What does this kit provide for you over what is in the truck already? Or is this kit only for those that don't have wireless charging in their truck?

I have a 2017 Sierra, would this fix my pixel3 charging issue?

You likely need what P/N is for the 2018 module.

 

That said - why bother?  You can't do wireless Android Auto.  Just plug your phone in and be done with it.

My 2017 factory wireless charger would not charge my iphone 8 plus, so I upgraded to the 2018 updated unit for $65 which does charge my phone now.  And yes it would most likely solve your wireless charging issue.

 

Now that I have 2 chargers I can have my phone connected to apple car play, and my wife can still charge her phone on the wireless pad.

My 2017 Yukon Denali is doing the same thing; it will not charge my iPhone 7 or X. Charging bolt comes on for a couple of seconds then goes off.

 

There are a couple of ways to do this from what I have found; swap out the module to an 18' (part number 13521066) and modify the 3-wire connection from your 17' to it, purchase a retrofit kit from Infotainment that has the connection extension already modified with the module for you, OR (and I have yet to confirm this) purchase an entirely new Center Console Armrest Assembly from GM that includes the new module and wire connection to your vehicle.

 

Has anyone here purchased an entire new Center Console Armrest Assembly (GM Part#84329326)  and just swapped them out to get the wireless charger to work in your 2016-2017?

Big shoot out to pgamboa and his video.  I was going crazy as to why my iPhone X would not charge in my 2016. I just got my 2018 module and ordered the new conncector.  Took about 15 minutes to put everything together and pin the new connector, now everything works like a charm.  I did not rotate my mat, and i can charge as long as the phone is touching the back stop.

 

I do have a 2016 module for sale...if anyone wants a nice paperweight. LOL

This is great info, thank you! Any chance you have the link to his video and the part number to order?

@pgamboa I have the 2017 Chevy Tahoe.  Would the module switch with the 2018 GM part work to upgrade/make compatible my charging pad with my iPhone X?  If so can you send me info on your cord where I won’t have to change those pin things and also can you send me the info on where to order the new module.  I did hear in your video that it was on back order...hopefully not now though!  My email is ukpa09 at gmail.com -thanks a bunch!!!! And by the way- I’m in medicine and am not mechanically inclined- thank you for breaking this down in a way I could understand!!!!

My Samsung Galaxy s8 wireless charges in a magpul case. I did have to take the rubber mat out of the charger, rotate it 180 degrees, cut the alignment nub off the rubber mat, and put it back in for it to work. Took about 5 minutes and is a great feature that I use every day. Keeps the console area clean and free of wires which I like. 

 

Note on the fitment of the phone into the pad, it fits completely perfect with no wiggle room side to side and some room to go forward and back. I keep mine in the all the way back position and that works for me. The case is a good one for the phone too as far as drops and grip etc.

 

Just my $0.02

Has anyone got the Pixel XL to wireless charge in the GM wireless charge pads? I have the '17 High Country but it doesn't seem to want to work. It is like a millimeter too wide to sit perfectly flat. I tried searching, but you get 100's of replies because "Sent from my Pixel"....

 

But curious if anyone is wireless charging with any Pixel XL or similar 3" wide phones and how they got it to work. Really not pumped about trying to shave down the large plastic trim around the rubber mat to make it a hair wider but that seems like the next step...

Wanted to provide some information regarding recent phones as of summer 2020. 

 

I just did a PnP retrofit kit from @pgamboa's site and had a great experience with it and the install videos.  As of this post I have not been able to find the updated 2018 model 10 rib charging mat in stock anywhere (if they can even track down the actual 10 rib version at all with the weird part# stuff), but was happy to see my Samsung Galaxy S20 5G+ is able to consistently charge without issue on the 2017 9 rib version mat with the tall backstop already in the truck.

I didn't see any of the install videos reference it specifically, but if you were preoccupied with not breaking the console and didn't notice exactly how the original wiring is ran, there are channels for it inside the console ribbing itself and a cutout to hold the wiring in place along the hinge included on the driver's side hinge area of the underside plastic cover.

How well are your devices charging?  I installed the charging pad into my '16 Denali and it seems to trickle at best.  If not using the phone (iphone 8 plus) it will very slowly add charge to the battery but if its being used for maps the charge drops but not as quickly as if not connected.  If I run Waze, that's a joke; the charge doesn't even begin to keep up.  

 

Am I just expecting too much?

    • You could try a used 1, they used that engine in the Astro vans, Plenty of them in the boneyard. Look for a wrecked or rotted 1 so the chance that it was scrapped for that reason and not a mechanical issue will be greater
    • Google converting 98 4.3 spider injection to carburetor if all else fails. 
    • My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.  
    • The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.
