Factory has the example harness. Still waiting on cost and production time.

I won't be making these... I ended up spending 1.5 hours making two.... The pins on these molex connectors are small.

@Sojhinn how did the new harness work out?

 

[Sojhinn]

Samples I made are working great. Got the factory sample and haven't been able to meet up with my gen2 tester. I will be doing that today. As long as it works I'll put in the order.

Factory states 15-20 days for manufacturing.

Hey @Sojhinn,

Just circling back on this. How did your harness work with the tester vehicle? Also was wondering since the MagSafe chargers sit on top of the factory charger. Does that cause any issues? Meaning does the factory charger always stay on since a charger and a phone is on top of it?

Yes. Harnesses were supposed to be done last week. But were delayed to hopefully this week.

All the tester vehicles have had success with the system. No issues with the OEM charger or nfc reader.

Harnesses are being shipped tomorrow to us. Should be a week to receive them. Also anyone who has ordered a gen2 previously will receive the harness and usb step downs.

 

[Sojhinn]

Harnesses are finally in. We will be sending these out to all Gen2 Topocharge owners, and start sending them out to anyone who has an order in with us.

I need to make the install video, (this is harder as I don't have a Gen2) working on getting a vehicle to me to do that this week.

Thanks for all the work to get the harnesses made and tested. Looking forward to getting it!

Found someone willing to let me film and do the install. Will be doing that today, and making the video this weekend.

Looks great!

I just want to verify a few things.

1. This does NOT use any of the USB-C ports in the storage box. I have one of those used for my camera storage and want to reserve the other for future use.
2. There is some sort of magnet(magsafe, etc.) or other system to prevent the phone from sliding off the charger when cornering, stopping hard, etc.
3. This supports charging 2 phones at the same time.

Thanks!

1) Correct. We now add two USB ports under the frame. (Watch the youtube install video if confused)

2) We utilize qi2 pucks for charging, these act identical to magsafe pucks and will lock your phone in place.

3) Yup. Supports two charging at once.

Yahoo! Looking forward to getting the harness so I can finally do my install. Any idea when they will ship?
