Taptes Gen 2 charge pad arrived

[hugh_jassol]

Can OP list everything that is different with gen 2?

Not OP, but I believe there are three main differences:

1. Supports horizontal phone placement
2. has a USB-A port on the side of the lower "lip" on the passenger side to allow a charging cable to plug in if a phone doesn't support wireless charging
3. has the "pegs" on the back that fit into the holes on the tray (the original was a flat back)

This seems to be a dead copy of the Jeda

I hope so. Cause it's half the price.

Got my package. Some pictures below.

How is the charging cable in the "lip" connected? Is it fixed or is there a connector somewhere?

It's a fixed USB C cable.

Thanks! Excited to get mine

I can confirm that it supports fast wireless charging if you run a cable to the 12V outlet. Works great with my Galaxy S7 Edge.

The parts list in the manual shows a USB C to Lightning adapter. (Item 4)
There was not one in my package.

I will email Taptes about it.

It was not expected but if it is actually included, bonus!

It looks like they have LED charging indicators, which the Jeda doesn’t have

I didn't see the adapter in my package either.

Looks like you're right. The Jeda does have the 3 lighting bolt symbols that the Taptes doesn't have.

Looks like on the Jeda there's no fixed cable and there are 2 holes on the "lip" where you can run through wires.

Yes, but you need a special spacer to bring the plugs up high enough.

Given that the Taptes is half the price of the Jeda and appears to work well, I think it is the better deal.

I have emailed them about the missing adapter.

Did you get the door button stickers?

Nothing like virtue signalling...

Yeah I got the stickers. I guess that's the special gift for the delay in shipment?

The adapter didn't come in mine either. I assume they weren't ready or available yet. I should call too.

What is the carbon thing that came with the stickers?

 

[P99GUY]

No carbon thing. That was just the packaging.

Companies think that if they say carbon fiber it makes it more valuable.
