I installed this one from Amazon. I use it with my iPhone 11 Pro Max and it works great… until you need to charge and use any apps related to gps in CarPlay. It seems it is not powerful enough to charge and run gps, so the location in the app tends to freeze up. I will be looking for other options but, for now, it does the job.

Not sure what application you will be using one in, but hope that helps

Any bronco with the LUX package has the built in charge pad. I have it in my badlands.

I rarely use it as my phone is mounted on a picatinny rail and plugged into a USB port so I can use Apple CarPlay.

When I was using it, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve left my phone on the charge pad and had to go back to get it after I left the vehicle.

I haven to been impressed with the pre-installed charging pad.
I wanted a wireless ecosystem, but have found my Iphone overheats rather quickly (yes, I have a magsafe case).

The pad itself will be extremely hot to the touch.
