Has anyone used any of these with a Quadlock case? I have been using the Quadlock cases for a while now and really like them, I have the suction mount in my other cars with charging head. Really curious how the wireless charging is with other chargers. Thanks

After some research, I got the TWraps MagSafe charger with matching wood finish. Am very happy with it. It seamlessly keeps the phone in position and charges at a good speed.

I have the this one too and am really happy with it. Looks good and works like a champ. Aesthetically, I like the look and texture of others a little better. I was envisioning my kids using the drawer/bowl as junk storage though. Ha. Made the decision easier.

I have had the Stowncharge and it has generally worked well charging. I am considering a different one because the sliding cover has begun to rattle just a bit (I have an unhealthy low tolerance for rattles).

On Amazon, some of the photos show a wood grain finish, while others do not. Is this a choice/option?

The wood grain finish is a vinyl stick on so it appears wood finish to match the interior of your car.

Have a look at ours -

it's dash mounted - not center console....

Made from cnc-cut and formed aluminum (not plastic, not 3d printed)
As rigid as you can get!
actually bolts-on (no tape, no clips, no glue)
includes power wire to tap into fuse panel

Just went to install this on my 2025 R1S gen2, there is no fuse block under the panel. Do you have a new guide on how to install?

Another vote for Stowncharge. You might have to get on a waitlist to get one, but it's worth it.

Also make sure to use one of the two approved style of pucks. I went through a whole "ordeal" recently to find ones that would work with my Pixel 8 Pro and also fit in the allotted space. After ordering a half-dozen different models of puck, only the Jsaux ones fit and worked. Although I do wish the cords weren't quite so long (takes lots of wraps to make them fit). ?

Edit: I also like the OpensourceEV Nexgen dash phone mount for clipping my phone to the left-side of steering wheel, if I need to use it while driving.

Not yet, I did call the manufacture, they have a Gen 2 kit being released in the next few weeks and will swap it for me, they were very responsive. Will update when I get the new kit, for now I’m just using it as a MagSafe holder.

I’m trying to wire up some additional hardware and I don’t want to tap odb2 since I think the energy provided is pretty low - could be wrong. I also opened up the “fuse panel” and then realized they had replaced everything with e-fuses.

The best solution I found is getting a slim magsafe power bank, and mounting that in a phone holder. This way the car charges the power bank, and the bank is wirelessly charging the phone, even when the car is off.
