Qi Wireless charger in center armrest

Wonder if there's any recommended wireless charging pad that fits in the center armrest tray and plugs into the USB port?

I have an iPhone X so it already has wireless charging. I wanted to add it to my center console so I can just drop the phone in there and it will charge.

I found this charger fit perfectly. I'm going to make a small tab out of plastic to keep the phone from sliding off under hard braking but otherwise it fits almost perfect.

Cool thanks! I have Amazon Prime so this is perfect. Let me know how it works with the bracket you're making to hold the phone in place. Something that keeps it in place better but that you can still just drop the phone in without thinking about it much. My iPhone X fits perfectly in the tray, though with the charger I imagine it is above the tray wall so it can slide off onto the other area where the USB port is. May I can put something on top of the wall that still looks factory to keep it on that side, but that I can easily remove later.

I bet with some minor modification this along with the Amazon option could work very well.
