    Hi! My dog knocked over my coffee and spilled about 8 ounces of it in the center console area where the phone sits to be charged. I was unable to get to it quick enough and watched it drain into the area. I don't use the charger but is there anything else I need to be concerned about getting wet under there?

    Wet things dry, so, make sure it's dry before you drive the car, Just sayin'. I don't know what is down there, either. If there is sugar in your coffee that might gum something up, but I don't know. Better to ask a mechanic what is down there, if anything. I've spilled coffee there, too, a couple of years ago (but I drink coffee black). And I don't remember any consequences. I just wiped it and kept on driving. But, I never use the charger, since the back of my phone has a magnetic strip which I use to adhere the phone to the dashboard ( instead of a grip cradle ) so I can't use the charger because of it, I have to use a USB cable.
