Caution:
This procedure is only compatible with vehicles that have a wireless phone charger built into the console from the factory.
**Remo ving Rear Trim
**
Step 1: Remove the rubber insert from the back of the center console.
Step 2: Working on the same rear trim piece, remove the four T15 bolts from the inside of that tray.
Step 3: Afterwards, using a trim tool separate the rear trim panel by prying it upwards gently. Work along the seam to protect the plastic cup holders. The top portion of the panel clips release upwards, therefore, you need to pry upwards.
Installing Harness
Step 1: Locate this brown plug and gray connector for the cigarette lighter outlet. This is found on therear of the console under the trim panel that was just removed. Remove the gray connector by pressing the release tab inwards.
Step 2: Take the gray connector that was just removed and plug it into the black cylindrical plug on the provided wire harness.
Step 3: Utilizing the new gray connector on the provided wire harness, connect it to the factory brown plug. Note the new gray connector is now in place of the old gray connector.
Step 4: Open and lift the center console lid.
Step 5: The small 2 pin connector from the wire harness needs to be moved from the back of the console to the front of the console. Take the single connector end of the wire harness and feed it under the center console’s lid hinge.
Step
6: The wire harness needs to be below the console hinge to prevent the wires
from being pinched. Continue to run the harness under the hinge to make slack
for future steps.
Mounting Charger
Step 1: Using a flat ended tool pry the plastic cover from the underside of the console lid.
Step 2: Moving back the to underside of the console lid, locate the factory charging unit. To remove, disconnect the wiring attach and unscrew the four T15 bolts. The original wireless charger can be discarded.
Step 3: To remove the old phone charging mounting brackets, these seven T15 bolts need to be removed from the underside of the console lid.
Step 4: Pry the outer trim piece from the console with a trim tool. Wedge the tool between the outermost sides of the plastic trim piece to remove. Once removed pick up and discard the old rubber mat that rested below.
Step 5: Take the new Boost Auto Parts wireless charger and set the wire loom down into the console opening. This would leave the orientation of the chargers button and lights to be towards the rear of the vehicle. Fully set the charger down on the console.
Step 6: Reinsert the outer trim piece back on the console. Center both the wireless charger and the trim piece to ensure proper alignment.
Step 7: Holding the wireless charger to the lid, lift the console lid up to expose the underside. Reinstall the seven bolts to secure the charger to the console.
Notice: Over-tightening the screws can damage the charging unit. It’s
recommended to only use hand tools to prevent over-torquing the screws.
Step 8: Utilizing both wire harness provided connect the small two-pin black
connectors together.
Reassembling the Console
Step 1: Before reinstalling the trim panel, make sure to hold the excess wire up and over to the right. The wiring harness needs to come out through the small gap by the right lid hinge.
Step 2: Reinstall the under-lid trim panel, and verify that the wire harness is aligned with the gap at the bottom right.
Step 3: Back to the rear of the console, take the excess wiring harness and neatly bundle it together. Make sure to apply tension to either ends of the harness as it can be damaged.
Step 4: While holding the wiring up and away from the sides, grab the rear trim piece. Carefully reinstall the trim panel, keeping the wire harness tucked into the panel at the same time. Note the entire harness should be inside the console leaving no hanging out.
Step 5: Reinstall these four T15 bolts.
Step 6: Place the rubber tray back into the rear of the console.
Turning Charger Off & On
When looking at the charger, the small circle in the middle is a press-in-
style button. It sits slightly lower than the charger mat to prevent
unintentional activations. This button is the only way to turn the charger
off/on and is used to change modes.
Hold the button down for three seconds to turn the charger on or off. The red
light will flash slowly before remaining off indicating the charger is
off.
Charge Statues
Charging: No matter what mode the wireless charger is set to the charging light will always illuminate blue. If the light is not present while a phone is on it than it is not actively charging.
Fully Charged: A solid green light indicates that the phone currently on the mat is fully charged.
Modes of Operation
Our wireless charger has two options for the “resting” light indicator. Press
the center button once to change between modes. The different charger modes
have no affect on the blue charging light.
Mode 1: The red resting light, shown here, will come on and stay on
anytime there isn’t a phone actively charging. Mode 2: In mode two there
will be no red resting light at all times.
User Info
Powering Off & On: Holding the sub flush button for three seconds will
power the charger on or off.
Solid Blue: No matter what mode the wireless charger is set to the
charging light will always illuminate blue. If the light is not present while
a phone is on it then it is not actively charging.
Flashing Blue Light: This indicates that the phone is charging but the
connection between the two is weak. Move the phone close to the center of the
charger.
Flashing Red & Blue lights: Any time the charger is experiencing an error
it will flash both lights. Remove any items near the charger, and replace the
phone.
Flashing Red Light: This indicates that the object on the mat is not
compatible for wireless charging.
