Wireless Phone Charging Pad

[CTK59]

Yes, it's a nice feature and will help mitigate battery drain while traveling, but the biggest issue I found is that whipping around turns (which I love to do now without the leaf springs!) really slings it off of the charger. I might add some weather stripping I have left over from sealing my tailgate gap to act as a bumper to keep it in the most effective position.

Weather stripping work?

I assume there is a MagSafe hack/plugin device that probably solves this problem. I’ve not researched it, but maybe someone will provide a link.

Seems like if the iPhone slides just a 1/4 of inch then it loses charging connection with the wireless Ford charger. So I switched to this:

Also, the camera bump on all recent iPhones (from like 10 and on) creates a gap between the phone and the Ford charging mat which 1) makes the charge power super weak and 2) makes the phone super hot. That's why I switched to MagSafe.

FYI, I took my truck in for a few warranty issues and this was one of them. They did a software update and ever since then the wireless charging has worked perfect!
