CarQiWireless Wireless Charger for Honda Civic 2016-2021 with USB Port, Wireless Charging Pad for Honda Civic Hatchback Si Coupe Type R Accessories 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016

First my specifics: Google Pixel 9, clear Spidgen case (TPU). I plugged the CarQi charger into a 40 watt lighter adapter, instead of the smaller charger that came with the unit. My charger has two USB-C and one USB-1 sockets.My 2021 Honda Civic LX has VERY little space for stashing a phone to charge it, and without permanently adhering a magnetic or adhesive mount somewhere, there's really no good place to put a phone holder for use in navigation while driving.Enter the CarQiWireless wireless charger. So far, it's pretty much perfect!1) Under a minute to install2) Looks and fits like OEM equipment3) Charges at a steady, but not stunning, speedOthers have mentioned that it's annoying to have to turn it on every time. I haven't had that experience. After turning on the key and starting the car, the green LED on the front comes on by itself and the charger is active. Maybe it's a new version? I don't know. But I never have to turn it on manually.Others have said that their phone slide around when they take sharp corners. YMMV, but I have not had that problem with my phone in the Spidgen TPU case. Perhaps the TPU material, and the rubber pad on the top of the charger, work well together. But regardless, the phone stays securely in one spot.Charging speed: I have only used it over the course of a couple of 15 minute drives, but during those drives, with navigation running and the screen on, charge level on the phone went up about 2% on each drive. So with screen on and nav running, I'd expect charge level to climb about 10% per hour. Good for maintaining charge during a trip, or topping off. But you won't get true quick charging. Nor would I expect to.Some have reported that with the screen on, and nav running, their phone got very hot. Over a 30 minute drive, with screen on and nav running, there was not noticeable warming of my Pixel 9.The best part? The charger holds my phone in a position, and at an angle, that works well for navigation. This solved my problem of finding a phone holder for charging and viewing during trips.HIGHLY recommended, with absolutely zero reservations. If you are considering it, just click BUY!

I had a few different options for a wireless charging pad in my Civic and I’m glad I went with this one. This looks to be their second generation of the charging pad CarQiWireless offers on the Civic. They kept it very simple, clean and effective.I have an iPhone 12 Pro and I read many older reviews where this phone and other newer ones did not work with this. However that is not the case here, as my phone works perfectly about 99% of the time. Very rarely, if I’m driving/cornering a little too hard, the phone can slide a bit and start blinking. This is very rare. If it does happen, I simply turn off the pad, center the phone and turn it back on to continue charging.I took a quick video to show you how truly easy it is to install into place. I recommend plugging in the USB-C end into the charging pad first, route it through to the cigarette lighter and then plug it into the cigarette charging adapter.Phone charges fast as well. Not as fast as my 20w Apple charger, but none the less it is fast enough for me. In my 20-30 minute commute, I can quickly charge from 70-95% easy.I highly recommend this charger and think it’s well worth the money at $40-50. I didn’t want the hassle of the OEM install and price. Do I wish it had a t-harness like their first generation did and OEM does? Yes. But not a deal breaker at all!

Honestly this thing is kind of garbage. I'm not sure if I just got a bad unit or what. Out of 40 minutes of charging time my phone went up 2% but was extremely hot. There is really not much of any traction on it either so my phone will just slip right out of the wireless dock and fling across my car. Going to mess with it for another day but it hasn't work really at all, and will probably go back.

I got this for my civic ex-t and i really enjoy it. it works nicely. i don’t use it as often as i thought i would but the charging ability is on point and its use to install too

This works great for my Galaxy S22 phone with an Otter Box Defender case. Only charging issue I have come across is my phone will not charge when using Pandora with the Pandora app on the infotainment system but I play Pandora on the phone and use Bluetooth the phone charges just fine. this is most likely a software issue more than the charging unit. The fitment is perfect inside the dash cubby hole. Simply plug the power cable to the unit, micro USB side. Then slide the unit into place dropping the power cord down through the pass through hole at the back right corner of the cubby. It's an access to run the wire cleanly down to the power port on the right lower side of the center console. Plug in the power adaptor in to the power port and plug in the USB plug into the power adaptor. Turn on the power switch and simply set your phone down to charge. On the 10th Gen Honda Civics with automatic transmission, the gear shift gets in the way with it in the park position but has good access when its in the drive position. Compared to the Honda unit avail. this is a huge bargain. Honda wants $250.oo for there unit which is probably this same unit anyhow.

Feels well made and fits in the compartment quite nicely. Very convenient not having to plug my phone with a wire, coupled with wireless android auto/carplay, it's a great combo!But functionally, not too great. As everyone says, it makes the phone very hot even with my wireless fast charging turned off. And because of the heat, my device turns off wireless charging to protect my battery and doesn't charge my phone. Doesn't help I drive almost two hours to work, so short trips may be fine and I don't recommend using it on long car rides.
