seawolfxix Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 The wireless charging pad in my 2022 SEL is about worthless. I have an iPhone XR and an iPhone 12 mini, but neither stays in position for reliable charging. Has anybody come up with a solution for this? I wish there was a MagSafe tray that could be used to keep the newer phones in position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sage Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 I hope someone has seen something that helps out. I have the same issue with my iPhone 13 on my 19 ST . This started when Apple started using MagSafe charging features. I purchased an aftermarket MagSafe pack to use on longer trips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLTEdge Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 This is a problem with all modern smartphones and most wireless chargers. They will charge some if phone screen off and nothing running. But turn on wireless AA or Carplay, use GPS and let some tunes flow... And you're using more power than the charger puts out. Some of these new phones pull almost Same amps as a small tablet. In my opinion they are only good for bedside, desk charging or a passenger phone not being used. Only fix is plug in a cord. If your phone is actually moving or vibrating off charging plate, get a thinner tackier/rubberized phone case. Clean the pad too, it may have some oils on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
