The part he removes looks like a control function. Some sort of induction sensor. I wonder if it will over charge the phones without that part.

Does it charge with the ignition off? I would check for heat from the pad and overcharging.

Just watched again and the magnet wasn’t removed. Only the green “repeater” as he called it. Did I miss something?

In the video the magnet is attached to the green "repeater" My magnet is glued to that thing. Trust me the magnet prevents it from working. I placed that magnet in the center of a different wireless charger i had and it prevents it from initializing a charge. Remove that and i almost guarantee it will work.

Okay. Well I’ll go test that theory too. So I’m going to go out this morning and remove the green repeater piece and that magnet. I will only have the copper coil charger I hope.... I’ll take pictures again.
