I have a powermat myself and I can tell you it won't work under the console there just Strong enough to go through an otter box case any thing thicker then that it won't work.

The device you plan to charge has to be sitting on the power mat in the proper orientation for it to work proper.

It has to be absolutely flush with the top of the mat. You can't have anything - not even a piece of paper or a business card between the mat and the case. There are good electrical reasons for this - magnetic fields drop off with the square of the distance, so the charger would be monstrously inefficient if it were even a little bit further away.The other issue you might have is keeping the phone in place. There is a fairly small area on the charger where the phone can sit. It is held in place with the magnetic coupling, but it's only a few ounces of pressure.

my car is an audi S8, it has a connection straight from the center console but it is for an iPhone 4. So I had to get this contraption to connect it for an iPhone 5. The cord is 3 feet long and I can actually loop it enough to put it in the center console ( arm rest ) of the car which is not very big. so I think the cord should fit into the glovebox. sorry but to answer the question, the glove box may not close as the wire is prob 1/3 of inch thick. My center arm rest does not close fully when I am connected but it still looks ok the wire running into the front cup holders where I usually put the phone. my car is an audi S8, it has a connection straight from the center console but it is for an iPhone 4.

you can get a receiver and a charging pad. The receiver fits between the battery and the back and will make a connection. I do not know if that combination will work with the Duracell Powermat, I have not gotten anything to charge on it other the the case and the battery pack.

The cord from the charger to the battery posts is about 4 feet, which allows you to connect with the battery posts and place the charger on the garage floor about a foot away from the front wheel and also the power cord is about 3 feet in length.

It is about 12 to 15 feet.I was able to mount it on my trunk, run the cable along the underside of the to the trunk trim, then under the carpet along the driver side doors, then up to the wishield in the drivers side corner. I have my garmin mounted there, and about 8 to 10 inches of the cable stick out from the corner of the dash to easily connect to the garmin.I have a 98 audi A6, so reasonably sized car.Off topic - mounting the unit on the trunklid is *not* recomened. Very easy to break your rear window if the unit moves or falls off while closing the trunk.

You need to have the power mat and you just place your phone on it to charge

I am looking at it, and I think you could mount it the other way if you wanted to. It does not interfere with my regular charger (the one you plug into the computer or the power), however, I did have to file down the plastic on my car charger a little bit in order to get that to fit. It was a charger I bought from AT&T;, by the way, so it would be the standard one.

The face of the phone holder, which is against the back of my phone) is approximately 6 inches from my windshield. I am using the standard arm, not the extended arm. The arm is rotated approximately 90 degrees in the suction cup, so the distance would be closer to 6 3/4 or 7 inches if the arm where rotated so it went straight into the suction cup.

My control box is in my garage and does not have the smart plug so I ran plastic conduit about 3 feet above the box and attached the receiver to the conduit and the wiring through the conduit. The receiver is about 7 inch x 2 inch x 1 inch including the antenna. I wanted to mount the receiver above the control box so as to improve signal reception. I have at least a 200 foot reception range. The remote is soooo very helpful for testing sprinkler circuits. Hope this helps.

it is the same size as a verizon phone charger. Not a flush mount but one of those big adapters. Hope that answers your question. You can flush mount this to a wall. It is a small plug to the side of the unit. The power adapter will be a problem after I read your question. I don't think pluging it right behind the screen will work for you.

Below the full USB port, which you would use to charge your phone, there is a micro USB port. So you basically need to reverse the charging cable, and the end you would normally put into a phone or tablet, now goes into the smaller slot under the full sized USB port, and the other end of the cable (full size USB), is plugged into either a laptop, or a USB wall chargers, or USB plug socket charger. I hope this helps to answer your question, and enjoy this great powerbanks. I take mine with me everywhere :-) Regards, Ben Waters

Hey Phil. The great thing about the Power mat is that you don't need the charging port. You just simply lay your phone on the mat and charging begins. So yes to your question.

You can mount it under or behind the seats. It should cover about 3 to 8 feet beyond the body. I suggest trial staging and see what gives you the best location. It also adjusts signal strength, so keep that in mind.

The cord is permanently attached to the receiver. The phone cradle has no function escept to support the receiver when not it use. The wire comes out of the receiver and is coiled for expansion to about 6+ feet followed by a 6+ foot straight (not coiled) wire that threads through the cradle. If you use it as a table phone the wire beyond the cradle is about 6+ feet. I use the phone on a two pin wall bracket that I purchased seperatly and I coil the excess wire in the cradle before sliding it on the two pin wall bracket. The end of the wire has a plug for plugging it into a wall telephone socket. I hope this info helps.

When it's actually plugged in, it only sticks out from the wall about a half inch. With the prongs you're probably looking at an inch and a half, but you can push just about anything flush up against the plug since it's so close to the wall and the cord hangs down from the plug and not out like a traditional cord would.

Rather short, maybe 24" Probably designed that way so you don't have a lot of dangling cable in your way. Once you plug in, you control it from the radio controls anyway... no need to mess with your device itself.

I'm using 2 feet and is great. It mostly depends on how far is the stereo from wherever you're gonna place the phone, and how far away you wanna be able to pull it. In my case the cup holders are seating about a feet away from the stereo (in a straight line) and I only move it towards myself (never to the back).
