Does anyone have the harness that I can purchase?  I have all the parts but I am having trouble with getting the wires into the connector.

I bought my wire harness from Pgamboa for 12$ the other day and I am waiting for it in the mail now!

Big thanks to Phil (pgamboa) as I purchased the splice-in pigtail version of his harness back in December.  Yesterday I finally received the 2018 module which had been on backorder and got everything installed last night in my 2016 Silverado.  Everything works as it should as phone position is no longer an issue as it had been previously with my Samsung and it charges my phone faster than the 2016-17 module did.  I highly recommend this upgrade and Phil to everyone with a 2016 or 2017 with the wireless charging option.

PM pgamboa here on the forum as he is Phil.  Order the module from the dealer or online from gmpartsdirect.com, nationalgmparts.com, etc.

For anyone that has a 2016/2017 Charging Module and wants to upgrade to the 2018 Module.

I finally have a Plug and Play harness for this upgrade! My harness is an in-line harness.

Simply unplug the harness from the old module. Plug my harness in between and into the 2018 Module!

Nice job on the harness Phil. I installed my module and did my own pins and connector. Good thing I had extra pins as it took a few to get the crimp right. Works great. Now to get andriod auto working right. I know you have to use  the USB which negates the charger but somehow my system worked once and now will not. My wife got her apple car play to work. I just dont get the icon on screen to allow the system to project the phones screen.

Just wanted to give another recommendation for Phil.  His wiring harness is top-notch—excellent quality and workmanship.  In addition, he’s a super nice guy and provides great customer service.  He went “above and beyond” when USPS messed up my first shipment. Highly recommended!

I thought it might be helpful for someone to outline the various alternatives I have seen for wireless charging if you have 2017 or 2016 truck and an iPhone 8 or X:

  • Remove the small magnet from existing charger.  The two YouTube videos are here:

          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u29igTCTdLM&t=2s

          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AZKlTDnqsU&t=2s 

 

This approach worked for me,  but only if my phone was sitting on the charging mat when I started my truck.  If I removed the phone and placed it back on the mat, or placed it on the mat after starting the truck, it would not charge.

 

All of the remaining alternatives involve installing a 2018 charger (GM part number 13521066), although it appears the part is currently in short supply.  The three alternatives for installation are:

 

  • Modify existing connector.  The YouTube video is here:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2lOzwlnbg0&t=64s  I didn’t try this approach because I’m not very handy with a knife and didn't want to cut my finger off, but some have reported success.
  • Install a new connector by repining it yourself.  I tried this approach, but found that the pin work required was too detailed for me, especially when attempted within the confines of a truck.  I’ve successfully worked on similar molex connectors in pinball machines, but the wires to the wireless charger are 22 awg, which is very small—I found it difficult to repin them neatly, even with a decent crimping tool
  •  Install a “plug and play” connector from Phil (pgamboa).  This is my recommended option.  Phil does great work and provides fantastic customer service.  One end of his harness plugs directly into the existing connector and the other plugs into the new 2018 module—no splicing or soldering of wires required.  Ordering information is above.

I hope this post is helpful to someone.  I just wish GM had just implemented the latest Qi standard in the first place so we didn't have to go through all of this trouble!

Phil, I just sent you a PM.  I want to order your PnP harness.  I also ordered the module from gmpartsexperts.  

 

Is it hard to remove the current module from under the console lid and replace it with the new one?

 

Novice here LOL

And another recommendation for Phil. I did the charging module upgrade on my 2017 Denali and now have Qi compatibility for my Iphone X. Took 10 minutes. No kidding. Super simple with a trim tool and the adapter harness.

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
