2025 - Qi Charger - may have changed ?

I take possesion of my 2025 Hybrid Limited L in about 3 weeks , and the 2024 i test drove , i thought, had a hard plastic pad to the Qi charger... this one is a little raised and rubbery ? anyone heat if they made some improvements vs 2022-2024 ? maybe listened to feedback ?

(or is my memory bad and this is the exact same garbage lol)

 

No idea whether it performs any better but it most certainly looks different.

 

Yep definately looks different. Maybe they only addressed the way your phone slides around.

 

The only thing different I see is the three bumps on the bottom, mine is just a straight line that doesn't hold the phone well, have to mess with it to get it in the right position.

 

They’re there in my 23. But the pad itself is def different

 

that’s different for sure

here is my 23

 

It 100% changed. New part number for the charger and surround.

 

thanks not Ryan

 

Wonder if the charger itself is better

 

Yes.

 

861C0-AN010 - Cradle Assembly, Mobile Wireless Charger (2025MY) - MSRP $999.57
58802-AN010-C0 - Box Sub-Assy, Console, Front (2025MY) - MSRP $44.76

 

I take possession in early Dec - i'll let you all know if it works better.

 

Yes, they announced the upgrade for 2025. It should be an improvement.

 

where was the announcement?

You can dig further for more details

 

Toyota said no such thing.

 

Price is outrageous lol.

 

I lost interest in having my phone down there when I got my ICS phone holder and a usb fast charger...anyone want a cheap EEF upgrade kit?

 

I haven’t really used it … I may be in the same boat too… the wife can maybe use that one

 

Updated for sure. The 2022 never charged correctly. The 2025 version will consistently charge an iPhone using a MagSafe case.

 

2024 model charged my iPhone 16 Plus with 3 different MagSafe cases with no issues.
