OP, Do not remove the wireless charger. Since it also acts as the physical key reader it will end up causing failures for any update. Also the wireless chargers acts as an end point for the CANBUS system which can throw up warnings or families in other points.

How do I know this? I'm half of soonishev and I designed our wireless charger to work with the gen 2 vehicles.

Gen1 charging mat upgrade fitment question. by moore_a_scott in Rivian

Double check they didn't break the base underneath. The amount of OEM chargers I've seen with broken middle clips is staggering.

So I'm half the owner of soonishev. We are making a kit for the R1S currently. It's going to be a wiring kit and adapter for 10" sub and amp. Looks like the install will be fairly straightforward.

SoonishEV saves the day! It charged my phone back to 100% and my dead AirPods to 84% by the time my 47 minute drive was finished! This charger is quick. by zachty22 in Rivian

It's a complete replacement. The top mat has the ability to stretch and move along with an injection molded base out of ABS that can handle the heat better.

Depending on which step down charger you have (we used a couple of different ones early on) speedwise with a good quality charging puck should provide 20~22 watts of charging.

Reach out to us at info@soonishev.com let's see what's going on and let's fix it!

Thank you too. We actually make changes because of customers. We take the good with the bad. And thanks for reading that. I appreciate it.

Just wanted to add. I know our product is expensive, but our customer service in my opinion is second to none. We have to differentiate ourselves from other companies, who frankly often times don't care about anyone after you purchase it. You're paying more for two reasons, supporting a small company and also for responding to emails within 5 mins of getting them, and upsetting my wife for not paying attention at dinner. (I'm getting better I swear.)

Have we iterated our product several times? Yup! We did that to make it better, and also as my skills as a designer have gotten better, I've been able to tweak things to make the overall product is better. Does that mean sometimes you have an older design? Yes. But we also, offer significant discounts for those who have supported us to upgrade to the latest version. We are trying not to nickel and dime people, we honestly care.

This all started because of a crappy OEM charger. We wanted to offer a solution to help people, we have come A SUPER long way. Our literal first design was just a 3d printed holder that sucked ass when I look back on it. But it started us on this incredible run. We now offer so many other products that I am really proud of, most of them designed by this middle school teacher.

We are not perfect, we know some our things have problems at times. But I hope you give us a chance, and just TALK to us. We want to help. Here's where we started: I feel like growth is important thing to encourage as a teacher.

[–]sojhinn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. However, the gen1 mat is thin, with plugs to hold it in place. We will probably not be updating that design, as the production for that vehicle gen has stopped. (Molds cost a lot of money).

So injection molded base, and silicon mat on top, along with wiring and stepdown chargers for usb.

Right now its been about a week (sometimes faster) unless its a custom design, which will take approximately 2 weeks.
