CarQiWireless Wireless Charger for Honda CRV 2019 2018 2017 - Console

Our review of the CarQiWireless wireless charger for 5th gen Honda CR-V (2017-2019) finds it is best for owners who want a tidy, integrated charging solution that installs in minutes. The biggest reason to buy is its tailored fit for the CR-V center console, which keeps a phone secure on an anti-slip mat while enabling Qi charging without modifying the vehicle. Installation is simple and reversible, and the review highlights a thoughtful three-coil pad and heat emission design that make it a practical interior accessory rather than a generic charger.

Key Features

• Custom Fit: Designed specifically for 5th gen Honda CR-V models 2017, 2018, and 2019, it sits neatly in the console storage area for a factory-like appearance.
• Quick Installation: No tools or cuttings required, the unit installs in about a minute and connects to power via a cigarette lighter mini charger for a simple setup.
• Three-Coil Charging: A 3-coil pad expands the effective charging area so phones can charge without precise alignment and reduces blind spots.
• Safety Features: Built-in FOD protection helps prevent overheating, over-voltage, and short circuits for safer daily use.
• Cooling and Grip: An anti-slip silicon mat and heat emission holes help keep the phone stable and assist cooling during charging sessions.
• Broad Phone Support: Compatible with many recent iPhone and Galaxy models, and most Qi-enabled phones, covering common devices drivers use today.

Who It's For

This accessory is ideal for CR-V owners who want a neat, purpose-built wireless charger that integrates with the center console and can be installed by anyone in minutes. It suits families or drivers who prefer a permanent-looking solution without professional installation and value the anti-slip mat for short trips.

It is not for owners of the 2020 CR-V or users of non-Qi phones such as older Pixel models that lack proper compatibility; those seeking faster wired charging or built-in OEM charging should look elsewhere.
