  • If you find the center console Qi charger useless in your Toyota Highlander, I have decided to remove it to make more storage room. I decided to declutter the space by adding an organizer at the bottom along with a bigger tray to hold coins and other items.

    Thanks for making this great video. I hated that charger now it’s gone. 😊

    Had no idea it was that easy to remove those. That charger design and placement is probably the worst console usage I have ever seen in a vehicle. Thanks For the video.

      Agreed! It was a good idea but what were Toyota engineers thinking when it came time to apply proof of concept to real world situations. Did they not test the charger with focus groups and assume that people don't use phone cases? It's so much more spacious now!

    just purchased my new (used) 2022 Highlander. The Qi charger is useless. My iphone 14 does not charge reliably. with or without case. Part of the problem is the camera lenses but also the phone moves as I drive and disconnects the charging connection.
    Your video is the perfect answer to my problem.
    I especially like you video's detail . look forward to exploring your channel.

    Just bought a used 2021 Toyota Highlander and I love your channel. Many of the improvements you have made to your Highlander are things that I want to do. Really appreciate your video on removing the wireless charger from central console. I have order the dual wireless charger that is installed in the niche below the information center. Thanks for showing how to remove the worthless Toyota charger.

      LED lights in the console or under the seats are options. Maybe hardwiring a dash cam as well but honestly, I just use the USB or cigarette port that is there for all those accessories because I'm too lazy! lol

      @vietbubbletea  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @NORMAN OTT Here's the link below, I specifically got this because of the draw string at the bottom that many others don't have in order to secure the net to the center console so items don't slip through the back. I had to pop the back plastic trim off to feed the cord underneath then slap it back on to secure it in place.
