The best solution to retain wireless charging is to use the Course Motorsports Autogrip Wireless Induction Charger or Course Motorsports Magnetic Wireless Induction Charger. Both of these will mount to your DirectFit phone mount, while securely mounting and charging your phone.If you would prefer to use the magnetic mount, you will need to locate the steel pad out of the way of the wireless charging coil which is usually located in the middle of the phone.
