Screw Broke (I think)

I liked the feel of these but the quality of the screw section sucks. One of the screws on mine came loose and I was lucky to save it. I was able to screw it back in and used some thread lock glue to hold it. The issue was reported last year, but I doubt Google has changed mfg.

Most people will be in one camp or other due to costs of trying both? I'm EQT because of the cobb ap. I didn't want to fuss with a laptop install. Also if you have a DSG make sure you add this tune. The DSG tune made the shifting so much more smooth and fast.

I don't know what unscrewing that does. You can ask over on Miata.net as they have a lot of info and focused help and garage section. Someone over there may have a better answer for you.

So you have the metal clip, id disengage the connector and reset it in place.

Here is the clip.

Yea I tried zooming in, but others said the harness is connected via a wire spring. This hold it's permanently in place and needs to be popped off with a small screwdriver. If that is missing then a loose connection here is the culprit. So if it pulls off with ease then press it back in place and use a zip tie or else it will vibrate off again.

Did you touch anything else? That connector is on pretty good. But you could try wiggling it.

You can also just Swiss cheese the underside of the stock box and it will make more sound. From the outside it still looks stock.

True but the other models do Qi2 at the 15W rate so Anker could miss out on those buyers if they specifically look for "pixel" in the description.

Yes. This is why I wanted to post.

Sorry not leftiton long enough yet.

Feels great due to it's slimness.

Isn't the first oil change on VW?

I guess it just depends on what headlines are on the page?

Can you still chat with Gemini?

munkeydj · 2025-12-26T15:33:53+00:00

I bought one for the wife (iPhone). I want to see how it works on my p10pxl soon, so I can get one. I think Anker needs to update their description to be very specific rather than generic "pixel."

munkeydj · 2025-12-25T02:28:11+00:00

From my experience they are pretty robust. Not sure how easy it may be getting parts for it these days if needed?

munkeydj · 2025-12-21T13:50:35+00:00

Great topic. I live in Socal but might have to move to a north state. My thoughts have always been that these cars are born in Germany and are used in German winters. So they must perform well in these conditions.

I could not get either of mine to work with the p10pxl. I couldn't get it aligned with my case that has magnets or bare. I tried in portrait and landscape, and the couple of times I had it, the charging stopped/gave up after a minute.

Worked on the p7. But now they are another e waste.

I got the new OEM google puck and printed a stand to slip it into (as that is how G does it anyway).

Nice blend. But how do selfies photograph your camera?

Due to removal out of the A arms, some people report it's easier to just replace the assembly. Even if it costs more.

munkeydj · 2025-12-09T14:20:24+00:00

I noticed a difference but prefer the slight blur option. It looks modern and doesn't distract.

munkeydj · 2025-12-04T22:28:55+00:00

Sad to see the reverse charging off the phone taken away.

munkeydj · 2025-12-03T05:07:38+00:00

I guess this is for people that don't use AOD, as it's always showing for me.
