Any new observations or results to report @bobloblawGTI @Kushdaiin?
Might have to try out these MagSafe rings, then! No more non-chargeable object errors showing up?@bobloblawGTI well, still too early to give a full run down but my current testing is showing better results than past testing. The charger is still a bit more finicky than the standard charger but I've had better luck thus far.
Are you able to adhere the ring to the rubber insert that goes above the wireless charger in the cubby? That's what I had originally thought of trying but ran out of time and ultimately returned the new charger.@bobloblawGTI, no necessarily. I added an edit to the bottom of my post about those causing an error as the pad detects a non-chargeable object on it. If we want to go into wooga-wooga stuff, maybe; and I mean probably not, but perhaps the initial install of the magnet is having on the affect of the pad that seems to cause it to work. Like putting any magnet to any electronic is generally not a good idea but maybe in this case it reset the the charger? Again, this is extremely unlikely and perhaps I'm just on a good streak with the charger. Otherwise, installing the magsafe rings only appears to impair the ability of the charger to work.
It wouldn't matter since the charger will still identify a foreign object on the charger, given the proximity. It doesn't take much with this charger to throw an error, so anything existing between the phone and charger will very likely cause it to error out.Are you able to adhere the ring to the rubber insert that goes above the wireless charger in the cubby?

That certainly makes sense based on your prior observations, but it might be worthwhile to try since you have a few rings just to confirm.It wouldn't matter since the charger will still identify a foreign object on the charger, given the proximity.

The most important thing that I've observed so far is to not have anything on the charger prior to starting the car. This seems to immediately disrupt the charging process and cause the charger to be finnicky until the MIB is cycled again.
