Quad Lock Weatherproof Wireless Charging Head-Vibration Dampener-Install and run on iphone11promax.

Alright, so a overview unbox install and ride out test on Quad locks wireless system. EDIT!! check the video after this one where i sort out the low charging issues...SPOILER: it is not the bike!!
www.quadlockcase.co.uk/produc...
DISCLAIMER!!: THIS IS NOT AN AD!!, i am not getting paid to say nice things about products that companies give me, Turns out quad lock have alot of faith in there products, or else they would not give them to the likes of me to show you guys. If i say something is really good, then guess what, IT IS REALLY GOOD! and that is based on my experiences with it, i cant speak for everyone, and if you think im pulling a fast one, then that is more your issue that it is mine.

Alright, so first, check out Terence O’ Keeffe’s comment below, then check out the later vid i did after using a higher output socket, quite the difference. Cheers, Billy. X

[@terenceokeeffesmotorcyclestuff]

It’s not the bike Billy, that front port will supply 10A at 12v if it needs to (120w) and the alternator will power a small village on the Explorer. Make sure your USB port is the 2.1A rated one. USB is only 5v and if you only have a 1A adapter you will only get by 5w out of it. Change it to 2.1A and you will get 10.5 watts and it will charge properly.

[@billy4rocks]

Cheers Terry, yeah apparently so, someone else mentioned that, i had no idea that usb ports ran at different outputs, thanks for the info. Every day is a school day! I shall give you a mention in the next vid, always appreciate learning something new. Thanks again. ✊

It's hard to tell but it looks like the test was done with the Powerlet (12:42 in the video) and if you pause the video at around 10:59 you see the face of it reads "5V at 2.1A" so it should be good. ​@@billy4rocks Did you ever get this working better?

@@joelmellon6868 it worked alot better when i got the higher output adapter. Terry saved the day!

@@billy4rocks Best is to use QuadLock own 12V-USB adaptor. There you can turn it on Auto mode(turns on when bike is running) / Off / On and then you can be sure that it gives correct ampers for wireless charger + then its much more waterproof, because USB connection is covered with rubber. I am using that set on my jetski. :)

Heated grips jacket and gloves ☺️ ... that’s something I remember, them cold days aren’t missed. Great work. Hoping Quadlock replace my mk1 charger. Will let you know how I go under warranty 👍🏼

[@seanb1081]

Great detailed video. I have a basic quad lock system running on my bike. I can definity see how Quad lock has gone the extra mile with the wireless charging system to ensure a waterproof connection to the wireless mount head. My concern is that there is still a weak point in the system when it comes to how waterproof the entire electrical circuit is. The week point is the first connection from the 12V or USB outlet on the bike to the wireless mount. Every USB or 12V "cigarette outlet" I've seen advertised for any bike, appears to be highly susceptible to water entering the power output to cable connection. IMHO, it's useless to have a waterproof connection at the end of a circuit if the begging of the circuit isn't also waterproof. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

[@Shawn-px3yz]

Good video Billy. I just ordered this for my Son to put on his bike.. KTM DUKE 390. You should also remember you were Running your Map App… That will affect your Charging rate as well. We will be wiring directly to the Battery on his Bike with New 12Volt to USB Adapter Quad Lock has just added to their lineup! It will be interesting to see if that makes a difference. I will add another comment once we get some data on that to let you know. Again thank you for the Video, it was informative! Cheers from 🇨🇦

[@billy4rocks]

Cheers Shawn, there a update vid after this one in regards to the charging rate, it was all down to the low output usb plug i was using, got a new one and it charged it loads more.

[@S.chan_SHINOYAN]

とても参考になりました。 ありがとうございます。

[@DieTabbi]

Good review. I asked myself, why they aren‘t so clever eliminating the next weak point ? Every connection with a removable connector is a weak point. Somwhy don‘t hardwire it to the charger or use SAE connectors? I never understand brands design not to the end.

[@SuperGizzzmo]

Hi there mate so just watched your video I have a ninja 650 and have just bought the whole system just like yours. And I have also bought the quad lock cigarette charger Will be putting it on the bike tomorrow and will definitely let you know the results in charging spec. I also have tom-tom heated grips and a gloves jacket and trousers. Talk soon.

