Added Wireless QI Charger to my 2020 Ram Bighorn

[Maverick4]

So I had a chance to play with it in my truck and I'm experiencing the same thing Maverick and Moparleo are. In USB ports 1, 2, and 3 it will connect, lose connection, blink, reestablish connection and repeat. It works like it should in the console USB port and port #4. I'm wondering if that's part of the Carplay issues I have (it sometimes loses carplay connection for no reason). But not sure if that's something that is reportable.

I am sorry that you're having problems as well. But I've been researching on here and curious, do you think that this issue we seem to be having could be related to having a bad media hub? I've seen where others have had similar issues and reported this being the cause.

I did something similar a few years back to mine. I went a different route though because I wanted everything hidden and I rarely use that phone holder that RAM provided.

The power comes from the 110v outlet inside the console and the coin tray goes right over the top of the Qi charger that I disassembled.

That may be the issue as I have no problems and I tried two different chargers.

I added this to mine today using Command strips and it works perfectly. Thank you for the idea!

Do you have any more picture of this install that you could share? I really like the idea of have all of it hidden!

Added wireless Qi charging for $30

So the mopar kit is $250 and requires coding from the dealer. Not to mention taking the console apart. Something that I wanted to avoid if at all possible. Picked up a quick charging capable Qi charger for $30 at Target instead. Pictures speak for themselves, but a few notes: - USB ports on...

I originally was looking to add the Mopar Wireless Charging Accessory to my 2020 Bighorn but did not feel like having the dealer enable it for me. The install seemed pretty straight forward but having to pay the dealer to program the truck so it could be used just didn't sit well with me.

So i thought about another way of adding QI Wireless Charging.

I picked up one of these pads from Amazon (CHOETECH Wireless Charger, 10W Max Qi-Certified Fast Wireless Charging Pad)

One of these cables from Amazon (Right Angle Micro USB Cable Short,SUNGUY Reversible 1FT 3pack 90 Degree)

Some 3M Molding Tape

For the installation, i taped the charging pad so that when i place my phone in the phone holder, i could still have a cable attached to the phone.

Here are some pictures of the unit installed.

All in, it cost me about $23 for the solution. It may not be as clean looking as the OEM solution, but it works

Have you ever had an issue with getting an error on your screen from the charging pad? I bought the same unit and once it’s connected it immediately causes non compatibility errors on the Uconnect12.

Can you tell me which charger you used? I used the exact same one as OP and keep getting errors on the screen if it’s plugged into the media hub.

I plugged it into a USB charging block and used the 110v outlet in the bottom of the console.
