Took my wifes 15 burb in for some work. Had them look to see why the wireless charging sucks. They told me her phone is one of the many not compatible. So i did some research.

Gm uses a shitty 1 coil setup.

Did some reading and someone recommended adding a nokia dt 900

 

Decided to try it on my 14 silverado. Found 1 on ebay for 13 bucks. Took me 20 minutes to do. Installed on center console lid, like oem. Real easy, through the plastic trim piece, rubber cover and my body glove for my phone phone charges wirelessly.

 

Now to upgrade my wifes.

 

Removed plastic piece, 6 torx screws. Trimmed 2 center nubs flush. Dissasembled nokia dt900 (need micro torx bit, real fn small i shaved down the skinniest flat head i had to make it work) stripped the wire, drilles hole and fished it out by the passenger side hinge.

Removed the rear cover to console, 4 torx screws. Tapped off the 12v cigerate lighter. Reassembled, just have to adjust pad for optimal placement.

My 17 burb sucked at first and would constantly flash power on and off when i received a notification. Either android or chevy changed something, as it's solid now. Good on you for your ingenuity though. Is it fast charge? I believe mine is slow charge.

Download ampere app on your phone and it tells you the amp max when charging.

Does the charging icon of the trucks infotainment display show up when your phone charges like with the factory setup?

My silverado never came with the feature. On my wifes suburban never noticed a charging icon and have not upgraded her coil yet. Where does it show this, can u post a pic plz
