    I setup Wireless Charging for my Samsung Galaxy S3 and S4. It can be done with other phones too. No more plugging the Phone into charging cables and having that mess in the Cab.

    Pic 1 is where I placed the Charging Pad. I made a filler out of Foam and covered it in black cloth to make a flat surface. It's pretty much in stealth position and out of the way.

    Pic 2 is the foam ring you need to make so your Phone doesn't bounce around on the Pad for normal driving. It's glued to the Pad and works good up to medium size bumps.

    Pic 3 is the Charging Pad avail on NewEgg. It needs to be powered by a 2 Amp USB Port that you can buy just about everywhere for like $7 and it plugs right into either of your 12 volt sockets.

    Pic 4 is the Charging Receiver avail on NewEgg. You just take your case off and stick it on the two contacts that are made for Wireless Charging of most Samsung and other Brand phones. It does thicken the combined cover and Phone. So some covers may not fit.

    So far so good. No heat issues. Works great and does not interfere with Entune at all.
