This is a quality piece, first of all. Honestly, I bought it for the looks. It really fits with the vehicle and adds to the overall interior appeal. I have a dash mount charger, so the only person that uses this one is my wife, but admittedly this one does connect more often than the OEM, and is more predictable.

As for the install, I got it done yesterday in less than 20 minutes. Their YT video really walks you through the process well. The only issue I had was with sliding the top plate over after you get it started towards the passenger side. The issue is that there are two adhesive circles under the top plate that are designed to adhere to the charging pucks. First time around I must have inadvertently pressed down in that area too early, so when trying to slide the top plate towards the driver side it gave a ton of resistance. Once I figured that out I pulled the top plate off and tried again.

I give it a 9/10. Only improvement I would've liked is a premium liner in the granola bowl. In it's current form it looks and feels a bit cheap. But I'm sure this is something they can address at some point. But the overall look speaks for itself. Go get one!

I 100% agree. I have had my truck for 4 weeks and this charger was added on day 2. It works well and feels like it belongs there. I use it every day. Also the peeps at s00nish are great people.

Ordered one last night and agree, my wife is probably the only one who will wind up using it. But who knows. The OE one is useless with an iPhone 14 Pro, so maybe this will get used once we have something that actually works.

how powerful is the charger? I got one of the early aftermarket R1T MagSafe chargers and I've just given up on it because it's such a weak power flow. Even sitting there for 25-30 minutes, my phone barely adds 5% charge.

I honestly don't use it for my phone, as I have a dash mounted quick charger. But I'll test it this weekend and let you know.

I wish s00nish or someone would make something like this that just deletes the chargers and provides some cupholders. Maybe even something that includes removal of the pull-out cupholders to make room for deeper regular cupholders. I'd buy and install...

I got 9.6 watts on my iPhone 14 Pro using this hardwired setup. I think you can get up to 15 watts depending on charge level and temperature - assuming perfect alignment.

Great last pic!
Everyone is always interested in looking behind the curtain right? Hopefully I didn't violate any community guidelines.

Deal breaker for me - looks cool, but I can't stand the look of 3D printed plastic. If they can come up with some kind of liner, I'm 100% in.
