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

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

      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.
