Wireless Charger Fits Auto Console

[95Bravo]

I bought a Base Scquatch with 10-sp auto and standard equipment package -- it did not come with the built-in wireless charger. And as @BlueBronco pointed out, if you use wireless connection, carplay, etc. it runs down your phone battery BUT plugging your phone in defeats the purpose of wireless connection. So I found a Qi wireless charging pad that fits the space forward of the gear selector: Insignia, model NS-MWPC10K, and it was $15 at Besbuy. It plugs into the usb port and the wires tuck away nicely and stay tucked away. There is even a bit of room for loose items. All-in-all, a good wireless solution for those of us with the standard equipment package.

Well shit I could have saved myself thousands of $s. Good idea!

Just need to find a stubby 2"-3" USB cord and that would be a pretty good fix. I like it. When it quits working, just throw it away and buy another $15 pad. Nice.

Thanks for that. Picked up a 2 pack for $16.99. And it will be a heck of a lot cheaper fix when it dies as opposed to the factory one.

If you can, look into getting one with a short usb c cord. The charge rate will be better on a usb c vs a standard usb.

Good call. The wireless charge pad in my Tacoma has been worthless from the start. So the option ford was offering was never a selling point for me.

This is the way to go.

Thanks, @Jr87mustang! I didn't even know the short cord existed. I ordered a pack and will try it.
