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.

This would be perfect.  I’m not too shabby at DIY.

 

So you happen to have the part # of the lid with wireless charging?

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

I don't but you can get a VIN from a 2018 that has it and call the dealer.  @pgamboa may know as I think he may have sold one a while back.  I've seen them on Ebay too, just make sure it's for a 2018 so it'll have the updated charging module and mat too.

@Stevan, just to clarify, you have the full center console and not the jump seat correct?

With a jump seat, the above route I mentioned won't work BUT you should be able to retrofit an aftermarket wireless charger under the mat in your jump seat lid like you previously mentioned.  Check out this YouTube video and apply the same idea to your jump seat.  There are also companies like Brandmotion that sell universal kits that with a little modification, you can install their kit.  I've never used or seen this kit in person but here is a link if you're interested.  It's not as cheap as some but it may be easier to retrofit.

Thanks a lot for all the help.  

 

I think I will try and do this DIY route.  I’m thinking about ordering the cheapest wireless charger with 3 coils and charging, take it apart and put it between the rubber mat and plastic base.

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.

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!

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

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 the 8+, with OtterBox Defender Case, and it sits at a slight angle, but charges way too slow.  I found one of my 4" power/data cables, from my '10 Ridgeline, and use that in the pencil holder, up front.  Downside to the wireless charger, CarPlay will not engage without USB.

 

Curious (don't care about the damn cat), will the phone charge faster with USB while laying on the wireless charger?

Tap into the DC outlet on the back of the center console, or the USB/DCs inside of the console?

If the lid doesn’t have the mounting studs to accommodate the module, you’ll have to get a lid that already has a module.

One thing to note, unless you’re getting a 2018 lid, you’ll need to swap the any previous version module to the 2018 module.

In my explorations on various lids, I discovered that the double white stitched lid I got that came from an SUV console had the smaller mat similar to the ones with modules. This is when I learned that GM made a “Delete Wireless” model of lids. This meant that the studs to accommodate a module were there.

See the video I made on this here.



Lastly,

I have designed a harness that will nicely pull 12V from the rear 12V cig lighter outlet for $45 that will plug into the lid with the 2018 module.

Looks like this.

One final thought on this...

I picked up a lid from an Escalade Console. My iPhone XS Max (with an Apple leather case) fits the mat! So naturally, I placed them side by side and it looks like a direct fit.

Does anyone know:

1. Is a 2019 wireless charger a fast charger?

2. Has anyone, if it is a fast charger, looked to see if it can be retrofit into a 2014+ (with or without update adapter used in 2018s)?

Thanks.

Phil, what year is Escalade console lid? Looks like a great idea! Should be plug and play for my 2018 console?

 

thanks again!

I find the wireless charger pretty pointless.  Yes, it works in my '18, charging my wife's S7 Edge and my G7 ThinQ.

 

But it's pointless, since to use Android Auto you have to hard wire.  If I'm pulling my phone out of my pocket, I'm just going to plug it in there.  OEM's aren't offering wireless Android auto quite yet (it is available in Android, so in 2-3 years Apple CarPlay will have it and Apple Fanboi's will tell you that Apple invented it).  Once OEM's adopt the wireless Android Auto, then the wireless charging makes a lot of sense.

 

I had it in my last truck as a wireless charging cell phone mount, but that was so I could see the phone as it didn't have Android Auto.  That made sense - in this truck, pointless.

It doesn’t have the latest module.. so I’m guessing 2017. When I get time, I’ll throw the 2018 module in it and test it. I use a cable myself and a mount, so having wireless charging are for those times I just throw my phone on the lid.

      2024 Silverado 2500 HD with the 6.6 Gas (L8T) Engine

      How many miles were on the truck when you bought it and was there some form of oil change history generated through a dealer or an independent shop although not much would show up if the owner had changed their own oil. Just curious if it was a maintenance issue or if there was something off from the start, surely one would think the original owner would have realized it was using a lot of oil, its hard to go back in time and find out the true story of mysteries like this. Well hopefully the warranty company will go for it and just install a new engine, that would be the ideal outcome.    I still have so few miles on my truck as per not quite 9000 and will be changing the oil shortly which has around 2700 miles on it or so and its down so little on the dipstick from where it was at the beginning of this oil change that I could make the "claim" that it uses no oil but in reality would be a very small amount, less than a 1/16 of an inch. Just driving empty/not towing and easy driving so hard to say what it would do if it had a load behind it for oil consumption. So far very impressed with the very minimal oil usage.

      Doors lock and mirrors fold in while driving

      By BIGBOYS · Posted

      I have a 2015 Silverado and sometimes I can not get in to the truck. I use the key to unlock the driver door. Something is locking the truck when I unlock it, last night I left the truck open and this morning it was locked with the mirrors folded in. This happens while driving so it is now a safety issue. I reach down for the folding button and they open, then they close again.  Any advice, thank you,   Ed

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.
