Does The Wireless Mat Come Off?

[CarbonEV]

I’m looking to route a cable up to the wireless charger however can you remove the charger mat without damaging anything?

It seems to be stuck on pretty tight. And before I try & peel it up, I wanted to ask if anyone had done it previously ?.

My aim to remove the mat permanently, stick down a magnetic stand for my phone, so that when I route the cable, the phone is held tight in place and so won’t slip off like I’ve seen in some videos.

The holder is very small, a MagSafe holder that cost £16 but will neatly hold the iPhone securely.

I can post pics once done if anyone is interested, but I just wanted to double check about the rubber mat.

Yes.
Push something up (pencil) from below to push up edge of mat.
Then just pull it upwards.

Yes peel up the mat. That's all you need to do.
Did you know there is a hole either side of of the mat that runs through the gear selector surround so you can route a cable.
The mat has slits on so you can get the cable through the mat.

It's odd that you're finding it hard to remove. It's only attached by four sort of rubber dimple press-studs, one in each corner. Unless the one in the X-Power is different from the one in the SE.

I find that, having a fairly thick phone cable routed through the holes in the mat, that it comes up of its own accord sometimes when I'm fiddling with the phone.

It seems to be very secure. I didn’t want to risk damaging it as one video I watched the guy said he didn’t risk trying it.

So I could have peeled it up but I just wanted to clarify it’s ok to do.

I’ll provide an update tomorrow if I can get the phone mount to stick down securely.

Thank for you the reply & same for everyone else

I used a large, flat-blade screwdriver (pushed up from underneath) to dislodge one edge of the mat on mine. As I'm using a magnetic connector cable then it's been a one-time activity for me.

I was the same at first, I thought it was stuck on. As @Rolfe says it's just 4 little rubber bungs that hold it in, a good tug once you get an edge up to grip it should do it.

Don't be afraid, it is just well secured but the whole design means it is supposed to come out.

Yes it is fixed down with studs, but can be removed and refitted, would be interested to see your end result

Burl Solomons has a YouTube video where he uses an old credit card to prise it up. I have indeed done the same to route the usb cable up.

Yes I ended up using the cable up method

Just use a small screwdriver and gently push through the holes from underneath. Very easy to do
