Wireless charging is virtually worthless
One of the selling points on my new 2021 TLX was the wireless charging. I've tried to use this since I bought the car 2 weeks ago....it is virtually worthless. It charges for literally 2 - 3 seconds and then starts flashing green or green & yellow. What a waste. Just like the puddle light issue, I hope Acura is looking at this and will fix it under warranty.

This.
Especially without Wireless Apple Car Play. Add in Apple Music offering Lossless Audio via USB connections paired with the ELS Sound System and I could never justify the wireless charging with Bluetooth Audio.

Never was all that great in the 1st gen TLX either. Tray was very small and charging was slow. I used it maybe twice. Cord was better and needed anyway for AA/Carplay.

And as I said above -- why wouldn't I want lossless audio?

Iphone 11 - no issues charging. Also charges Galaxy s9 with otter box case just fine.

I have to disagree
Don't depend or expect it to fully charge your phone. If your phone is almost dead and you got a little ways to go, it'll do the job enough. Also, when you add wireless charging + wireless android = definitely not worthless. I'm tired of cables

I am using an iPhone 12 with clear case. I also took it out of the case....same problem.

I use CarPlay about 90% of the time in the car so it's getting charged and I hardly ever use the wireless charging feature.

I believe the issue is since the IPhone 12 models have the MagSafe charging which is a metal ring in the back of the phone, the wireless charging pad senses that “metal” and shuts off the charging. There’s a sticker on the charging pad that talks about metal between the phone and charging pad etc. My guess is the fix is to someone tell the charging pad to “ignore” the metal ring in the IPhone 12’s if that’s possible.
