I upgraded from iPhone 4s to the iPhone 8 yesterday and it doesn't charge wirelessly in my 2016 Silverado. My wife's Samsung 7 has charged wirelessly in the truck since I got it about a year ago so not sure what's up. Has anyone else got the iPhone 8 yet and have success with the wireless charging in your truck?

 

Thanks

In these trucks the wireless charging block sits about half an inch up from the ridge at the back that your phone is suppose to rest against. Its possible that the wireless charging coil in the new iPhones is just far enough away that it doesn't get the signal to start charging. This happened with my Galaxy S8+ and required trimming the rubber tray insert. Wasn't easy and didn't turn out very pretty but it worked.

Either work out your new phone bugs or upgrade to a Galaxy.

Appreciate the recommendations to Samsung but no thanks hers is 15 months old and the battery is swelling, causing the screen to lift off the base. Common we're told.........The Samsung Note I believe catches fire! So, as you saw in my post, I've had an iPhone for 10 years and only upgraded because it is slow and I am very tough on a phone.

I just plug mine in all the time so I can use car play, I don't see the point of the wireless charging honestly...

Well I've never had a problem with any of my Galaxies. The only problem with my first/last 2 (S3 and S5) was just that I eventually ran out of internal space. Luckily the problem waited until right before I was eligible for an upgrade (every 2 years). So far I don't see that problem happening with my S7 since I still have 13 GBs left. Also there have been iPhone battery problems, not just the last Galaxy Note.

Oh come on, it saves a whole second of plugging it in. It's just another feature that isn't a huge deal to me. Plus at least with a cord you can still use it while still having it plugged in. As far as I know it only charges if it's laying on top of the console.

I always love the Samsung folks coming out of the closet to tell us iPhoners to buy their garbage.......

 

Side note I will keep an eye on this thread to see if you figure it out. I have a 6+ now and I'm really considering the X when it comes out.

I have a Samsung s7 and it works like crap on the charger.

 

The iPhone 8 is most likely the same issue. Where the charger is located in the phone is not lining up with the charger.

 

The charge pad in these trucks suck...To weak and the pad is not great for allowing to position the phone correctly.

You’re right about the charging pad on the truck. You have to move my wife’s Samsung around a bit for it to begin charging too. On another note the Apple Car Play works great.

The CarPlay to me is better then the Android Auto. I have a personal iPhone 6 and the s7 is my work phone. So I use both in the truck the Android when I'm traveling to one of our other sites. The rest of the time the iPhone is on.

      No 12v outlets in 2026 gmc Sierra

      By PhilB · Posted

      It is possible to add your own 12v outlet to your truck.  Check out this video:   I verified via GM Upfitters that pin 31 is the same on the 1500 trucks.  The wire is GM part number 84779405.   You can get the GM 12v outlet from Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Accessory-Receptacle-25774623-13549530/dp/B0F1H9YRGF EWAY 12 Volt Power Adapter for GM   https://www.amazon.com/EWAY-Chevrolet-Silverado-Cigarette-Ignition/dp/B0915RRW6Q/ref=sr_1_1?   I just haven't figured out a good place to put the 12v outlet in my truck.   Some people are getting USB-C to 12V adapters  https://www.amazon.com/WYMECT-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Adapter/dp/B0F87WNQKB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa? Not sure if they provide the correct amperage that a device like a tire inflator would need.

      Wiring Help, Please

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
