WIreless Dual PhoneCharger Aftermarket Install!!!

My TRD 25’ did not come with the optional wireless phone charger so decided to grab one I found online at BeatSonicUSA Link below. It took me about an hour to do the install. It Actually took longer as I installed two mods at the same time adding a sound amplifier to the JBL sound system, which by the way sounds way better now! That will be another discussion. Anyways, the install was pretty simple and there is a step by step video that can walk you through every step. I was nervous about ripping apart the center console and head unit but it was easier than I expected. I would have done this during the day but I have a road trip coming come and didn’t want to be pinched on time so started around 10p and finished putting all the parts back close to midnight. Here are some pics below and the link. Enjoy!

I’ve been thinking about doing both of these. Thanks for the feedback.

 

Great work but ... am I the only one wondering why you decided to still keep that (ugly) regulatory 'data transmission' sticker?

 

Yeah, your right. Figured I get the complicated stuff out the way and then do the easy stuff later. lol

 

I wonder if this after market one works better than the one from the factory. Mine will charge for a second or two and then stops. The only way it works is if I remove the case (I've tried several cases too but none work). Do these aftermarket one have more power?

 

This is why I decided to with this brand after digging around. I was doing research on the OEM charger and other people had similar issues where the charging was NOT consistent. Especially if you were going over bumps or when the phone would move or slide. Is the OEM platform plastic? After I did the install, I put two phones together and charged pretty well. Also, they have a rubber foam padding that helps prevent sliding or abrupt movements. I am going on a trip this weekend so I will see how it holds up on the road or over bumps. I will let you know... Stay tuned!

 

Looks good!

Do you know if the version you installed has a fan on the back? I read somewhere that they were coming out with a new version that included a fan...holding off on doing this mod until they release that version. I guess the oem single charger has a fan on the back, so wanting the same.

 

You know what... I did not even think to check. I will be getting back there again anyways to install a Binize streaming AI box and mount it inside the console once I get one.

 

Gotcha. Yeah, will be curious to hear about your experiences on your trip. I have an iPhone 13 and the camera sticks out a good bit, which I think makes the charger lose connection with the slightest bump. It's basically unusable, because even if you take the cover off it still slides around a lot.

 

Great install OP! I am sure that kit and the others I've seen on the forum work well. I wanted to create my own and did combo of designed and 3D printed some parts and used a Belkin mag charger for my magsafe case on my iPhone. It works great and charges fast.

 

Good eye on the TUNDRA engrave. Yes, I had some fun with this one lol

 

I think it’s a crime that vehicle mfgs don’t use MagSafe.

I use an otterbox symmetry series case on the 16pro and mine charges fine in the 2025. It’s not a fast charger at all, but it charges slowly while using CarPlay/nav

 

Homie, how did the charger do on your trip?

 

Are you sharing the file for printing?

 

I wanna hear more about this amp install!

 

Thank you for sharing this. I have the beatsonic amp, but I didn’t know they had a phone charger. I love the amp.

 

It’s not theirs, they just sell it along with another vendor, slee.

 

Ah, thanks. That makes more sense.

 

How are you liking the charger?

 

Worth it.

 

I bought both (amp and charger) units from the best sonic site. So far the wireless charger has been great! The charger does not cut off and stays intact. I took it for a drive to cali and through some bumpy roads and charge was continuous with no issues. Had two phones simultaneously and no issues either!

Here is the link for the amp. There’s tons on YouTube for the install and reviews

Im still wondering why the OEM charger ya say doesn't charge fast. I can get 1% a minute. I do have to have the phone lifted up a little from the little lip.
Either way having two chargers is still not bad.

 

Let me get my files together. I see you have the 1794, and those have the vertical cup holder layout right? I have the side-by-side, or horizontal layout with the larger cavity where the wireless charger would be. My print would only work for the type I have. Unless you had the AJT downgrade kit, it wouldn't work.

 

i was all set to order the dual charger from beatsonic. until i went to their site and saw that they had increased the price from $199 to $279. i was having a hard time justifying $199. new price totally killed it for me.

 

I'll DM you a picture of what I have.

 

Yeah, same here! Instead I purchased the BulletPoint RubiGrid® 2022+ Toyota Tundra & 2023+ Toyota Sequoia Dash Mount Phone + Device Holder × 1 MagSafe Wireless Charger for a little over $100
