Default Console tray Wireless Charging....

Pretty sweet, except Fords is bending you Way Over, on the Price 10 fold! There has to be a Cheap way for someone to mod a Wireless Charging Pad into there console tray!

That is pretty cool, but that's only a $15 charger glued in there. It still has the cigarette lighter end! You can make this easily and cheap!

I mean hell, I have 3 Samsung wireless charging docks I got for free. I could cut a round 3" hole in my tray, secure the charging pad to the underside of the tray, plug in the micro usb to the charger, and standard usb to a cig. Lighter adapter, and bingo...

A whole hell of alot cheaper, than Fords version!

I just happened to stumble upon it, while searching for a non flow through console on ebay. For a buddies 2013 F-150!

Be sure to Post Pics, when you complete it...

It is literally the only thing I am jealous of in my friends 2016 Silverado is the wireless charging on the console cover....

I can say that I would not like having to put the phone inside the console to do this. I wish there was a way to add it as part of the lid on the storage compartment where you program the key....

Agreed, it's one of the few things I actually liked about the 16 Sierra I looked at! Ok, the only thing.

I do wish Ford, made a console lid, with built in wireless charging! That would be worth buying...

I just searched for it and couldn't find it for the life of me. Do you happen to have a link to it?
