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.

How did the charger you put together work out?  Any update, Harness plug and play?  

Thanks for any info. rbdjr

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?

      HighMileage oils or stay with Dexos 1 ?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      HM oils and cleaning. Well, soft deposits yes, perhaps. Like you say esters are present in in theory that should be a plus. But, is there enough? 🤔 The marker is the "Aniline Point" and it has to be pretty low to solve out baked on deposits. The softer sludge, yea, they do that and that is the claim. Valvoline R&P is the only HM oil I know of (Jury is out on Mobil 1's product) whose chemistry is uniquely able to remove the hard stuff and not be so aggressive as to swell seals to uselessness.    Oxidation levels in virgin oils blends is a good indicator of ester level and higher is generally a lower Aniline number and at one time we could predict without the $400 aniline test it's effectiveness. AN's, alkylated naphthalene doesn't show up in the oxidation test but does show in the aniline test and has become sort of a cheaper go to but most oils only add enough to solve the additive package. Not nearly enough to clean the harder carbon materials.   To your second question about does it matter. Yes is the short answer. Deposits are insulative. Those under the piston crown for example add octane requirement for knock free running. We don't' normally notice in todays motors due to Knock sensor driven ignition R-e-t-a-r-d. At least until the full slate of available values is consumed. Newer motors also often use oil jets to cool the piston to achieve tunes that would otherwise not be possible. Deposits on either side subtract from that. Deposits in fine screens used in VVT/VVL or DFM/AFM services live and die on cleanliness and screens are front and center. Vacuum pumps as well like brake booster in the K2's.    90% of todays oils are Group II+/III blends. A few more at PAO/AN/Group II's. A few boutique oils not Walmart shelf materials have enough solvency to prevent but not remove the hard stuff. R & P the current exception. Even HPL's EC30/40 used as directed (20% max) will get the soft stuff and some varnish out but not the hard stuff.    That orange varnish isn't baked on oil. Those are fuel varnishes left when the fuel diluted in the oil drops out when the oil cools. Like sugar does in a saturated mix of sugar and water that is put into the frig. That is ring sticking material and a glue the binds hard carbon sometimes.    Name brand shelf oils are intended to provide a useful service life at the least cost and highest benefit to the OEM who is trying very hard to keep you in $500 a month payment programs where the real money is made.   Did I miss anything you asked or left unsatisfied?

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      Yes, I understand. And I was saying (poorly), that it popped up on the DIC when I didn't have that info screen up. Just like you, but for a different maintenance issue. And just like yours mine didn't need to be shown at that time.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Ugh, amateurs.   But I did learn HM seal conditioners are esters.   I'm curious about deposit removal - some of the HM oils claim they really clean stuff up, the old and hard to reach stuff, and that's great? To Grumpy's point, a good oil should already be keeping the house pretty clean. I assume there are hard to reach places (underside of pistons?) and things that just accumulate baked-on oil and combustion vapors. If the deposits aren't friction or combustion surfaces and the deposit is just normal "seasoning", is it actually important to remove it?

      You ask. The answer is yes. I think the strategy is brilliant. Or do you like more death and destruction? Gas is going down here. Maybe you need to change who you elect. Quit with the ridiculous statements or questions. You won’t get these answers.
