iPhone 14 Plus problems with wireless charging pad in new car

I have a brand new iPhone 14 Plus and a brand new 2023 Honda CR-V with a wireless charging pad. My previous iPhone 11 connected fine to this car's wireless pad, but the 14 Plus with its big camera bump is experiencing problems staying connected. This is not ok and I've seen previous questions asking about this, without resolution. Software is the latest, both surfaces are clean. What does Apple say to do to fix this? If this continues I may return my 14 Plus for a different model.

Happening to me, too- 14 pro- camera lens is too thick. However, if I put the phone in at a 45° angle, with the camera side lowest- it registers as charging. As soon as it’s laid flat it stops and the light switches back from yellow to green. But!! Why would Honda make such a sensitive charging pad that allows the phone to slide with every minor turn and bump?? Such a great vehicle with a $2 charging pad.

I am having the exact same issue with the I-phone 15 pro and a 2024 CR-V. My I-phone 11 laid perfectly flat on the charging pad and I had no issues. My first thought when I started having trouble charging the 15 pro was the same as yours.... the fact that the camera is not flush with the back of the phone, causing it to not align correctly with the wireless pad. Not sure what the fix is, but glad I am not the only one experiencing this issue!

I would definitely check if it charges in you car first before you buy another model.

Just bought two new 14 standard phones and neither will charge in our '20 Explorer. Our 11 and XR we traded in both worked fine. The AT&T salesman checked his phones out and his 12 Pro did NOT work either but his 13 Pro DID charge. Updated and rebooted and still nothing.
