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!
S8 plus works...

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

iPhone 8 Plus is too wide. I’ve heard it’ll charge but won’t sit flat.

8 plus will charge on the factory mat after the charger upgrade but you must place it carefully and it can’t move.  It Does sit at a slight angle.  Helps to not have a case

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

Well the kit came in today.  Got it installed in 10 min and it works with our iPhone 8+ even with the case on.

FYI, purchased the retrofit module from OEM Parts World for around $72.00 shipped.

 

It came as described (black LG Model Wireless charger) and also included a retrofit harness to convert my 2017 plug to be compatible with 2018 module.  Quick swap and everything works perfectly.

 

Just as an FYI, I had modified my 2017 module (removed the magnet ONLY) and it was working perfectly with my iPhone X, however, I wanted the REAL module and not a quick hack.

 

I now have a 2017 module that will also work to wirelessly charge an iPhone X sitting around.

 

My vehicle is a 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali w/ Ultimate Package.

 

Hope this info helps!

Sorry for a stupid question,  but I have read back on this thread as far as I can, can someone tell me the difference between the part #13521066 and this new 84526978?

 

Is the only difference is that one comes with the wiring harness adapter?

 

Thanks for the help.

Yes, the 13521066 is just the module and the 84526978 is the kit, module and adapter.

Thank you to everyone on this chain.  I ordered the module for my wife's 2017 Tahoe.  It was stupid simple to install and IT WORKS.

 

Thanks, again.

Has anyone done this successful on the 2018 Silverado?

 

I have the WT and it didn't come with wireless charging.  Would the 2018 Module (or kit) for other GM cars work on the Silverado?

You only need power and ground for any wireless module to work.  If you want it to appear and function 100% OEM, with you having a WT, you'll need to install a center console and probably update various things like the HMI, etc and run some wiring so you'll have the charging icon show on the infotainment screen when it's charging.  If you are just wanting a wireless charger in your Silverado, you could retrofit various wireless chargers depending on where you're wanting to install it, as once again, you only need power and ground to make it functional.

The “kit” won’t work since your console won’t have an existing plug to “plug” it into.

I’m working on a concept for those that have a center console but not wireless charging to be able to easily add it.

My biggest gripe with my wireless charging (came with my '18 LT that had a center console) is that it isn't a fast charger.  It's just plain slow.  Not bad for longer trips but in either situation, it's just as easy to plug the phone in. I don't suppose any of the OEM chargers are fast wireless, are they?

I have a central console with a phone holder. There are also 2 USB ports and 1 cigarette lighter in the console as well.

 

I don’t know if an OEM solution exists but it seems like I should be able to glue a 3-coil charger part under the plastic that the matt sits on and then plug it into one of the two USB ports?

 

Anyone know the maximum distance between a wireless charging coil and the back of the phone?

If you already have the full center console then you could swap the console lid with wireless charging lid and wire in the OEM wireless charging module using the power and ground from the power outlet, it just won't show you're charging on the infotainment screen and it won't be PnP as Phil (pgamboa) mentioned.  If you didn't want to swap lids, yes you can retrofit a wireless charger under the mat and use a USB port for power.  The are various videos out there of that modification, just do a quick search on YouTube.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
