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.

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
