Went to the dealer yesterday to have them install the revised 2017 module.
Didn't fix anything, same exact situation.

Will be calling GM customer care back and continuing to pursue this.
Will continue to update here.

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

What were the part numbers listed on the service order?

You are one patient man!  My time and aggravation is worth more than the 100 bucks I spent on the dang thing.  

 

By the way, there is no "revised 2017 module".

Original 2017 module is part # 23248791.

Revised 2017 module that was installed under warranty is part # 84162497.
2018 module I've been requesting is part # 13521066.


The 2017 Escalade's are having the same problem and using 13521066 as their replacements as well.

"We dug deeper and found out that the charging pads on GM vehicles support both of the wireless charging standards: Qi and PowerMat. But it seems that GM’s implementation of Qi is not complete. Though we haven’t confirmed this, we assume that the incompatibility is the result of GM rushing the technology to market in order to be the first automaker to have cars with wireless charging. In doing so, it seems that the automaker used an early or incomplete spec of the Qi standard.

Adding some insult to injury, it doesn’t appear that this is an issue that can be fixed with a software update. Instead, it’s a hardware limitation that will live on with the vehicles forever."

Open the owners manual and you will see GMC claimed our vehicles were QI spec when sold.
They then created an approved devices list to try and cover themselves retroactively at the beginning of 2018.
GMC marketed our vehicles as Qi compatible but yet Apple has said they dont meet Qi compatibility standards.

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208148
"The implementations of wireless charging in 2017 and earlier models from Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC do not meet the requirements for Qi certification. These models do not work with iPhone X, iPhone 8, and iPhone 8 Plus. "

Class action litigation seems quite possible.

Come on man - seriously?

Certainly, its called consumer fraud and deceptive marketing.
You claim something in order to sell a product, then it better be true.


Not many vehicles owners have the mindset or time to pursue things like this, but how great would it be if litigation resulted in all 2017 GMC owners receiving notice in the mail and getting a direct, hassle free replacement that actually works as advertised.
Its not right that so many people get screwed because no one will take the time to address a legitimate issue.
Consider that this topic has 32,000 viewings and growing and are mostly only Sierra owners, GM did this across the board on all 2017 models.
Not everyone uses forums either. How many people across the US have gotten the short end of the stick here? Alot.

Class action. Really? Come on man. Spend the hundred and save yourself the frustration and aggravation. No attorney is going to touch something with no possibility of a monster payout. To each his/her own though. Sue on my GM brother.

Removed the module battery on my 2017 and it works perfect on my iphone 8, took about 10 minutes.

What "module battery"?  What did you do to get it to work?

Oh geez.  GM would find a thousand loopholes to skate around responsibility; i.e. blaming it on the phone manufacturer for changing specs, software, design, etc.  They could even claim protective cases impede the charging.  There are WAY too many variables at play here to prove GM knowingly prevented some vehicles and/or phones from charging properly.

 

Perhaps you'd find quicker satisfaction by setting up a GoFundMe so you can buy a module.  Hell, if all of us who've told you to buy one and move on contributes just a couple bucks, you'd have one by now! :thumbs:

jhbrennan, there are directions with pictures in one of the threads but basically you open the console lid, remove the bottom cover, remove the module and open the module, remove the magnet, looks like tiny battery then reverse the procedure to put everything back together.

Thanks - but there is no tiny battery in the module...are you referring to the small magnet that sits in the middle of the coil?

There is no battery. So you mean the antenna that sits on top of the magnet and coil?

 

A lot of people, including me, removed that and still have the same issue

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By contrabombarde · Posted

      I went through again with a test light and everything checked out.    I suppose it could be the MAF itself but I've tried 3 different sensors, 2 of which were in running vehicles previously (the one in this truck, and the one in the donor truck), as well as a new one I picked up from NAPA. I would just be surprised if all 3 were bad.   EDIT/UPDATE: I swapped in the MAP sensor that was originally with the 2010 PCM, that made the code for map sensor voltage high Go away, and the map sensor seems to read normal with key on engine off (14psi or so), but it still doesn't run and does the same thing as before.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By Atlas · Posted

      In addition to a cell or wifi connection, the infotainment needs to be enabled to download software updates. That's a toggle within the system settings.   But...if the truck was prevented from receiving updates in a past life, missing a bunch of updates may mean it won't go back and download all of those because they're not available or the system is too far out of date.   If a formal recall depends on a software update, the recall for that truck remains in an open status until it's applied. The dealer would need to apply the software update in that instance.   Most updates downloaded and applied via the infotainment aren't recalls/safety recalls, they're enhancements and usability fixes which aren't critical.

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By Vu1can · Posted

      Recently I've been getting a message, "New Brake Pads Detected. Reset Brake Pad Life?", But I haven't had the pads replaced and the truck only has 28,000 miles. The Brake Pad Life shows Front 64% and Rear 79%. I select NO to resetting the brake pad life and the message goes away but comes back at the nest restart.   I stopped by the dealer and was told that it sounds like a software glitch that would require reprogramming. Even though I have the extended warranty, they tell me that reprogramming is not covered unless a module was actually bad and needed to be replaced. Simply reprogramming is not covered. So, they want $200.00 just to diagnose the problem. If it turns out no bad module, another charge on top of that to do the reprogramming. If the cause was an actual bad module, everything would be covered under the warranty.   Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Should this issue be covered under the warranty?   Thanks

      NHT is diesel only, correct.     The GVWRs for NHT on 3/4 ton bring them to the same numbers as many of the 2WD 1 tons.  A crew 4x4 standard 3/4 with NHT is 11,750lbs, a 1 ton same cab/box/4x4 is 12,100lbs.     Hubs and hub bearings are the same for 11.5" and 12" axles.  Housing, diff carrier and ring/pinion are larger for the 12".   All gas use the 11.5" axle, 3/4, 1 ton and 1 ton DRW.
