I got a new LG Revolution 4G phone and I've just purchased a Wireless charger for it.
I am going to install and mount it this weekend in my 2008 528I
I was wondering if anyone has already installed a wireless charger in the car before and have any tips on that?
It should be very stright forwrd and easy and I am currently just debating where to set the charger base?
Bluetooth works great on that and I've been using the USB charger. I thought the wireless charger could nicer and more efficient to use

Put up a pic of the charger, wires, etc.

That actually has a 12volt input? How many amps does it require?
I'm wondering how well the phone will sit in place without bouncing/sliding off
Since it ihas to be flat you have pretty few options I think. Will the pad fit in the bottom of the center console? I don't think I would want it visible anywhere.

It does not fit in the center arm. To be able to use the wireless charger I have to use a new battery back cover on the phone which snap into the phone very well.
I was thinking I can mount the back cover permanently on the wireless base charger, then install the base with the phone back cover attached on the top above the D-link/ garage opener area. I can run the long wire from inside dash to that area, the same way I have done my Valentine radar detector. If that works, I can charge the phone, listen to music via Bluetooth and back seat watch movies as well. Well, just the thought I am not sure that will work or not. I am going to play around.......

Actually, it has 19v input with 0.5A so I have to use inverter.
