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

      Breaking News!    I'm going to tell you that I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I told  you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm about to tell you on the other side of the break.  Then we're going to break. Then I'm not going to tell you what I told you I was going to tell you.  But I'll tell you something else that is Breaking News just coming to the desk that everyone reported on yesterday.  Then I'll tease a human interest telling I'll get to on the other side of a larger break. Then I'll tell you one item in 20 seconds and go back to an even longer break. Longest break of the night.  Then I'll tell you a fluff piece that takes 10 seconds and sign off into a three minute break while you wait for the next 30 minutes of rinse and repeat on the local news.    In al you'll get about 12 minutes of something, 5 minutes of which is worth hearing in a 30 minute show and 18 minutes of advertising at a sound level twice as loud as the news.    Of course you can switch to cable news and hear 12 different people tell the same four stories in much the same format as the Network News for 20 hours of which the majority will be advertising.  And four hours of late night Specials about things you wonder why you stayed up to listen to. Half of which will be repeats.....   OR you can go for a drive

      Audio Dampening and quiet

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      Did you ever figure this out? My 2022 Trail Boss, and now my 2026 LT did this from time to time.  I believe it was more connected to Android Auto and my phone being the cause. Maybe try going for a drive, sans cell phone.... and see if it happens?

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      I have a 2026 Silverado LT, the non bose as well.  Upgrading the door speakers is pretty straightforward. You could honestly go to walmart, or Auto Zone/ O Reilly and get a set of 6x9s for the front, and 6.5s for the rear. You do also have to get some adapters for each, but they are like $10 a pair on Amazon. Then some plug and play harnesses that are about $10 a pair on Amazon as well.  And I would also suggest a 10 pack of the Amazon Basics sound deadening. Slap that all around the speakers and on the open metal of the inside of the door. And your golden.   I am currently doing this with my Silverado. Although I am having a bit of trouble because I am snooby I guess and bought some Alpine S2 S69c's which are 2 way components and I am having to wire from the door up to the dash....  Having never installed speakers before, its taking me just a bit to get everything correct. But if you dont buy expensive component speakers, and just some $40-$50 door speakers. You will DRASTICALLY improve the sound over these stock paper cone junk speakers. I thought my Silverado had an issue with the radio/ sound for a while.  Come to find out.  The stock speakers are just THAT SH*TTY   I cannot wait to have some decent sound in the truck   What did you end up doing?

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By newdude · Posted

      Its all automatic based on yaw sensor data.  If enough incline is detected, it engages.   My recommendation though would be to disengage it before driving off and not let it auto disengage by touching the gas pedal.  The HD trucks use the same setup as prior years, the drum in hat park brake.  But now with an electric actuator.  If you drive off repeatedly over time, it can torque the park brake shoes and can also prematurely wear them out.           Electric console shift will set the park brake on flat ground too.  Pretty sure they've got it programmed to activate every time.
