Wireless Charging Install

[fob63]

@DirkM
Can you quote me a price for a tray? I can paint texture or whatever needs to
be finished. I have a couple of USB wireless charging pads for car already.
Thanks

Dirk, received the wireless charging bracket and charging pad. Looks and fits great. I will hardwire a 3 amp usb socket, and while I have the trim pulled apart I will install the Redarc trailer brake controller and run a USB socket up to the dash tray. I have the Lightforce switch fascia panel. I'll probably sand and paint it this weekend.

I would like to request a tray as well. But I have one question. Is there enough clearance to fit one of these Wireless Android Auto units underneath?

To make it easier: #110

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.

I need this Dirk. No rails, I have a galaxy s21 ultra so size would be an issue but the bottom picture looks perfect. I'm ready to pay...

Hello everybody,

I have been working on something new, it's not plug and play though because it needs a USB-C QC3.0 plug to charge properly. What do you all think?

Good idea but I will say, I have had better luck with connecting my Iphone to the truck using the Wireless Carplay (CarLink) module. When I was using the wired connection CarPlay wouldn't come up quite often. Idk if it was a Sync thing or a CarPlay thing.

I would think you would want to be an indent in the bracket or have adjustable rails so your phone isn't sliding around

This is for the iPhone 12 series only, no rails required because the iPhone will attach to the Apple MagSafe adapter and cannot slide around. It still requires a wireless CarPlay adapter just like the other bracket does.

Derp, I didn't even notice it was a magsafe connection. In that case that sounds great.

Is the shape the only difference? Or is the original design not a fast charge? Sorry if it's already been clarified.

 

[DirkM]

The charger is the only difference. The wireless charging pad can charge up to 15W on a proper power supply and with a compatible phone. The iPhone 12 will only charge at 7.5W on QI charger though unless you use a MagSafe charger which supports up to 15W when connected to a compatible power supply. This explains it more detailed.

Sent Dirk a PM a couple days ago, and I now have a new wireless charge pad ready to go in my hands today! Thanks brother!
