Ha...I have a similar situation. When I buy something that has an especially nice foam insert I usually toss the foam into a pile in the corner of the shop (wifey gives me grief about saving that 'junk'). Guess who's gonna go raid his foam pile and cut a little U out? lol. How far up would you say the bottom of your U pushes your phone? I'm thinking maybe 1/2 inch?

Not sure if this has been posted or not (didn't read the entire thread, sorry). I just did the following to recover mine after it stopped working a few weeks in: - Forgot the bluetooth connection on my iphone - Forgot the wifi connection on my iphone - Deleted the phone from the 'connections' section of the truck - Deleted the trusted device from the truck - Held down the hangup button for 20 seconds and let the truck reboot - Went to the "CarPlay" section of the iphone settings - Went to the connections section in the truck, then to phones, add phone - When the truck showed up as an available vehicle in the CarPlay section of the iphone settings, I clicked it That took me through the standard pairing stuff (codes, click pair on both screens, etc) and then CarPlay started working again. I've drive the truck (off / on) 5 times or so today after doing this and all seems to be well. Fingers crossed.

Interesting, appreciate the heads up! I do have a 'standard' size phone (not the oversize garage door opener my wife has, lol). I wondered about that, will look into making a little foam block to sit at the bottom

My theory on this one is that something about your phone is not accepting the charge. On mine, I believe it is the 'optimized charging' setting on the phone that charges it to a certain percentage and then turns off charging. Now if I could just figure out why wireless CarPlay fails 70% of the time...