[@paulh2346]

For higher wireless charging power, a USB charger with higher current (Ampere) is required. I use a USB charger that can deliver 2.4 Ampere (Optimate USB O- 100), on a 1991 BMW airhead. My iPhone XR is charged in with high power (the green light is constantly on - not intermittent). Btw: thanks for this review. Tells me what I wanted to know about the vibration dampener.

[@billy4rocks]

Ahh i see, thanks very much for the information, shall get that and give you a shout out on the video. Thanks again, much appreciated. ✊

I’ve just ordered all my kit from them paid £5.50 for 48 hour delivery, and then they’ve just emailed me saying due to Corvid it may be longer delivery than expected fingers crossed hope I get it soon

[@markgr1nyer]

Glad to see they have modified the wireless charging cable in port. The original version that I got rid off when I sold my last bike didn't work due to water ingress as the cable stood proud. Now they have a plastic tube around the port sealing the connection

[@billy4rocks]

Mine has been out in some horrendous weather, so far so good.

[@allun13]

Good vid mate. Yeah, I reckon with your jacket on and maybe grips/gloves as well as your phone being a satnav, then the charger did well. Bike batteries are quite small compared to car batterys. Good system though Thanks.

[@billy4rocks]

Cheers Mate, Just been looking at another you tubers vid and he had similar results, which is comforting! Haha... yeah might run another test with nothing attached or running on the phone, see what that gives, its all a learning process! ✊

[@luc1ferblack]

No its not the battery the alternators on these bikes can handle alot more its likely the usb plug

[@billy4rocks]

The vid after this one i used a higher output plug, made all the difference.

[@toby7504]

Nice one. Looks big i think, but its an easyer charging. I do have a din adapter from ebay with a charging clock...that to is a bit long, but it works. Negative 11'C outside here, so no commuting to work tonight 🥶😭

@@billy4rocks in this weather l think you need a woodstove under the jacket. 😀. Fits your bike good as its a big bike. Quad is on my wish list

[@bryangrim6021]

Looks like a neat system overall. I may invest in this. I do feel however that they should just incorporate the vibration dampening and the wireless charging right into the mount and eliminate multiple connection points/points of failure. I think this would be a better design. Still offer all the other products, but offer mounts that have everything built right in. Just my two cents. Thank you for demonstrating some of this. I also think your phone would charge faster if you weren’t actually running maps / GPS (although I realize thats the point of mounting it there). I think some of those apps are rather taxing to the battery.

[@billy4rocks]

Check out the pinned comment, i was running a lower powered usb port, changed it and it fixed it, i think the video after this about that. Cheers. 👍

Ive ordered the damping mount and stem/ handle bar bolt mount, it doesnt fit. Bolt is wrong size, so far quadlock have been helpful, responded very quickly. But thats my fault for ordering the wrong product. The case for my phone is too small, so that will be going back. Ive found they do a wireless charger that doesnt need usb connections, looks like can be wired into a switched live or thunder box etc

[@Surefiresecurity]

Fitted mine today Billy. I fitted a 3.1 amp USB output to bike a few days ago. Changing to standard head for the Wireless charging head was cinch and literally took a few moments of my time. I went out today as the weather was glorious so I rode from Hull to Cleethorpes and back. 32% charge upon leaving Hull and it was 98% charged upon arriving at Clee. I'd call that a win. I've also got the Vibration dampener fitted too. Its all on a RAM Mount and is rock solid with lots of options to move it around to exactly where I want it.

[@billy4rocks]

Nice one Mick, yeah since I upgraded my usb port to the higher output one it made the world of difference. In the vid i done directly after this i had pretty much exactly the same results as you, albeit over the course of a 40 min journey.

[@AndreaResta]

what phone please? I have a Samsung s21 and Quadlock says it charges at max 5w...

[@user-uk1zg5pq1m]

Havent had a good experience with this. My phone keeps dislodging at the slightest knock. The original locking mechanism seems to work better. Not sure if i just got a defective one but slight rotation and the phone comes off.

[@kobayashimaru8114]

I wonder how much power it draws if you don't switch it off after a ride? Guessing not much at all but would suck if your bike's battery is low and this drains it.

