I couldn't get my phone to charge even by holding it up to this charger without the metal ring (& taken out of its case). I have 2 nokia plug in Qi chargers that work great with this phone. I guess not compatible...
I just completed my own Sunday clean wireless charging project after receiving my iPhone X earlier this week. I basically redesigned my previous solution to support Qi wireless charging.
Pros:
-magnetic - just throw it on without any alignment and it starts charging. Also easy to grab and go
-phone is closer to eye level (less looking up and down and refocusing)
-still able to use the cup holders without blocking the phone
-compatible with tons of cheap Qi receivers
Cons: Cable still visible and Qi receiver is bulky (they do make smaller ones though)

hello, any update how your solution is working out ??
also is there links or more information to the parts used for mounting and charging please.
thanks so much!!
currently using these in both vehicles, but i think they left a oily residue and i would hate to mark up my new dash it uses a 17mm ball.
So far I like the qi charger more than my old magnetic mount. When using GPS, the phone will barely increase charge but the convenience factor is worth it. I can just slap my phone on and pull it off when I am out and about. If I want to charge my phone faster, I still have the option of plugging in a cable.
Both mounts come with 3M VHB tape which is designed for car surfaces and can be cleanly removed.
I can confirm that it fast charges and also fits the Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus with a plastic case. I'd guess it'll do the same for the iPhone. If you need photos, I'll be glad to post some. I've got it mounted left of the clock attached to the A/C vent. You'll need a micro usb cable and
we just ordered a 2018 RX and I noticed that here in the states, we don’t have the option of the wireless phone charger. I know there’s the perfect cubby in front of the shifter to place a flat charger with a plug in next to it to keep wires at a minimum. What are you guys using to charger your phones?
I recently bought an RX350 F Sport, and was very somewhat disappointed that it didn't have wireless charging. Well, i added wireless charging for $50!!!! For those interested, here's a tutorial. Tell me what you guys think....

Nice write up, question, this doesn't list charging spec, so i would guess its slow charging and not fast like many phones are able to charge at.
second, was it relatively easy to disassemble the vehicle, any issues or problems you ran into during the process ??
(need to pull the deck for a add on install, beatsonic with screen mirroring )

thanks again, looks great!!
I dont know the specs but it seems to charge normal. Everything was pretty straight forward and you do not need to pull the deck out.

i asked about the r&r becauseI am pulling my deck, didn't say you did
guessing this is a slow charger, not sure what phone you have and if it fast charges
