If you're like me and found the Ford OEM wireless charger to be absolutely useless, I thought I'd share my setup for you.
There's several 3rd party options for replacement wireless chargers but none that I've seen are Magsafe compatible. IMO this is essential if you're in a moving vehicle and much more effective than the anti-slip pad since you can dock it without taking your eyes off the road. Another positive is I get the OEM area back for storage.
Overall it was inexpensive and looks clean on the dash. The only potential downside is my current setup has the phone sitting at 45 degrees due to the limits of the ball articulation. If you use your phone screen during your drive, a true 90 degree mount might be better. I linked an inexpensive vertical one from Arkon. It was cheap enough that I ordered that too so see which one I like better.
