Care cover looks really nice! That is an 'outdoor' car cover right? Do they sell an 'indoor' car cover? Is there any reason NOT to use an outdoor cover indoors?
It is an semi permeable cover that can be used out doors so its not waterproof - look at seal skin car covers

Those who got the wireless charging, do you need to purchase a separate charging case for your iphone?
Noob here.
I don't have an iPhone but i know that he iPhone does that have wireless charging by default. You would need to buy a separate charging case.

Getting super-hot indicates an issue with your phone, not the wireless charger. Perhaps you are using a case? (a case that isn't wireless compatible)

The (factory-installed) wireless charger works fine with my Nexus 5 - although the charger is not used when running Android Auto. I don't know if the dealer-installed item is different.
It's a Galaxy S7, no case on it at all. Though it's possible it's the phone on the heating issue, it still doesn't charge it very well. I mean it's fine, it's cool to say I have it, but if I could do it again I wouldn't lol.

Legit curious question here.

Since the Type R doesn't have wireless Apple CarPlay what value does having the wireless charging provide? Other than being an add on for maybe passengers.

When I listen to music or podcasts I use CarPlay, so I have to be plugged in, so i'm charging the whole time i'm in the car.

I don't get the use. Unless you don't use CarPlay...

Unfortunately this is what we're dealt with... i bought a $12 iPhone case that supports wireless charging but can't use it anyway cause i use plugged-in Carplay all the time. Only time it comes in handy is if i have a passenger with another iPhone :dunno:

That's what I was thinking i'd use it for once I realized how much i'd be charging using CarPlay. But since it didn't come in the car i'll probably just not get the wireless charger.

Nice. Where did you order from? I really need the trunk tray.
