For those on the fence about the Carlinkit like I am, it is on sale at Amazon today.

I think with the coupon it was $106. I paid $94.

Here's what I get. Interestingly it was more expensive when I originally replied. LIke I said, within $2 of the original link above. Now it's less (but not as low as you're seeing). I like Amazon, but that's one of the things I hate about it....

I finally had some time to find a way for getting the new texture for the smaller phones and came up with this.

There are no more rails to keep the phone in place but the wireless charger sits on an angle and the small ledge is enough to prevent the phone from sliding around too much.

The new design still supports phones up to the size of an iPhone XR with case (158mmx77mm).

The design now supports both phone sizes and the bottom shelf can be installed either flat (for the bigger phones) or on an angle (for the smaller phones).

What does everybody think?

Anyone who has received a tray from Dirk use a Samsung S21 Ultra 5G with an Otterbox? Will it fit?

After reading 14 pages, I am wondering about the status of the wireless Android Auto, as well. "Mid-June or maybe July" is what I recall. That's about now...?

You would need to use the bracket without rails with flat wireless charging pad since 165.1 x 75.6mm plus case would not be a "small" phone anymore. I have not tried an Otterbox case but I would guess the rubbery wireless charging pad plus textured bracket will not allow the phone to slide around very much unless you go off-roading or racing.

Oh no, my phone is definitely not small. It's a chonky beast. I have a love/hate with that.

I ordered my AA connector on Indiegogo, so I am good there.

AAWireless is having shipping issues due to the chip shortage. They changed the shipping date to October for new orders. I ordered for June shipping, but doesn't look like it will be anytime soon. Hoping for next month though, we will see.

I just got an update that they are expecting a shipment of 5900 units on Friday, which will cover all of the March, April and May perks that were ordered. Since they will have covered all of May, I am more hopeful I may have my perk in July. Hopefully yours will come sooner than October as well.

Do you have one of these plates that’ll work for a iPhone 11 Pro Max?
