Easier to share URL on my mobile.
Carbon look is much better than Aluminium.
Also the phone charger is very practical.

If you need the items, let me know and I share the link.

Like the carbon but sorry not a fan of giving up cup holder. But then I'm retired and don't give a crap about a phone whereas coffee for me and my companion are of paramount importance ! .......

That charger is cool. But I like to keep my phone on a mount to be more visible. Since I use the phone for navigation and play music.

Nice.

I like the charger I got better because I get to keep my 2 cup holders, and it sits above the smoking tray. A little pricey, but definitely quality. Have had it for over a year with no issues.

Looks great. Are the carbon pieces replacing the OEM, or to be applied on top? Pls PM me links to both the trim and charger?

Edit: totally overlooked the links you posted later on.

Edit 2: seems you posted the link to the charger twice, but not the carbon piece at all...

Kinda pricey for a simple function. Plus the wireless charging speed is really slow. If you are using CarPlay, it can barely catch up the consumption for navigation and other apps

Yes sorry, posted the wrong link for the carbon piece:
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mND0qCh

It is something you just stick on the original one so takes literally one minute. One tip, the carbon pieces are slightly too small of around 1mm. Use a marker and color the bottom of the alu piece (on both sides) and then you can put the pieces. It is just easier to color before. The reason to pain is that when enter the car, you see a little piece of gray (from the metal) until you are in the car and look from the top..
Hope I explained well enough.

For the charger, it is clearly a quick charge 3.0 as my Samsung S20 charges very quickly and it says fast charging when I drop the phone on the charger.

Honestly, these are huge improvement for a very reasonable price...

So the cf is an overlay sticker? Judging by the most recent link the knee pad area is the only pieces of trim you applied the cf to? Do they offer the other trim pieces?

Really like to get one but reading a post and found some say, it doesn't fit a large phone like Galaxy Note 10. I'm currently getting Note 20 (5mm taller than Note 10).
Any chance if you've tried with those big phones?
