Installing the wireless phone charger
The wireless phone charger can be purchased at the Tesla online store. To install the wireless phone charger in Model X equipped with a center console, do the following:
- Open the center console sliding door and the phone dock door.
- Remove the phone dock mat by lifting it straight up.
- Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws (x2) that attach the existing phone dock adapter bracket to the center console. Remove the existing phone dock if it is equipped.
- Partially lower the phone dock door, then push the phone dock adapter bracket toward the front of the vehicle. Remove the phone dock adapter bracket by reaching into the center console.
- Partially lower the phone dock door, then install the new phone dock adapter bracket.
Note: Make sure that the tabs are fully aligned with the center console.
- Align the holes in the new phone dock adapter bracket with the holes in the center console, and then install the screws (x2) that secure the phone dock adapter bracket to the center console (tighten to a torque of 0.28 Nm).
- Insert the USB cable downwards through the opening in the adapter bracket in the phone dock.
- Partially lower the phone dock door, then insert the new wireless phone charger so that the tabs on each side align with the slots on the center console. Push the wireless phone charger down until you hear a click and the wireless phone charger is fully secured.
- Maneuver the USB cable up and through the opening behind the new phone dock adapter bracket. Pull the USB cable so that there is minimal slack under the phone dock door.
- Carefully guide the USB cable through the retaining tabs in the channel in the molded plastic of the center console.
Caution: Be careful not to damage the retaining tabs.
- Connect the USB cable to one of the ports in the center console.
- Replace the phone docking mat so that the notch is aligned with the USB cable. Make sure to push the front part down so that it is under the phone dock adapter bracket and completely level with the center console.
