Thanks for the part number. Quick investigation shows that the OEM inductive charging tray is anywhere from $200-300 and looks like the install requires complete removal of the adapter tray and pass through wiring (I could be wrong).

I invested in this cheap solution before I saw your post. Found this $15 wireless charging pad (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and this $10 4.8A USB adapter (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1) None are affiliate links.

For install, I removed the "dummy" snap-in adapter, put the charging pad down along with a short 6-inch micro USB cable and here are the results. Overall inexpensive solution that I don't think looks too bad. I'm able to put my phone on (Iphone X) and still close the center arm rest while it's charging. I considered cutting up the "dummy" adapter cover to cover up the OEM plugs but I'm fine with the look right now. Might consider some velcro strips underneath the charging pad but haven't had the pad or phone come loose under standard driving conditions.

Overall, not too shabby for $25.
