Wireless Charger Mat Pad - aftermarket solution for SR5

[Kokorone]

In case you were bummed out like I was with the SR5 not coming with a wireless charger but with wireless CarPlay/Android Auto, its super easy to add it in for 25 bucks and 2 minutes of your time. Best part about this one is that its super slim, doesn't need a car plug adapter since its natively USB C, and its also MagSafe compatible so your phone will stick to it and not bounce around when you're driving.

This is what I bought from Amazon (took 12 hours to arrive)

And this is what it looks like out of the box and in the car.

Great solution thx for sharing that. The rubber color of the charging mat even matches the factory plastic part that it's sitting on.

Bookmarked for my SR5 ... when it arrives.

Been curious - how's the phone viewing angle when you have phone placed where the charging mat is?

When you're driving, can you glance down easily without having to shift eyes too much/long from the road?

The angle is right to be able to view notifications, but since it is sunk below the shifter its not like you can easily interact and unlock your phone

Thanks! It comes with a sticky magnetic pad to be applied to the back of the phone?

It doesn't come with anything to put on your phone but it has a magnet built into the charger so it sticks to your phone if its Magsafe compatible

Did you add double sided tape to the back of the pad so when you disconnect the phone the pad doesn't come with it?

The pad I ordered came with double sided tape.
