Qi Wireless Charger Removal from center console for 2020-2022 Toyota Highlanders

- 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.

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.
I appreciate the support!
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!
@@vietbubbletea Looking for a tray that fits way in the back where the jack tools are stored. They have them for the older models but have not found anything for the newest generation Highlander.
@@paulp1166 Are you referring to the space under the trunk floor? I have a bunch of crap down there like umbrellas, portable toilet for the kids , first aid kit, etc so it's a hot mess down there. lol Let me know if you do find something!
Thank you 😊 lost a ten doller lotto ticket between the folding door and its home...didnt know if it had screws or not. Didnt wanna break it for ten bucks. Lol. Thanks!!
@@jasonruch3529 Looks like you just hit the $10 jackpot!
Thanks for making this great video. I hated that charger now it’s gone. 😊
Thank you for saving me hours of troubleshooting and probably breaking things out of frustration :)
I'm glad it helped!
Nice detailed video. I’ll have to do this for my wife’s highlander. I can’t stand that useless charger lol
Awesome videos. Thank you for taking the time out and making these videos. You rock!!!!
Thanks, I appreciate the support!
Excellent video, thank you. I watched it once and then did the entire procedure in 15 minutes.
Nice, thats pretty fast! Glad the video helped you!
Thank you for the video!!
I was looking around to how to take the whole damn thing out!!
I personally think that’s the worst placement in my opinion!! Toyota should put it back to the cubbie spot under the stereo!
Agreed! Terrible placement and bulky as heck!
Removing mines today
Man...great video, saved me a TON of time. Thank you! Now how to put it back! 🤪
Very helpful. Thank you!
I'm going to have to try this one. Thank's for the vid!
Great video, I was able to take mine out in just 10 mins!
Thanks a lot. I followed your instructions and good to go. Thanks again.
Nice! Enjoy all that extra space now!
The neather world 😂😂
😂😂😂
Great video!!
Just subscribed to your channel. Love your videos. Were you affected by the chip shortage when you bought your highlander?
Thanks for the sub! I was fortunate and purchased my Highlander in December 2020 just before the chip shortage impacted supply and pricing. Do you own a Highlander or in the market for one?
@@vietbubbletea ordered my 2021 hybrid limited on Sept 9. Dealer said it is "In Transit" and should be here Oct 25. Did you pay less than MSRP?
@@Okikor1 Great choice! Back then before the chip shortage, I purchased my car at $4000 below MSRP. If you're a Costco member, some dealers today are still honoring the Costco Auto discount, never hurts to ask! I hope you enjoy your Highlander as much as I have.
Thanks. Did you get extended warranty for yours?
@@Okikor1 Nope, my dealer wanted too much for it at the time of signing so I passed on it. We have a 2yr warranty anyways to give me more time to think if I want to get it later. If you join the Toyota Highlander Facebook groups, there's a person that sells the dealer extended warranty for a great value that many other members have purchased from.
Thank you for this video. If I want to remove the side peice, do I need to remove the seats?
If you're referring to the side walls on the center console, you dont need to remove the seats.
@vietbubbletea yes, the side wall covers. Ok that's great, thank you
is there any idea on how to make a good use of the 12V cable? like LED light for the center console?
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
All your mods make sense. Thanks for your videos!
That's for the support!
OMG this is very good!
Hey Bud…. I was just curious was there any issues w warning lights or anything after removing the charger? I don’t think there would be but just curious.
No issues at all
@vietbubbletea can you use the power harness for other accessories?

hi brother, can you tell where i can buy phone charger for i phone like the one you have that fits in cup holder. thanks
This is the cup holder base that I have but I switched the phone mount with an Andobil one since I liked the phone release button on the side rather than at the top, hope that helps!

@@vietbubbletea thanks alot
Where did you get the net between the seats?
@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.

One of Toyota's worst designs. Design person should get fired.
They started with the Lexus and then decided to put it on the Toyotas
