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.

      It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Hdwrguy · Posted

      So after reading the reveal from Chevrolet, I kept asking myself...why did the trim levels change?   Here are the official ones:   Work Truck (WT): The quintessential fleet truck, built with durable, easy-to-clean interiors for commercial or utilitarian use. Custom: A stylish, road-oriented trim that adds a more refined appearance, standard dual exhaust, and modern exterior styling. Custom Trail Boss: An entry-level off-roader featuring a 2-inch factory suspension lift and 34-inch mud-terrain tires on a budget. Silverado: Serving as the new base consumer truck (replacing the previous LT trim), it comes standard with the Z71 off-road package when equipped with 4WD. Trail Boss: Steps up the off-road hardware with the 2-inch lift, 34-inch tires, monotube shocks, an exclusive off-road hood, and more premium interior options. ZR2: The flagship off-roader. It boasts 35-inch mud-terrain tires, Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear electronic lockers, forged carbon-fiber interior accents, and an available hardcore Bison Edition (co-developed with AEV). High Country: The pinnacle of luxury. It replaces bright chrome with modern satin chrome, 22-inch wheels, premium leather, real wood interior trim, a panoramic sunroof, and an exclusive front-passenger touchscreen. As others have stated, why would you want a Silverado - 'Silverado' - wth?? LT needs to remain!!!   Also, there will no longer be a dedicated Z71 model.  All 4x4 trucks will have the Z71 package. Carplay is also something that cannot be removed.  Hopefully it will remain.     I am excited about the 5.7L V8 (350 C.I.D.)  Old school Chevy power.  My only concern is whatever version of AFM/DFM cylinder deactivation.  Too bad that isn't an option a buyer can choose to have or not.   I will definitely be stopping by my local dealership when these trucks start showing up.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      The not as clean as one would assume theme with the new engine oil, that reminds me of comments over the years with mechanics not always being so on board with filling an oil filter, not from the center anyway due to that typically being the clean side of the filter, danger of some contaminant falling into the filter if not careful but the realization now that the oil may not be as pure as one had assumed it would surely be. Yes it would be possible to fill from the small holes but that means messing with something to prop open the anti drain back valve if the filter is so equipped and not damage that valve in the process. Me, I have hardly ever prefilled an engine oil filter however I have prefilled diesel fuel filters with a filter on a fuel bulk tank and for anyone that has messed with diesel engines with filters and units that have a limited or no way of priming them, putting on a dry filter is a bad day to say the least with those crappy systems. But anyway back to not so clean engine oil, indeed perhaps its not so bad after all that I have not made a practice of prefilling oil filters.    As Grumpy Bear commented on keeping things clean, that I really have to wonder what the typical practice is at a dealer or any other shop that changes engine oil, do they make sure to wipe or wash off the oil plug and certainly if it fell into some gunk or onto a dirty floor, or that they wiped the filter mounting flange and didn't go and use some dirty rag and end up adding dirt to the inside of the head of the filter mount. Or be careless in how they stored or handled the new filter and if they were bumping into items under the vehicle with the filter opening facing up and having dirt drop right into the filter and if so right into the threaded center that is on the clean side. The top side, did they clean away the built up gunk that may be around the filler before removing the cap or to be really careful at that point that something right close to the filler hole that was hidden under the caps flange won't fall into the engine. Or did they clean the funnel or was that just laying there covered in oil from the oil change before and dust kicked up from sweeping the floor stuck to the oil and now that will go running into the next persons engine due to just not cleaning the funnel as "they won't know anyway" attitude as that young guy is more worried about taking a break so he can go outside and smoke a joint. Just random points that came to mind when I think about what some hired personnel may do that the shop foreman has no idea of or perhaps the whole attitude of some shops may be "eh ... who cares, they will never know the difference anyway".
