Wireless charging is a technology feature that many manufacturers are now including in their vehicle lineup. You can easily charge your smartphone while driving without having to connect your phone to any kind of cable. Not only is this convenient, but this is also a great way to keep your vehicle free of wire clutter. If you've recently purchased a new Cadillac or are thinking about buying one, let's take a quick look at the wireless charging abilities.

Not all smartphones will work with wireless charging, so make sure that you have a compatible device prior to attempting the charge. If you don't have a compatible phone, you can talk to your wireless provider about acquiring an adapter that will allow you to charge on a wireless basis. Once you are ready to charge, simply place your device face up on top of the coil charging symbol on the charging pad in your Cadillac. You may also be able to charge your phone while it is inside of your pocket. Your vehicle must be running in order to establish a charge. You can also place your vehicle in accessory mode or retained accessory power mode. All other objects should be off of the charging area.

Helpful Tips for Charging Wirelessly:

  • Ensure that your phone is charging, look for the indicator on the face of your phone that indicates the charging process is going on. Depending on your phone, this could be a green LED on your phone, a battery icon blinking on your screen, etc.
  • Where your wireless charging station is located will vary based on the model of vehicle that you select.
  • If your phone is not charging despite being placed on the charging pad, remove it and wait three seconds before trying again. You may also want to rotate your phone to see if that helps. Coil locations can vary from phone manufacturer to phone manufacturer.

It's always important to understand how your vehicle works. This will allow you to take full advantage of everything that your Cadillac has to offer you. Make sure you know how to charge your phone using a wireless charging station, but also make sure that you can confirm your phone is charging.
