Last night I received my QI wireless charger and receiver for my Galaxy S4 (T-Mobile). And I decided to use this in my vehicle with the Mountek CD slot mount.
I took the QI charger apart and placed the charging magnet and board inside a sleeve that I made using heavy black paper. This is what I have made. Will post more pictures of the phone and charger in my vehicle.
Was thinking about doing the same thing. I have a similar mount in my car I could use.
Keep us posted here.

I LOVE this idea. I have the samsung case and this would be awesome
Here is a picture of the mount and the phone on the mount in my vehicle
Looks pretty cool. Good work.
I actually was thinking about making my own car charger mount a few months ago and I did try making one but a little different than yours.
What I did was that I tried to combine Qi charger and magnets so the Qi charges the phone while the phone sticks to the Qi panel with a few thin coin magnets behind it. By doing so, I wouldn't need grips or bottom foot to hold the phone. But, I failed to do so because somehow the magnets interfered the Qi coil's wireless charging signal or something. I just thought it would be easy work but it wasn't. I gave up.
induced current works off of electromagnetic fields. Maybe read up

I have a Bracketron o2 vent mount which I do like. On the packaging however, it specifically states not to be used with Qi wireless charging. I emailed them and asked why this is. This was their response:
Thank you for your email.
With the battery pack, you may have to have the plate outside of your case because it would not fit inside your case.
Otherwise, you should be just fine.
Let me know if you have other questions.
So I'm guessing that as long as I have the metal plate at the furthermost point, then it's okay? I want to use the official charging back cover. I don't plan on using Qi in the car with this mount... Probably get an AirDock for that...
has anyone here found a car mount that has either a magnetic or sticky pad qi charger? looking for a sleek install in my car. or do i have no other choice to diy it?
I haven't tried it yet but this one has been the only one I've been able to find so far. I am currently using this Spigen magnetic mount and was able to position the metal plate at the very bottom of the phone horizontally where it will still hold the phone securely but not interfere with my Samsung fast wireless dock at home, but it would be nice to have wireless charging in the vehicle as well.
I've been considering the air dock 2.0 but it doesn't have quick charge. I read somewhere that the magnets can interfere with the spen somehow. I'll probably end up picking up a choetech fast charger and rigging it somehow.
I'm really looking for this as well..
Couldn't find a single magnetic QI car charger which supports QC 2.0 yet.
I have used the magnetic mount mentioned above from Amazon. The really cool thing about it is you do not need any extra metal or magnets for the Note 7 to stick to it (previously I had always mounted magnets under the back cover or inside a skin to hold the phone) However, what I do is have the bottom of the phone rest on top of my car stereo to keep it in place. This adds more support for the phone in addition to the magnetic mount and seems to really help keep the phone attached on bumpy roads and fast turns. Lining up the phone to charge correctly can be a bit of a challenge also. I had been making custom magnetic charging car mounts for myself with my other phones (started with the palm touchstone a few years ago) but his is so far the best stock experience I have had for a magnetic wireless charging car mount.
I have ordered a proclip for my vehicle. Waiting on that and still searching for a Qi charger thatll look and fit nice in my center console. Still debating if I wanna do magnets or sticky tape. I too have the magnetic mount. But it doesn't seem to be strong enough with a case and the metal backing interferes with the Qi charger in my room.
Does the S8+ use magnets for the wireless charging? Looking at car dock solutions, airdock looks good but without a magnet it won't work.
Wireless charging uses inductively electromagnetic coil. It's not a permanent magnet just an electromagnet. But it's probably not going to work for that.
C'mon man I think the techs been out long enough for it to be common knowledge how it works.
I mean are there separate magnets in the back to hold it to a magnetic wireless charger, like the S7 and ma y other phones have.
the scosche magnet car mount works on the s8 w/o a case. with a case it wont go through tho you'd need to metal adapter plate
If you go caseless or have a glossy case the airdock will work fine. It uses micro-suction. But if you don't have something glossy and smooth it won't work well.
Heya,
So I have ordered a Promate MagMount to have the phone attached securely on the front, I went with a magnetic holder as they seem to be much better than traditional phone holders for cars (as the clips on the sides sometimes scratch and such the sides).
My question is, does anybody have experience with using a metallic disc on their phone/case and used it with a wireless charger?
I was first thinking of attaching the metallic disc on the back of the phone itself, then thought about keeping the metallic disc between the phone and the case (without attachment) and then finally thought of just sticking it on the clear cover case itself.
As I charge the phone wirelessly with the case attached, will the metal interfere severely with the wireless charging and cause some sort of hazard or damage to the phone? Or can it work without any issues?
I use the Spigen magnetic vent mount and have the piece of metal in between my phone and the Spigen Ultra Soft case. I cannot use the wireless charger as the piece of metal interferes with the charging. If you put the piece of metal on the case and take your case off when you charge it will work fine.
By the way, what is the big advantage to wireless charging? I've used it for a few days and it doesn't seem to have any advantages. I can't even use the phone while it's charging. If you plug it in you can at least use the phone while it's charging.

