC NFC card is placed near the center of unit. WCPM2 will send the data only when there is a valid NFC card.
Sleep Mode Less power consumption, not charging, NFC not active.
Un-Powered WCMP2 disconnected from Battery power
