I wish the gladiator had a wireless charging pad

Inside the compartment in front of the shifter. That would be nice.

Be the change you are looking for. 12v wireless pads exist. Make it happen.

Not cheap but here an option:

Different platform, but pretty easily applied if you can find a good spot for it:

Leatherseats.com makes a custom center console cover with a recessed built-in wireless charger. Really nice looking cover, too, in any leather (or vinyl) you want.

I prefer a hard wire since I use mine for trails. Those magnetic pads aren't worth beans for off roading, but thats just my 2 cents. I feel I get far better connectivity with a wire, as well as better multi tasking. I can Video over the top of the dash from the mount, while listening to music and have the map on, all while plugged in for a charge. To easy. I think my phone would fly out the safari doors if I went wheeling with a "magnetic charge pad" See you on the trails, & safe travels to you.

quad lock makes one that is awesome for off roading or motorcycle. works awesome and no wire required.

Wireless charging works great on samsung phones. With a wireless pad you just put your phone battery side down on the shelf and it starts charging.

USB-c in the top of the dash would be my choice.

I already pointed to a thread on another forum where one was installed, but I'll weigh in on a slightly different angle as well:

My ZR2 Bison had a wireless charger in the center console from the factory. A lot of people complain about their phones being too big, but the issue there is that their phones are too big... If you need to charge a pants tablet, use a cable. Anyway, it was awesome. Combined with a CarPlay2Air dongle, it was exactly what a modern car needs to work with modern cellphone devices and behaviors. It's the same logic as keyless ignition; if you don't have to wrangle with getting things out of your pockets, you come out ahead. Cables are obnoxious, and I'd happily do away with all of them if I could. If there was a way to charge my phone without taking it out of my pocket (or risking bodily harm to any adjacent organs), I'd be on it in a heartbeat.

I don't know about the Apple magnetic mount charging things. Still better than a cable, I'm sure, just never used one. Seems more fiddly than your typical Qi charger.

If the MY22 doesn't have such a thing, I'll almost certainly be working something out. It'd be nice if I don't have to pioneer it, but someone has to.

OEMs seem to screw things up, I wish there was a good place for one. FCA would have put some kind of 5w crappy thing that wouldn't even fit a 6in phone with a case. Love the term pants tablet from above. The damn usb-c ports don't even support the PD spec, literately the only reason you would put in that type of port over a type a.

Once my wireless android auto adapter comes in I am going to try to rig up something with one of the 15w samsung wireless chargers, but am going to need to run a power source to do it (usb ports are not powerful enough)
