Good morning boys and gals.

Ok, those looking to swap the earlier "big chin" model out for the 2018 "little chin" model... I added the item in my cart, saw the shipping, said f you! Figured I would get it from the dealer because the cost was actually the same. I received this email because the item was still in my cart when I left the web page, and sent this reply to it. I then got the second email with the apology, then a third email with a new order number and 14.00 shipping. I ended up paying more then wholesale, but still less then dealer! The total was 78.00 and this will resovle my charging issues for my wifes s8 and my s8+. Our phones currently charge, just have to be further back then what the current tray allows. Hopefully this helps others! Message and I can show you my invoice for proof of what I paid11a1bbb810cdfe8e02011059640c2d43.jpg4b36782d9d16b654b460aa4b4714cd11.jpg

@newdudeAny idea where we can get it?  I've checked a couple of sites and can't find that part number anywhere.

Has anyone tried the new retrofit? I can find it online for $75 shipped.

I bought one a month ago from the local dealer. I have not had a chance to install or test it yet. I'll bet it is great though.

Which retrofit? I only needed to replace the rubber tray and my wife and my phone charge great

The one listed at the top of this page. GM released a retrofit kit with the new charger to work with newer devices. Some people have had luck replacing the rubber tray with the new one but the results have been mixed just replacing tray only. The cheapest I can find the tray is $60.

Got my 2016 Z71 last week. Thought it was so cool that it had a wireless phone charger in it. Just to find out it didn’t work on my IPhone X, even though I use a Samsung wireless charging puck on it every night. I searched this forum, found some answers, then asked a GM tech buddy of mine about making a 2018 module fit in this truck. He told me about the retrofit kit (GM p/n 84526978) and I ordered it a couple days ago. Came in today. $68. I installed it in about 10 min. And it charges my iPhone X with a case on it in the back of the stock tray on the console lid. ?? Love this truck more and more every day lol.

I did the same and got it from Tasca. Installed quick and works great.

I didn't read all the threads but I found the GM retrofit kit, Module Pkg - GM (84526978) I got it off GM Parts Direct.com for $85 and change shipped.  Comes with pigtail harness and new wireless module.  Going to install in our 2016 Suburban. 

 

Ha Ha, didn't read the entire post or even the last one and I should have.  I was just happy to have found what I needed to get the wireless charging to work with my wife's iPhone 8

Got mine today. 10 Min install works great.

    • Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.  
    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
