Retrofit Wireless Charger 🙌
Always trying to make my life easier and find more time, I found a pretty kickass way to wireless charge my phone. I've been using it for about a week and did a quick review on it. Anyone else tried it yet??

Thanks for the vid. I optioned mines without the wireless charging since I have to plug it in for android auto anyways. It's good to know it's easy and inexpensive to add it aftermarket in case I need it later.

Yeah, kinda defeats the purpose if you still need to wire it to get AppleCarplay/AndroidAuto to work.... Albeit, I ordered mine with the wireless in hopes that soon we will have the wireless AC/AA working for the 2020 models...

seems pretty cool, thanks for posting. a little on the pricey side, but sure does looks neat and clean

Out of curiosity, Anyone know if the 2020 with wireless charging is just a plugin unit like this or is it actually a fixed unit?

Fixed unit and they forgot to pipe in cooling. It cooks your phone if you go for long drives and will disable itself.

I prefer plugging in on long drives.
