Wireless charging pad issue

[NewtoToyota]

Here is the link, looks like it went up in price a little bit but I imagine any magnetic wireless charger would work.

Looks like I don't know how to add a link, it only appeared as the amazon logo. It is called Bohuma Magnetic Wireless Charger for iPhone

No real modifications to make it work. Used some double sided tape to secure it in place and angled them so the wires run down toward the bottom of the little cubby. Routed the wires along the molle panel on the passenger side using some black zip-ties to keep them tight and out of the way, then they plug in right at the USB-C ports.

I also use apple car play when I am driving to have a map and music playing. This has been perfect for keeping my phone charging while not having to run a cord to it and find a place to stow it.

Attempting to charge with a pixel 8 pro and experiencing intermittent charging as well. No matter the position or orientation of the phone, it simply will not maintain a wireless charging connection. Turn the span off 2 minutes it would connect and disconnect maybe 10 times.

I just bought aftermarket ones and ran a clean install of the wire to still get full function of wireless CarPlay. Stock wireless charger is worthless. Actually when using CarPlay it wouldn’t even charge just lost less.

I was having some "issues" with my Pixel 8 Pro, the wireless charging was basically going on and off. I set a pen under the phone to lift it up a hair and it charged my entire commute home.. so maybe it's just a little finicky with certain phones and their exact connection points for the wireless pad?

I've no issues with mine keeping a charge active (that I've noticed) but similar to others, if your running wireless Android Auto (or CarPlay) it can't keep up. I the up net lower charge, just not as low as it would have been not charging. It's like 2 steps back and 1 step forward. (In all the vehicles I've driven or been in with wireless qi charging not a single one from any manufacturer has qi that can keep up with, or best, the battery demand from CP or AA)

I use it for short trips or when I'm not really concerned. But I bought a high performance USB-C cable with a right angle plug for use when lower battery or longer trips. That easy the phone can still sit there but sits clean and flat with the cable running horizonal already.

Coming from a vehicle where I was always a cable and a suction window mount, still light years better than what I had!
