Do you have it?
Do you wish you had it?

I just checked here and it says the lx, rx, nx, and es have it. Site looks a bit out of date so would expect the ux and the new ls has it? But none of the other sedans and coupes?

I have this feature and LOVE it. My gf’s considering a new vehicle and after often ‘hogging’ the wireless charge slot in the center console with her iphone X she’s vowed she won’t consider any new car that doesn’t have it!

Tried it in the new Avalon. It’s not very good. Rather just have a high powered plug. It is more the placement than anything else. I do not like how the phone gets warm as well

Thr battery on my iPhone tends to last me all day and could easily last me the next day.

I added a wireless phone charger to my LS460 in the console. I only stopped using it since I've been listening to high resolution audio from Tidal and leave my phone plugged in now.

I have wireless chargers all over my house and office though. My phone sits on one at my desk at work all day, at home if I sit it down on an end table or something there's a charger there. So...my phone is always 90-100% charged unless I'm out in the wild for long stretches,

I saw your LS thread. It was a nice set up.

This is why it was dropped from the NX. Rather than give a charge it was only rather holding a charge.

Thanks for the post. Didn't know there was one nor it was dropped.

When the NX200t debuted as a 2015 model it was in the center console. Today it's just a tray, but this is what it looked like a Qi Wireless charger

If I had a phone that had wireless charging, I'd definitely want it in the car.

I have a wireless charging craddle in the M2, and it works very well, and keeps charging the phone even when it's streaming internet audio through bluetooth. It fits my iphone 8, however my old 7 plus didn't fit into it.

That being said, there was an old and well forgotten technology on the Blackberry back in the days. There were two metal tabs on the back, and they were actually contacts for charger. That was an absolutely awesome and simple tech - you did not need to plug the phone in, just drop into dock or cradle, and it charged at the same speed as a wired connection.

My folks have it in their Tacoma and their RAV4 and love it. I don’t have it in my cars, but use it daily at home.

Not forgotten, just doesn’t work terribly well if you want the phone to be water resistant.

I don't see how these metal tabs interfere with water resistance. Blackberries had mechanical buttons and removable batteries, so of course they weren't water resistant, it had nothing to do with the contact tabs.

I had that in my NX. A $250 optional upcharge. It was slow and useless for me. Especially when I got my One plus with fast charging. It will do 50% in a half hour. Unless they have improved the wireless charging speed I think it is a dinosaur.

Was it just the nx charging pad that was slow? I honestly haven’t paid attention to charging speed in mine (g90) but it seems fine.

Every country except USA offered it for my car the first year (which I have) and now they have included it for the second model year in the USA. I have thought about upgrading to it at $200 fee, but not seeing the worth anymore. The battery on my new phone is gigantic (S10 5G) and will take forever to wirelessly charge, also the battery on my phone is gigantic and I can easily go two days without charging , plus at times I like using Android Auto, so unless the latest release that's coming this summer includes wireless hookup (haven't read all specs on it yet), then I won't consider it. I can live without it.
