Pajero Owners Club of South Africa

One thing that always bothered me was finding a nice spot to put my cell phone. I used to use the silly pocket next to the business card holder but my new Note 5 proved too big and it kept falling out (what is this pocket meant for anyway ?).

My solution was to use a wireless charging plate to create an extended platform for phone to sit on - with added bonus of wireless charging.

Here is first attempt - no irreversible changes to car made yet: Then my lovely wife pointed out that the mat while supporting the phone perfectly looks like a cell phone, almost guaranteeing a broken window. In for a penny in for a pound - I then removed the rear of this plastic pocket - did it will a drill and file with radio out so the pad could sit further in. There is space behind this and all I did was pad the inside as per pic below (pad now painted black): Power for the pad I took from the rear of the cigarette charger plug in the center console - was easier to get to than the cigarette charger in the dash. I just used a normal usb car charger and its all hidden blow the cup holder area.
This is what it looks like now and I can even mostly close the flap to hide it and the phone if in a doggy area: Sorry no pics with phone in as used phone for pics

Nice work Tim, next job is the brackets install.

Clever - wish I had seen this post before I put my dash back together.....
