It tunes on but just keeps the charge it has, maybe 1% every hour!
I have a Samsung s23, the quick wireless charger is all set on my phone!
Cant believe Benz has all this technology but has the worse wireless charger I have ever seen!

On my Galaxy S24 there is a setting at Settings/Battery/Charging Settings to enable both fast charging (25 watts) and super fast charging (45 watt via cable). The wireless charging in my '18 E300 is very fast and takes only a few minutes to charge from 30% to 80%. The Galaxy S24 indicates fast charging on its display.

What is running on the phone when wireless charging? Do you have AA running along with Google maps or Waze? Those can draw a lot of power and negate the wireless charge performance. Also, how old is your phone and do you follow proper battery care? Do you let it drain to zero or charge it to 100% often? Both are bad for overall battery health. I'm not saying the problem are with your phone but don't rule that out either. Try powering the phone off and charge wireless with the car to see if something changes.

I got it to work, I took out that rubber mat and now it charges fast!
one thing, my phone does not lay flat on the wireless changer, its too small, is that normal?
I was temped to cut out that plastic to make it lay flat- would that make for a better charge?!
Also don't like the heat, is that normal its not super hot but warm. :-)

All wireless charging create heat and that is normal. It shouldn't get hot though. If it's getting close to being too hot to touch then that is bad. If it's warm putting it to your face but not uncomfortably so, that is normal.

Not laying flat should not be an issue as long as there is not too much distance between the phone and the charge coil in the wireless charger. Removing the pad reduces the gap and makes for a better charge. Usually it's not enough for the pad to make a difference but it can in some situations. I would not cut anything on the charge end as you may cut into the actual charge coils.

But I was just going to cut where the cup holder is to give it more room so I can lay completely flat I thought maybe I'll get a better charge out of it why didn't Mercedes make this long enough for cell phones I wonder if there a purpose behind having that bit of a gap?
And I'm assuming there's no running fan underneath there to keep it cool?

I think with everything that I read- wireless chargers have never really took off because they're not as fast as plugging your phone in to a wall socket.
Not to mention they can produce more heat which is not good for the battery and also in the car your alternator fluctuates with voltage, taking off or coming to an idol that may not be good for your battery as well.
So I have an actual socket in my Mercedes I just use that now, it just works better and fast charges with no heat! 🙂
