I have a 2014 and retrofitted a usb charging coil which I ran to the usb connection in my console.  It charges my Galaxy S8 fine but once you use it for Pandora or Waze, the phone gets an error message for slow charge.  I wanted to try using a Samsung Fast Charge coil setup but was wondering if it would actually fast charge.  I think I may need to hardwire it using a fast charge usb port.  Has anyone tried this?

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

I haven't, however, I've read that you can't have a fast charging setup with 3 coils.  The original GM version of the charger was a single coil, whereas the 2018 version is a 3 coil version, which can provide a good interface for the coils and be more lenient on having a good position to deliver the maximum charge possible.  Perhaps they did this to address all the complaints from the single coil version about people not being able to find the "sweet spot" on the charging pad for the phone to stay charging?  

 

I guess what I'm trying to say is that even if you have a fast charging custom setup with the proper power hookup, if the phone isn't exactly aligned for that single coil, you might not see full advantage of the faster charging?  I might be wrong about fast chargers only being single coil, but I don't think I've seen a fast charger yet that is 3 coil?  

 

On my other wireless chargers I've used at home, I've found that if you don't have a high enough powered USB power supply, the pad can act finicky.  Even if your car adapter says 2.1A, a lot of them aren't right and don't truly put out that power.  You might want to test your current with a amperage tester or perhaps try another power source, which could help you with the slow charge issue?

For the guys that went the oem route, I have a 2015 Sierra slt and doing the oem wireless charging route. So now I’m trying to figure where does the connector coming from the lid plug into in the center console? I’ve looked at both a 15 and 17 and both have the same harness pn:23211330.

There is a disconnect on the rear panel of the console. So the main harness will have a branch out at the rear where the new lid will plug into.

I did the same thing. Took apart a cheap wireless fast charger I bought for $13 on amazon. Put it in my center console between two pieces of plastic so when my phone is in the little tray, it charges. I have no issues with running apps and power loss.

Going into the dealership today for them to examine wireless charger not functioning.
Hopefully they will replace with 2018 unit under warranty as it has never worked for me.

Big shoot out to pgamboa and his video.  I was going crazy as to why my iPhone X would not charge in my 2016. I just got my 2018 module and ordered the new conncector.  Took about 15 minutes to put everything together and pin the new connector, now everything works like a charm.  I did not rotate my mat, and i can charge as long as the phone is touching the back stop.

 

I do have a 2016 module for sale...if anyone wants a nice paperweight. LOL

Thanks! I’ve got 2 modules doing a fine job holding some papers down on my desk. Lol.

I know what you mean. I'm just hoping to recoup some of that $100 from ebay with my old charging module. lol

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
