The Google Pixel phones are infamous for being picky about what wireless charger is used, and my custom one in the car doesn't play ball if the phone moves even slightly, so I figured I'd explore replacing the charging coil only with something more powerful.
Found this on
Amazon with no actual reviews other than one guy who doesn't know what he's talking about:
Neat thing about it is that the charging controller is in the in-line wedge bit you can see next to it away from the coils, so less heat is generated at the coils so the phone heats up less which is exactly what I found compared to the other desktop charger pad I have where everything is sandwiched together in one area.
My 9 Pro XL has space in that bed to move around, so perfect for testing my theory and seeing if the claimed power of these coils lives up to the task. Happy to report it does, fast wireless charging no matter how many times I poke or move the phone when it's on there:
I can now DIY it into my existing centre console mod:
