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.

    • Breaking News!    I'm going to tell you that I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I told  you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm about to tell you on the other side of the break.  Then we're going to break. Then I'm not going to tell you what I told you I was going to tell you.  But I'll tell you something else that is Breaking News just coming to the desk that everyone reported on yesterday.  Then I'll tease a human interest telling I'll get to on the other side of a larger break. Then I'll tell you one item in 20 seconds and go back to an even longer break. Longest break of the night.  Then I'll tell you a fluff piece that takes 10 seconds and sign off into a three minute break while you wait for the next 30 minutes of rinse and repeat on the local news.    In al you'll get about 12 minutes of something, 5 minutes of which is worth hearing in a 30 minute show and 18 minutes of advertising at a sound level twice as loud as the news.    Of course you can switch to cable news and hear 12 different people tell the same four stories in much the same format as the Network News for 20 hours of which the majority will be advertising.  And four hours of late night Specials about things you wonder why you stayed up to listen to. Half of which will be repeats.....   OR you can go for a drive  
    • Did you ever figure this out? My 2022 Trail Boss, and now my 2026 LT did this from time to time.  I believe it was more connected to Android Auto and my phone being the cause. Maybe try going for a drive, sans cell phone.... and see if it happens? 
    • I have a 2026 Silverado LT, the non bose as well.  Upgrading the door speakers is pretty straightforward. You could honestly go to walmart, or Auto Zone/ O Reilly and get a set of 6x9s for the front, and 6.5s for the rear. You do also have to get some adapters for each, but they are like $10 a pair on Amazon. Then some plug and play harnesses that are about $10 a pair on Amazon as well.  And I would also suggest a 10 pack of the Amazon Basics sound deadening. Slap that all around the speakers and on the open metal of the inside of the door. And your golden.   I am currently doing this with my Silverado. Although I am having a bit of trouble because I am snooby I guess and bought some Alpine S2 S69c's which are 2 way components and I am having to wire from the door up to the dash....  Having never installed speakers before, its taking me just a bit to get everything correct. But if you dont buy expensive component speakers, and just some $40-$50 door speakers. You will DRASTICALLY improve the sound over these stock paper cone junk speakers. I thought my Silverado had an issue with the radio/ sound for a while.  Come to find out.  The stock speakers are just THAT SH*TTY   I cannot wait to have some decent sound in the truck   What did you end up doing?
    • Its all automatic based on yaw sensor data.  If enough incline is detected, it engages.   My recommendation though would be to disengage it before driving off and not let it auto disengage by touching the gas pedal.  The HD trucks use the same setup as prior years, the drum in hat park brake.  But now with an electric actuator.  If you drive off repeatedly over time, it can torque the park brake shoes and can also prematurely wear them out.           Electric console shift will set the park brake on flat ground too.  Pretty sure they've got it programmed to activate every time.  
    • Anyone install a a supercharger on your 6.6L L8T? Talk to me...
