And if you really need to charge the USB-C port in the center will charge an iPhone way faster than any wireless charger ever could, even if it worked properly. Apple limits third party wireless chargers to 7.5 watts, the center port can put out 15.
Yeah. That's what I liked about my RS5. It had USB-C with PD AND it had wired CarPlay. Which means that CarPlay would operate flawlessly AND my battery would actually be fully charged by the time I got out of the car, even after using CarPlay navigation.
