    2017 Discovery Td6 HSE Lux Santorini Black

    Wireless phone charger cup


    Hi

    Just bought a 2017 HSE Lux and it has a wireless phone cup charger installed in the drink holder.
    My phone is too large to use it and it takes up room as well as stopping me from sliding the cover closed so i want to get rid of it.
    It is wired through the bottom of the cup holder.
    Anyone any idea safest easiest way for me to remove it?


    thanks

    Mark

    Is it plugged into one of the USB slots?

    No
    It goes underneath through a hole. Looks well fitted.
    Irritating me because its useless to me and its a fight for who gets the remaining drink holder Very Happy

    OK, I thought it did, need to find the installation PDF so you can sort it.

    You'll also need the instructions to take the centre console apart.

    I tried to fit one to my car but it refused to work. In all I removed and refitted it (and an alternative one) three times before I gave up and removed it completely.

    I have the PDF of how to remove take the center console apart here: https://1drv.ms/b/s!AqcKlSMuZmZgoWJKfEJ1dqgwbjUq?e=40udKi

    The first time you do it, allow a good couple of hours and don't rush. The top is a Censored to get it to unclip, you'll need some good plastic (non-scratch) trim remover tools to pry it off.

    Wires look quite thin, so a set of nail clippers will easy do the job.
    As long as you tape the wires up separately afterwards.
    Last thing you want is the car shorting, and you end up with a toasted D5 Laughing

    Cup holder charger

    Most smartphones today are too large to fit in the charging cup.
    I literally cut the cup to free the charging cable.
    I installed a WeatherTech phone holder in the cup and the cable is just long enough to plug into the iPhone. No major disassembly involved.
