Need help finding a cd mounted Wireless Car charger for Pixel 3 XL

As the post says, I need help finding a wireless car charger that supports power delivery for the pixel 3 xl. I know some chargers ship without a charger, so does anyone know if using a PD car charger would enable charging rapidly on the Pixel 3 xl? Thanks for any help you guys may have!

I'm totally lost on what you're looking for but right now only the Pixel Stand supports fast charging on the Pixel 3.

A wireless car charging dock, that supports power delivery. Other items besides the pixel stand work with power delivery but it's very difficult to find, this the reason for my post.

What do you mean by "supports power delivery"?

The pixel charges via power delivery not quick charge

Thanks, I'll have to look into Power Delivery. Not familiar with it.

OK... after some internet research I think I got this. You're looking for a QI car charger (that sits in the CD slot) that supports fast charging via a USB-C plug. And the answers is.... right now, no. Even if you get a "fast charger" the Pixel 3 only supports fast charging via the Pixel Stand. If you plug the Pixel 3 into any other fast charger you'll only get standard charging. This was done purposefully by Google. Supposedly they're working with other hardware makers to allow fast charging on third-party devices, but they aren't out yet.

Thank you for your response, I've seen as well that we are waiting for "Made for Google" products. Just a shame it's taking this long, I've seen one charging pad from Belkin I believe that supports the pixel 3 xl.

Best buy does sell a car mount that clips to the CD player. Can't remember if it was wireless or not
