    I also fitted a magnetic phone holder/charger which works with my phone case, so I just get in the car, clip my phone onto the holder.

    It automatically connects, I've used it for six months now, it seems to work flawlessly for me and the wife.

    I settled on this one:

    Works the same as the others, but it's the only one I could find that allowed two phones to be connected.
    It connects automatically to the last phone connected, but a button press then makes it connect to the second phone which is registered with it.

    I like that one Phil, and it's cheaper than buying 2 separate dongles. I've ordered one anyway... even though the one I have works with my Android phone just fine. Rolling Eyes

    My son will just have to plug his silly iPhone in with a cable or just use the spare dongle if he borrows the Disco. Laughing

    This one claims to work with android auto and carplay.
    But I haven't tried it.

    I've tried a couple of those Qi chargers in the car...none of them will work with my protective rubber phone case...guess I'll have to look for another phone case that'll work with Qi chargers but still protect the phone if I run over it with a tractor. Neutral

    This one... for a Samsung Galaxy S25+.

    It's supposed to work with Qi car chargers but hasn't with any I've tried. They work fine if I take the case off. Rolling Eyes

    I use a casebus case with a stick on massage magnet, seems robust.

    I've dropped it and stood on it a few times.

    I can't find the model I use, but the casebus site has a few.

    Only problem I had was the strength of the magnet, the charger needs to be screwed to the car, the clip on ones ain't man enough.

    I'll post a picture next time I'm on the car.

    I thought one of these cubby tray magsafe Qi2 charging pads would be tidy with no dangly wires cluttering up the place, unfortunately again due to my phone case, I couldn't quite get the cubby box lid to shut...phone+case was a little bit on the thick side. Neutral



    Nice idea...but yet again thwarted by my choice in bombproof phone cases. Laughing
