    Especially with android auto, I'll never use the qi charger. I've seen multiple threads about just disconnecting the switch to use that slot but I'm wondering if anyone has completely repurposed the power to something else? I'd like to use that power for a gmrs radio or something of the like. Thanks!

    There is plenty of power floating around any vehicle whether you "steal" from this circuit or another, doesn't make a lot of difference. What is generating the specific question? Just that you will never use it like me. I like the idea of using the switch position for something else. I do not know just what power (fuse amperage) is dedicated to the QI.
