Wireless charging

Did you even scroll up? "Then ordered the brushed aluminum Yukon Denali trim ring (part number 23208761) "

obviously I missed that part [emoji106]

It will actually show on the phone screen "fast charging" Not sure if this is a Samsung thing, or an Android thing. Only certain wireless chargers can get it to fast charge mode, the original wireless charger in my 17 won't fast charge.

Yes, the little lighting bolt shows up on the screen. I didn’t know that’s what it meant; I just thought it was a charging indicator.

I performed the 2018 charger swap today. I also took two charger pads to make an exact copy of the impossible to find 2018 10 rib charger rubber mat. My Moto Z charged 33% in one hour, and was not finicky as the 2017 charger was. The charger was $113.75 from my dealer.

For anyone that has a 2016/2017 Charging Module and wants to upgrade to the 2018 Module.

I finally have a Plug and Play harness for this upgrade! My harness is an in-line harness.

Simply unplug the harness from the old module. Plug my harness in between and into the 2018 Module!

Doesn’t get any easier than this folks.

Big thanks to Phil (pgamboa) as I purchased the splice-in pigtail version of his harness back in December. Tuesday I finally received the 2018 module which had been on backorder and got everything installed that night in my 2016 Silverado. Everything works as it should as phone position is no longer an issue as it had been previously with my Samsung and it charges my phone faster than the 2016-17 module did. Last night I noticed it charges my wife's Samsung that has an Otterbox case even though it doesn't sit flush on the mat. I highly recommend this upgrade and Phil to everyone with a 2016 or 2017 with the wireless charging option.

This is not a solution, but a workaround. The Mophie case will also work. The solution is to swap over to the newer module.

I Just got the 2018 today with wireless charging. And I also have a Samsung S8 plus.
Yes it works!

Can someone with a ‘18 confirm a thicker wire isn’t being used on the harness?

AWESOME! So correct me if I'm wrong. This plus the upgraded charging module should charge an iphone 8 plus?

I have a 15.5 and can’t directly confirm exactly what you’re asking.

However, for a 2018 according to GM Service info, the 3 wires going into the wireless charger connector, both the accessory ignition voltage and the indicator control signal (pins 1 & 3, respectively) are listed as 22AWG. The ground (pin2), is listed as 18AWG.

GMSi also shows the same wire sizes, colors and positions for my 2015.5.
