Depends on what you mean by easy.

 

There's driving to the dealer and trading it for a truck with wireless charging easy.

There's buying the console and all the parts inside for wireless charging easy.

There's buying a wireless charger, and modifying your existing console to hold it easy.

Gee... thanks?

 

 

I'm talking about adding the factory wireless charging. I didnt know if it is just an insert to the console that can be added fairly easily, or if there is quite a bit more to it than that.

And then the easiest -  buying this handy tray with a built in wireless charger, placing in the center or arm console and plugging the connector into the nearby USB port. Less than 30 seconds to install and easily removed.

This is exactly why I’ll be buying the AT4 when I get my truck. I like the way the new Chevys look over the GMCs. Especially the LT Trail Boss and RST, but I feel for the money you get quite a bit more in the AT4 over the Trail Boss and  for whatever reason they typically discount the AT4s more than the Trail Boss locally so for about 1500-2000 more I can get wireless charging, ventilated seats, heated rear seats, multi pro tailgate, rear view camera mirror, 360 degree camera, heads up display and nicer instrument cluster adaptive cruise control.

I use xvida wireless magnetic charger, and case (any magnetic case should work).  Attached with some double sided tape and it works perfect, and has a strong hold (doesn't move at all).

I, and several others, have installed our own.  Its simple to do and you won't know its there.  Its in the center console lid like the way they use to do it.  The thread is on here if you just do a search on wireless charging

I use CarPlay too much to do this wireless charging is nice but listening to music quality seems better plugged in the over Bluetooth.

+1 The much touted "wireless charging" is very inefficient and is not worth exposing oneself to the as yet unknown health risks of EMF.

Wireless charging is so slow that I always plug it in if a charge/top-off is wanted.  

 

Longer drives give more time for the slower wireless charge to do it's thing, but the longer the drive, the more likely that AA or Carplay, will be in use -- so again the phone would be plugged in.

I went the easy way and it keeps it hidden. Didn’t want to take apart my console to hide the wire. Just slipped it under the rubber mat and plugged it in. Haven’t had a problem with it connecting to it although I usually have my phone plugged in for car play.

      Feeling Vibration and Jiggles in 2024 HD Gasser Steering Wheel

      By Policeoff01 · Posted

      Curious, did anyone ever get a fix for the vibration reported here.   I have a 2024 Silverado with 6.6 duramax.   I’m noting the same vibration resonating up through the steering shaft into the steering wheel.    Best way to describe- like someone is tapping on the steering shaft/components and it’s resonating into the steering wheel.    thanks.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.
