Phone too big for wireless charging tray

Hey guys,

Have you guys figured out a way to use the wireless charging pad with a Note 20 Ultra? It won't fit inside the charging tray. I've seen on the 2 series forums they use to have a 3D printed bracket for bigger phones. Is there something like that for the 5?

Maybe I am wrong here but I think it either fits or it doesn't. I'm not sure how printing or adhering anything would change that. Unless they are ripping out part of the center console and replacing a bunch of stuff, but I can't imagine that would be the case. The phones need to lay flat to be close enough to charge. So outside of the separate charger not sure how you would make this work with what is there now.

I think they were removing the bracket on the side. Not sure if we can do the same on our cars.

Nope. It's a problem for me as well with the S20 Ultra. My workaround is to use a 3rd party wireless charger. Not as pretty but it's functional.
