Just for reference....recalls are reserved for issues that are deemed to potentially compromise safety.  Wireless charging hardly qualifies.

 

You can probably bark up the right tree long enough and loud enough to get GM to give you a module as a goodwill gesture.  I tried for a while and got tired of having to re-explain the issue to every single person I spoke to and they just kept referring to the "approved devices" list anyway.

 

I just spent the 100 bucks and bought my own module.  Been happily charging ever since!

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

Phil let me know when you have an adapter available again.
Whether I get a 2018 module out of pocket or under warranty this will definitely be replaced.
This should honestly be a recall for our trucks, very dishonest to advertise something and to become aware it isn't working and then even try to  cover it up with an "Approved Devices" list post date.

Mouser updated the Backorder status and now says they are backordered until May! I am on vacation on Thursday 2/22 - 2/28. When I get back, I am exploring an alternative method for a PnP harness.

You are right with regards to a safety recall, it should be a service bulletin to be specific.


Its not about the $100 to me. Its about the fact they sold brand new trucks with the wireless charging feature that was under-engineered by any wireless charging standard, Ive never seen a single coil in ANY wireless charger device, and used it as a modern selling point and then act like its not their problem and try to create deniability with some "approved devices" list over a year later. And they know that they were faulty, because the very next year are putting in standard 3 coil devices that work as they should rather than more single coil dogshit ones. Its got me more heated than the wonderful seats set to high setting in our trucks.

Just installed my 2018 charging module and wiring harness furnished by pgamboa.  Thanks to everyone for pointing me to this solution.  The charger works on my iPhone X like a champ even with the Otter Box Defender.

Hi All,

 

I signed up specifically to respond to this topic. I have an SLE '16 Yukon XL that didn't come with wireless charging. I have the service manuals for it and the connector that is use to connect the charge unit is not present. I seems I would need an upgraded harness to get the added connector. I hand verified that the connector is not present behind the rear trim console piece.

 

My question is, has anyone attempted to install into a truck that didn't have the OEM to start with and if so did it work and the charge bolt show up on the screen after the upgrade? I know the signal travels from the wireless module to the BCM to the HMI then to the display.

 

Thanks,

Chris

My module shipped today. Now to figure out the wiring harness

Me too - never thought the module would be here before the wiring harness - guess we just have to be patient with Phil and his suppliers.

Just one supplier... Mouser. Lol. I am on vacation tomorrow, but when I get back, I’ll be looking at a different mating connector elsewhere and will try to source that if it’s available.

I can make the Splice version now, Like i did when I first started this project.

Chris,

I landed the charge indicator circuit (lightening bolt icon) into the BCM and it doesn’t show the icon on the radio when charging.

If you didn’t have wireless charging before, I am ask looking at a harness alternative to go inline to the rear cigarette light plug.

You can certainly add it. If you already have a center console, remove the main grey 42-pin plug at the front. Pin #7 is allocated for the charging matt power.

I recommend to everyone to just get the splice-in pigtail so you don't have to wait.  No one will ever tell and it works great.  Just takes a little more "work" it install.

This is one option my 2015 SLT does not have. If I order a module an get power to it, (tons of power in my console) will it fit under my lid?

BlkSS - based on my experience and the fact that the vehicle still has a warranty, waiting for the proper pigtail makes switching back easy if needed.  Not to mention the ease of the switch over.  Was worth the wait for me.  YMMV.

So the icon won't show even if the pin is grounded? I wonder if the BCM has programming that says to ignore it. I always figured to pick up 12v and ground from the lighter if I did an aftermarket version but the charge indicator is something I'd like to see work. I will review the connects you mentioned......have a safe vacation. Best, Chris

      Joke Thread

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      By revmanii · Posted

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
