Anyone get their CX-50 wireless phone charger to work?

[biglou]

I have a Turbo PP and cannot get the wireless charger to work with several different Iphones and cases. Was wondering if anybody has had some success with this.
Thanks

Did you turn off NFC on your phone?

Are the doors closed and the vehicle in drive?

doors are closed and I'm driving. what is NFC?

NFC = Near Field Communication. If this feature is enabled on your phone, it may be interfering with the wireless connection for the charger. You may have to look up "how to turn off NFC" for your device. It's usually in your pull-down menu on your phone, or buried in the Settings somewhere.

Hmmmm, I have read quite a few horror stories about the wireless charger not working. I wonder how many may have been due to an NFC issue? Our CX-50 does not have it and wouldn't work for me anyway as my phone is too large to sit in the cubby.

When we first got the car, my wife's phone would charge but mine just wouldn't. Then I read somewhere about the NFC-charge bug and found my phone's was turned on. I turned it off and, voila, charging worked.

I cant find an nfc feature anywhere on my iphone 13. I did setting-General and there is nothing there to shutoff.

After a quick Google search:

how to turn off nfc on iPhone?

To turn off NFC on your iPhone, you will need to go into the Settings app. Once in the Settings app, select "Cellular" and then "Cellular Data Options." From there, you should be able to toggle the switch for NFC to turn it off. Additionally, you may also want to check for any other settings …...

Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Options

Every iPhone since 2014 has NFC.

Unfortunately that link is incorrect. I don’t have any of the NFC off options that it suggests on my iphone 13.

As far as i can tell that option is not available on iphones.

Try settings>general>wallet & apple pay

 

[biglou]

Tried everything that has been suggested. No Go

Yes, I couldn't find that option either on my 13 Pro. And the CX-50 wireless charges is worthless

Please update here, if any one finds a solution for this issue with iPhone 13 pro

I was debating stopping at the dealership and asking the service dept if they had any ideas. I initially was going to get a lower trim and get the charger as an option. Boy I would have been pissed

It started working for me, I didn't change any setup. Just adjusted phone placement.
iPhone 13 Pro, The charger is NOT working if it touches the edge. I had to place a bit away from edge for it to work. Try to adjust and find out the better placement for your phone.

 

[biglou]

I'm going to try it again. will keep the edges in mind
