. If I take the case off its iffy.

Mine I can't just toss it into the tray.

 

When the S7 is pushed to the rear of the tray it will charge, it doesn't charge if the phone is pushed to the front of the tray.

 

Nice that the radio screen indicates when it is charging.

Mine will charge without the case if its all the way to the back and slightly up the back incline. Not worth the aggravation to me. If I need to charge I have a Verizon mobile charger. or the turbo charger plugged into the 120 outlet. Have to use that for something. :)

What is everyone getting for charging times on these and the hardwire usb connection straight to your phone if you checked. I have the Samsung Galaxy s7 and when it was a 8% it said it would take over 5 hours to fully charge... Read the same on the wireless pad and usb connections to the phone (in the console and on the dash connections)

I have an S5 Neo and I would say it charges about the same as any other USB.

 

*Note USB 1.0 is 1amp and USB 2.0 is 2.1amp so it does charge faster on a better USB port. I think these are USB 2.0 but I honestly have not checked (just would be silly to make them 1.0 in this day and age since they actually do data too but same could be said for them not being 3.0 which is even better and readily available) . Wireless charging is less than 1amp so its like a trickle charge.

I don't bother with the wireless charging since I have to plug in to usb for android auto. But it will work on my s7 about every fifth try if I put it just off the back edge. It is a worthless feature since I have to take the case off my phone for it to work.

I have the S7 Edge and it'll charge much faster than 5 hours from dead. You could rewire your setup to use the following bits which will give you "fast wireless charging" on your S7.

 

Charger (FYI their statement that the S7/Edge adapter won't work with this is false. It does work):

For the USB adapter you can break the case apart and use the circuit board only to reduce the size if you need.

I'm glad I don't have the OEM wireless charger in my '15. Gives me the easy ability to upgrade as hardware gets better. For example, I just recently switched out the charging pad for a fast wireless charger pad. Big improvement.

What fast wireless charger did you use?

min are not the fast ones like your. looks like i will be upgrading mine. There is a part 2 for connecting power to the back of the console

DIY wireless charging Chevy Truck $13
This is the one that i used in this video
CHOE Qi Wireless Charger Kit for Galaxy S4 / S IV/ I9500 (Wireless Charging Pad and Receiver Included)
Link: http://amzn.com/B00C40OG22If you have any questions feel free to ask them
here is a link to the charger that i used you might even find it cheaper.
Link: http://amzn.com/B00C40OG22 (Choetech T511 7.5W Qi Wireless Charging Pad)
if your phone has wireless charging capabilities this will work.
also if you want to skip the step with the tie wrap i found out that you can just pull the under side off the console by prying them apart there are no screws that hold them together.

I bought an OEM lid off EBay with the charger, it has 3 wires - yellow, black and green. Does anyone have the wiring schematic or know which are power and ground plus what the 3rd wire is?

3rd is probably a signal wire to tell the radio to display the symbol which indicates that the system is 'charging'.

      It's possible the two trucks are using different body control modules which is why yours works and the OP's doesn't.   So much in these newer vehicles depends on model/trim configurations, production date. They don't all use the same modules like back in the day.

      I forgot to answer the question as per what market mine is set to and yes I finally found that area on mine and yes its also set to America.   So here's something I realized as I wasn't looking at that part in the Sierra section until now, your right that what I see here as choice 3 under Sierra which says 07/2023-06/2026 ( 433 MHz 13542523 ) it has no choice 5 for tire pressure selection. Where as it does under the Chev choice. However I kept going down the list within the Sierra and I am really wondering if choice 9 will work for your truck as it has the same model number and hertz sensor as my truck. I would say try that choice first, if that doesn't work then jump over to the Chev section and again choose that same model and hertz choice as for some reason the Chev section gives the choice 5 of tire type/pressure selection for going back a number of years. Could very well be an Autel thing that they just didn't get the updates all done properly under Sierra but anyway first try that selection 9 I suggested under Sierra and then go from there.

      Anyone have a spare?

      Looking for this piece that holds the hose clamp in place. I have the hose clamp just not that other piece. Dealers and wrecking yards in my area will not sell just that piece. They want you to buy the whole air tube $100 +/- to get that $5 part.  that piece isn't molded to the air tube as I looked at my friends truck. It's held on by a screw and nut. I'm trying to put the OEM parts on the truck as the previous owner butchered things up installing an aftermarket CAI. It really looked homemade. 🤣 Thanks

      Ok I missed that part that yours is a GM. The strange part is that the choice for year ranges and within the year of 2026 is different on the Sierra then on the Chev for some reason as I am looking at my tool at the Sierra choices. Now I am guessing you see as to your sensor part number as it may be different on your truck for some reason and a call to GM should get you the part model number of the sensors you should have as well as which MHz your sensors are. I know mine are the ones as per what I listed but there are other choices in the Autel and got me wondering if by some chance they put different ones in your truck. Having said that, did you try using each of the choices starting from No 1 and going on down the list, not sure if that would mean shutting off the engine each time and resetting the tool and going at it again each time. Also I thought of something else which may sound retarded but if there was some stupid chance that the chev choice would work. The reason I say that is that the Sierra is showing a range up to 06/2026 for the various choices of sensors it could be where as the Chev has one choice that has that 12/2026. By the way it is possible to not run the truck and you may know that as per not pressing the brake but pressing and holding the start button for a few seconds and it lights up the dash ( its called service mode ) but that sucks battery power and if it were me doing it that way I would be throwing on a decent sized battery charger before doing it that way as killing your battery won't make you happy at me at all !.    Like I say, just a thought to try the Chev choices if you have already exhausted the Sierra choices but first it would be nice to know for sure what exact sensor model and hertz your truck uses as I assume only those choices that mention the sensor would work unless a choice that does not mention the sensor model would somehow work. Its frustrating when one is trying to use tools like this without the experience of the tool and the vehicle, as I am sure dealer techs themselves struggle with it when starting out or a new model year comes along that is slightly different.

      I tried before I updated the scan tool just incase an update messed it up, but it never worked so I updated the scan tool and it still didn't work.   Only difference is I click on Sierra not Chevrolet cause I have a Sierra.   If I click on 2026-2024 I didn't have any option to change placard, when I click on 2023 it does give me the option but when I try to do it,.it says vehicle not supported!   I have my region or market or whatever it is set to America I think, is that what yours is set to?
