Have S8+ with a case did this quick and easy just flip the rubber part and you're good to go

Because the charger is positioned toward the back, and with the way the pad is, the bumper on the backside pushes the phone forward away from the charger. So reversing the mat allows the phone to be p

The 2018 works just fine with my iPhone X.  I just went to the dealership and tested it out.  I got the part number for the 2018 wireless charger module which is 13507652.  The parts guy said that it

Never had an android, let alone an S7, but they dont because they are too big? Is the S8 same size or bigger or smaller?

 

I have an iPhone 6 Plus with a wireless charging case and it doesnt charge properly because its too big. If I get a newer iPhone, I am probably going with a non Plus.

On my 17, the only way my s7 will reliably charge is no case, and all of the nubs shaved from the chraging mat. It's not really anything to look forward to because the charge rate is terribly slow, the phone gets really hot, and it ends up on the floor when you access the console.

My S7 will only charge out of the case or if I have the outer plastic ring off of my case not sure why.

 

The charger in the trucks are weak. My S7 charges on the Samsung charger pad no issues.

 

Even out of the case the phone has to be placed in the correct spot and if it slides it will stop.

 

I wanted to tear the charge pad apart and see if I could make it work better but it is to big a pain in the butt to take it apart.

I've noticed this on my '17 and my S7 Edge. I don't know why GM didn't make the charger another half inch wider. (Or more)

 

Seems like no phone that I'll buy after this truck will really fit, since phones tend to grow each year :dunno:

Because they went with a cheap single coil charger, which dictates pad size.

 

My 3-coil retrofit charger charges my S7 in its silicone case without issue.

Just seems like it doesn't work for all that many phones now and I'd guess not for any phones made in 2017 or on. But you're probably right on the cost thing. Seems like a $50k plus truck it oughta work.

Even if it worked is it really a great benefit? I use Apple CarPlay which requires the USB which charges the phone too. Even with out Carplay it seems easier to set the phone in the front tray and use a small 3"USB and just plug it in. Doesn't fly around the truck that way when you take off too quick or need to hit the brakes hard. Not to mention having to use a clunky charger case.

Not sure how "grab end of cable, plug into phone, set phone in front tray" is easier than "drop phone flat on tray right next to arm". :)

 

I've never had my S6 or S7 fly around in or out of the tray regardless of acceleration or deceleration.

Well most Android phones have it built in. And you've got a good point on the Android Auto or Carplay thing.

 

I guess it just struck me as odd when I started looking into this issue that the answer 'round the web is either "No" or "who cares."

 

If this is my biggest issue with my truck I'll consider myself quite happy. :freak:

Good to know regarding the whole charging system. When I first saw it, I thought it was a must have gem..not so much anymore

My S7 charges fine on the pad

 

BUT

 

- I don`t have an external case

- the phone must be screen up, and pushed to the back of the charge tray

- so when I use it I set the bottom of the phone against the back of the tray area and then lay the phone down -- works every time

- if not properly placed or if it gets moved and the connection is broken then it must be removed completely from the pad before it will reestablish a connection

- tray charging is MUCH MUCH slower than using the cable, so if I`m concerned about getting it charged it gets connected to the USB

- the main reason it gets hooked up is if I want to use `live traffic`on google maps;

- if not needing charge and I don`t want live traffic, it probably stays in my pocket

- I leave the end of a usb cable sticking out thru the notch at the front of the storage bin so iféwhen it is needed it can be located without opening the bin lid

Maybe "easier" was the wrong term. As an iPhone user the pad is useless in my opinion. My iPhone has maybe not "flown" around but has come off and fallen in between the seat and console.

I have to turn my S7 so the front of the phone is facing the rear of truck. Doing this.. it works most the time. I also have a very thin, light case on the phone.

I just picked up the new S8+ today and it charges fine in my truck...I just have to put it on top of the rear lip of the charging pad for it to work. It fit fine in the cutout but wouldn't charge until I moved it up on the lip, Strange!!

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
