Caution: This procedure is only compatible with vehicles that have a full center console without a factory wireless phone charger.

Rear Center Console Disassembly

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. The top portion of the panel clips release upwards, therefore, you need to pry upwards.

Installing Wire Harness

Step 1: Locate this brown plug and gray connector for the cigarette lighter outlet. This is found on the rear of the console on the backside of 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 Boost Auto Parts wire harness.

Step 3: Utilizing the new gray connector on the harness, connect it to the factory cigarette lighter plug. Note the new gray connector is now in place of the old gray connector.

Mounting Charger

Step 1: Using a flat ended tool pry the plastic cover from the underside of the console lid. Once removed, set the panel to the side.

Step 2: Remove the original console mat.

Step 3: Utilizing a 1/2” drill bit, create a hole at a 45 degree angle as shown here. This will need to be on the side closest to the front of the truck on the left.

Step 4: Remove these four T15 screws from the center console. These screws can be discarded.

Step 5: Place your new wireless charger down on the center console. Make sure that the wire from the charger is guided through the hole. The buttons on the charger will face the rear of the vehicle.

Step 6: Utilizing the included four screws install them into the wireless charger.

Notice: Over tightening the screws can damage the charging unit. It’s recommended to only use hand tools to prevent over torquing the screws.

Routing Wire Harness

Step 1: With the console lid lifted up, grab the harness from the rear of the console. Feed the small connector end of the harness through gab under the hinge. The wire needs to go under the hinge, otherwise the harness will be damaged.

Step 2: Connect the small connector to the wireless charger.

Step 3: Reinstall the console lid trim panel. Tuck the wire harness to the same side that the wire comes through the hinge. Be careful not to pinch the wire harness.

Step 4: At the rear of the console, tuck all the extra wire in before reinstalling the rear trim panel. The panel must be installed from the top down.

Step 5: Reinstall the four T15 bolts from the inside of the rear console tray.

Step 6: Place the rubber mat back in once the bolts are installed.

Step 7: Place the new rubber mat down on the charger.

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.

Charging Statues

Actively Charging:
Any time that a phone is charging there will be a solid blue indicator light present.

Flashing Red Light :
A red flashing light indicates that an item near the charger is not compatible with wireless charging.

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 than 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 down.
Flashing Red Light:
This indicates that the object on the mat is not compatible for wireless charging.
