Found a tiny dual USB port for Cig Lighter

I don't smoke so the cigarette lighter is useless for me. I have the factory USB ports in the center console/armrest and the 110vt port in the rear console. But, now I have dual 2.4amp ports at the front. Easier to pop the phones into the drink holders whilst plugged in.

Found this one on Amazon. It has a really low profile so it fits nicely even with cords plugged in. Link to Amazon part:

I have that very same charger and also took the ashtray out to fit my phone in the recess. However, I've plugged in a wireless charging pad and now can just put my phone on top of that rather than having to fiddle with a cord. much more convenient and also allows me to close the console making for a neater look.

Which system did you get? and how much did it cost?

No system, just this wireless charging pad that cost all of $21.
Amazon.com: OCHEE Wireless Charger,Ultra-Slim QI Wireless Charging Pad for Samsung Galaxy S6/S6 Edge/S6 Edge plus,Note 5,MOTO Droid,Nexus 7/6/5/4,Lumia 1020/ 920/928,ALL Qi-Enabled Devices (OE3C04) (Blue): Cell Phones & Accessories Amazon.com: OCHEE Wireless Charger,Ultra-Slim QI Wireless Charging Pad for Samsung Galaxy S6/S6 Edge/S6 Edge plus,Note 5,MOTO Droid,Nexus 7/6/5/4,Lumia 1020/ 920/928,ALL Qi-Enabled Devices (OE3C04) (Blue): Cell Phones & Accessories

It's a little too long to lie flat in the recess but with the door closed it's fine. I like it because it's thin and has a non slip surface. I have a Samsung with built in wireless charging so that's all I needed. I have several charging pads in my house but none of those fit the bill in terms of size/shape and surface grip but this one does.

I hear it interferes with DAB reception - can you confirm that?

The wireless charging pad? No radio interference whatsoever. And none with the charger either. I have heard of some cases where the charger has caused interference but I've not experienced it with this product, or with any of the gazillion ones I've used over the years.

My galaxy Note 4 does not come with wireless charging. But, I did find this product to convert it. http://www.fonesalesman.com/collecti...cts/n4-pwrcard

Not all phones come with the ability to wireless charge. Here is a list of phone models: http://www.qinside.biz/en/support/qi...ed-phones-2015

Those that don't can usually be made to do so with a special case. I don't care for adding big heavy/thick cases to my phone though. It's not so hard to plug in
