Wireless phone charging not working

Yeah works for me, both when the phone is on wireless charge or charging via a cable, no other settings other than that.
Just checked and it works when charging via cable inside armrest, but not from the wireless charger 🤷‍♂️. That's where I tend to forget it's there and walk off without it
 
Just a thought, does the NFC setting have to be enabled as well to activate the warning on the wireless charging pad? Could you check on your settings please Forrester.
Just tried my wife's iphone and that only works when wired charging as well. Should it definitely also give the warning when on the wireless charging pad?
 
This is what her car shows. There isn’t any option to refine it.

Yes I have identical settings. And your wife's car definitely reads out the Don't forget warning when phone is left on wireless charger? Just want to be certain when I call in to my local dealership at some point.
Thanks for all your efforts, much appreciated.
 
Yes it does. Just going back to the phone case point near the start of this thread. While I have a case its quite thin. Do you have a wallet type case which might affect the phone being detected properly.
No It's a thin gel case, and it charges okay. I have even tried it out of the case, as I did with my wife's phone. It just seems so very odd doesn't it.
I will toggle the setting off, leave it overnight and re-enable tomorrow and test. Can't think what else I could do. :unsure:

So I unpaired the iphone, Fully rebooted the iphone then set up again in the car. At first no change, then it worked 2 or 3 times, so I was delighted. Then stopped again. Very bizzarre! Only consistant when charging by cable, so I'm out of ideas now :unsure:
 
Other than making sure you have the latest IOS, there was an update last night to fix bugs from the bigger update a few days ago. I would then book it in.
Yes always update to latest IOS so I know that's good. And tried3 different iPhone now so seems likely to be a car issue. I noticed that when using a cable, the charging continues for a short time after turning off the ignition, but on the wireless charging pad, it turns off as soon as ignition is turned off. Thanks for all your help.

Quick update.
After a software module update at the dealership, it is now working correctly
