Where’s the Wireless Charger?

[DonaldD]

I can’t find the wireless charger. There are 4 or 5 spots on the dash and center console, but the manual doesn’t show it.

It’s on the left hand side of the bronze tray under the dash

Do you know the wireless charger part number so I can install it myself?

 

[MikeyG]

The wireless charger is only available in the lariat.

Isn't the wireless charger a Lux package only option? So is it available only on the Lariat and then Lux package needs to be optioned as well correct?

I think it is like $500 or something insane

Nah, "only" $265 MSRP... That doesn't include wiring, trim, etc. as needed/desired.

(Yes, that's still very absurd. Especially as it doesn't work very well.)

As noted the factory charger isn't well liked. I'd try Amazon, dozens to choose from.

Theres a video on Youtube about a guy installing one for less than $50 even with a fuse of it's own. Search for it. Pretty cool vid.

The wireless charger in my Mav is useless. Phone looses charge when on the charger. I have the dongle and have to plug in anyway.

This is great, and not to pick on anyone, just having a chuckle... But..

OP asks a question that is answered in the manual, or, if one googles ''ford maverick wireless charger'' there are dozens of photos showing the location.

Then you have a few people giving the same answer (and additional photos) after the first reply pretty much had it taken care of.

Then you have someone asking for the part number, which is also easily found in 3 seconds by googling ''ford maverick wireless charger part number''- and obviously nobody has it memorized so dude is just asking someone else to look it up for him.

Then you have people telling OP that the charger is only available on the Lariat trim, even though it is plain to see that OP clearly has a Lariat based on his profile box.

Then you have someone erroneously saying the charger has an ''insane'' price tag of $500, which is actually so wrong that it is more than double the real price.

Eventually there are a couple useful comments about how unusefull the charger is, and good alternatives.

Then there is this smartass, but not meant to be taken too seriously, comment by me.

I have a Apple phone so the wireless charging is useless with Apple car play requiring the phone to be plugged in. This constant plug in does not allow the phone to discharge before recharging. if it only used blue tooth for connectivity. However don’t blame Ford this is a Apple requirement. Had I known I would have purchased the Galaxy phone Which connects via Bluetooth.
Apple sucks because the cord is always in the way Of the cup holders sand the council. I have also found out the wireless charger is affected by your protective case and other factors. Over all a poor ergonomic design in my opinion.

Well said. I spent about 8 hours in the cab with the owners manual trying to understand all the technology the manual is confusing because you have two menus. 1 is the dash and 2 is the center screen. It took a little while but I figured it all out. I found the interactive owners manual very useful on my I pad to locate subjects the fastest. The other problem is some items are in multiple locations in the owners manual. Fun reading.
