    I have a Prius prime 2024 with wireless charger. Unfortunatly I can't charge my Apple 16 pro with it. Is this a common issue? Any suggestions to get it to work would be great. Thanks

    Does the 16 Pro lie perfectly flat on the charger bed and the charger On button is in fact on?
    Since I’ve been getting Pro Max iPhones which are too large to lay flat in the charger I use the space for storing stuff.

    IMHO, Toyota's OEM wireless charging is just a gimmick. Even if you do get it to work, it'll continuously connect and disconnect as your going down the road. The only way to get reliable power into your phone is a hardwired USB cord.

    I added a MagSafe charging puck to the slot and used Velcro so if I ever need to take it out I can. Using this setup the phone charges in the slot and I just plugged it into the usb c port in the center console area. Yeah we all know it should work without having to rig up our own fix but it’s a 45 dollar fix and it works great.
