  • Cases, metal objects and phone alignment can interfere with Qi charging.
  • Secure every device so it cannot become a distraction or projectile.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓Try the audio-interface port if the phone charges but does not appear in infotainment.
  • ✓Recenter the phone and remove its case or foreign objects if wireless charging does not start.
