What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Four months ago I had the fuel pump recall performed at my local dealer. While I was there I asked them to fix the bubble in my Qi charger. They told me they ordered parts to fix it and would call me when they came in. I called and left multiple messages before they got back to me and told me that the parts are on national back order and they have no time frame for their arrival. Anyone else having this problem?

 

interesting idea! can you attach a pic from a little further away from the truck?

 

oh well

 

most things electrical are on back order due to lack or microchips. I wonder if that has something to do with it

 

No but mine won't charge through my Otter Box. If I take it out it charges fine

 

turn it glass side down

 

I'll try it, thanks!

 

Installed tow mirrors from 1A Auto

 

Before COVID I had the bubble issue and it took them a month to get the part so I could only imagine...

 

Distance matters!

It's a matter of transmitter to receiver efficiency, we could blast 500W from the transmitter but to get 50W to charge your phone, but do we want a microwave ourselves rolling down the road?

I suspect the Toyota is a 15W transmitter. Faster to use a wired port to recharge my phone, but handy to have feature. Road trips I'm using Android Car, nav, and podcast, so my phone is hardwired.

 

yea i never use my wireless charger.

 

I can't say officially because I haven't tried in the Tacoma but the Qi chargers I have don't work face down. The charge coils are on the back side and don't work if there's something metal between the charger and the coils.

 

Come to think of it I think I did try it glass side down and it didn't work. I'm gonna find out soon for sure though.

 

Interesting pov. But seems like you have more bottle openers on your rig than I. Props to you my dude.

 

mine works that way so idk

 

Serious question, if you can’t see the screen how can you be sure that it is charging? Are you going off an initial vibration when it starts to charge?

 

Mine beeps.

 

It didn’t work face down, mine has a light to the left side on the charger that is orange when charging or green when charged.

 

I really like these, but the idea of having this so close to your leg in Phoenix summer weather just doesn't sit well. 100-120 degree summers and car interiors easily reach 200 plus degrees here. Anyone else install these in a similar climate? I'm envisioning bbq grille marks and 3rd degree burns on my leg.

 

I forgot about that light. I was so disappointed with its output that I went with a high power USB-C outlet that I installed.
