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 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.

    • Thanks for response. Leak was right under drivers seat or thereabout.   Had checked by other mechanics and have read other information.   The solution can be a tad complicated and replacing multiple parts And with some.  The issue was still the same.   The brakes do work.   Just that the pedal is softer and goes further down.  But the brakes do work. 
    • Breaking News!    I'm going to tell you that I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I told  you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm about to tell you on the other side of the break.  Then we're going to break. Then I'm not going to tell you what I told you I was going to tell you.  But I'll tell you something else that is Breaking News just coming to the desk that everyone reported on yesterday.  Then I'll tease a human interest telling I'll get to on the other side of a larger break. Then I'll tell you one item in 20 seconds and go back to an even longer break. Longest break of the night.  Then I'll tell you a fluff piece that takes 10 seconds and sign off into a three minute break while you wait for the next 30 minutes of rinse and repeat on the local news.    In al you'll get about 12 minutes of something, 5 minutes of which is worth hearing in a 30 minute show and 18 minutes of advertising at a sound level twice as loud as the news.    Of course you can switch to cable news and hear 12 different people tell the same four stories in much the same format as the Network News for 20 hours of which the majority will be advertising.  And four hours of late night Specials about things you wonder why you stayed up to listen to. Half of which will be repeats.....   OR you can go for a drive  
    • Did you ever figure this out? My 2022 Trail Boss, and now my 2026 LT did this from time to time.  I believe it was more connected to Android Auto and my phone being the cause. Maybe try going for a drive, sans cell phone.... and see if it happens? 
    • I have a 2026 Silverado LT, the non bose as well.  Upgrading the door speakers is pretty straightforward. You could honestly go to walmart, or Auto Zone/ O Reilly and get a set of 6x9s for the front, and 6.5s for the rear. You do also have to get some adapters for each, but they are like $10 a pair on Amazon. Then some plug and play harnesses that are about $10 a pair on Amazon as well.  And I would also suggest a 10 pack of the Amazon Basics sound deadening. Slap that all around the speakers and on the open metal of the inside of the door. And your golden.   I am currently doing this with my Silverado. Although I am having a bit of trouble because I am snooby I guess and bought some Alpine S2 S69c's which are 2 way components and I am having to wire from the door up to the dash....  Having never installed speakers before, its taking me just a bit to get everything correct. But if you dont buy expensive component speakers, and just some $40-$50 door speakers. You will DRASTICALLY improve the sound over these stock paper cone junk speakers. I thought my Silverado had an issue with the radio/ sound for a while.  Come to find out.  The stock speakers are just THAT SH*TTY   I cannot wait to have some decent sound in the truck   What did you end up doing?
    • Its all automatic based on yaw sensor data.  If enough incline is detected, it engages.   My recommendation though would be to disengage it before driving off and not let it auto disengage by touching the gas pedal.  The HD trucks use the same setup as prior years, the drum in hat park brake.  But now with an electric actuator.  If you drive off repeatedly over time, it can torque the park brake shoes and can also prematurely wear them out.           Electric console shift will set the park brake on flat ground too.  Pretty sure they've got it programmed to activate every time.
