hi everybody welcome back today I'm in the garage and I went out and got some stuff to a
attempt to make my own wireless charger for the IPhone
so while I'm on the bike I don't have to keep plugging it in and unplugging it
I waited on Ram Mounts to come out with something for about a year now
cause they said they were coming out with something but
I haven't seen anything on the market for a wireless charger and I haven't seen many choices out their that I'm impressed with
so I am just gonna try or attempt to make one on my own
by using a wireless charging pad
and my old Ram Mount
don't know if this is going to work or were gonna give it a shot
let's get into it
I am concerned about moisture getting inside of this (sigh)
not really sure how this is going to hold up
so the idea here is to take this and put it in here
like that
to give this an extra oh I don't know an 1/8 of an inch we're going to take this off this sticker from the mount
I am going to glue this in place
try to get it as close to center as possible
ya that looks pretty good
alright so we're gonna run a little bit of glue right in here
I was thinking of running some glue on the outside of this were the seam is
I don't know if I should
to help make it more water resistant
I think that will be fine I think my biggest concern here is the wire hook up
like I said if this doesn't work out well we'll just ah I'll just get another one (Laughs)
I am using what's called Seal-All
contact adhesive
and ah sealant
put some right in the center here
right in the middle
nice little blob of it
now the trick is to get this lined up
alright the hardest part is making sure this disk is centered
cause if it's not it won't charge the phone
either I ruined this mount or this is going to work
alright I can't wait I left this dry for about 3 hours
it's still not fully dry
or set
but I want to see if it even works
so as you can see I do have a cover on the phone
it's a thin cover
it's not that thick so it still fits in the mount pretty well
of course your always gonna have to use with these mounts gotta use the tether
that holds it all in place just in case you hit a hard bump
you don't want this flying out
so it does fit pretty good
I just want to ah see if this is actually gonna work
ooh it's charging
as you can see it's charging
now it's setup if I shut the bike off this will go off
and their you go
stopped charging
bikes on
she's charging
it's gonna work good
I just got to run the wire
it will stay in there semi permanently
and ah when I go somewhere I just take the tether off and Bam take the phone off
nothing else to unhook
eventually I'll take the tape off after 24 hours
you know let that glue dry real well
before I take the tape back off
so that's it thanks for watching
leave some feedback
let me know what you think
bye bye
