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.

Fyreman97 which wireless charger did you use for the under mat install? Did you have to modify/open the wireless charger?

Thank you very much!  This is exactly what I was looking for...  plug-n-play with a OEM look.  Thanks!!

I know people search a lot for solution's so came up with another idea that uses the USB port as well. I will also link amazon for the charger. I don't know how fast it charges since I'm not in my truck that long, but it works well with my note 10+ with otter case on it, so should work with most.

I have no relation to the seller of this and do not get any profits from it, so feel free to search elsewhere for better price. It does use the USB and doesn't require cig light plug adapter.

 

I used Gorilla tape to tape it down and to the front so it doesn't tip. I also added a small piece of Velcro to back of phone and top of charger just so phone doesn't tip on corners until I can epoxy a magnet to the top of it somewhere.  Not quite as concealed but puts phone at a nice angle for some visibility of notifications. I placed phone on it and figured out best config then placed the whole thing onto the console so the left side of my phone rides against side of console.

I have a 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT and they included the wireless charger on the center console but made it too narrow for most modern phones 🤦‍♂️ I have an iPhone 13 and only the mini iPhones/Androids fit. Pretty annoying lol. Any ideas??APP-2-Feature-1-768x491.thumb.png.213ef66b4f3d4360d5270d96a5ec909a.png

Did you ever order this and install it? I am curious how well it works.

I just did this, it's a 30 min easy job. Need to continue moving the power to a more permanent place but this is super simple.

I did a very similar install, I used a five coil, installed separate 12v socket with USB to help keep visible wires out of sight under front dash right above the transmission tunnel. 12v socket powers to ignition on only. This also keeps all the USB ports free. Clean look, flush like OEM and it fast charge. 12v.thumb.jpg.22b36561727d22e59e67e558efe0f6ac.jpg

@redlt how many watts out of that 5 coil ? Links, this one can go up to 20w if you trust Chinese sellers.... I need to hide the cable, but didn't feel like opening the middle console, I'm alone 90% of the time in the truck so won't initially bother me, but my plan was to splice and solder in.

It is 20w, I preferred the 5 coil as you can see it stretches almost the whole length of the tray, don't have to move the phone around to hit the spot. Depending how you're hard wiring it, if it is still coming from the USB port it will charge really slow from other threads that I've read. OEM ports seems to output very low.

I did the factory wireless phone charger, including the HVAC line to keep the charging area cool.  Adding the HVAC line was PITA.

AMEN to that!  I almost threw in the towel getting that into place behind the glove box!  Definitely budget time for fighting this little tube of plastic for about an hour!

At least 1 hour.  I have the Bose system in my truck, so no help at all getting it in at any point.  I ended up removing the blend door actuator the tube wraps around.  Actuator went back in easily, but what a PITA the whole process was.

      AFM Experience

      By KARNUT · Posted

      The problem with failure rates or increase failures are there’s people who don’t have a problem. What are you doing wrong they say. We had 4 5.7 GM diesel’s in the family when they came out. One was flawless. My uncle who happened to be the most abusive. Early rotary engines were known to use oil. I abused my first car so bad in six months I replaced the clutch, transmission and rear end. It didn’t use oil. My brother in law has a 2013 Tahoe and an older Yukon. The Yukon has 280K miles. The Tahoe around 175K. He runs them to about 300K. If his lifters fail before that time he would consider it a failure. My Hondas, I know people hate it when I mention them. Identical engines. One with cylinder deactivation one doesn’t have it. One shudders when the eco light goes on or off. Cylinder deactivation. But wait! According to the web. It can happen with lock up too. So now people in the know are changing the oil and transmission fluid more often. Then you read it could be a programing issue. So what do you do? There’s lots of money involved. I see three ways to deal with it. One only works if you don’t drive lots of miles. Lease, never get out of warranty. Or only buy older vehicles with a good track record. They all have bad runs. Usually when there’s a change. Even Toyota and Honda.

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.
