Cj Lancer Centre console wireless charging options

[adamhumphrey]

I have a couple of ideas is to somehow get a wireless charging pad into the centre console area under the lid for a phone. I am trying to remove all of the stuff from the pillar. One day down the track I would like to get some gauges and mount them into a pillar mount.

My idea - I found some console trays on Aliexpress for different models Pajero/Outlander, maybe mount a wireless charger from underneath and job done. The hardest bit is finding something that fits.

I also need to try and find a centre console box that has a power socket. My Evo didn't get the socket. Maybe due to heated seats. I need to find the part number for the console bin with provisions for a socket. I found part number 8011A223, I am unsure if this is the one with the socket. Then either mount an aftermarket USB that powers or a 12 socket with an adaptor. I think the USB is neater.

I did think about using bits from an outlander about the same age and swapping out bits from the large lid console (the one that has two levers and a top lid that flips down. Unsure if that could even work. I don't want to lose the Evo leather Console lid.

I like your idea,the tray is a really neat fit.Should be able to pick up a box from one of our local wreckers and than hack it up to your hearts content

Tray looks cool, looking forward to your progress

The console tray I have shown is for an outlander. The lancer needs one that’s a little shorter and more square. I have sent a few messages to some sellers from AliExpress to try and get some that will fit. The Pajero one is more square but I don’t know dimensions.

this might come in handy for the centre console

i have bought a difference one im yet to wire up
if you look on the centre console of the NA on the driver side back behind the hand brake, there is a small rectangular piece
i was going to drill a hole in there and mount a dual USB charger adaptor there
still havent got round to it yet
busy on other projects

I have checked out a few catalog sites including that one. The diagrams are so hard to read sometimes. I remember in my wife’s vrx there was a power socket within the centre console. Most likely in that location you described. I think they omitted it in my evo due to having to power the heated seats from the similar location. I am thinking of maybe grabbing that outlander console tray and cutting off part of it. It will be at the back anyway and I need somewhere to run the wire for the wireless charger anyway so may not be too bad. I think the double lid outlander console is totally different on the top and is also longer so I might strike this idea off. If I can get a console tray to fit in there then I’ll find a suitable wireless charging pad to sit in there. Hooking up to power may not even need a usb socket I can just drill a small hole and just hard wire to an accessory power.

Good thinking honestly, it's an idea I certainly haven't heard before

interesting stuff, unfortunately i cant do this with my phone - bloody thing is huge and wouldn't fit in a tray in there!

[adamhumphrey]

I just got some messages back from aliexpress, no go on the console tray they don't make one suitable. Back to the drawing board.

been looking at something like this.

looks like it might be trimmable, so i could make it fit to sit just above my centre console cupholder tray.

Thanks that looks awesome. I actually sat my phone in the console and it's too large for the centre console. I should have tried doing this before I thought about getting a console tray. This is most likely why they don't make one and sell it on Aliexpress, I think it will be just continuing to use the windscreen mount.

Damn, it's these kinds of things that make me realise how handy a 3D printer can be. These ideas are neat!
I especially love the centre console organiser.
