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.

 

Revision: April 26, 2017 Phone Manufacturer Phone Model Built-In Wireless Charging Recommended Case / Back Cover Apple iPhone 4/4s Energizer Model: IC-IP4G Apple iPhone 5/5s Aircharge MFi Qi iPhone 5S / 5 Wireless Charging Case AIR0191 Duracell/Powermat REC000078 CHOETECH Qi Standard Wireless Charger Receiver Case for iPhone 5/5s Apple iPhone 6/6s iPhone 7 BEZALEL Latitude [Qi + PMA] Dual-Mode Universal Wireless Charging Receiver Case Aircharge MFi Qi iPhone 6S / 6 Wireless Charging Case HTC Incredible2 HTC6350-WLDR LG Nexus 4 X Built-in / Not Required LG Nexus 5 X Built-in / Not Required LG Spectrum 2 X Built-in / Not Required Motorola Droid 4 Motorola Model: MOTDRD4-WLDR Motorola Droid Bionic Motorola Model: MOTBIO-WLDR Motorola Droid Maxx X Built-in / Not Required Motorola Droid Mini X Built-in / Not Required Motorola Moto X Incipio model: MT231 Nokia Lumia 920 X Built-in / Not Required Nokia Lumia 928 X Built-in / Not Required Nokia Lumia 830 / 930 X Built-in / Not Required Nokia Lumia 950 / 950 XL X Built-in / Not Required Samsung Galaxy S3 Duracell/Powermat: REC000072 Samsung Galaxy S4 Samsung Model: EP-CI950IWK Incipio Model: SA-069-SLV; SA-069-BLK Samsung Galaxy S5 Samsung model: EP-VG900BBU Samsung model: EP-CG900IBA Samsung Galaxy S6 X Built-in / Not Required Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge X Built-in / Not Required Samsung Galaxy S8 X Built-in / Not Required

 

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 an s8+ and it works...slow speigen slim case, bottom of the phone propped up on back of the armrest.

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

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.

    • Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.  
    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
