I can't get my pixel 9 pro xl to charge with the quad lock charge head.
I logged a bug report with Google. I assume all works well with your phone?

I really like quadlock super solid mount, and easy to orient the phone sideways if you need to.

Yeah once I wired it up and tried it would charge for 3 seconds , so quad lock refunded my case(got to keep it) , returned the 12v head and got a normal head with the motorcycle 12v to usb .

Funny thing is my pixel 9 XL wouldn't work with the quaf lock but worked with other wireless chargers. Quad lock support said there investigating it but it's pointing towards the phone

I have a pro and I have noticed that you have to be spot on with the wireless charger for it to connect. Here is a post on pixel forum.

My new 9 Pro XL has odd behavior with wireless charging. I first noticed this with my Anker MagSafe charging puck and a Mous MagSafe Case.

It would show charging for a few seconds, then stop. Temperature of the device was very cool.

First test was to remove the case. This resulted in the same behavior so the case is not the issue.

Next test I tried a regular, non MagSafe Qi charger. I noticed getting the right spot was more difficult than with my Pixel 8, but I could get it to work randomly. But it would seems to randomly start, stop, and get really hot.

Next, I tried the MagSafe pick again by plugging it into the USB-C port of my Macbook Pro. Oddly enough, this works perfectly! With the case on as well, charges as expected with sufficient speed and minimal heat, as I would expect the Anker 20w wall charger to do.

So it seems there is clearly something odd with the amount of power being provided. It seems to be very finicky where the Pixel 8 was not.

Yeah I think it's just the phone that's the issue . The quad lock was rated for 3a max so it's quite alot. I'll just stick to the wired charging , see what the pixel 10 brings next year

i think it was my pixel as well. I logged a case with google mostly to get confirmation. I live close to the google campus and told them they could check out my devices live if they wanted to.

How do you like the quad lock charger?
I used to love my bullet point charger but it doesn't work with the Google pixel 9 XL.

I'm looking for a good alternative.

That looks pretty good , but already invested into quad lock at this point and have the wired charging working at the moment but I'll see further down the line

My Offspring gave me some Stedi lights for Xmas, including two rock lights that can be mounted on the Kaon side molle panels I have in the rear (the panels have mounting points & holes that are designed for the Stedi rock lights). I also have the Kaon rear roof shelf which blocks out much of the roof mounted light, making it a bit dark out back. Installed them this evening, after pulling out the existing light I fished the rock light cables out the roof light hole and spliced them into the roof light cable. Very happy with the result, the rock lights are very bright which suits me fine.

Moved my Stedi 7.8in Micro light from the left side grab bar to the rear ladder (Santa gave me a Micro Touch 13.9in which will go in its place), mounted using the same Vice 22mm-30mm bar clamps. Wire runs nicely behind the rubber corner cap, along the gutter to the left rear power outlet. Light is well out of the way when climbing the ladder, and can be used for illumination of the rear or left side if you open the small door. Only challenge is both left side power outlets run off the one internal switch, but the Touch 13.9in light has its own switch on the front. I may change the rear to a Touch model as well so they can be switched independently.

Great minds think alike.

Same, I ordered a printer yesterday. It should be here next week. So, fellow Grenadiers, the US is about to have a distribution center for cubby trays. I've ordered black and orange filament. I'll have to pay @chrsbe a royalty, I think.

Would you be willing to print me on the center console trays? Glad to cover the cost oif materilas

 

[Rupert]

I have been using the @chrsbe designed cubby box insert for the centre console for quite some time and it has been great (it inspired me to buy a 3D printer), however I thought I could do one that better suits my storage needs and here it is. You may find it a bit easier and faster to print, for the file click here.

Oh hell bro will you print me one of these and mail it to me in Texas? Glad to cover the costs

I think it looks great and plan on copying your layout. I've ordered the Stedi but it only comes with a 40cm cable and the distance is around 85cm to the back left roof socket. I've also ordered a harness but was wondering how you connected up? I'm not sure if the connectors are too wide to sit in the gutter? Cheers

I'm really wanting lights like this for around the truck when camping but I'm looking for ones that are white and red. Do you or anyone know where I can get some that do more than just white??

They don't sell any touch or dual color lights in the US. I just checked.

I've also ordered a harness but was wondering how you connected up? I'm not sure if the connectors are too wide to sit in the gutter? Cheers

The wire on the light is quite short. I ordered a roll of basic twin core wire from Amazon (think it was 2.5mm or 3mm core), cut off the connector on the light and spliced it into the existing cable, soldered the join and then covered with heat shrink. The join sits behind the light, this allowed me to cleanly run the wire behind the rubber gutter corner piece. Put a DTP plug on the other end to go into the roof socket.

I did not want a plug connection between the light and the roof socket to keep the wire run as clean and unobtrusive as possible.
