couldn't you tap into the power for the USB cable in the same area? Don't know that much about USB and car cabling. issue with the wattage/amps being shared from the port and mag safe charger?

Id love to replace the POS wireless charger from ford that came with our lux package. Thing is absolutely worthless. Anyone swapped it out for something like this?

👏 Excellent post with step by step instructions/diagrams.

But am I the only one that felt overwhelmed by the process? I tried to follow along, but...

I wouldn’t want to mess with the cabling for the usb hub. That hub supplies the wired connection for CarPlay if needed. As a power test, I plugged MagSafe into the usb c port but it only offered enough power for standard charge. An error popped up on the screen saying accessory not supported, remove accessory.
So, I decided adding a stand-alone power source would be the best

Super cool write up Thanks, I personally just hate putting my phone in that spot I always put my wallet in that spot, This is parts and pics of what I did. Also this cheap charger charges why using CarPlay.

May use your write up to hide my cable better.

Thank you !!! This is so useful.


With this in mind I need now someone to come up with Heated steering wheel.
Want speakers too but this is the one task that seams complicated to me.
In any case charge pad + a heated steering wheel and I dont have to get Lux!

  1. 3D Print your holder in advance and order all the stuff from the list.
  2. Remove the top console plate.
  3. Cut the hole for the holder and install the holder and charge puck.
  4. Wire and install the power source.
  5. Reinstall all trim panels that were removed.
Guess i'm getting old, cuz i don't have a 3D printer...



But this is a good How too, Good Job

Here is one on Pinterest. I’m chatting with another forum member about maybe offering the holder or another solution to install there for this how-to

Really well documented and helpful write up on something I think a lot of us would want to do. Thanks! This is exactly what I like to see on this forum.

Wow! I duct taped a usb charger to the bottom of the pad, put it back in place, and plugged the USB cable into the existing charger… you can’t even see it
