I just watched this review and she gave a thumbs down for the wireless charging. She said it overheated her phone if i understood her correctly? I haven't had time to watch more review. my manager expects me to do work during working hours. Rude.

I am wondering if anyone out there has heard similar feedback in any of the other reviews that were recently posted?

I hope not as this is one feature I was really excited about. My wife has a 2023 Honda Civic and lately, I keep losing connectivity to Android Auto. I've swapped out the cord a few times, same result, seems like the USB connection is loose. Perhaps I need to Google this topic to see if there is a known problem with the Honda Civic, but in the meantime, what's the word on this new Toyota wireless charging/connectivity?

I lurk on the 4th gen Tacoma forums and haven't seen phone overheating being a common issue, just a few owners here and there. Could be phone specific too.

Just searched up phone overheat wireless charging on Tacoma4g and this is only thread I came across where owners mentioned it -- only 2 owners said their phones overheat with the factory wireless charging mat.

Ok great. Really appreciate the response on this. I am not going to worry about this issue for now. Thanks

A lot can come down to the case on the phone too. A thicker case can trap more heat and also make charging more inefficient and that lost power becomes more heat.

I am kind of thinking that the lady that did the review lost a bit of credibility with me when she gave the thumbs down for that functionality. Probably just her case or the fact she was bouncing around off-road, or something else.
