You don’t have to remove the shifter. You can just put the car on reverse while holding the brake, and undo the tray around the shifter knob (there plenty of cable underneath to lift this so it won’t be an issue to the car) and you will have enough space to pull out the charging tray… you can then put the car in park again and install everything. To close it all, just put the car back in reverse to allow space to clip everything back. This way it’s much faster and simpler. The hardest thing is just the 12V plug because it’s very tight to remove out of the OEM one, once you do, everything else is extremely easy.
I just purchased a rav4 2021 XLE that doesn't come with the wireless charger. Definitely going to pick this up in the future! Thank you for the tutorial! You practically did this whole thing with one hand. Lol
Was a quick and easy install the model I ordered off of The link is slightly different than yours it doesn’t have an LED and I don’t hear fans however it does charge it looks great thanks for the video
@ Nazarettos - I just got my 2020 Rav4 and will be installing thins along with other stuff. Hey did you buy yo folding mirror kit from ebay ? There is someone selling it with instructions and it looks like their kit can work.
I received this mirror assembly from carfrimhome.com you can also go onto my video link and get discount. I now know how to plug it and make it work. Next week I'll be posting new video and it all should work.
If you have the charging pad do you still have to plug in the FireWire cable to use ApplePlay AND charge the phone or will it wireless connect to apple-play?
I think the lower trims RAV4 (like LE and XLE) only have Android Auto or Apple Carplay via a wired connection to the USB port. If you are charging wirelessly, you are not connecting to the USB port, so no Android Auto or Apple Carplay. It seems that unless the wireless charging connection is also behaving like a USB wire connection, I don't expect Android AUto or Apple Carplay from through that wired connection.
Has anyone installed one of these and had their airbag malfunction? I'm now getting an SRS System Airbag Malfunction notification on my dash and after taking it to the dealer, they blamed it on this. Just wondering if anyone else has run into this?
This has nothing to do with SRS system. It just connects to USB power. As you can see in the video. Check your seatbelt buckles, and check connects under the seat, it happened on my Honda that SRS malfunction. Also as you see data usb port is the same, so no this can not cause any SRS multifunctions at all. If and only if it cause problem that would be fuse if overpowered. Check under driver sea yellow connector and gray, disconnect battery terminals and reconnect those connectors under the seat. You probably had something under the seat that cause one of those connectors to be loose.
@@nazarettos6987 Thank you for the reply. I was thinking the same thing, but when I took it in to the dealership, they are claiming that the issue is due to the aftermarket charger and therefore they want to charge me for it. I was just curious if anyone else has run into this. I have a 2021 RAV4 and I've tried wiggling the wires under the seats, etc. and it still won't go away.
Just installed this. I upgraded to a radio with wireless CarPlay and it’s so smooth that plugging in to charge became annoying. Thanks. 🙏🏼

Glad I could help
Thank you for sharing this video. I bought one off of Amazon. Can't wait to install it :)
Works very well,I have been charging my Samsung S10 plus and it works.
Thank you for the video. I purchased this item on eBay and it looks nice. After watching your video I am ready to try and install it!
I love it,charges my big phone no problems.
Thanks for the video excellent presentation continue the good work

The car has three connectors. The big one remains unplugged??
@ Nazarettos do you know if the wireless pad will charge a phone with a case on? Thanks again for the video.
My Samsung S10 plus charges with case on it no problems.
is it possible to have the wireless charging pad off by default when you start the car?
You can’t have it off, I wish.
@@nazarettos6987 I was hoping there was a secret programmable option by long pressing the button or something. LOL. Thanks for confirmation.
Could you tell me which rav4 model in the video ? Thank you
I have 2019 XLE fwd. still using this charging pad, works great.
If you have the charging pad do you still have to plug in the FireWire cable to use ApplePlay AND charge the phone or will it wireless connect to apple-play?
It will not wirelessly connect to apple play. To charge the phone you can connect it to that Usb output or just charge wirelessly
Does androd/apple car-play still work?
Everything works as it should. I left the same connects and USB ports. Everything works.
@@nazarettos6987 Could you elaborate "You left the same connects and USB ports?" Do you have wireless audio now? Own a Rav4 2020 XSE
@@gavinerskine4320 wireless charger not wireless connection smh
You don’t need wireless charging when plugged into USB port - which is required for CarPlay.
It works in iphone 14 pro max??
I got iPhone 13 and it works perfectly fine
Thanks you excellent video!
So, can you just leave the little switch on all the time, as in the pad will not power up unless a phone is placed on it?
My charging pad is on when you start the car. It only charges when phone is detected. You can turn it off when you press the small round button.
I have a phone that requires 2A fast charging. Does the wireless pad provide this or is it only via the inbuilt USB port?
In the manual it says wireless charger at 9v/1.1A. I have Samsung S10Plus big phone and it charges pretty fast.
Is it safe to assume that if your phone is being charged wirelessly, the Android Auto or Apple Carplay is not accessible?
Why wouldn't it be accessible? Its just?a wireless charger,Toyota has them in higher trim models and everything works.
I think the lower trims RAV4 (like LE and XLE) only have Android Auto or Apple Carplay via a wired connection to the USB port.
If you are charging wirelessly, you are not connecting to the USB port, so no Android Auto or Apple Carplay.
It seems that unless the wireless charging connection is also behaving like a USB wire connection, I don't expect Android AUto or Apple Carplay from through that wired connection.
Does it fast charge??
No its not,it charges at 1.5 amp
Cigarette lighter is pretty stuck even when pushing at those spots. Any ideas?
I also struggled with it,make sure to push it inside. Also you can pull that little plastic latch on inside.
Finally came out :-) but ill be returning it as android auto/apple car play gets disabled with this upgrade.
How much was the wireless charging kit?
99.99$ Amazon sold by powerty-us

Have this drain your car battery?
No it works perfectly fine.

Everything was good until he said "you hear a little tiny fan buzzzz" =/
what the problems with me saying buzzz?
@@nazarettos6987 I just dont want a fan buzzing in the cabin... I know how they sound, especially the little ones
Made by China
And it works well.
