On my 2018 the charging is hit or miss for my Samsung S8. Will this update kit help my 2018 or does it already have it?

Have S8+ with a case did this quick and easy just flip the rubber part and you're good to go

Because the charger is positioned toward the back, and with the way the pad is, the bumper on the backside pushes the phone forward away from the charger. So reversing the mat allows the phone to be p

The 2018 works just fine with my iPhone X.  I just went to the dealership and tested it out.  I got the part number for the 2018 wireless charger module which is 13507652.  The parts guy said that it

Your 18 should already have the updated software and hardware to allow the newer generation wireless charging.

This kit is basically the 2018 stuff, with an adapter to put it in earlier model trucks.

It might be an issue with your phone. I have an S8 plus, my wife has an S8. I only changed my rubber tray out for the one that your truck comes with and neither of us have issues. My plus is too big with a case to fit in the tray, so I just pull it off when I want to use the wireless charger.

Thanks for the replys. Could be any issue with my phone. It works on my wireless charger at home. It does charge but it comes and goes.

For me, our S8's need to be pushed as far towards the back seat, as the tray will allow. If I drive down a steep hill, or stop quickly, the phone slides forward a little, and stops charging. You have to wait 3 to 5 seconds before putting it back on the charger. Make sure that's not your issue. Whenever I'm stopping, I rest my hand or elbow on the front of the tray so my phone can't move.

Thanks for the tip. I have always had the phone always slid to the very front of the charger. I'll give it a shot keeping it all the way to the real.

A gripe that I have with this too! I have my audio rocking when I’m driving. So much that the phone is always forward.

Like other members said we upgraded to what you have in your truck. What you could do is take the top of your center console off and flip the rubber tray were the phone rests while charging. What that will do is put the phone all the way back over the actual charger. That's what I did with mine and my S8 stays charging anywhere it sits even with a case on it.

I'm going to try to come up with something that can sit in the tray with the phone. Something to keep it in place

It seems that the 1st gen rubber mat, when rotated 180° may be enough of a stop :). Problem is, is that I replaced with the later model mat. [emoji23]

I'm not sure, there might be either too much space or not enough? If the part with the sticker was smaller, that lip might hold the phone in place? Otherwise, is that space enough to cause the charger to stop working?1d145183783b43d0cfce1e0fb8c20405.jpg

Has anyone tried charging a "phablet" sized phone like the iphone 8 plus?  GM's website says it won't fit/charge.  Curious to know if anyone has tried or has any solutions/trays/mats that would fit.  Thanks!

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      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.

      Active Grille Delete

      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.

      By jake111 · Posted

      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?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
