2019 rear storage box (formerly wireless charging)

V8Addict · 10-02-2018, 09:55 AM

I noticed that the 2019 Camaro does not have the wireless charging pad behind the console, only a open storage box. Since I never use my charging pad, I was wondering if the new storage box can replace it without much modifications. Can always use more storage in the Camaro.

Correction: seems this is on a 2018

that is how the 1ss is, which is why most 1LEs are that way. but, a 2ss or 2ss 1le, or premium trim has the wireless charge.

The wireless charging pad is something I heard for several 2SS owners gripe about and say they'd rather have the storage space in place of it.

It is so small no current "flagship" smart phone will even fit anyways.

My iPhone X fits perfectly and it charges.

It's also in a pretty dumb location, IMO, behind the driver. Why would you ever want to place you phone in a location where you can't see it or move it for extended periods? Seems like a lot of trouble to save the 1 second it takes to plug it in.

I think a much nicer setup, although I doubt it will come to the 6th gen, would be wireless charging pad somewhere behind the gear lever with Wireless CarPlay.

You can buy the storage coin holder. Just takes removing about 8 screws and unhooking the wire harness for the wireless charging pad. I was thinking about trying to relocated the wireless charging piece in mine now that i have the coin holder/storage installed.

I got mine from replacement radios, but looks like they may have closed down their site. Part is under $40 I believe.

you dont need to see your stupid distracting phone while driving. Nor do you need to touch it at all. You have a much larger screen already on your dash that you can use to do everything you need to do while driving.

My 2019 ZL1 has one.

The wireless charger position in my opinion was the worst possible place for it. Lay it there and the first hard turn sends it flying. Oh wait, no one in a Camaro would ever make a hard turn.

Does anyone have the GM part number for the storage box?

I am pretty far from being considered ‘techy’.... but I plugged into android CarPlay, and stowed my phone on the charging shelf.... I love it. I have pandora, maps, phone at my finger tips on the screen.
I have a charge pad in my Yukon Denali also, but I think you need a pretty new phone for it to work....

Bought one of these on Amazon. it was made to go next to the seat, but I trimmed the back plate down to make it narrower with a utility knife and put between the back of the charging tray and the front of the back seat. Holds my iPhone 10 perfectly and a small cubby for mints, change, gum, etc. Also drilled hole in bottom and ran the iPhone cable from the console down behind the drivers seat under the trim, because I constantly use CarPlay anyway.
