    Stock for now.. maybe
    There is someone on here making and selling pretty much the same thing. They make two different models for the 2nd gen... one for automatic one for manual transmission. The consoles are different.

    I'm sure if you search for '3d printed wireless charger for 2nd gen' you will find the thread

    I had that one you mention above and it failed terribly. Bought this Scosche version and haven't looked back. Use Code PRIME33 at checkout for 33% off.

    what are those?
    i just installed this and had a previous magnet on my phone, guess it is too strong, the whole unit lifts when you take the phone off... did you guys secure it with something to prevent this?

    Thanks for the shortcut, just installed mine last night. Funny how the instructions that come with it say to not drill the hole with the center console unit installed due to an airbag sensor in the area. I drilled slowly. :)
    Had a bit of an issue getting the 12V 'cigarette lighter' socket back in though, going to try and finish that up today.

    To revive an old thread...

    I installed one of these this past weekend. I wish I had found your pdf sooner! The unit I installed turned out to have a bad power cable. I could get 12V to the harness but nothing on the other side of the black box. I popped the box open and found that power died somewhere on the circuit board of the black scosche power box. I had to reassemble the dash without actually installing anything. :(

    I had a replacement shipped overnight. Will tackle this with your suggestions this weekend. :)

    Thank you!

    Anyone know where you can still get these? Can't find them in stock anywhere.

    I looked for a while a few months ago. They discontinued this one so the best you can hope for is a used one to pop up on Ebay or Amazon.

    Still looking for one? I found a place that has two. Purchasing one for myself. So they’ll still have one.

    Installed my Scosche charger. Truck looks a lot cleaner without any wires dangling. Cant really say it charges my phone but it sure keeps it from draining while its being used for music/bluetooth.

    Has anyone had any issues with the charger or their phone getting hot on long trips. Did a 5 hour round trip drive this past weekend and my phone got a little too warm where it stopped charging. Not sure if its cause of the scosche or the phone/case itself.

    Yea I get a bit of that too. For the most part it keeps the phone at the current battery level while I drive and use android auto, but it doesn't really increase the level.
