![Question](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Trying to figure out a way to have my car or phone issue an alert when the car is put in park and the power is turned off. The charger is hidden away, nicely, but I'm constantly forgetting to grab my phone.
Any ideas?
I could set a geographic reminder, but that means putting in my destination for everything.

Welcome to CL as a new poster.

You didn't say what kind of vehicle or Smart-phone you have...but, even so, I don't entirely agree with xjokerz's "LOL" comment. IMO, you ask a legitimate question, although, in truth, most vehicles and phones are probably not set up with an option like what you want on the menu.
What I would suggest is, if the wireless-charger is in a place that is difficult to see or hidden away, you simply use a cord and conventionally recharge the phone by plugging it into an outlet inside the vehicle.....most recent vehicles have one. While it is charging inside the vehicle, let the phone rest on a spot where you easily see it and are not likely to just walk off and forget to take it .......maybe on the console, passenger-seat, or inside a bag next to you. I wouldn't recommend letting it sit on the dash, however, because it could become a flying missile if your vehicle hits something and the dash-air-bags go off.

Is it an iPhone? You can program a routine that will play a sound when it is disconnected from Bluetooth or CarPlay.
I set reminders all the time to tell me "when I get home" or "when I get to work" and they work great.

I don't have good memory either... so I came up with something to remind me. Every time I leave a place, I count 1, 2, 3. 1: Tap the b**t for wallet, 2: tap pant pocket for keys, 3: tap shirt pocket or the other pant pocket for phone. Never miss one again. ![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
BMW does that too. I wonder if it's the charger or a separate sensor because due shortage some of these cars don't come with wireless chargers.
