See the PDF file attached below this poor quality unformatted copy/paste list which phones are supposed to fit properly and charge in our trucks. You can read on the bottom 2 paragraphs some notes and phones that don't fit due to physical size. The new Galaxy S8 fits but the S8 plus does not according to GM.

Notes: 1) If phone does not charge, remove it from charger for 3 seconds and rotate phone 180 degrees. 2) Not all phones fit into all vehicle integrations. 3) Cases used on phones with built-in wireless charging capability may have reduced performance. 4) Do not use the wireless charging system with objects between the charger and the phone. 5) Phones that are longer than 150mm (approx 6 inches) may have reduced or no performance. 6) Phones that are not listed have not been evaluated for compatibility.

 

Incompatible Phones Due to Physical Size: 1) Samsung Galaxy S6 Active 1) Apple iPhone 6 Plus, 7 Plus 2) Samsung Galaxy S7, S7 Active 2) Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus 3) Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge 4) Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus 5) Samsung Note 5, Note 7 G

Do you have a case on the s8 plus?(If so which one) I'm going tomorrow for new phones and was going with the regular s8 so I can use the wireless charging feature. I know some hate it, but I like it and use it everyday on my way home.Thanks..

I have a S7, and it charges fine in my truck....

 

...because I installed my own 3-coil wireless charger under the mat. :)

Ditto. Even charges in an Otterbox. Sometimes it does move off the pad though.

 

But I have the bench seat. I'm not sure the phone fits in the bucket seat console. I know my last phone (Note 4) didn't fit in the bucket console but did in the bench console.

I don't get what all the fuss is about charging. My Samsung s7 lasts almost 2 days. No need to charge it slowly on a wireless pad. Mine is plugged in to usb for android auto all the time anyway. Glad a few different solutions have surfaced for those with bigger phones who want the feature

The phones will charge on the charging pad, they are just too large to seat themselves in the proper spot with a case on them. I have a 2016 with the Qi pad, and it worked fine with my S7Edge and also works for my S8+. I'll try to get you a pic this evening when I leave the office.

If you angle the top bezel of the phone at downward angle with the top bezel pointing toward the front of the truck, with the bottom bezel raised outside of the pad, the phone will not slip, and it will also charge flawlessly. But, since the Qi pads aren't fast charging, I'd recommend getting you a fast travel charger and use your AC/DC jack that should also be built into your center console. I only use the wireless charger if I don' need some juice quickly. I forgot what the output rating of the pads are, but it's not very high.

I hope that makes sense.

    • I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 LS, whenever I put it into reverse and also in drive it clunks, the truck also feels sluggish when driving. Any advice/ideas ?
    • Looks like it's riveted to me. What is wrong with that 1? Welcome to the Forum!
    • Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
