Adding Wireless Mobile Phone Charging

[Dacmlifer]

I was considering buying one of those charge things from Amazon that you plug into your phone and place on back of phone, that picks up the charging from charger but i didn't know if they were any good to hold a charge.

I have a cup mount wireless charger that closes automatically from amazing it’s def over 3v

Yea, I’m not sure I’d pay the dealer for it. I have it in my truck, it is nice that it is there but it is by no means a fast charge. I’d I was adding something because I didn’t have that I would do aftermarket and at least get a faster charge out of it. It’s a nice to have but not a nice to pay for IMHO.

Ha! Wrong perspective...I will try that tomorrow. It's much easier to pull the console than to get to the BCM. Thank you!

Did that work? Seems like a much easier option that the BCM.

I'm picking up a 2023 Ram Rebel 2500 this week. Has anyone added the OEM wireless charger? The dealership said that they don't have the code to do it on the Rebel.

Bulletpoint has a nice wireless setup with RAM specific mounts…a lot cheaper then retrofitting

I got my wireless charger installed the other day. What an absolute pain in the ass to install! That BCM plug was damn near impossible to connect to! The charger works great though and I'm happy I went through the effort!

I totally agree. I have the Ram wireless charger but installed the Bulletpoint mount which I like a ton better. Easier to drop the phone in for charging and I can use the phone for monitoring speed or EzLynk dashboards while driving, since it sits right where the dash is. No more looking down or wrestling the phone in and out of the holder.

I just installed the oem wireless charger on my ‘23 Bighorn. I tapped the orange/Blue wire in the harness at the back of the console and it does work.

Allow me to suggest a nice alternative. It only took me about 30 minutes from start to finish to install. Boost Auto Wireless Charger

I've thought about adding it, but I have to plug my phone in anyways for android auto. Kind of defeats the purpose.

That sucks. It’s really nice having the wireless charging and wireless car play. My previous truck had wires running everywhere.

If I didn't have wireless carplay I'd feel the same way.

I have the same one and can't keep the POS from flopping around and throwing the phone off. They should have added a top hook to keep the unit from flopping toward the rear of the truck.

I have definitely provided that feedback to the folks at Boost Auto. It probably wouldn’t hurt if you were to email them as well.

I “fixed” mine by cutting a small section of tough foam that I jam under the bottom of it. I had some extra sitting around from making a new kneeling pad for my race boat. It has been great ever since, and my phone no longer goes sailing off under moderate acceleration. Still a far easier and cheaper alternative to adding the stock wireless charger.

My son bought a 3D printer a few days ago. He found a "hook" file online today and printed this hook. It's not an exact product but it simply works. Took a few minutes to print the hook, a few minutes to check the height and a couple of minutes to cut the velcro and make it all stick. It works great! But yeah, the Mfr should be doing this, not us.
