Wireless Charging Install

[DirkM]

The knock off MagSafe charger did charge my iPhone 12 (62% charged) at 9W today with a 60W USB-C PD power source which was a pleasant surprise. Haven't tried the 14 Pro yet but I may actually change to the black one since it looks nicer than the white one.

Iv’e used this one with Dirk’s tray since July. I didnt like the little car logo and the ring glows green in the dark. I also wired in a separate power supply for faster charging and use an iphone.

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.

Are you still doing this? I am very interested in getting one.

They were made by @DirkM . Not sure how often he’s around, lord knows I haven’t been here in a minute. Still my #1 favorite add on to the Ranger.

Yeah, it was late and dark in the garage and I was hellbent on getting everything buttoned back up. I knew I would regret not taking some photos.

I tried Android Auto also and while it's neat technology, I don't really card for it either. I like how it makes your steering wheel voice control into a Google Assistant button but I really dislike the timeline interface of the home and I din't link having to attach the phone via cable. I wish it would work via Bluetooth. It works for the Ford+Alexa app. Have you tried that out yet?

Dirk, I'm trying to figure out how to message you on here. Can you let me know how much your wireless charging setup costs? TIA

 

[Superspirit]

Im interested to know that also.

Just ordered one and can’t wait to install and see how well it works.

Hi Dirk. I'm in NZ with a RHD Ranger and the above picture is exactly what I've been looking for so that I can use the wireless charging pad. Could you make one of these for me please and if so price and postage to NZ.

Cheers. Ed

Got my bracket from Dirk. It's a perfect fit, and looks fantastic! Thanks so much Dirk! I did as a few others above have done. I bought the Car Wireless charging pad, a QC 3.0 USB step down converter, and some add a circuit fuse tap pigtails. I tapped into fuse 35 as it turns off with the ignition. The fuse pigtail and QC step down thing had cables long enough to reach all the way to right behind the dash to plug right into the charging pad. I plugged in my AAwireless dongle to the left USB port, and a spare USB cable into the right port and left it hanging out the right side in case my wife or kids want to plug their phones in. Everything is working perfectly so far. I'm very happy with how it all turned out. One of the most practical/functional mods I've done so far after 10k miles.

If only Ford had been so forthoughtful to include in design. Whole console seems ill thought.
