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.

The power cable is 135" long. They obviously planned it so you could run it concealed into the dashboard if you wanted.

My subwoofer sits behind me near an outlet and I haven't let the power cord out to full length. The manual doesn't say but it appears to be about 6 feet. Nice speaker.

I found no reason to measure the adapter wires. What I can say is that since you have bare leads on one end you can add to the length if you need to. It fit easily behind my AppRadio and now the Nexus 7 that I changed to and still had enough wire on the USB side to wrap under my dash. I use it to keep my phone charged while it sits in a holder. Its been in service for around a year now without any issues and does exactly what its expected. It is connected to the power on lead and from the radio harness. When I changed to the Nexus 7 install I almost left it out but I am not glad I didn't. I found no reason to measure the adapter wires.

Ours is on the car now and we have 8 inches between the carrier and the receiver (not counting the portion in the receiver). Hope that helps.

When I had it, I put it behind the tail light that I wired it to for the power. There was enough space back there. Depends on the truck I guess. Mine is an 08 dodge 1500. You could always retro fit a small plastic box to put it in if your handy and drill a small hole to expose the wires and antenna. Just a thought! But save your money and buy a hard wired one that I did. The transmitter picked up a lot of interference from nearby obstacles and the screen was flashing on and off all the time. At one point I watched sponge Bob. Lol I know it was a long response but good luck.

I don't know but the cord is a little short to reach from my power socket to the top of the dashboard.

The receiver arm extends 7 1/2 inches from the basket with the receiver pin hole at 5 1/2 inches from the basket. On my Accord receiver the pin hole is located about 3 3/4 inches forward of the backward plain of the bumper and the basket then clears the bumper by 1 1/2 inches... a perfect fit for not having the load extended too far back yet enough clearance to do tie-downs etc. I am really happy with the basket and the adapter has worked great when I have used it with a 2" receiver on my Caravan.

Sub wire to connect to receiver is 5m(~15ft). The power cord for the sub isn't as long. I'm guessing it's more like 6ft, but it does enable you to plug in the sub elsewhere in the room and have the freedom to place the sub up to 15ft away from the receiver if you so choose to.

Hi Marjorie, I would say that the cord coming out of the body is no more than 6-8 inches. Just enough to attach to the main power cable.

It is coiled in the middle, straight on either end, maybe about a foot or a little more in total length, stretching to roughly 18-24". However, it tends to spring back or disconnect from your phone if extended to the full length. Depending on where your outlet is located, it's long enough to connect to a phone in a center console or cupholder. I'm able to connect it to my phone while it's mounted in a holder on the center vent, but it might be difficult if it were mounted on the dash or windshield, or to talk on it (non-hands free) while charging.

The cable plug goes in about half way, exposing about 1/4". I concur with zaph. If your power button doesnt turn amber, then you have a problem. BUT, for the first time, figure on a long charging time (If memory serves me right).

Mine works great ! If I run my phone down to 20%... Push the charge button on the PowerBot, it charges the phone back to 100% in about 90 minutes, and I still have enough power left in the PowerBot to charge the phone back up to 70%+ again. ( I leave the PowerBot case on the phone ALL THE TIME, And I charge both together at nite, so both are fully charged come morning)Great product for the price!

The power cord was long enough to run it up under the dash and along the windshield all the way to the rear view mirror, I did not have get a longer wire. I should also let you know, I have a Hyundai Santafe SUV

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.

I get 5.4 inches. the power plug has about 3 inches of movment centered between the arms incase your galaxy's plug is not in the center.
