Wireless charger recommendations

[Lancer1991]

Now that I have Uconnect that has wireless Android Auto anyone have recommendations on lighting wireless chargers? I get in and out so much connecting to USB was PITA with previous truck and slow charging was awful. Not sure if getting a bracket that mounts behind the trim and then add-on charger to that or a suction cup model. I think I'd prefer something that uses magnets to hold phone vs something like the iottie auto sense clamping which showed up while searching best wireless chargers.

This is what I have. I used some self stick velcro to attach it right behind where my phone sits in the holder in the console. Works well, now that I have it plugged into a AC USB charger. Plugging the wireless charger into the USB ports did not work. The charging would start and stop over and over again.

I use the wireless charger from Quadlock. You need a matching phone case from them to accommodate the mount though but is very solid when connected. I found it only works if you plug into the upper dash cigarette lighter or the 115v plug inside the center console.

Here is a pic of what I did. Man, the camera really shows up the dust. I've only had the truck a couple weeks, so dirty already. I know what I'll be doing today...

I like this setup. I have a regular Qi charger in this same spot. How hard is it to line up the mag safe charger?

It was really easy because I stuck the charger to the phone and then inserted the phone into the holder and then pushed it back so the charger stuck to the truck. No issues at all.

That’s how I did mine too, but I had to tape it to my phone. Thanks for the info!

My setup black wire snaked behind the screen, easy to do in this truck and the mount clips behind as well, black wire plugged into AC wall wort since the usb ports suck. Red wire is for my passenger princess.

I initially had the same problem, i now plug the magsafe into a socket charger located at the top of the center dash area, seems to be working all the time now. When I initially used one of the ports on the cluster it would also interfere with my carplay wireless adapter, those problems have disappeared when i moved it also.
