How far does the receiver have to be from the Powermat to charge the phone? I want to mount this underneath my console in my car, there will be about 1/8th to 1/4 of an inch between the Powermat and receiver.

It has to be absolutely flush with the top of the mat. You can't have anything - not even a piece of paper or a business card between the mat and the case. There are good electrical reasons for this - magnetic fields drop off with the square of the distance, so the charger would be monstrously inefficient if it were even a little bit further away. The other issue you might have is keeping the phone in place. There is a fairly small area on the charger where the phone can sit. It is held in place with the magnetic coupling, but it's only a few ounces of pressure. In a car you would need something to secure the phone to the charger.

The case that comes with the Powermat allows the phone to be charged wirelessly. This case will not fit over another case. A different case will not allow the phone to be charged wirelessly. You will have to use the case that comes with the system.

The FM antenna comes pre-attached as a thin cable (similar to thin audio cables for home speaker systems) and sits in the back about an inch away from the power plug (center-ish on the device). The cable itself is probably 2 or 3 feet long. I never untied it and just let it dangle. Hope this helps.

I want to say 3 feet..I have a mini van and I plug it info the middle console it sticks just out of the door so when I blow up a mattress I stand just outside the door..it works better then others I have tried. Has great power and to me is fast. I will get it out of storage and measure it for u later. Hope that hslps some

I've tried to judge the charging distance between the pad and device, I've found that a rough maximum of 4mm is about as far as you can go from the power source before charging doesn't work.

I'm using 2 feet and is great. It mostly depends on how far is the stereo from wherever you're gonna place the phone, and how far away you wanna be able to pull it. In my case the cup holders are seating about a feet away from the stereo (in a straight line) and I only move it towards myself (never to the back).

Its short. Just remembering my install if you have to access power more than one foot away from the device you wish to use it on you will need to add length to the power supply end rather than the output side. I used it to power a GPS on a scooter with the need for only about 2 feet and it was too short as it was shipped. I simply added supply side wire. It then worked fine. Good luck.

I am looking at it, and I think you could mount it the other way if you wanted to. It does not interfere with my regular charger (the one you plug into the computer or the power), however, I did have to file down the plastic on my car charger a little bit in order to get that to fit. It was a charger I bought from AT&T;, by the way, so it would be the standard one.

I use it to keep plugged in when in gooseneck style cradle with USB power in base in car and usually don't stretch to more than about 18-inches. If I need to take it farther away than that I just unplug the phone so it's not being tugged on constantly while I'm using it. I use a bluetooth earpiece so I don't have to bring the phone all the way up to my ear. That all being said; after several months of constant use, it still is coiled as tight as when I received it.

it is 7 inches from the power plug to the antenna, the antenna is 2 and 3/4 inches and it is 50 inches from the antenna to the base of the plug which plugs into the Garmin. The Garmin is about 1/2 inch.

It would be quite awkward. The panel is 4 ft long and a ft wide. I just put it on the roof of my car. When I am ready to go, I just take it off the roof, unplug the charging connector and I'm ready to go.

From the mounting face of the panel it goes back pretty close to 1 7/8". But there are 2 flat terminals sticking back approx. another 3/8". I had limited clearance where I put mine so I had to find 90 degree flag terminals to hook it up. This was a real challenge for me because none of the usual places have 90 degree. Regular non-twist plugs work fine except Some plugs may not make e real "secure" connection. I have a Radio Shack solar trickle charger that would break connection at the slightest bump of the plug. I had to replace it with the plug that is the companion to this socket. But I have a DVD player that doesn't do this at all. 'Just depends on the plug, I guess.

What I did was run it from the back of the radio then went to the right side and ran it down the passenger side behind the glove box. I tied the cables and box to other cables already behind the glove box, so it wasn't loose or just hanging there. Then I used twisty ties to run it along the center console with the holes. After all that, the cable is still long enough to touch the center console arm rest and then some. Hope this helps.

This is not a powermat This is an adapter for all phones, the powermat has one power source to conect in wall plug. Some powermat has an USB to plug a phone. This adapter connects the phone with the powermat.

This is a case you put on your phone to make it receive the energy from the powermat. In order for it to charge your phone you will need to buy a power mat to go with the case
