What’s going on guys, it’s Hai and with the new MKV Supras, Toyota has included a wireless charging mat for mobile phones. This is convenient but something annoying to me about this is the cover that sits over the wireless charger. It sits pretty low and that means getting a phone in and out of this area becomes very specific. You definitely develop a certain movement to get the task done. But, it just gets worst or maybe impossible if you use the ports right in front of the charger as the slot becomes even more obscured.
An obvious solution would be to take the cover off and today I’m going to show you how to do this. If we look under the cover, we can see that there’s a point of attachment on either side of the cover. It turns out that these are essentially just J hooks that latch under this panel. So to remove this cover, it’s just a matter of pulling it up. What I like to do is put a finger under the cover (right where the hook is) and just nudge the cover up. When that’s done, it’s just a matter of repeating on the other side.
The first time that I did this, the whole cover popped off from just lifting the right side with little effort and it seemed like it wasn’t even connected properly. This time for the camera, it actually took a little more force because I reinstalled it properly. Just something to take note of.
And that’s about it. Probably one of the simplest mods that can be done on this car but one that greatly improves day to day use. Now that I know how easy this was to do, I’m kind of kicking myself for not doing it sooner. If you have a similar dislike for the Supra’s wireless charging mat cover, then this is definitely something to try.
