I guess I am confused by for what you are looking.

Are you interested in improved inductive charging, connection with roof antenna, or something else?

I neither have an Iphone nor vehicle with 6NW.

I have read various reports that wireless charging in cars does not offer much more than ability to maintain charge. Comparatively, the usb port will output 2+ amps for fast charging.

I have noticed that when I place phone between dash and windshield, I get better service. The only problem is when it is hot outside and consequently heats up phone. Alternatively, if I plug phone into usb port on my ID4 vehicles, I only get 0.5 amperes but do get improved cellular connection in areas of weak coverage.

As such, that is why I was curious if you compared reception between wireless and tethered connection.
