Just became aware of this handy upgrade to install wireless charging for Broncos without the factory option via the Lux package (no affiliation)


If anyone has installed this I would like to hear your feedback.

Very interesting! I’ve seen people adding wireless chargers on top of that storage space but didn’t think about adding one underneath

That's a terrible idea, when do we start?

I hope it's better than the Ford one. That one overheats my phone if I leave it on there for any length of time.

I ordered mine and it showed up yesterday. It’s installed and I used it for a 400 mile road trip today. Worked great. Kept my iPhone all juiced up as it was wireless synced for CarPlay and using maps for navigation.

Same thing on my wife’s escape. It got so hot so fast it shut off my iPhone

I have the built in wireless charging and don’t use it. When I did any time the phone shifted at all it stopped charging, and since you don’t get a notification you can drive for hours and end up with no charge. I also don’t like having my phone hidden away and laying flat where signal reception is lowered.
So I installed one of the rail mount things and added a standard MagSafe charger to is which works fine. Mine came from the Buck your Bronco site. Photos attached. LINK here
On my wife’s side I added a vent mounted wireless charger from Amazon. LINK Here They also sell things called “Halo” for adding to the outside of your case more metal surface for magnetic attaching.

Good luck deciding.

I have the Lux package one and the first time I used it the phone got so hot it shut down.

Darn! I was hoping that the newer phone wouldn't have the issue!
