Wireless Charging Shelf

[McCarthy]

All vehicle wireless pads are unreliable. Period. With or without cases regardless of make/model. Standalone wireless desk chargers are great but in car “sometimes maybe good sometimes maybe shit”

It's not even that. I've tried to use the wireless charger with the truck stationary and idling and even then I had to mess with it for a few mins for it to stay charging, and then it charged something like 20% in 2 hours. Useless.

Best the pad does for me is hold the charge. Doesn't go up, but doesn't let it go down either.

Bizarre the $9 amazon wireless charging pad works great.

Upgraded to ios17 earlier this week and all of a sudden the phone is charging! Guess it was an Apple thing, not a Ford thing.

OK. I left the shore yesterday at 20 something % and was at 70 something % when I got to PA.

I rarely use the charging pad but mine works on my iPhone 15 Pro Max. If i need charge i just use the usb charging slot. As noted by others the pad just really holds the charge.

Does the usb output much more power? I was considering just gutting the wireless charging (or disable in forscan if that’s a thing) and then just run a MagSafe charger pad on that shelf.

it definitely charges my iPhone much faster when the phone is plugged in any of the USB ports.

So I just got a sync update last night and it went from revision 610 to 915. This morning I drove 35 minutes and my phone never stopped wireless charging. Perhaps that is what I needed.
