    2020 PP doesn't play well with my Samsung phone.

    Has anyone attempted swapping the factory phone charging pad for another more compatible pad?

    I don't know if there are any aftermarket 12v Qi charger that can replace the OEM Qi charger. I don't have Qi charger on my current 2020 LE model, but I don't miss it. I had it on my previous 2017 Premium model. I don't think the spec has changed on the Qi charger from 2017 to 2020. On my 2017 model, it was so slow, it basically did not charge any if the phone is on. I never really used it. I just bought a 45W USB-C car charger, it works so much faster.
