Wireless charging pad DIY install hack

[billybong420]

Wonder how long until people do write ups on putting in the factory wireless charger. Should bolt right in (there’s a blank cover plate in place on vehicles not equipped) just would take some wiring knowledge.

so i have been working on this ,
LL1Z-19J235-A is the charging pad (for my 2 door stick)
then because the connector is not available seperately , i needed to purchase a new harness...... but on the bronco its part of the main dash harness, so i did a "where used" search on the pad and found out it was used in an f-150 so i ordered that console harness, JL1Z-14A318-K, Of course then went into the shop manual and it explained that it would need to shut off during the key search as it may interfere. I AM LITERALLY 3 HOURS OF BOOK WORK ON THIS AND THIS G/D GENIUS FIGURED OUT A SIMPLER, MORE PRAGMATIC SOLUTION BY SLIPPING A CHARGER UNDER THE F'NNN MATT. I BOW TO YOU SIR , I BOW TO YOU

Thank you for the praise! I’m not a genius or a sir, probably why I figured it out first

No worries I’m quite aware I’m in a small minority here lol. I’m not knowledgeable with engines or electrical systems hence the easy work around!

I’ll tell you a secret my husband is a mechanical engineer. He fixes his cars constantly but I wanna try to take care of mine as much as I can.

Anyone have a link to a wireless charger with a the shorter cord? Mine all have 3-5 feet of cable that isn't ideal for this application.

Cut and splice?

Knowledge and willingness to try are two different things, with two different safety ratings

Any thoughts on adding the charger into one of the aux switches? Just a thought.

I found this for F150, but I don't think it will fit our Broncos. Would be cool if someone made one to fit.

Honestly, after driving our mannequin for a while, the only reason i was going wireless on the charger was the wireless carplay, but i find just plugging it in to my cable works better.

@Rosanna, what has your experience been with the wireless charger? Specifically, do you know if it will keep a phone charged (or better yet, increase its charge) while connected to something like Android Auto or Apple Car Play wirelessly?

I’ll let you know I just installed it yesterday. Ive had the charger for some time and it works great. I never had apple car play so not sure how it will effect the charger. I can follow up later.
