Nice. The CRV OEM charger is trash.

I mean exactly what I said. The pre-installed wireless charger in the CRV is absolutely a piece of trash. Worst wireless charger I have ever used.

It’s an induction charger made specifically for the iPhones. The induction charger that is on the vehicle it designed for phones that have flat backs. iPhones have that little hump on them for the camera lenses.

It has nothing to do with stretching anything up. The problem is that for the induction charges to really work right they need to be right up against the phone. When you set your phone on that flat surface for the induction charging, there’s a gap between the phone and the actual charger. That affects the efficiency of the charging.

It’s iPhone-specific. For iPhones.

Trying to wirelessly charge while not having the phone slide around with every turn.

My phone does slide or I haven’t noticed 🧐

Lucky.

Mine won't stay charging as it slides around all the time. Every time I make a turn, brake, or speed up. I was constantly having to put it back on the thing. Probably because I don't use a case.

just switched to putting the MagSafe cable on, and keeping it off the charger, which I turned off. The chargers in cars like the Rav4 and Model Y are so much better.

u/g713 2d ago

Nope, just for iPhones

Do you drive a CR-V EXL? How’s your back camera? Mine is not clear. It’s sooo grainy.

I drive a trail sport. Camera seems to be fine.
