Took my wifes 15 burb in for some work. Had them look to see why the wireless charging sucks. They told me her phone is one of the many not compatible. So i did some research.

Gm uses a shitty 1 coil setup.

Did some reading and someone recommended adding a nokia dt 900

 

Decided to try it on my 14 silverado. Found 1 on ebay for 13 bucks. Took me 20 minutes to do. Installed on center console lid, like oem. Real easy, through the plastic trim piece, rubber cover and my body glove for my phone phone charges wirelessly.

 

Now to upgrade my wifes.

 

Removed plastic piece, 6 torx screws. Trimmed 2 center nubs flush. Dissasembled nokia dt900 (need micro torx bit, real fn small i shaved down the skinniest flat head i had to make it work) stripped the wire, drilles hole and fished it out by the passenger side hinge.

Removed the rear cover to console, 4 torx screws. Tapped off the 12v cigerate lighter. Reassembled, just have to adjust pad for optimal placement.

My 17 burb sucked at first and would constantly flash power on and off when i received a notification. Either android or chevy changed something, as it's solid now. Good on you for your ingenuity though. Is it fast charge? I believe mine is slow charge.

Download ampere app on your phone and it tells you the amp max when charging.

      Gas Prices

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
