Wireless Charging

[MTY55]

Doesn't work in my 2016 Sierra with a Motorola Turbo II in an Otterbox case. If I take the case off its iffy.

Mine I can't just toss it into the tray.

 

When the S7 is pushed to the rear of the tray it will charge, it doesn't charge if the phone is pushed to the front of the tray.

 

Nice that the radio screen indicates when it is charging.

Mine will charge without the case if its all the way to the back and slightly up the back incline. Not worth the aggravation to me. If I need to charge I have a Verizon mobile charger. or the turbo charger plugged into the 120 outlet. Have to use that for something.

also if I leave my case on my galaxy s6 and use the wireless charger the phone seems to get hot.as I said earlier quick charger plugged into power outlet works best for me

What is everyone getting for charging times on these and the hardwire usb connection straight to your phone if you checked. I have the Samsung Galaxy s7 and when it was a 8% it said it would take over 5 hours to fully charge... Read the same on the wireless pad and usb connections to the phone (in the console and on the dash connections)

I have an S5 Neo and I would say it charges about the same as any other USB.

 

*Note USB 1.0 is 1amp and USB 2.0 is 2.1amp so it does charge faster on a better USB port. I think these are USB 2.0 but I honestly have not checked (just would be silly to make them 1.0 in this day and age since they actually do data too but same could be said for them not being 3.0 which is even better and readily available) . Wireless charging is less than 1amp so its like a trickle charge.

I don't bother with the wireless charging since I have to plug in to usb for android auto. But it will work on my s7 about every fifth try if I put it just off the back edge. It is a worthless feature since I have to take the case off my phone for it to work.

I have the S7 Edge and it'll charge much faster than 5 hours from dead. You could rewire your setup to use the following bits which will give you "fast wireless charging" on your S7.

For the USB adapter you can break the case apart and use the circuit board only to reduce the size if you need.

I'm glad I don't have the OEM wireless charger in my '15. Gives me the easy ability to upgrade as hardware gets better. For example, I just recently switched out the charging pad for a fast wireless charger pad. Big improvement.

What fast wireless charger did you use?

This is the one that i used in this video

CHOE Qi Wireless Charger Kit for Galaxy S4 / S IV/ I9500 (Wireless Charging Pad and Receiver Included)

Link: http://amzn.com/B00C40OG22If you have any questions feel free to ask them

here is a link to the charger that i used you might even find it cheaper.

Link: http://amzn.com/B00C40OG22 (Choetech T511 7.5W Qi Wireless Charging Pad)

if your phone has wireless charging capabilities this will work.

also if you want to skip the step with the tie wrap i found out that you can just pull the under side off the console by prying them apart there are no screws that hold them together.

I bought an OEM lid off EBay with the charger, it has 3 wires - yellow, black and green. Does anyone have the wiring schematic or know which are power and ground plus what the 3rd wire is?

3rd is probably a signal wire to tell the radio to display the symbol which indicates that the system is 'charging'.
