Has anyone tried out the wireless charging feature? How did it work?

The wireless phone charging works with my iphone 12 pro max fine. Don’t use it though because of it being plugged into carplay.

What phones have you used it for, and what case do they have?

I might add the wireless charger to my XLT if not to pricey

You can't. Wireless charging is available only in the Lariat Lux package.
But as a previous poster implied, it's not particularly useful since no Mavs support wireless Carplay or Android auto.

I know it isn’t available by Ford, doesn’t mean I can’t install it my self. I will enjoy the function as I won’t have my phone plugged in often for CarPlay.

I have a Samsung flip with a leather case , the rubber insert grips the leather well, no sliding. And it charges reasonably fast. I have heard complaints about phones moving in the charger breaking the connection. I haven't experienced that. Maybe smooth cases

The plan for me is to pug in every time I get in the car, so wireless is not a issue. I love the handsfree while driving and to get that needs to be plugged in. Only use I see for wireless charging would be for a passenger. And ford's wireless is around a $600 part if we wanted to add it to the XLT. So if I see a need in the future will go aftermarket.

Thanks for that information,
My main concern is that my phone inside its otterbox case has been unable to wireless charge on some chargers so I am worried that my case might be too thick for the power to penetrate reliably

How do you like your Flip?

Phone doesn’t stay in place. Moves while driving and reconnects awkwardly. If you are playing music via Bluetooth and charging at the same time, loss of battery connection (hitting a bump) will interrupt the play. Not that impressive of a feature. But useful for a passenger

So car play does not work with Bluetooth??

Correct, carplay only works when plugged in. However, you can follow some discussion of aftermarket dongles that enable wireless carplay. It may have some slight negative side effects of long initial connection, potential random disconnects, and slightly laggy audio or interface interaction but it seems to really depend since users don't report uniform experiences and different dongles may behave differently. So I guess we all just need to see some more reports of specific dongles, specific phone models, and specific SYNC3 (Lariat) vs XL/XLT slimmed down SYNC hardware/software and see what patterns we can find.
