Looking forward to your update!
Thanks for the detailed feedback! Safe travels!Update:
So, it's installed. Not difficult, just tedious. But anything electronic to me is tedious because of my hands. They are not small and do not fit in places.
So the good.
1 . Solid piece. Has two cooling fans. To note, my OEM had one cooling fan to the far left of the device. Hooking it up was not an issue, just keep your eye on what plugs into what.
2. The device lights up red when turned on, and goes blue when charging. The Apple CarPlay display gives you the lightning bolt to let you know it's working.
3. Has a nice pad that goes on top, nice feel to it, lets you know where the phone gets placed down.
So the NOT so good.
1. Directions, well, the picture ones take a wrong turn after a few steps in because they start talking about parts and things that did not come with the kit. Now they do have a sheet of paper that shows what comes with the kit, and a "scan me" bar code to get the video instructions. Yeah, I did not do that.
2. The charger itself, while nice, WILL NOT work with some phone cases with the pad in place. Now let me explain. I have an iPhone 17 Pro Max. Yeah, the big boy. I also have one of those super rugged military-style protection cases with a MAGsafe magnet and tilt feature. Ok understandably, all that case may not work well with this. But wait! it does....just without the pad overlay being there. So, as I said, not too bad. It still works, I just took the pad up.
So, a couple of things for the install. Getting the center console cover up is not bad, just have some pry tools handy. Watch taking the itty bitty tiny flat screws out of the shifter handle. They are a pain in the #!@@! to get to and take out. Of course, they are shallow screws, so before you know it, it will fall out and dive deep into the abyss of where no screw returns. The rest is not so bad. Oh yeah, you need to be in neutral, so you need to unplug the shifter cables, so you will get the CHIME...CHIMMING away for the job. Huzzah...
Overall, I'll give it a thumbs up in material and build. Now I have not tried charging on it, but I will be heading to Tennessee Tuesday morning, so I will get a good chance to test it out. I'll come back and say how it performs.
A couple of pics with it on and off. The top cover is not on, I'll keep it in the glove box.
Thank your for the order! If your center console area matches the one below, it will definitely fit.
Thanks for sharing! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.Just installed this . Took me maybe 1/2 hr fairly easy to install. Only hard part is the 2 small screws that are in the shifter like previous poster mentioned.
