Quad Lock wireless phone charger conversion to 1” Ram ball

Quad Lock makes a pretty neat phone case/mount system, but I want to use it with the Expedition Essentials TPAM, so I needed it compatible with a 1" Ram ball.

I purchased:
Ram ball, threaded https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006RKF1X8/
Coupler https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005KWPJ04/
Ball mount https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002KO5XVU/
Wireless head https://www.quadlockcase.com/collections/accessories/products/charging-wireless-charging-head

I already had the misc hardware.
Button head 1/2-20 screw
5/16 washer
1/4 fender washer

I also already had the phone case, but they also make a "universal" mount for any phone/item.

Start by disassembling the Quad Lock charger body. It's held together by 4x torx screws. A T6 driver made quick work of them.



Note the size of the plastic boss inside. This is why you'll need a low profile screw head. I found out that a socket head cap screw will not work, as it takes up too much room.



You should have:
Screw | 5/16 washer | Body | 1/4 fender washer | threaded ball
Assemble these tightly. You don't want the ball to be able to rotate at all inside the mount, or your phone will not attach/detach easily.



Then reattach the two halves, and install as appropriate for you.



I wish they would offer this from the factory, but not yet.

 

Looks good man! Seems like a pretty simple change. Kinda make me want to switch up phone mounts.

 

I need to check this out when I see ya

 

Can this Quadlock wireless charger being connected to the Tacoma wireless pad switch?

 

I don't know, my 2nd gen doesn't have that pad/switch.

 

It would likely work. I would just look into the wattage/voltage needed is first to make sure its the same and then you could just rewire the worthless stock charge to power the quadlock.

 

I will be looking into this..I think it’ll be great to activate the charger using the stock charging switch.

 

Thank you op. Great mod guide. Love my new setup.
