I used a bluetooth amp receiver to link to the audio system.

I use LED light dimming stickers from Amazon, they�re very effective.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

It's a bummer because it worked perfectly as a charger for my phone.
I am admittedly a bit of an car interior crazy person. :-)
As a result, the usb chargers with blue illumination just does not work for me with the various orange backlit dash items.
However, I'm having a difficult time finding a charger with either orange illumination or no illumination - any suggestions? Thanks!
I've been wondering if there is a wireless charger that would fit in/under the cubbies in the center console. That would be ideal since you could connect it to switched power.
Many will, your phone's not that thick. The problem I find is that modern phones are all too damn tall, they barely fit lengthwise in the cubby so you don't have much room for fingers to dig it out. I'm working on something halfway between the stock center console and a GT3 console delete for this reason. The hazard-light-switch Magsafe mount is super cool, but I prefer having my phone lower as I'm normally not looking at it.
I purchased this

and installed it between the HVAC controls and the cubby in the lower console. I had to remove it because it wrecked my radio reception. It's a bummer because it worked perfectly as a charger for my phone.
I installed this charger from Amazon (minus the water proof cap). It matches well. The only issue is it is always powered and the LED is on all the time. I have not had an issue with that killing my battery.

I installed a magnetic wireless mount:
My phone pops on and works perfectly as GPS when needed, and charges at the same time.
I used a bluetooth amp receiver to link to the audio system.
photos are a bit out of focus.
I had this same one for a while and didn't have any battery drain issues either. It matches the color better than the pics show.
After about six months, I realized that I still had accessories that needed a cigarette lighter plug so I installed USB in the console and put the dash one back to stock.
I have different plugs I use in the hole where the lighter part would normally go.
I use this BT adapter with success

. Only thing I don�t like is it won�t automatically pair with my phone but I think that only work with CarPlay.
It works and is cheap. You do lose the ability to play CD�s 😂

This is my first USB-C phone, so I don't have any USB-C accessories yet, besides the included wall adapter. What's a good / safe / less-expensive car charger (I'd need a USB-C cable as well). Preferably PD, but would be ok with 3 AMP USB C charging as well ( I believe the phone supports that). Makeuseof.com has and article, which links a spreadsheet, in which it seems very few are even safe. I can't post URLs yet, but you can search for best-usb-c-chargers-whats-safe-whats-dangerous for makeuserof.com. Any recommendations? I see Walmart has an Onn 3 AMP car charger, with cable for $5 -- but feel like I'd save lots on the charger -- and waste it on another phone...
My solution is to have a USB insert charger, with a homemade magnetic phone mount over the top of it. I seldom use the charger; it's there for emergencies. I usually just put my phone on the magnetic mount.
The mount is a magnetic pad (from amazon), with the cut-off end of an old usb stick epoxied to the back. (The magnetic mount does not provide charging capability). If I need to charge my phone, I pull off the magnet and plug in a standard cable.
So, I can't have the phone mounted and charge at the same time, but it's super simple and clean looking. I know this solution isn't for everyone.
