Been toying with the idea of finding a wireless charging pad that fits the mount and frankensteining a solution.



Would be a really nice setup.
The wireless charging is difficult. I have an Android and android auto requires a cable, so I ran the usbc through the dash and out the side of the instrument cluster. First thing I do when I get in is hook the phone to the mount, plug the phone in, AA starts immediately, and off I go. I truly hate cords though, so I hear what youre saying.

One idea - place a wireless charger in the center console and run the power to the phone harness in the front. You won't be able to see the phone but there won't be any wires.

If I were keeping my center console as is and was dead set on wireless charging, what I would do is use the open slot in the lower center console above the HVAC control. Deconstruct a wireless charging base, marry it to a clip in phone mount that I liked (magnets will interfere with the qi charger), and make it fit in that slot. Power from the phone harness. Bam. You lose the slot but gain the charger. It's all about compromises lol. But I think the best interior mods for these cars have always been the custom ones.
