Welcome to the forum and congrats on your new beast. Wireless Carplay and in your case Andriod auto works off bluetooth, so the wireless charging has no bearing on your wireless andriod auto/apple carplay connection. That connection should remain regardless if you place it on the charging pad or not.

Now for wireless charging, it appears the charging pads on these are notorious to cut in and out and be finacky with connection, but again your actual adriod auto connection should not be affected regardless of charging connection.

I place my phone sideways in that skinny slot between the shifter and the cup holders. Carplay in my case connects wirelessly no issues, of course that is not the charging spot and therefore not wirelessly charging when resting there.

Awesome you are enjoying a Raptor in Abu Dhabi! Welcome again to the forum.
Thanks for the detailed reply sorry I don't think I was very clear the connection with Bluetooth is fine no problems there it's the wireless charging that keeps disconnecting every few minutes or so which makes it pretty much useless.. Not sure if it's faulty or not

The charging pad sucks and it restricts reception hidden in there. I use the 120 volts and cord and put phone in the little slot by the shifter.

Hi all!

I just took delivery of my new Gen 3 yesterday it's my first Raptor and so far I am loving it! The only issue I'm having with it is the wireless charging it keeps cutting out on my Samsung phone... I won't lie it's really annoying as I was looking forward to the wireless Android auto especially after having to plug in to my last car everytime..

Looking forward to years of driving this beauty!