Nothing super special except that it just looks cool and you can immediately pick up the phone and go, without the need to disconnect any cables.
Well, taking off the case again and again would be hectic for wireless charging...Damn would have to look for something or place the metallic sheet above the battery area and such...

Also don't forget about electromagnetic field which is used by wireless charger
Even if it will charge with this metal plate, it will heat up metal and battery.
Be careful when you use wireless charger
I enjoy my magnetic holder. It's in a perfect location and the phone attaches nicely to it. I can see it perfectly for navigation. I'll gladly give up wireless charging for it.

Wireless charging is no advantage for me either. It takes no time to plug/unplug. Mag mount is so worth it.

I have an Airdock 2.0 and while it does work, it just not work to charge at high speed. Holds the phone pretty well in my case.
You can have wireless charging and use a magnetic mount. You'll need to place the metal plate near the bottom of the device. I have mine there and have no issues with wirelessly charging.

I will try that.. thank you! I have a small round plate and a larger rectangle one.. use the small round one right?
Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
Both work fine, the rectangle one needs to be long side down for the wireless charging to work.

I've tried that in the past. Unfortunately, this thing called gravity flips the phone upside down.

Hey guys, I had the same issues too, so I had to take off the case every time I wanted to get my phone wireless-charged until I happened to see a blog: No One Will Tell You These Tips on Selecting Magnetic Phone Mount (But You Can Learn Here), where shows how someone solved the metal plate problems by embedding it in a case, so the metal plate won't interfere with wireless charging anymore whilst you keep the metal plate working as always. which truly impressed me a lot, to be honest, this is the solution what I've been looking for. Hope this blog is useful for you too.
MagCase
Few months I got a Magcase from my brother for my birthday, which works well on my phone to date. as my brother told me that this case has the metallic plates embedded in so that the case can work both with the magnetic car mount and with a wireless charger without affecting the ability to charge.(not sure about it but at least this case saved me up from looking for a stuff combining wireless charging and magnetic car mount), loviiiing it
Went through this myself with a Galaxy S8 I had just for one month. Personally, I decided to opt for another mount, since I use wireless charging a lot, if the phone I have supports this. My solution was to pick a regular air vent mount and kept the phone with a Spigen case on it. No scratches at all and it keeps the phone very steady, while I can still enjoy wireless charging.
Metal heats up the phone during wireless charging...so I take the case off while wireless charging...however my s8+ motherboard conned off not sure because of magnetic car holder...any inputs if magnetic car holder can damage s8+ which also has wireless charging ability...

