After some help from a member on the forum, I ordered a few pieces from GM, and bought a GM wireless charger off eBay to make a factory install.  

 

I ordered an RST which didn't have the wireless charger as an option, but I wanted one.  I am unfortunately still waiting for my truck to be built so I don't have actual install photo's, but I have pics and part numbers of the hardware which is just as good.  All in just under $200 for what is listed below.  The last unknown is if I will be lucky enough to use the small jumper harness that came with the charger to slave off a 12V source, or if I need to hard wire into something.

 

GM Parts:

-84555398 Console Mat

-84505586 Upper Trim Panel

-84075152 Bracket (holds the wireless charger underneath the trim, need to supply your own small screws)

 

eBay:

-GM Gen II Qi Wireless Charger Retrofit kit

 

I am still looking for a good video on how to gain access to replace this console trim, but worse case I will deal with it when the truck finally arrives.  Any suggestions or links would be appreciated.

I agree, I have one in the 2019 LTZ and it works great.  It's not picky where you put it and plenty fast!   They must have upgraded it since the K series.

So my truck isn't even here yet!  I ordered it in March and have yet to see it.  My salesman says I should have it by December!  By the time I get it he said it wont have Auto Start/Stop or Displacement on Demand, but I am fine without either one of them.

 

A friend of mine did this same upgrade on his RST and he had to get the GM wiring harness and an air duct to keep the charger cool.  They are both GM parts and their numbers are listed below:

 

Part Number Part Name Price Quantity Total
84514829 Genuine GM Harness 84514829 $60.56 1 $60.56
23391625 Genuine GM Instrument Panel Air Duct 23391625 $28.55 1

$28.55

 

The nice thing is that with this harness he said the charging icon comes on in the center cluster to let you know it is charging.  Yes, after adding these two extra items the whole charging pad will be about $300, but it will be factory, and better than paying $10k more for an LTZ which has it.

I installed the one from Boost Auto, Easy Install looked good and fitment was good.

I just ask question as after 3 weeks my phone was getting very WARM and sometimes phone was losing charge? They sent me a return label and sent it back 3 days ago? we will see outcome. 

 

here is the link, nice setup if it works longer than 3 weeks.

#84482763 Wiring Harness (w/o rear heated seats) 

 

#84505586 Upper Trim Panel

 

#84002462 Wireless Charging Module

 

The only thing I'm not 100% is whether or not there would be any firmware requirements, or if it is a simple plug and play situation.

Did you end up doing this upgrade?  I have a 2021 Trail Boss and just took apart my whole vehicle but found out the harness I have is not correct.  I have 84514829 which was referenced earlier in this thread, however this harness does not have the correct hookups for the light in the center console, the sensor for when it is opened, nor what appears to be the USB C next to the SD Card reader inside the console.

 

Thanks!

 

Rick.

I ordered the wrong harness as well that I referenced earlier.  The harness I ordered to replace it is 84482759 which includes the SD card reader, USB’s in the center console, wireless charging, front USB, etc.  check out this thread for the wireless charger upgrade:

Thanks for the reply!  So with that harness you had all of the console working?  Lights inside it as well?  Looks like that is the harness to add rear seat heaters as well, did you do those or just coil up the wire and tuck it inside the console?

 

Also, did you have any "Service Remote Keyless Start" messages after taking apart and reassembling?  I am getting them now and positive I put all back together correctly.

 

Thanks~!

 

Rick.

 

Thanks again!

Rick,

 

yes, it did have one more connection for the heated seats that I didn’t use, I just taped it up next to the other rear usb connections and left it alone.

 

there is a little module that I had to move over from the center of the cup holders for the keyless remote.  I didn’t ever get that warning when I did mine.  Maybe the connection isn’t in all the way?

 

everything works just fine with this new wiring harness,  factory charging icon shows up on the Home Screen, and the charging icon works on Apple car play obviously.  No other lights or issues to report.

 

the worst part of this job was installing the air duct.  I fought that damn tube for an hour before I got it into place.  It blows a puff of air across the charger now to keep it cool.

Thanks man!  Looks like Ill be pulling it apart again tomorrow to check my connections!  All works except for the buttons on the exterior door handle to unlock the vehicle.  I appreciate your time and assistance!

FYI i had the same problem just did my add on wireless charging, turned out on the back of the console at the rear vents there is a module plug i forgot to plug back in that plugs in right below the vents that controls the passive unlocking using the buttons on the doors, you can get to it easily even if you put the console back in the truck by removing the rear cupholders and the torx screws holding that in and the torx screw holding the vents on pop it off and the plug is there under the vents.

 

Plugged it back in the Service Remote Keyless Start error went away for me

 I was thinking about adding one of these. How is it holding up? Does it work with larger phones well?

