Our 2019 Lariat came with a little coin tray which is pretty useless but I didn't like the trays from Amazon, so I made my own. It's still work in progress, not sure how/if I want to devide it but at least it's big enough but not too big to find stuff. I
I had some free time and printed more brackets (some of them are painted), I also have a few spare wireless charging pads so you don't have to order them on your own.
Please message me for details.
Happy weekend everybody,
I think I never posted an installed picture of the painted bracket, so here it is. The color of the Rustoleum Truckbed Coating is a deeper black but by looking at it with your eyes it's not that obvious.
I'm not an Android user, so I can't comment on this but I know that some Audi drivers used it successfully and all wired AA/CP headunits are supposed to support all clients. This is just emulating a wired AA client, so I don't see a reason why there would be any difference between Audi MMI and...
It's actually the one with the textured paint in the previous picture. I sanded it some more and just added a coat of the truck bed stuff.
So the order was sanding with 220 grit, primer, sanding with 400 grit, flat black, some more sanding with 400 grit, truck bed coat. if I get another miss...
It took a few weeks to warm up but now I can finally print ABS. Had to make a few adjustments to make it not warp during the print but the bracket is pretty much the same as before.
The first picture shows the bracket right after being printed and it has the typical 3D printing "texture".
The...
It's too cold to print out in the workshop right now and printing ABS in the basement without ventilation is not the best thing to do. PLA melts about 30C lower than ABS (180C vs. 210C) but unless it sits in direct sunlight, PLA should be fine. I had an Intel NUC PLA braked in one of my last...
The rails right now are 6 1/4 by 3, so your phone should fit. My iPhone 12 is a little less than 6 by 3 and I can move it around whiting the rails without it stopping to charge.
Your pad has the USB connector sticking out which "messes up the look" and was the main reason why I chose the pad linked above. You could use a "shelf" like bracket but it will never look as clean as in my pictures.
My bracket will only work with this specific kind of charging pad since it is enclosed. But I can print a "shelf" that you can put any pad on. Also, the rails (or whatever you wanna call them) are designed for an iPhone 12, larger phones or pads would need the rails moved. Without the rails the...
Thanks for the feedback. My wife really liked the orange :) although I was planning to print a black one to match her Ranger.
That thing takes 12 hours to print but now it seems to fit somehow right. Not sure if PLA will survive a hot summer, that's to be tested.
If you are interested I could...
Hello everybody,
I wanted to share how I added QI charging and wireless CarPlay to my wife's 2019 Ranger with Sync 3.
The project is still work in progress but I used a Carlinkit 2.0 Wireless CarPlay Adapter U2W with support for 5GHz, a Wireless Car Charger pad and build a custom bracket that...
