Will the Rev2 harness work on the GMC Canyon/ Chevy Colorado with the 4 wire connection?

It will not.

How do I know if my 2018 Sierra SLT has the newer mat?

 

My iPhone 6s Plus doesn’t even fit in the space or support wireless charging. I am due for an upgrade though...

Count the # of ridges on your mat. If you count 10, you should have the newer module. You can also remove the cover under the lid.. but I fairly certain a that all 2018s have the newer module. But it’s GM.. so would verify it for myself.

Looks like the 2018 mat. You should have the 2018 module that we are all upgrading to.

Just installed the 2018 module and rev2 cord (Thanks Phil!!). Took about 20 minutes and watching the video from Phil before made it super easy.

This was installed on a 2017 Chevy Tahoe and my phone is an iPhone X. Works perfectly

@pgamboa I should have bought one of your harnesses.  I was trying to repin the connector and broke one of the electrical pins.  Could you tell me what you purchased to replace one of the pins? Thanks.

Sorry to hear. These pins are very fragile. Without the right crimp tools or extraction tools, this can easily happen.

Send me a PM and will help ya out.

My turn.......have a 2015 GMC Sierra Denali 2500 HD without wireless charging.....yet

 

#1 - Will I find a harness in my console or will I splice into the cig lighter for power?

#2 - If I purchase the 2018 charging module... will it mount under my center console lid or do I need a Wireless Charging Console Mount PN (P)012001866AA?

If your truck came with the factory full center console, it will most likely not have the provisions on the mating side of the connector up front. So even with swapping the center console harness itself may not work. You’re probably better off splicing the the rear cigarette lighter plug.

Not sure on this either. I highly doubt a non-wireless charging lid will have the provisions for the mount. I wonder what would be involved with retrofitting a mount.

    • I've been eyeing an upgrade to my tonneau cover for a bit now.  Intrigued by the BAK MX4 EZ-Lift with the torsion spring and went for the upgrade.  Thoughts and musings during unpacking, install and a few days of usage.   Once my order went into Realtruck, it took about 4 days to ship.  Unfortunately, FedEx Ground destroyed the box and contents and it was unusable upon receipt.  To Realtruck's credit, one email with pictures and an RMA was sent to me to send the first one back, and another unit was shipped out.  It arrived 3 days later, unscathed.   I opened the box and it looked like every other BAK MX4.   Biggest differences are the rails and retaining clamps, and of course the spring attached to the cover itself.   [img]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55462229387_5c9bbe5416_b.jpg[/img]   NOTE - if you are upgrading from a MX4 to the EZ-Lift, you will have to replace the rails.  The EZ-Lift rails have a notch cut in them to allow the new style retaining clamps to fit properly.  The new retaining clamps also have 2 knobs/carriage bolts and there are two tracks underneath the front panel. The strap clips are mildly different (more like the Undercover Flex clamps) in that the screws go in from the underside.  Personally I prefer these over the BAK clamps that use the nutserts that are a nuisance to install.  The remainder of the parts in the box (drain tubes, rail clamps, and bumper pads) are standard issue BAK.   [img]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55463207451_16a229e2f8_b.jpg[/img]   I did not replace my front bed seal at the time because it seemed to be in decent shape.   BAK recommends shims on the GM trucks unless you place the clamps on the flanges about 1/3 of the way in from both the front and rear of the bed.  I shimmed the front and the middle, and initially placed the clamps equidistant.  This also turned out to be a mistake, because when I set the cover in place, the new style retaining clamps wouldn't clear the front clamp.   New style clamp inserted in the track:   [img]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55463598785_88e6de0164_b.jpg[/img]   And the issue which occurred because the front rail clamp was too far forward:   [img]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55463206526_7d19819403_b.jpg[/img]   Once I removed the shim from the front of the bed, and slid the clamp back to the front flange, everything cleared fine.   [img]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55463377309_a18f23d493_b.jpg[/img]   The cover set on the rails without issue and I installed the strap clamps.  After I completed my adjustments, I pulled the pin to activate the torsion spring.  Mistake #3 on my part.  PULL THE PIN AS THE VERY VERY VERY LAST STEP!  The reason is, once you pull the pin, the torsion spring is activated.  If you have to loosen the front clamps and adjust the cover, the front panel will - by virtue of the spring, refuse to lay down.  The only way to get it to lay down so you can reinstall and tighten the clamps is to fully open the panel against the back of the cab, which will then allow the front panel of the cover to lay down and be tightened.  Not a big deal unless you haven't installed the foam pads yet (typically the last step) because minus the foam pads, you will need to place something between the frame of the cover and the back window so it doesn't get scratched.  The next time I install one I will install the foam pads before I pull the pin and activate the spring.   After using it for a few days:   The spring assist is great.  You literally can open it with one hand.  My shoulders aren't getting any younger and this was part of my motivation to swap out. The second panel latches and unlatches itself as you open and close the cover.  Neat in concept, however it took me a minute to get used to closing the cover and not hearing the "latching" sound that would tell me it was locked in place. The paddle handles are a huge upgrade and I wouldn't be surprised to see them become the standard across the Realtruck line.  They effectively eliminate the concern that a thief could coat hanger the cover open and get to the contents in the bed. I'm not sure why the very front panel on my cover has a different finish from the other 3 panels.  I have a request into Realtruck to find out if mine was not manufactured properly or if it was by design.   All in all I'm pleased.  Same level of protection, looks good, keeps stuff mostly dry (they all leak around the tailgate) and easy to install.
    • Same here, first I bought a few filters to get me going right after I bought my truck to do some short distance initial oil changes, then realized I could buy a case lot for less as they drop the price if filters or trans oil etc is bought by the un opened case lot as well as the discount for buying the vehicle there. So I have filters for a while but its good to know going forward, knowing to expect it to be a different part number and looking filter at the dealer and not be confused over it and think they are handing me the wrong part.
