Misst Posted October 2, 2024 Share Posted October 2, 2024 Hello, I want to replace the cigarette lighter with a USB charger in the console. I need a fast charger, since the factory-installed USB in my 2017 Ford Ranger charged my phone very quickly. Has anybody undertaken this modification or can provide recommendations?

provideRR Posted October 2, 2024 Share Posted October 2, 2024 Is the plug-in ineffective? That is what I own in the ashtray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

provideRR Posted October 2, 2024 Share Posted October 2, 2024 The device I own purports to provide rapid charging at 20W per USB-C port. The issue is that these standards are always evolving. There is a plethora of options available on Amazon. The one I own is low-profile, hence it does not protrude much. It energizes my magnetic phone charger, allowing the phone to attach seamlessly to the mount. The mag fitting has a built-in fan to cool the phone while charging, preventing heat soak from slowing the charging pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misst Posted October 2, 2024 Author Share Posted October 2, 2024 Thank you. Do you have a link for both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
provideRR Posted October 2, 2024 Share Posted October 2, 2024 The socket is referenced above, but it is no longer accessible. The link is functional if you want to verify the dimensions. The vehicle mount has arrived: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09T9JLYZF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
provideRR Posted October 2, 2024 Share Posted October 2, 2024 I purchased it almost a year ago, and it is 15 watts. I presume you might get an improved version by now. It is a Qi charger; hence, it will not provide charging speeds comparable to a plug-in charger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