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I knew when I bought my truck that it had off road hill decent or craw control or whatever they call it and rolled my eyes at that but it gets throw on with other options my truck has, I just never had a heads up if the highway speed regular cruise setting had anything to do with the brakes and that took me by surprise. If you've ever been to the top of Pikes Peak and watched those ahead of you on the way down with their brake lights on constantly, one can guess they are probably not gearing down or not enough anyway if their vehicle will allow and a good reason their is a brake check spot part way down where they use an infra red heat gun to check how hot ones brakes are front and rear.    Your right that once one gets out of the front range by Denver and I've not been on that stretch of 285 between Denver and Fairplay myself but I know its high and Fairplay at 10000 feet, Buena Vista at 8000, it drops a bit from there but then your going back up and over the 11000 pass and Durango is at 6500 . So yes your definitely right that 6500 and a lot higher is the theme of going anywhere out in that direction from Denver but hey, the down hill sections give fantastic fuel mileage !.    I don't even look at the fuel pumps for what premium costs here, since I live on a farm and up to this point get fuel delivered I am rarely in front of a fuel pump and when I am, I am often using card lock bulk fuel stations so it tells me what the price is AFTER I buy the fuel. Looking up on gas buddy and converting to US gallons but in Canadian dollars, regular on average of the prices listed was around 5.95 and premium is around 7.00 . That was one reason I did not go for the 6.2 half ton aside from its lack of carrying/towing if one was going by the rule of using premium fuel and until recently one could only buy regular farm gas if playing the few cents off game for farm dyed fuel for a "farm licensed pickup". But yes I hear you on the fuel price difference and like the diesel theme with it often being more expensive then gas it doesn't have quite the charm to it either as it once did although right now here for some reason the price of diesel has come down more so its now inline with the price of regular gas.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I agree with this assessment. As you know I’m testing longevity with vehicles for the first time. I have a few vehicles I passed to kids and grandkids. We’re all past 100K miles some approaching 170K. I’m the only one doing 5k oil changes. The rest whatever the minder says. I’m the only one doing frequent transmission service. My odyssey the trip vehicle at 200K will be finished as a trip vehicle. I recently changed to high mileage oil, Valvoline. I can’t get past the fact that all manufacturers want to claim long service life. I just don’t make sense that they would go with low weight oil for mileage. While sacrificing longevity.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Atlas · Posted

      There's absolutely a mountain of profit in catering to the "I do my own research" crowd, people who are certain they know better. And I don't mean there isn't data to support that 0w40 produces less wear product than 0w20 in an engine like the 3.0 Duramax, that only feeds them the assurance they need. Again, my whole thing with oil selection is, sure, 0w40 or 0w30 produces less wear product. Are we talking the difference between the engine lasting only 100k versus 200k? Or are we talking more like, if the engine will already go 350k on a good 0w20 regimen recommended by the OE, is using 0w40 going to get us to 355k, assuming we can even get the rest of the truck to last that long, meanwhile sacrificing the first 5y, 100k in powertrain warranty. The answer isn't easy, there are tradeoffs.   I willfully use 0w20 Dexos D for this reason, knowing that a 0w40 will produce slightly less wear. I don't believe the delta in wear product is meaningful over the lifetime of the engine, and I place much more importance on driving style and overall feeding and care of the engine as a whole. It's the mentality that someone can abstain from alcohol their whole life which is an amazing boost to health by itself, theoretically. But if they're sedentary, that lifestyle choice will most likely kill them young despite their other, concerted efforts. Maybe someone doesn't drink AND they are the perfect picture of health and activity AND they use 0w40 AND they treat their engine perfectly. If living until 130 years is the goal, sure, do that. But it's going to be a really old truck falling apart around a good engine for that last 30 years, without a doubt.   I watched Demonworks' other video on the 100k+ 3.0 Duramax that had dealer 0w20 changes on what appears to be OLM-prescribed intervals (8-10k).   The QR codes are still present and readable on the main bearings. That's how little wear it has.   That's not proof that anyone else should stick to 0w20, but it's confirmation, for me, that 0w20 is perfectly acceptable to use in these engines.

      oh ya that's good to know - I would rather use a gear than the brakes down a long hill.  I would not let cruise control take over on snow or towing a trailer for sure on hills anyway.     The other thing about the CO trip was that was all done above 6K feet for the most part, so that has to use more gas as the motor is down a good amount of power up there.   If I drove my 2016 Camaro with a very similar V8 to this 6.6 it would probably get about 23-24 on the fast run up to NE.  But the premium fuel premium is steep here in CO, so it would still only save about $40 in overall costs for the round-trip.  And you sure can't carry much gear in a convertible camaro!
