[darthg0d]

Chalk me in for a unit when you have a new batch going. iPhone 15 Pro.

 

[Brokenblinker]

I'd also like to get on the list. Pixel 8 pro.

 

[Lynxz_]

If you're still making these I'd love one too, pixel 8 pro

 

[MAX FPS]

I would as well. IPhone 14 Pro.

 

[Safster]

I’d like one also. iPhone 15 pro.

 

[Andrea]

I’d like one also. iPhone 15 pro.

Same here! But since I’m in Italy how the delivery, custom etc would work?

 

[ross7alex]

Add me to the list, Pixel 9 Pro XL!

I will follow up with CoolGear on the status of their new power supply. Last I heard the new version is out but it still has issues negotiating the correct PD profile for the new 25W MagSafe charger. I’ll update once I hear back.

Hey @silent cilantro another italian Andrea here (iphone 16 pro) needing the same info.
Also, I’m wondering about the temperatures while using CarPlay wirelessly and charging at the same time. Thanks!

 

[Evilllem]

@silent cilantro if you are still selling these please put me on the list as well, iphone 16 pro, shipping to bay area california. thank you!!!

I have returned with good and bad news.

Good news: CoolGear decided to ghost me after months of telling me they are working on fixing compatibility issues, so I tested a few other power supplies and have found an alternative that plays nicely with the newest Apple MagSafe charger (they just released a new one along the iPhone 17 that supports 25W/Qi2.2)

Bad news: The new power supply is more expensive, cost for other materials have also gone up so I need to raise prices a bit. Kit will now be back to the original price of $300 from the previous $285. US shipping still included in price.

Lastly, life has been a bit hectic lately so I am not currently taking requests for new devices. For the time being I will only be supporting the following phones:

- All MagSafe enabled phones (12-17)
- Pixel 8
- Pixel 8 Pro
- Galaxy S23/24 Ultra

I'll look into adding support for other phones if things calm down a bit.

If you are interested sign up below with your name and model of your phone.

Tagging a few folks that were waiting for 25W. I appreciate it has been a while since the last update/batch, so I don't want to assume everyone is still interested.

@silent cilantro I have a pixel 9 pro xl but I believe that should fit the same as a pixel 8 pro so sign me up!

 

[silent cilantro]

@silent cilantro If you can manage a "generic" tray that loosely fits any phone that is less than an inch or so in width to the opening of the cubby space, I would like to order (currently waiting for the Pixel 10a to be announced next year). I think the magnetic hold would be strong enough for my driving, so no need for a close fitting device-specific design.

 

[silent cilantro]

The tray is already mostly universal except for the camera recess since I’m trying to optimize contact area between the phone and charger while still providing support.

But yes, I agree and I think the tray that fits the new iPhone 17 pro will look like what you describe and will likely fit most phones.

 

[virtualmacho]

OK, in that case...

I've experienced several issues when connecting CarPlay wirelessly. I can only use it plugged. In fact, I disabled wireless connection entirely. That's what's holding me from placing an order atm.

Off topic, but have you tried one of those wireless Apple CarPlay / Android Auto dongles? They will look like a wired connection from the car's perspective. It is a must-have for our Emiras where wireless CarPlay / Audroid Auto is not enabled.
