  1. Got a 2018 Suburban without Wireless charging. They don't offer it as an option or accessory from parts. So I took apart the center console and it seems that in order to add the GM version, you need to replace a harness that runs from the front from a BCM presumably all the way to the back in order to have the port to plug the harness from the wireless charger into. Parts guy saw there were two harnesses but couldn't confirm if that would be enough to solve for the problem. Then I also remembered the 2018 I rented over the holidays was a bit finicky with the placement of my iPhone X. So I looked for aftermarket. So for those without wireless charging now or even those looking to upgrade your charging to work with iPhone X or 8, here is an other option: Brandmotion 1273 It took me about an hour to install. Probably not even. It was really easy. Tapped into power at the BCM under the steering wheel. I did make some wiring modifications compared to their instructions to avoid drilling holes they wanted drilled. But this thing works flawlessly! And I like the Blue light that turns green when the phone is charging. Instant visual feedback. I have not had any issues with it keeping the phone charging. Just thought I'd share another option for those of you looking. I was hoping to replicate the OEM set up, but between the growing cost, the possible roadblocks and the potential for it to be a bit touchy, I settled for this option, and I recommend it highly.
