People I have a 19 Dodge Ram Rebel I have installed the new OEM wireless charging pad per instructions I put one wire to pin 46 and the other wire and pin 9 on the interior fuse box. I got it all back together and it does not work any ideas? Can I wire that to a hot wire

Have you cycled the ignition yet? Mine did not work until I had done that. Thought I had wired something wrong at first. LOL

Happy Ram Owner
a lot of things on these trucks need a sales code programed into the computer
I wonder if that is what the issue is here

A sales code is not needed for this item.

Pretty sure the charger has to see a certain amount of voltage before it engages/turns on. I've installed two of these and they did not start working until the truck had been started or taken for a test drive.

Did you program it with AlfaODB? You have to enable it.

There is no programming needed to activate the wireless chargers. The sales code at the end of the instructions only updates the truck to having "dealer installed equipment".

Cool, I know there is a setting in AlfaODB for it so I guess it isn't used.

You're just hooking the charger to existing wiring that is live when the truck is on. So, programming isn't needed.
I have pulled the console out unplug the unit I have 14.5 V on the hot wire I have full continuity on the ground wire and I have full continuity on the third wire going to the b c m. So full power and continuity all the way to the plug I plug it in I get nothing I've driven it almost a hundred miles and I still have nothing

What phone are you using it with? Did you remove any cases? Can you show pics of the phone on it?

The only other thing I can think of is it does need programming with AlfaODB. Or, it is broken. I do know that my phone has to be sideways and pushed all the way down into the holder or it won't work. It also needs to be as far left as possible. I have an S20 Ultra.

Did you mean pin 45 and 9? Also were there existing wires there or did you have to splice in?
Wire 45 should be orange and 9 should be pink if they are populated.

Multiple members on this forum have installed the charger and have not added the sales code. It can be added, but it is not necessary.