[@Bornamortezaei]

I wanted to order it but I found out that I can order a separate USB adapter and connect it to the battery! But in the video he only ordered the wireless charging without a smart adapter! Is that correct or should I just order the wireless charging on the website? There are 2 versions of wireless charging! First with USB and second with fixed cabling! Which one should I order? Which one is in the video? I think the one without USB! So I can connect it directly to the battery

[@SuperGizzzmo]

Ps Love the review by the way.

[@billy4rocks]

Cheers David, yeah you’ll love it, its a great bit of kit.

[@billy4rocks]

Ohh and also dont do what i did and run it via a low output usb port, it barely charges it, the second video to this one explains everything ✊

[@halan236]

I'd say with everything still running on the phone (GPS, Bluetooth, WiFi, Music Player, etc.) and not loosing any battery, that's a (+2%) plus. So if you start with a fully charged phone and go on a full day trip, you can rest assured that your phone's battery won't die on it. BTW, did you buy a Quad lock windscreen mount for your car?

[@billy4rocks]

Hello Alan, this is true, but it worked alot better when I upgraded the USB adapter to a higher output one, that video is directly after this one. I don’t have a car.

[@ProfMorganAttyNextDoor]

How many screw did u use? One for the dampener and one for the wireless charger? I thought one screw will put them all in . Thanks for the video. Will install mine later today?

[@billy4rocks]

If i recall correctly it’s one long screw which connects both.

[@ProfMorganAttyNextDoor]

@@billy4rocks from your video, i think u used 2. One for the dampener then one for the wireless charging

[@dumptrump3788]

14:50 the "Low power charging" would almost certainly due to the limits of the 12V-USB adapter. The new charger might be better, assuming it's a higher rated adapter.

Quick Q how long did your stuff take to get to you in the uk

[@billy4rocks]

About 5 days if I recall correctly

[@ka1mla1]

I’ve got a question. It seems that by mounting the vibration dampening unit, then the wireless charger, that there is no longer a LOCK to the QuadLock case right? If the case no longer LOCKS to the wireless charging unit, do you have any concerns with the phone accidentally coming off the wireless charger? I see there is also no tether on the QuadLock cases, so if that phone gets bumped accidentally and comes off while you are riding, you don’t even have a tether around the mount to save the phone. Any concerns here? So it’s a QuadLock system that no longer locks?

[@billy4rocks]

Hello Mark, it still locks to the wireless charger, its the only way that it can be attached, via the phone case.

[@ka1mla1]

Great! I thought the locking mechanism was the blue lever.

[@billy4rocks]

@@ka1mla1 it is on the standard quad lock attachment, you push that lever down to release. With the wireless mount you push your entire phone down then twist off to unlock.

[@chitoloveone7565]

Am I missing something? If it’s a wireless unit why do you have to run a cable to power the unit ? Why not just run a phone cable to a usb to the battery of the bike ?

[@billy4rocks]

I guess it’s wireless in that you don’t have to plug a wire in every time you want to use it. Much like a desktop wireless phone charger, there still attached to the mains via a wire, you just lay your phone on it.

[@chitoloveone7565]

It’s a Great idea with a stupid design, the price is also absurd. 75.00 that’s crazy. For 14.00 you can buy the Battery tender usb connect it to your battery via the battery tender and just run a 3 foot phone cable and it does the exact same thing. Wireless means exactly that.

[@ManBikeSwag]

In my opinion, Quadlock really messed up by not having the cable hard wire into the unit. The plug option is just another annoying place that can rattle loose. I would get one if this wasn't the case!

[@ryanmalone2681]

It’s kinda ghetto they don’t provide an actual charging cable to connect to your battery. Satnavs for bikes include that, and satnavs are half to a third of the price of an iPhone. Really wish they added that.

[@tommyauback]

But whats the point? Why not plug the cable straight into the phone instead?

[@billy4rocks]

Fair question, So you don’t have to put in and pull out a cable every time you want to use your phone, which if we are being honest, is no hardship. This just speeds up and therefore simplifies the process off using your phone on your bike.

[@celsocarvalho1113]

No more QuadLock. Their mount is the reason of my mobile’s issues because of vibration. They recognized the problem and issued a solution - that you have to buy, instead of receiving it at home with an excuses letter. That’s preposterous. When this wireless charging unit fails, the same will happen, and QuadLock will get money from customers twice again.
