Hello,  I have a wireless charging pad that came with my truck that is mounted in the center console arm rest.  The pad itself has a bezel or lip on either side of the pad that raises my iphone 8 plus just enough to where it will not make contact with the flat surface of the pad.  Does anyone know of a fix for this?  Thanks!

I could be wrong, but i swear I remember reading that the wireless charging in these trucks do not have enough wattage to charge an iPhone. You have to put a 2018 Module in (around $90) and purchase a plug and play harness. Here is a link:


My question is... if we do the module, even though the phone won't lay flat, will it still charge it? Because I have an iPhone 8 Plus as well and it's pretty wide... it almost lays flat, but not quite. This may be a question for @pgamboa

Yes. It’s not the pad, it’s the charging module that isn’t compatible. You need one from an ‘18.

I replaced the charging module in my 2017. I have an iPhone X and charging won’t work if the phone isn’t flat on the pad. Have to remove my lifeproof case if I want to wireless charge.

Ok.. with an iPhone 8 Plus and the 2018 module, the phone will charge but it will be raised slightly on one side because the phone is too wide for the mat/bezel trim. The iPhone 8 Plus must be out of its case.

If you do not have a 2018 module, none of the iPhones will charge (iPhone 8/X).

I just purchased a 2016 GMC Sierra from Carmax and I am having this issue with my Samsung s9. Is switching out the charging module I can/should do or should I have Carmax do it since it is still under their warranty?

      He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.

      Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.

      You refuse to own anything made in this century yet you reportedly own... a 2007 Silverado, which is now almost 20 years old. The dissonance.... turn up your hearing aid?   You clearly don't understand the government contracting process, brother. We send people to die on front lines, keep the public safe, and make people's husbands, wives, children enter burning buildings with equipment from .....wait for it.....   ...the lowest bidder....   Just because something is used for a long time doesn't mean it's good. But it might be cheap and plentiful.   Please, continue to whine about new trucks in a thread dedicated to new trucks, which you've said you'll never own. We get it. Go tell everyone how you're stuck in time on a Panther forum. I mean, Jesus, an 86 isn't even one of the good Panthers.

      It really is comical when people don’t agree or see the reason some people prefer the older vehicles. They become condescending. All the while they may be busting their knuckles on old vehicles. I have found memories of swapping out engines in my old GM cars in a weekend without much hassle. Unlike today. One wrong move a computer will shut you down. Even on something as easy as a brake job. There’s a pretty comical YouTuber called the car wizard. A garage owner who puts it all in perspective. Another Vicegrip garage that’s shows just how tough the old stuff is.

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.
