Tundra Wireless Charger

Is it a kit or something you pieced together on your own?

 

Got a charger and cable from Amazon

 

Did the charger you bought include the piece that actually holds the charger in place that mounts to the bottom of the console lid?

 

Yes exactly

 

Nice! Looks like a clean and easy install. How did you attach it? If you can share the actual product you used that would be great and might help others that might want to do this same mod, including myself!

 

You wasted your time. The plastic is still too thick to effectively charge any phone that isn’t over 5 years old. All you made was a center console warmer.

 

Here are the items I used in my setup . Cut out the rear walls of the tray to allow the mounting bracket to sit flush. Then, glue the included mounting bracket from the wireless charger to the back of the tray, as shown in the picture. Hope this helps.

Really do you know anything? the charger works up to 30mm! bros

 

the charger works with these phones Google phone/LG/V60/V50/V40/V30+/G8/G8s/G7/smartphones or wireless earbuds like AirPods & Galaxy Buds., Samsung S24 Ultra/S23/S22/S21/S21+/S20/S20+/Note 20/10+ /9/8/7/S10/S9/S8/S7/S6, iPhone 16 Pro Max/16 Pro/16 Plus/16 /16 Mini/iPhone 15/15 plus/15 pro/15 pro max/14/14 plus/14 pro/14 pro max/13/13 mini/12/ 12 mini/ 11/ 11 Pro/ Xs Max/XS/SE2/XR/X/8/8 Plus

 

Many of the oem and aftermarket chargers have been known to overheat and stop charging…..I think that’s all he was saying. I have installed 3 so far and it always stopped charging or overheated after about 10-15 minutes. Hope you have better luck

 

it works for all my androids and iphones from 5% to fully charged daily without any issue. I do not represent any OEM or aftermarket charger vendors but do take advantage of Amazon return policy as needed.

 

Do these allow AA or Carplay to function fully without the cable? Or are they simply to allow for charging without a cable?

 

It has nothing to do with your first question. its main purpose is the latter

 

Gotcha. I don't understand the need/desire for wireless charging if you have to plug in the phone for full functionality, so I'll add it to the list of mods I won't spend my money on. TEHO though.

 

This ^

 

Thinking outside of the box can save money

 

True. Thinking outside the box can also mean questioning the need or usefulness of doing something.

 

Cut the OP some slack. Dude has 12 posts and he is trying to be a contributing member already. Beats 12 posts about lifts, tires, and how to get 30mpg.

Toyota sells a wireless charging insert for this space also. (I installed it in mine). So all he did was creat his own version of the same idea.

Props for sharing OP.

 

You're right. Good job on the OP for figuring out a different way of doing it.

 

Everyone has his or her opinion about anything which is what free speech is all about in America

 

Ive been running a similar setup in my 2016 for the last several years. It was one of the earliest mods i did right after i bought the truck.
It has charged my last 3 Androids without issue, my BIL iPhone and any other phone capable of wireless charging.

Nice work !

 

For those like me with '20+ that have CarPlay and did a wireless CarPlay adapter, console wireless charging is flawless since you don't need no stink'n wires. That said, I still haven't installed the wireless charger yet.

 

Is the wireless CarPlay adapter still a dongle that needs to be plugged in to the port?

 

It does, but you stealth install it under the center console, out of sight.

 

How often does it lag or glitch? When I am connected to the head unit by blueooth, it can often be frustrating when on a call or streaming audio content.

 

I don't really have many issues. Takes a few seconds to register/connect as I'm putting my seatbelt on, leaving the parking spot/driveway. So long as I don't start the truck say on a cold morning, it connect, and then I walk away and it disconnects, it's pretty dang flawless. It was one of the first mods I did, and I specifically sought out a '20+ for CarPlay knowing I'd do the wireless dongle. I've got a CarLinkIt setup.

 

Do you have the original head unit?

 

Sure do

 

I use a dongle for wireless Apple CarPlay as well. I find that it works great and is even less glitchy than the wired connection.

I’ve been tempted to install a wireless charger. I’d really only need it on road trips. For now, on long drives, I switch to the wired connection but it would be nice to not have to do that.
