    I know there are some threads but I have a question. Are they large enough to accommodate the XL phones with cases? Specifically Samsung S20 Ultra with otter box defender. The phone is longer than the stock indent in the armrest, it doesn’t lay flat. Thanks dude’s and dude-ets.

    I had the s21 ultra with a similar case. I had to switch out the case to a slimmer one. FYI the wireless charger is suppose support fast wireless charging but mine stopped working after a few months. My phone would give me a error saying that the wireless charger does not support fast wireless charging. I tried it with multi phones and got the same error message on all the phone

    The OEM wireless charger for the Tundra is 10 watts. The GS21 can take up to 15 watts wireless charging. I use Android Auto wireless for nav, and I stream music. 10 watts of wireless charging is barely enough to sustain the charge of my phone. During a 30 minute commute I barely notice any increase in charge on my phone. 15 watts would be a little better, and they make some Chinese knock-offs on Amazon that say the support 15 watts (not sure I'd believe them). Ultimately I ended up going with a 45 watt PD wired charger so I can get the super fast charge 2.0 speeds. A short 20 minute drive leaves my phone with a lot of gas in the tank, even while using AA wireless.

    Kind of off topic, but food for thought for those considering wireless.

    Same. If I'm running music and nav on my phone, the charger will just keep the battery level from going down, but it won't raise it by much if at all.

    Is there any way to upgrade the guts but keep the nice factory looking shell?
