I went the easy way and it keeps it hidden. Didn’t want to take apart my console to hide the wire. Just slipped it under the rubber mat and plugged it in. Haven’t had a problem with it connecting to it although I usually have my phone plugged in for car play.

Fyreman97 which wireless charger did you use for the under mat install? Did you have to modify/open the wireless charger?

I know people search a lot for solution's so came up with another idea that uses the USB port as well. I will also link amazon for the charger. I don't know how fast it charges since I'm not in my truck that long, but it works well with my note 10+ with otter case on it, so should work with most.

I have no relation to the seller of this and do not get any profits from it, so feel free to search elsewhere for better price. It does use the USB and doesn't require cig light plug adapter.

 

I used Gorilla tape to tape it down and to the front so it doesn't tip. I also added a small piece of Velcro to back of phone and top of charger just so phone doesn't tip on corners until I can epoxy a magnet to the top of it somewhere.  Not quite as concealed but puts phone at a nice angle for some visibility of notifications. I placed phone on it and figured out best config then placed the whole thing onto the console so the left side of my phone rides against side of console.

I have a 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT and they included the wireless charger on the center console but made it too narrow for most modern phones 🤦‍♂️ I have an iPhone 13 and only the mini iPhones/Androids fit. Pretty annoying lol. Any ideas??APP-2-Feature-1-768x491.thumb.png.213ef66b4f3d4360d5270d96a5ec909a.png

Did you ever order this and install it? I am curious how well it works.

I just did this, it's a 30 min easy job. Need to continue moving the power to a more permanent place but this is super simple.

I did a very similar install, I used a five coil, installed separate 12v socket with USB to help keep visible wires out of sight under front dash right above the transmission tunnel. 12v socket powers to ignition on only. This also keeps all the USB ports free. Clean look, flush like OEM and it fast charge. 12v.thumb.jpg.22b36561727d22e59e67e558efe0f6ac.jpg

@redlt how many watts out of that 5 coil ? Links, this one can go up to 20w if you trust Chinese sellers.... I need to hide the cable, but didn't feel like opening the middle console, I'm alone 90% of the time in the truck so won't initially bother me, but my plan was to splice and solder in.

It is 20w, I preferred the 5 coil as you can see it stretches almost the whole length of the tray, don't have to move the phone around to hit the spot. Depending how you're hard wiring it, if it is still coming from the USB port it will charge really slow from other threads that I've read. OEM ports seems to output very low.

I did the factory wireless phone charger, including the HVAC line to keep the charging area cool.  Adding the HVAC line was PITA.

AMEN to that!  I almost threw in the towel getting that into place behind the glove box!  Definitely budget time for fighting this little tube of plastic for about an hour!

At least 1 hour.  I have the Bose system in my truck, so no help at all getting it in at any point.  I ended up removing the blend door actuator the tube wraps around.  Actuator went back in easily, but what a PITA the whole process was.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By KARNUT · Posted

      More is cylinder deactivation. Kia-Hyundai Ive had 4. The warranty is the same 10 years 100K miles. My grandson drives the first one 05 Elantra GT. My wife drives the second one 2011 Genesis. The Genesis still performs as new and looks great. The Elantra looks rough. He’s not kind to it. The third was a Genesis coup. The fourth was a Santa Fe. Those were my daily drivers. I don’t keep them long. Kia is the same as Hyundai with the same warranty. I looked at the K-4 today. Too small, otherwise pretty good buy. Most of Hyundai and Kia’s have a performance upgrade.

      Oil Consumption

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends.

      185k on original 6.2L engine and 10 speed. 6" lift with 35" tires. Changed oil (Mobil 1 synthetic) when truck told me to. Original tranny with original fluid and no service or flush done. All highway miles. A/C compressor replaced at 155k. Oil cooler line replaced at 180k. Still daily driver. Love this truck.   This is my 3rd 6.2L vehicle (2008 Yukon Denali / 2018 Cadillac Escalade) with over 150k miles and no issues. Denali had broken motor mount at 100k.
