Description
This is an insert I designed for my Ford Focus to have a wireless charger, this uses the center console which I never used anyways. This uses a specific list of parts which is listed below. I created a bunch of top tray inserts, one for the RS, one for ST, one unlabeled, and one without the fan at all (much simpler install). I preferred to run a cooling fan as wireless charging does generate heat and I didn't want to cook my phone in there. It didn't move a ton of air, but it did help the temperatures a bit. I have included a few pictures of how it should be assembled. Unfortunately I sold both the car and original charger before I thought to take pictures of it. I did include the two pictures I had of it before I sold it. The screws for the fan come included with the fan. And the Binding Screws below are to hold on the circuit board with the spacers. Everything else is super glued together. All files are labeled with what you should print them in. The TPU insert is to hold your phone up against the charger since its all vertical. Very important to print this in TPU or you won't be able to get a phone down in there.
Insert Without Fan:
Inbay Universal Aftermarket Wireless Charging Pad (VERY important to get the right one, they sell two, I got mine from USP Motorsports)
