I have a vehicle that has wireless charging. I read abt it and it says it might interfere with pacemakers. Anyone have any problems with these?

I don't usually even think about my PM any more.. then I see I have wireless charging for my cell in my vehicle and go yay! Then I read how it works and it gave me the warning! Thanks for the help!! The PM forum has really helped me get back to living my life and enjoying it!! Happy New Year!!

As for my pacemaker (almost 7 years old) I like to think of it in the terms of the old Timex commercial - takes a licking and keeps on ticking.
wireless charging, coffee machines, metal detectors,, flying, cell phones, etc.

Our modern pacemakers are miracles of reliability, and are shielded against electomagnetic influences that one might encounter in daily life from any household electrical appliance.
The cautions one comes across from time to time are either leftover from the early days of pacemakers, perpetuated by the ignorant, or written by lawyers with a CYA philosophy.
What this means to you is Don't Worry. Be Happy. If in the unlikely event that you do have some concern remember that electromagnetic fields, even very strong ones, drop off rapidly with distance. Don't lie with your chest on top of the car battery. Operate the car from the usual driving position and you'll be fine.
