Hi there. I have installed a decent alternate wireless phone charging pad. It cost just £20 from Amazon, and you just have to plug it into the USB C socket.
You can read about it or buy it here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09 ... UTF8&psc=1
Another neat, albeit wired solution, is to buy a very short 'ribbon' style rubber USB C, which I am now using in the second 'passenger' socket:

Cheap alternative for wireless phone charging
The rubber mat solution looks like just the ticket! Very tidy. Could please share the link to Amazon?fivetide wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 12:35 pm Hi there.

Little mat is decent quality and works fine for me so far.
It also comes with a large non-friction rubber mount that allows you to stand your phone up if that's what you prefer, as well as a handy spare cigarette socket to USB / USB C adapter, which fits nicely in the boot.
I posted Amazon links below each photo. Let me know if you cannot see those. Cheers.

It fits pretty snuggly, so I haven't had any slippage so far, but there are also half a dozen sticky pad thingies included which I haven't needed to use as of yet. The phone finds a 'sweet spot' quite naturally.
I'm impressed at what you get for £20, and it delivers next day. I'm hoping it will just sit there now as a permanent fixture, so chances are the cable won't have a chance to fracture from any in/out.
Of course, this is not a long-term test yet - I've only had the car a week, and the pad less than that
ps. If you mean friction between the pad and the phone, then there is no issue for me - the mat is rubbery, and so is the thin silicone case I have on my phone. I'd say it depends on your phone/case.

Thank you. I’ve been considering getting a wireless pad for the non wireless part of the charge tray but yet to come across a thin one that sits at least halfway below the divider in the middle to provide a bit of support to stop it flying off.
