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

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      Thanks, all. It sounds like keeping the software "as is" is the best course of action.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overengineering   Excerpt from the above link: (BTW the above is a 90 second read)   [Quote]   A story about very precise engineering is given in the 1858 story The Deacon's Masterpiece or, the Wonderful "One-hoss Shay": A Logical Story by Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr., which tells of a carriage (one-horse shay) Because it had been engineered so that no single piece failed first – no piece was over-engineered relative to the others, and they thus all collapsed at the same time. A similar quote by Ferdinand Porsche claimed "the perfect race car crosses the finish line in first place and immediately falls into pieces."[5]   [End Quote}   By Engineering's  own definition then; the AFM and Torque Converters, 4-5-6 clutch assembly of the 6L80E, and a dozen other common chronic parts and systems failures are "UNDER ENGINEERED". And by their own definition done so with INTENT. Ya can't have it both ways OEM's.

      Broke Down on the Mountain

      By Gangly · Posted

      I was in Utah this week attempting a bow hunt in the Wasatch mountains with friends.  On the evening of the first hunt, making my way across a ridge to a friends camp, the upper control arm on the driver's side separated, the CV axle got trashed, and the wheel was dang near at a 45 degree angle to the ground.  I was able to get it towed off the mountain and into town about 3:00 am, and spent the remainder of the night in an O'Reilly's parking lot.  Luckily, there was a Chevrolet dealership not to far away so I was able to get to the dealership and pick up a new CV and UCA.  It would have been a few days before they could have gotten to the truck and I brought tools with me on hunt since it was a two day drive to get there, so I did the repairs myself in the O'Reilly's parking lot.      What's interesting is that the UCA ball joint didn't break, it just popped out of the bottom of the UCA.  There was VERY LITTLE evidence of grease on the ball joint or in the socket, and you could see where the ball joint had warbled out part of the socket over time.  I guess that's what happens over 186K miles of use :)   Big Kudos to O'Reilly's for letting me work on the truck in their parking lot.  However, they made a $150+ off of me from the purchase of various tools, so I guess it was in their best interest anyways :)   Getting towed off the mountain.   UCA Ball Joint Socket   Trashed CV   Suspension disconnected and UCA and CV Removed   New UCA and CV installed with the suspension buttoned up.

      What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

      By KARNUT · Posted

      My family still laughs at me when they see me drive up in the minivan. Same with less than a V-8 truck. It helps that I have choices. I don’t think I could only have a minivan as the one and only vehicle as much as I like it. And I wouldn’t pass up a good buy on an older V-8 reg cab GM truck. Could you live Raven as the only ride?
