Quick answer
The Anker Nano Wireless Car Charger with its magnetic detachable pad is simple to set up: mount the base in your car, attach the pad magnetically, and place your phone on it for wireless charging. Follow the steps below for a secure, hassle-free installation.
Why the detachable pad adds flexibility
Unlike a fixed car mount, the detachable pad lets you remove the charging surface and use it outside the car—for example, at your desk or on a nightstand. The magnetic connection is strong enough to hold your phone securely while driving, but the pad detaches easily when you need it elsewhere.
This design reduces cable clutter inside the car because you don’t need a separate cable for the pad itself—it connects wirelessly to the base. Just remember that the pad must stay within range of the base to charge; if you take it too far, charging stops.
How to set up and use the Anker Nano Wireless Car Charger
- Mount the base in your car: Choose a flat, stable spot on your dashboard or windshield. Clean the surface and press the adhesive mount firmly. Let it set for at least 30 minutes before attaching the pad. A common mistake is mounting on a curved or dusty surface—the adhesive won't hold. Use the included alcohol wipe for best adhesion.
- Attach the magnetic pad to the base: Align the pad with the base until you feel the magnetic snap. Ensure it is centered so the charging coils align. The pad will stay in place even over bumps. If the pad wobbles or feels loose, recheck the alignment. The magnets should pull the pad into position—if you have to force it, something is off.
- Connect the power cable: Plug the included USB-C cable into the base and the other end into your car’s USB-A or USB-C port. The base will light up to indicate power is on. Using a low-power port (e.g., an older 5V/1A port) may charge slowly. For best performance, use a port that supports at least 10W output.
- Place your phone on the pad: For phones with built-in magnets (iPhone 12 or newer), simply set the phone on the pad. For other phones, attach the included metal ring to your case or phone back. The magnet will hold the phone securely. If your phone doesn’t charge, check that the metal ring is centered on the back of the phone—misalignment can block wireless charging.
- Remove the pad for use outside the car: To detach the pad, grip it firmly and pull straight away from the base. The pad will disconnect without pulling the base off the mount. You can then place it on a flat surface and charge your phone wirelessly. Don’t yank the pad sideways—this could stress the magnetic connection. Pull straight out for a clean release.
