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.

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
