How to Install TopoCharge Wireless Charger in Gen2 Rivian

Quick answer

Installing the TopoCharge wireless charger in your Gen2 Rivian R1T or R1S takes about 15 minutes. The key steps are removing the factory pad, connecting the power cable, and securing the silicone mat.

Installation steps

1. Remove the factory charging pad: Gently pry up the original rubber mat from the center console. Use a plastic trim tool to avoid scratching the surrounding surfaces. The mat is held by adhesive, so work slowly. Common mistake: pulling too hard can tear the mat. Work from one corner with steady pressure.
2. Disconnect the factory power cable: Locate the small connector under the pad. Press the tab and pull it free. If your vehicle has a USB port nearby, note its location for later routing. Checkpoint: ensure the connector is fully released before pulling to avoid damaging the pins.
3. Connect the TopoCharge power cable: Plug the included cable into the vehicle's power connector. Route the cable neatly along the existing channel so it doesn't pinch when the mat is installed. Common mistake: leaving slack that interferes with the console lid closing. Tuck the cable flat.
4. Position the TopoCharge silicone mat: Align the mat over the charging area, ensuring the NFC reader cutout lines up with your vehicle's reader. Press down firmly to adhere the mat. Checkpoint: test that the NFC card reader still works by tapping a card before finalizing the install.
5. Test the charger: Place your phone on the mat. The charging indicator should light up within a few seconds. If not, adjust the phone's position slightly. Common mistake: phone cases thicker than 3mm may interfere. Remove the case if charging doesn't start.
