My charging mat (2021 model) has a different design, do you still imagine this working ok? Also did your MME have the wireless charging performance update?
I am not quite sure what difference your MME has. I believe it should work. If possible share images.


Also, I believe I have the update you are referring to

Great news! Thnx. Wondered if the wireless charger would ever work. Going to give it a try. Good ol’ Amazon, where would be without it
Sure, the set if 3 would help you try the position.

They aren’t to sticky so won’t damage your mat

Haha, she might be easy going as there is not tearing down involved and would be a quality of life improvement.

Wifey? Easy going? That’s a good one! She does toast by breathing on it and when she finds out I spent £12 on that charger I’ll be toast, too?

Ford Mustang Mach-E Fix Wireless Charging for $10 IMG_2528


Image pinched off a Google search to save me having to go outside as the weather is bleak here.
It looks like the pad design was ‘fixed’ (read altered) at some point, and that the ford ‘engineers’ couldn’t find a suitable solution to the alignment or camera bump. Well done for showing them up.

Can I ask if your arrangement of magnets is just on the upside of the OEM charging mat, and also if this raises the phone high enough to compensate for the camera bump? My concern was the distance from the charging coil as the charging mat, magnets, camera bump, and case all add up. What did you use for the cover to make it look tidy?

Thanks

I don’t think that crease would be an issue, also there is service by ford replacing old wireless charging module.

And I used just magnets in the links above. They don’t raise too much, but the magnets are good enough for holding the phone in place.

I got this https://a.co/d/c5iGjGp and removed the magnets and glue and added the double sided magnets.

Hey everyone,

I’m aware that there are solutions to fix the wireless charging issue on our Mach-Es ranging from 3D print holders with a magsafe charger to fully built TWARPS

While the solutions, like TWARPS, were quite expensive, costing around $100 or too specifically custom that could be not as easy.

However, I’ve come up with a more affordable and pretty easy solution for $10 (2 magnet sets for $10). Simply attach the magsafe magnets to the rubber mat, and voila! The wireless charging issue is resolved.

Amazon Links:
2- Piece Set: https://a.co/d/ihT6FA0
3-Piece Set: https://a.co/d/52yX9fF

Here’s how it turned out for me! I had some plastic holders from a different MagSafe magnets set that I used to make it look aesthetically pleasing, but it’s completely unnecessary, if you don’t wanna do it.

Wouldn't it just be easier to just plug it into the USB port and ignore the mat?

And yet tons of people bought TWARPS solution at 100$ and many more made 3d printing to hold magsafe chargers!

So the magnets in the 2/3 piece sets you originally linked to, have strong enough tape to stick them to the existing mat? And how did you find the right alignment without them sticking to the mat in the wrong place. I wiggle my phone around all over place place and it seems very particular about where it sits to get the charge started

i had the magnets on the phone without removing the cover for the sticking tape. Once I found the right spot on the mat where it was charging with out fail, i carefully lifted phone and sticked the magnets.
