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

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all the help so far!   I did try right from 2026 right down to 2021, and only from 2023 down lets me select the option for tire psi change, but I get the vehicle not supported error!   I'll definitely try it under Chevrolet after work today, and I'll get the sensor number from gm for my truck tire sensors. And I'll let you know if it works for me under Chevrolet!   And if that doesn't work, I'm going to guess that what @Atlas said about maybe I have a different body control module could be true!

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      True, hard to say what differences there may or may not be between Chev and GM as well as a production year or mid year part change either.    I just found it odd that under the Sierra choice on the Autel that many of the last few years of production year did not include the choice of changing the tire pressure but if that is an Autel thing or a GM thing as to why the choices were not there. Knowing what tpms sensors are on the truck should give some guidance into which choices on the tool even make sense to try as I wouldn't give up just yet with the tool but I guess he will see what if anything he comes up with if he finds out a bit more info and tries a few more things on the Autel.
