MagSafe charger location

[scraynes]

Have any of you come up with a neat install location for a MagSafe charger. I’m trying to avoid trailing wires and blocking the air vents. T6.1 dashboard.

My MagSafe phone holder is in the air vent on the right of the steering wheel. Mine is not a charger but they do a version that is. I chose to run a cable from one of the USB C sockets. Didn’t want my phone on charge all the time it’s mounted. Looks OK with very little cable showing.

3m stuck on, great spot you do see bit of wiring.
Didn’t want phone in front of vent so good solution.

I just use a brodit mount and a short usb c to c and usb c to lightning cable to reach whatever phone is in the charger. I’ve messed with wireless CarPlay in previous cars and it’s slow, clunky and doesn’t support hi-res audio so I’ve stuck with wired. The brodit stuff is excellent quality but expensive but you soon forget about the cost as it just works.

When I was looking for a solution, I remember seeing someone on another forum with a MagSafe charging solution.
I tried posting a link but it didn’t work. Photo credit to OP.

It was a kkm MagSafe charger from
Amazon plus brodit clip.

Thanks for the replies. I’ve gone with a MagSafe mount which isn’t wired (take the point that phone doesn’t always need to be on charge), which sticks to top of dash. Then wire to usb c for power.

Doesn’t look like it will fit a right hand drive, or will it?

I don’t think so as it’s shaped for lhd models. I looked at this previously and was about to buy when I noticed the shape.

This requires a quad lock case but sits in a perfect location for me. Ignore the 12v cig cable for my Dometic CFX12.

I'd really like to 3D print something that will sit at the base of the centre cubby and hold a MagSafe puck for charging on the move while using CarPlay, I'd want to combine this with moving to wireless CarPlay as well (T6) so need to do some searching first.

I'd buy one from you, if it didn't foul the cupholder
