I have a magsafe charger, but when I plug it in to either of the USB ports near the phone holder or the USB port in the arm rest, it will charge and then stop then start again. Charger works fine in the house. Any ideas/thoughts? I really want to wireless charge because plugging and unplugging the cable is annoying. LOL

It may be pulling too many amps for the USB ports? But I think others have tried a mag safe and it worked. Not sure about that one tbh

If I remember correctly, it's a 15w wireless charger. I wonder if I switch my phone from fast wireless charging if that would solve the issue. Going to have to try that one. Anyone know the power output from the USB ports? Is it in the owners manual?

Usb ports too weak, you need ac plug

Good call. The charger in my pic above is connected to a brick in the inverter.
