Hi there, just purchased my NX. Does anyone know where to get the charger case for an iPhone 6 for the Qi charger that is in the car?
Thanks

But wont' you have to plug the charger into the back of the phone everytime in order to get the sleeve to work?
I"m just thinking ease of plugging it into the USB at the same time.
Almost becomes a wash at that point.
Personally, I didn't pick the Qi.

Yeah I agree - I don't have one of the Qi charging things for my phone, don't plan on it. I have an iPhone 6 Plus and it doesn't fit in the Qi indention very well, have to put it in there and then push the phone towards the rear up and over the indention lip, so that I can close the arm rest/lid. My battery lasts 3-4 days and i just charge it at home when need be, otherwise I have a 2.1 cigarette lighter plug to plug the USB cord into. I actually asked the dealer to remove the damn charging thing because it is 100% in the way of getting in the storage area (and I wouldn't use it)... and they said they could not.

Especially for an iPhone it seems like more hassle than it's worth, unless you like having the sleeve on there. On something like the Galaxy S5 you can just buy a replacement battery cover with Qi integrated so there's no additional size added to the phone.
Even then I don't have the need to charge in the car and wouldn't get the option, but it does sound good in commercials. They are touting the option in the Camry now.

This is more expensive but it's "Backbone is the first shockproof mobile wireless charging case – military tested". And it has a mini usb charging port on the bottom. So you would just get a cheap mini usb cable for your house.

Not sure when the 6 will be available.

If I special order I am leaving off the wireless charger as well. Don't want to get a special sleeve for the iPhone plus I plug it in via USB everytime anyhow because I want full voice commands and playlists etc on the screen that aren't always available via Bluetooth.

very disappointed with Lexus over there useless Qi charger and there reply when I asked how to remove. They replied: We apologize as we do not recommend or assist with modifying our vehicle from the original factory specifications.

What BS. It's coming out. I contacted Qi about a larger tray so my phone would fit, but I didn't get an answer.

This seems to be the key to remove the Qi console tray. On the bottom of the tray, It seems to be a pin that secures the tray on the drivers side, but I'm unable so far to pull on it. It will only move about a 1/2 inch, but thats all thats needed to remove the tray.

I enjoy wireless charging in my NX every time I get in the vehicle. I also have the Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone, too.
I liked the wireless charging so much, I bought wireless chargers for my office and my home. I love just being able to plop it down on the pad and be done with it. They are only around $12.
The product I bought for my Samsung smartphone to convert it to wireless charging was this one—it was only about $13.

We have a Samsung S4 and S5 and got something similar to the product linked int he post above me. IT works great and both our phones fit just fine, even with cases, in to the Qi charger.
Dump the junky Apply products and get something better (joking)!
