I tried my new iPhone X tonight.  Could not get it to work. 

Did you do the rubber mat rotated 180° mod?

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

No I haven’t rotated it. I thought about pulling off the rubber piece to see if it is an issue of placement.  I might try that.

That is why we have been asking if we can get updated chargers or console lids from the 2018 model trucks.

Yes I saw that. It does not explain why though. It may be as simple as a placement issue.  Apple does not say what part of the Qi spec is not followed by GM. I know it is a long shot but I figured I would give it a try.

I found it somewhere.. I can't seem to find it now... if I remember correctly it has to do with the difference in wattage output in 2017 and lower model year vehicles; the iphone x requires a higher input wattage to start and maintain the charging process.  After you go through all the trouble, you will get the iphone x to connect for a few seconds and then disconnect and it won't continue charging.

 

 

Best of luck, though.  If you get different results please report back!

Ah, dang you went further than I did.  I will probably still give it a shot.  Last night I couldn’t even get it to start charging.

Thanks.  

 

Dang. Good to know though.  Currently I have an S6 with an otterbox case, which is too big for the mat as others have pointed out. However, the phone is due for a replacement.

 

Def interested in a lid mod and/or software update that will look ok.

From what I can ascertain, the lids are the same. The charger bezels are the same, but the rubber insert, and the charger itself is different. I have the VIN from a friends 2018, and I plan to see if I can get some part numbers and prices for the 2018 specific charger and rubber pad. Not sure if the charger will be compatible with the 2017 truck.

In my console take apart and observation, the charger itself needs a Battery Positive Voltage and Ground. I would imagine the lids being physically the same, we could potentially swap the actual charger itself. I know similar mods actually do this using the same incoming power voltage.

Also curious on part #s.

I have a mount for my phone and cable but it be nice to extend the charging lid feature to my passenger.

Yeah i took it apart and tried it with my iPhone X. I was wondering if distance from the charger was an issue.  Still didn’t work.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case." The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik   If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.

      Transmission jumping out of gear while driving.

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      Probably a one and done post, but do you have a CEL on the dash? Was having issues with my transmission, fortunately only a week, and it turned out to be the transmission harness. Valve body was in good shape, so new harness with all the sensors attached, new fluid, and filter. Seems to have worked so far?

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Atlas · Posted

      Two interesting tidbits of information which are NOT related were just released.   One, regarding the possible thrust bearing issues / engine failures with the 3.0. Demonworks just did a segment in which they believe they may have found "a" or "the" cause of thrust bearing failures: A missing thrust bearing. If the engine doesn't have all its thrust bearings from the factory, the missing bearing can cause extra play which ends up destroying a nearby thrust bearing which then sends metal through the engine.       Of other importance, Lake Speed Jr released some interest information regarding oil weight selection for the 3.0. Comparisons of:   AcDelco 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w30 Mobil 1 ESP x4 0w40. Mobil Delvac 5w40   Spoiler alert: The Mobils are PAO Ester -base and the ACDelco is a Group III base. Mobil shows lower wear in their tests for similar weights. Additive packages between 20-30-40 weight ESP's appear to be the same, but only 0w20 is Dexos D licensed. Wear is even more reduced with 30 and 40 weight ESP although all perform very well and resist shear and provide very similar viscosities within temperature operating ranges in the 3.0.   There are even more surprises, so just go watch it.
