Just wanted to follow up with you TinkeringFox regarding how you went about this new mod as i am looking to do the same on my '18. I realize there are a few feasible ways of achieving this but appreciate your insight. Was this achieved at the bcm/switch or by simple hardwiring w/ diode?

Trim ring is from spigen.com. Black Friday deals had em for $10/ea.

Glad to see I’m not the only one after this setup. I did this to mine back in Nov, only I chose to conceal the cable through the rubber liner 90degrees down from the chargers output. I ran the wiring through the lid to a PD charger inside the center console that’s keyed to the ignition. I also 3m taped(w/ 3m adhesion promoter) for bonding, then added a trim ring to take away some of the “puck” look. Next time I have some clear coat mixed up I plan to paint the trim ring to match the plastic surround. To finish it off, I have a 3D textured 3m skin coming for the MagSafe charger that will match the leather of the console. I recommend the cplay2air module(I’ve got mine inside the glovebox) which will allow your CarPlay to work wirelessly while using this style setup. ??

Yes, 11mm/3watt/flush mount/stainless bolt lights

Little lighting upgrade. A lot easier to see when b/u with 20% tint on side windows. Also illuminates b/u camera much better

No t-splice harness, military splice in left kick panel. Harnesses in kit are sized pretty appropriately, grounds to factory bolt in left kick also. I pulled RAP for my switches/relays from left side dash fuse panel as the way they come from kicker is a signal sense turn on for the amps and I found that they would like to stay on constantly(unnecessary power consumption/battery draw) which I’m not a big fan of

2x Kicker VSS Substage Enclosures 10” with the Bose system(front bench seat). Designed for Right Rear seat only but simple enough to modify for the left rear seat also. Added Illuminated billet push button switches/relays to allow for bypass of both, independent operation, or simultaneous operation. Pretty impressed by the output! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
