Hi all

I've got a big honking Samsung S22 Ultra which does not fit in the cupbut holder. Normally I rest it in the center console cubby behind the seats - It doesn't really fit but it seems to be secure enough. It's a little inconvenient back there but I've got wireless android auto so I rarely have to access the phone while driving. The battery is pretty big but wireless android auto really kills it so I was thinking of rigging up some kind of wireless charging solution. Anybody done anything like this yet? A pedestal charger would make the most sense I think. I don't need a mount to actually see the phone as I want to still keep it in the center back cubby.

Thanks

Exactly this. I don't even bother taking my phone out of my pocket when using android auto. If I have to plug it in to charge, I just toss it on the package shelf behind the passenger seat. Some folks might call them back seats, I just call them package shelves.

As I mentioned before, wireless Android Auto destroys your battery, so if you're going on a trip for more than an hour or so you're going to want to charge. I purchased this item on Amazon and it seems to fit the bill. Testing it now but I think it works fairly well. Becasue you can bend it down almost horizontal, the console tray's walls keep the phone from flying off the charger.

I bought these on Amazon and they are perfect. Two for $15. Strong Velcro. I put them on the carpet right on driver and passenger console. They match the seats/stitching perfect. I don’t have pic from in car but will take one tomorrow. Everybody that gets in the car thinks they are from the factory.

What are you using to upload images? I don't wanna pay Photobucket and Google doesn't provide a thumbnail image.

Thanks.

Doesn't address the OP's main question/issue of being able to charge his phone, though.

That being said, I have the same set, and used a red fabric pen to dye the stitching to match my interior w/ the Adrenaline Red seat package. It's not a 100% perfect color match but close enough for where it is (it is less orange looking than in the picture).

Works well for me. Holds the phone + a drink and doesn't take up too much space for the passenger.

I just don't like the feeling of something bulging in my right pocket when I am driving.

Personally, switching to a Z Flip3 solved my issue. When folded, it fits nicely in the little storage in front of the rear seat.

I know you can retrofit a wireless charger in the rear centre storage area, but it is supposedly too small for most modern phones. While my phone fits in there, I just don't feel like baking my phone with a wireless charger without some kind of cooling.
