I posted this in the "What did you do to your truck today" thread as well.
I ordered a Nokia DT-900 Wireless charger.
I chose this charger because it has 3 coils and runs directly off of 12V so there is no adapter or USB port needed to install it. It also does not use any power while there is no device laying on it, so no worries of it getting to hot or draining the battery on the Burb while it's not being used.
I installed it in the center console lid and wired it directly to the back of the rear cigarette lighter port in the console.
Only took this one pic with the rubber off so you can see it.
The hole isn't perfect as I couldn't find the proper cutting tool for my "dremel".
I also cleaned the crud off of it before reinstalling the rubber mat... didn't realize that crud was there until I removed the mat... its amazing what hides beneath... lol
Anyway, charger works good. I jokingly told my wife that between the vinyl I put on the door handles (which mimics the '15+ trucks) and the wireless charging console lid... she basically has a '15+ Burb now... lol

Thanks... I have a Foredom flex shaft tool with a foot pedal like this...
And it had like a rounded engraving type bit in it and I didn't feel like digging around to find a cut off wheel. It was kind of an impromptu installation because its Mothers day and I had to sneak out and hurry up to do it... lol
Plus it will never be seen under the rubber mat so, Meh.

Love the charger mod, been thinking of doing the same, thanks for completing the leg work for me.
Also, Dremel’s work wonders. I used mine almost everyday in the hanger. More flexible than air tools when working in aircraft. Also be sure to have an extra battery you can swap out with if cordless is your cup of tea.

Link to the charger? I see it online, but not 12v?

Honestly, I just bought one on Ebay.
It came with the cord and box that plugs into the 120v AC (house) outlet and converts it to 12v DC (car) power.
I just cut the cord at the length I needed and wired it to the rear 12v outlet.
Received my Gruven heater core T-connectors and Dorman Y-connector today...
Its gonna be next weekend before I can get them installed.
Is that Dorman Tee metal too!??
