Phone charge pad

[JONESER]

Does anybody have a secret to keep your phone from sliding off.. Pretty stupid design to be at an angle with nothing holding your phone there but some rubber.

2019 XLT
Thanks in advance

I have an otter box on mine and the wife has a standard rubber phone cover which both protects and is somewhat sticky enough that the phones don’t slide. I was surprised that they still charge through the covers, especially the otter box.

Get a dash mount and downgrade the bin.

Center Stowage Compartment Downgrade

Just did this mod to gain real estate back from the front stowage compartment in the center console. My previous XLT did not have the wireless charging option and I used to throw a lot of smaller odds 'n ends in there vs the armrest storage bin. I thought I would like my new setup with the...

I've found this feature to be intermittent with charging. When placing the phone on the pad, the "charging" indicator on the phone would light up, then a few minutes later, it would shut down. Then a few minutes later, it would charge up again. Aggravating.

The charger quickly became outdated and cannot cope with today's phones. When you pull the WACS out of the consoles there is a whole module that controls it. The on-off cycling is due to the load on the charger, heat buildup, etc.

The charger is awful, but it sounds like you are missing the part with the little shelf to hold it in place. In truth you are only missing out on using the slowest wireless charger ever built.

Hi Joneser - I love the wireless charging feature on our Expy. I suspect the problem you're dealing with is because your "pencil holder" is missing. It looks like the photo of mine laying on the console for clarity. My charger looks like this when the "pencil holder" is in place. I don't know where you would get one, but you might check Rock Auto Parts, or Ford Parts OEM, etc. My Z Flip 7 sits on there just fine, and it charges really fast.

Thanks everyone! Merry Christmas...

That pad is useless for a large phone and charges so slow it is not even worth it. Not to mention the phone gets way too hot. I removed the whole tray and put in a tray with no charger to gain useful space. I use the cigarette lighter outlet with a super fast charge for the phone now. It chargers WAY faster and is easier to use despite having to use a cord.

Thanks @ZigZagFred , That’s what I’m missing!!

my '19 won't even charge my svelte relatively low power Pixel 9.

If anybody has the scoop on the part, I need, I would appreciate a link or a part number. Thanks in advance.

Wireless charge pad - phone slip down

I purchased a used limited 2018 max. Annoyingly 2 cup holder inserts were missing. I finally found the part numbers. Knowing about the missing inserts I am suspecting that something is missing at the bottom of the phone charging pad. It is impossible to keep my iPhone XR on the pad. Is there a...
