    The phones are now to big to rest on the wireless charger in the center console. Has anyone found a workaround?

    If there is a workaround, I hope it includes some sort of ventilation. When I used mine a couple of times it got the console and the phone pretty hot. And not much charging for all that heat either.

    Well that was absolutely no help. And I did get a flip7 (not primary phone) and it really does not fit flush. that would have to be a pretty small phone by todays standards.

    There are many choices you can go with for phones. Surely when Toyota thought of the phone sizes, they put what they felt was most popular. Which probably doesn't include tablets or super size phones that you can't use with 1 hand. Luckily for those owners, they make corded chargers
