Wireless Charging 2018 Sierra for iPhone XS

[Golfguy1996]

A few months ago there was a thread about the wireless charger pads in the console not working with the new iPhones (I had recently upgraded to a iPhone XS). I even researched on apple forums and sure enough, the new phones weren't compatible.

 

The other night I randomly set my phone down on the console and low and behold it started wirelessly charging. I am assuming one of the iOS updates had a fix....so, if you've written off wireless charging on your X, try again! 

 

Maybe I'm late to this party, but thought I'd share in case others weren't aware.

Starting in 2017 (release year of the iPhone 8) GM updated from stage 1 wireless charging to stage 2 w/ including Qi charging.

 

K2xx 2014, 2015, 2016 there is a GM retrofit kit available its plug and play, to bring them up to date, there maybe some 2017+  vehicles.... aka Buick regal... etc.. that had the stage 1 apparently.

Interesting....my XS would not wirelessly charge on my 2018 Sierra this winter. I haven't done anything to the truck and now it does wirelessly charge. Hence me thinking it was an Apple update. Who knows.
