Will need to be careful if you get the 8 plus to see how well it fits in the charging box. Having trouble consistently charging my note 8 due to its size
That "improved signal" seems to be a gimmick in my case. When I put my phone [Samsung S7] in the Phone Box the signal gets actually weaker and people can barely hear me. I used it maybe few times and every time phone gets pretty hot from wireless charging. I avoid putting the phone there unless I really need to charge it.
Despite having recently retired from a career in IT I have never been a great fan of mobile phones. I'm still using my 5 year old Google Nexus 4 which has always supported QI inductive charging.
In the IT world there is always one company that is the superlative marketeer of its day, and so attracts a loyal, often fanatical following. Rarely however does their marketing excellence go hand in hand with technical excellence. Does anybody still remenber IBM?! Well they were superseded by Microsoft. Just so happens Apple have taken on the mantle; for now. But it won't last - it never does.
I bought an SEL, I don't know why I didn't go for the Edition
Has anyone considered any ideas for adding QI charging for SEL and below models? Also is there anyway to use the phone box boost feature in an SEL or below does anyone know?
True. I am driving through a specific tunnel daily that is known as a location where the phone signal is dropped.
On Friday while driving home I made a test call with my best man while driving through that tunnel and having my iPhone in the phonebox. The whole call went uninterrupted.
Hi. I have the Edition version of the Kodiaq which includes a wireless charging pad. Working well until now! For some reason it turns off the Bluetooth around 60 seconds after placing the phone on the pad. Bluetooth does not turn off if the phone is any where else in the car! Samsung S6. Has anyone experienced this?
Nope, my old S6 edge and the wife's S6 Edge both worked good as well as my S9. Maybe worth checking which version of Android you're using and update if required.

Just acquired a note9
Took out the rubber mat in the phonebox
trimmed the two edging lips to limit the size of the phone with a sharp knife
Replaced the rubber mat
Problem solved
I've just taken delivery of my Kodiaq Edition. I thought it came standard with wireless phone charging but it does not work? I've tried latest Samsung and iPhone and neither charge. I'm guessing I've got it wrong and the phonebox must have been an option? :?

FYI, my new Kodiaq came with the wireless charging pad/box, and it works perfectly with my Samsung S7. Unfortunately, I don't expect it to get much use, as I will usually have Waze on the car's screen (using Android Auto), which means the phone has to be plugged in via USB anyway.
