iPhone 8 wireless charging
Has anyone figured out how to get their iPhone 8/8S to charge wirelessly? ATS specifically.

Does it not work with the wireless charging pad located behind the climate controls? Or does your ATS not have it? I don't believe the 2013-2014 ATS had that option.

My 2015 ATS does have the wireless charger behind the climate controls. Placed the iPhone 8 face up in both directions and no indication of any charging occurring.

I have an ATS and it doesn't fit my S8 with a case, so I just gave up and used a USB cable, especially if I want to use Google auto

The USB cable works fine. Was just hoping the wireless charging would work when I don't need CarPlay.

Personally I don't see the benefit of wireless charging for a phone. My passengers are usually Facebook or otherwise using their phones so the wireless charging won't work for them.
Me, I am using GPS so again not much use.
I thought it would come in handy for short trips around town, where I don't really need to connect via USB for CarPlay. Hoping to see the wireless charging + wireless CarPlay combo in the 2018 models.
Doesn’t car play work with Bluetooth?
I have to connect my iPhone via USB to get CarPlay to work in my ATS. There is a wireless version which uses Wi-Fi (& BlueTooth?) in a limited number of cars. I do have phone & music functionality via BlueTooth without plugging in a cable.
Didn’t know that. I thought carplay always worked with bluetooth.
