No. GM's parts system lists the "big chin" mat for 2018. Obviously, this is not correct! I said screw it, and made my own from two big chin mats. Looks OEM.

where did you cut the mat to do it. Need some details on this!. Also that brushed looks good and matches the axiom finish in my sierra. I aint paying 50.00 for it tho...LOL to hell with that!

 

I was just told from my parts guy that the 2018 charging mat P/N is 84199943.  The previous charging mat is 23264395.  The new mat is VERY expensive compared to the previous mat.  The new mat lists for $103.52 and previous mat lists for $9.55.  Gmpartsdirect.com has the new mat $67.08 and the old mat at $6.19.  I ended up ordering one to see why it's so expensive so we will see.

Holy moly! It’s gotta be the extra ridge. LOL. Let us know.

Got a 2018 Suburban without Wireless charging. They don't offer it as an option or accessory from parts.  So I took apart the center console and it seems that in order to add the GM version, you need to replace a harness that runs from the front from a BCM presumably all the way to the back in order to have the port to plug the harness from the wireless charger into.  Parts guy saw there were two harnesses but couldn't confirm if that would be enough to solve for the problem.  Then I also remembered the 2018 I rented over the holidays was a bit finicky with the placement of my iPhone X.  So I looked for aftermarket.  So for those without wireless charging now or even those looking to upgrade your charging to work with iPhone X or 8, here is an other option: Brandmotion 1273 

 

It took me about an hour to install.  Probably not even.  It was really easy.  Tapped into power at the BCM under the steering wheel.  I did make some wiring modifications compared to their instructions to avoid drilling holes they wanted drilled.  But this thing works flawlessly! And I like the Blue light that turns green when the phone is charging.  Instant visual feedback.  I have not had any issues with it keeping the phone charging.  

 

Just thought I'd share another option for those of you looking.  I was hoping to replicate the OEM set up, but between the growing cost, the possible roadblocks and the potential for it to be a bit touchy, I settled for this option, and I recommend it highly.

I spent the better part of a week outfitting my 2017 GMC Canyon Denali with the 2018 GM #13521066 charger. Phil (pgamboa) went cruising and his harness parts went on back order so I obtained the plug and connected it myself. Pretty green light illuminated when charging. I want to thank Phil publically for his communication and skills in the charger conversion as he is an asset to this forum. Yesterday, I traded the 2017 GMC Canyon Denali in on a 2018 GMC Sierra Denali which has the larger charging pad and Qi. Now, can you believe that? What the?

Did you take the 18 charger out and replace it with the original in case you need it later?  

No. It wasn't worth my time as mine is now under warranty.

I got my plug a few days ago and the charger today. Installed in less than 15 min. Everything works great!

How’s the charge speed? Is it as fast as the wired charge?

Not nearly as fast as a wired charger.  My rate is around 10-12% per hour.

Received my module plus new connector.  Of all the bad luck one of the pins broke and now I have to figure out where and how to get a crimp female connector for 22awg.  No Radio Shacks available any more.  Anyone have a suggestion how to get a couple of the connector pins?

Mouser Electric has the red plug connector and the pins. The red plug is 571-2035363-4. The pins are 571-1924955-1.

Just received my 571-2035363-4 from mouser. Re-pinned from the old plug and voila! I literally watched a 2 min video on how to re-pin on YouTube and I figured it out. So easy!

Well, I'm having the same problem as everyone else. I took my truck in for scheduled service and had them check the charging pad and it has power to it but it wouldn't charge either my phone or anyone elses doing the service work. Then we checked in an 2018 and my phone and the service persons charged just fine in that. They said it was because I have the Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus that isn't compatible as they gave me that list  that they have put out for everyone. Its never worked since I bought the truck late last year.

Ok, what do I need to do for my charging pad to work?

Swap it out for the 2018 module. Part # 13521066. You’ll either need to repin the connector since it won’t fit the new module or order my Retrofit Harness for $25.

    • I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 LS, whenever I put it into reverse and also in drive it clunks, the truck also feels sluggish when driving. Any advice/ideas ?
    • Looks like it's riveted to me. What is wrong with that 1? Welcome to the Forum!
    • Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
