I have a 2021 Laramie Crew Cab Ecodiesel with the 12" screen and I am looking to install the factory wireless phone charger, however, everything I have read says that the truck must be equipped with the factory CD player, which I do not have. I do have the full center console, aux power outlets and media hubs. In looking at the instructions, Step 23 shows a step "without CD player" (see below).
Has anyone successfully installed this upgrade in a truck that did not come equipped with the factory CD player? Who uses CD's now these days anyway! I just don't know why the instructions would say the CD player is a "must" when it could potentially be installed without it and goes on to show an installation step without it. Am I missing something? Thanks.




I also spent two hours trying to wrestle in the driver side Rugged rear wheelhouse liner without damaging the factory fender flare before I gave up and ripped it back out, but that is another story altogether. I'll try again once my patience has been restored, and I didn't even get to attempt the passenger side.