Hi All,
I ordered my Note 9 512gb a little while back and have a few more weeks to wait. While I'm waiting I'm getting all the stuff I think I want to have with it. One of those things is a wireless charging car dock. There are too many out there to really know which is best so I thought I would ask the people that already have the note9 and possibly are already using a wireless car dock. Thanks!
I'm interested too. I'm searching for one usable with the clear view cover. Magnetic one would be great but I'm scared by the metallic ring and Qi interferences. I'm thinking of building my own based on the magnet already in the cover...
Nobody has a pony in this race?
I went with Choetech one for my other car because it has a USB C inout for power. Works good, about the same as the iottie one touch except not as convenient.

Thanks Gottria, I'll look into it :good:
I like the Choetech charger but 2 things bug me. The arms are slightly curved inwards toward the end and when the phone sits in the cradle all the way back the tips of the arms slightly block the screen. And forget about accessing the side edge function. 2nd is the mount, it doesn't use the 17mm ball and it's reversed compared to other mounts. The socket needs to be on the back of the device instead of the ball.

Thanks gottria. I use a panavise mount in my C63 and have a 17mm ball to hook the dock onto. This would've completely screwed up my setup :highfive:
I've just bought the choetech fast wireless charger mount. I have a Vauxhall vivaro and theres no good way to mount it so its on the windscreen towards the top with a USB trailing down to the quick charge 12v plug I use. I can see it being a pain but doesn't really block my view. I prefer air vent mounts had a baseus wireless charger but didn't even charge the phone. Compared to the choetech its much more cheapy and flimsy the choetech feels solid. Which is good but if anyone can advice a way I Can get a air vent mount to hold it to that then would prefer it.
My main worry about the choetech is with cold freezing weather coming in and frozen windscreens how well will it actually hold up as dont want my £1000 phone dropping and smashing. :fingers-crossed:

If you find a solution, let me know. I too am struggling to find one that works with the clear view cover
I have to say that when it comes to car mounts period, the folks at EXOGEAR are the best from my experience over the years. I've used their tablet and smartphone mounts. These mofos stick to practically any surface. Couple that with the way the phone snaps in and out of the mounts? It's so quick and easy.
But now I'm learning these guys make wireless chargers for their mounts. It says it goes "up to" 9v so I'm curious how fast it actually charges the N9.
Since it's EXOGEAR and I swear by their suction cup performance I'm going to buy it soon as it comes available and I'll check back later and let y'all know how it worked out. I honestly never felt the need to have a wireless charger in my car because I typically have plenty of battery life by the time I get home but this wireless charger peaked my interest.
https://exogear.com/product/exomount-qi/
I purchased the iOttie and loved it enough to purchase a second one for my wifes car. I havent found a single suction cup that would work with my leather in the car so I purchased a panavise mount and 17mm ball adapter to mount it. But while waiting for those to arrive I tested the suction cup and it holds... amazingly. The mount hasn't shifted in the slightest and I have launched the car from a dead stop a few times trying to get it to shake lose. I can feel my body violently being forced back into the seat but the mount doesn't look fazed. First time I can actual praise a suction cup mounting system.
Also I thought I should add that "Fast Charging" is displayed when the phone is docked.
I'm using the Baseus Qi Wireless Magnetic Fast Charger and it's pretty good. The only downside is if you have stiff car suspension (like in sports car) and get into a big bump, the phone can lose grip and fall.

Since my car already has a navigation screen I don't need the phone up in the vent area. Besides I didn't like any of the in vent holders. The magnetic phone holders out there I don't like since if i hit a bump or pothole the phone will fall due to its weight. There is a coin slot holder in my care but the wireless ones usually have a base that won't fit in that holder. But I then found a wood wireless charger a while back that had a metal base which is removable. I placed it in the coin holder and it charges my then Note 8, now Note 9 even with a case. Granted it is not a fast charge type of wireless charger but it does charge my phones quickly enough on the half hour of driving from work to home. So it does the job enough for me, looks great and I don't have to worry about the phone falling off a magnet or blocking the vent.
