Default Wireless charger question

I understand that the iPhone 6 plus won't fit onto trhe inbuilt wireless charger.

Anyone have an alternative solution?

Yes. First, don't waste money on a Qi case for the phone unless you use it elsewhere, like in the house (as I do with my iP6 [not a 6+]). In that case, try to find a Qi case that has a pass-through for the regular charging cable which you can then use in the car - there aren't many of these out there. Otherwise you have to pull the case to use the cable.

I use a Qi-enabled windshield mount for my phone, but I often use Waze for navigation, so this works out well for me.

Thanks for the feedback.

I think I'll continue to do what I do now with my CT200h, that is use a short lightening cable and connect to the USB port when I have the need for in-car charging.

I recently bought a 2015 NX. With an iPhone 5s, when Bluetooth is on Waze won't talk unless I'm on a phone call. Not just the car speakers, even the phone won't produce the Wave notifications or directions. Any ideas? Thanks

In Waze Settings >> Sound I use "Play sound to phone speaker", not "Prefer Bluetooth", which works for me. I did use Prefer Bluetooth for awhile, but the way Waze interrupted my music was irritating as hell.

Also check the App Volume there. It seems like when I was just getting set up I had to decouple my phone's Bluetooth and recouple it once in order to get it to work.
