Hello just took delivery of a new 2023 AT4X and of course it was made without the wireless charging. I would like to think that I can go ahead and just order the parts and install it myself. My questions are:

1. Is there a module that needs to be programmed to the truck to get it to work?

2. Can someone point me in the right direction to get the part numbers that I need?

 

Thanks for any help.

I think it's pretty stupid or greedy of GM/GMC removing the tray.  The 2022 refresh has the tray, Not sure what trim level are getting the tray on the 2023's as I've seen 2023 High Country having the

There's no tray in the 2023s because the wireless charging is underneath the armrest, right below the center console open button. IMO, this is a much better place for it because it keeps the phone eas

Judging from the fact they are not offering a later retrofit, its likely not a simple plug an play feature that adding a chip will fix.  Parts for new vehicles are in very limited supply. Even if you could add this feature, chances are you could NOT buy the parts to do it.

Check with boost auto parts. I know they make a kit for up to the 22' year.  From what i know the stock charge pads are not strong at all. The aftermarket should have fast charge.

Thanks all.

 

@elcamino I was thinking that or maybe that they didn't want to pay for the labor for such a minor thing that some people don't care for anyways.

 

@John F. Thanks I will check them out. I am not sure if it says up to 2022 because of the "Limited" trucks that were at the beginning of the year.

If you're willing to do it yourself, you can always just buy one of any million wireless charging pads and retrofit it yourself. That being said, I don't use wireless charging for a variety of reasons. If you religiously upgrade, you won't be harmed by it. But wireless charging generates a lot of heat and will shorten your battery life over time. I'm not one of those "don't be lazy" people who constantly whines because people enjoy modern conveniences (like some here), but this is one of those that I prefer to just plug up when I get in. I might be one of the few here.

Boost makes some quality stuff. I have the 22 "limited"   the pad goes into the center armrest and looks pretty seemless.( only seen some videos of it) but have ordered a few things from them that work well.

"Background

Electromagnetic pollution cannot be ignored. Long-term low-dose electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure can cause central nervous system dysfunction without effective prevention.

Conclusions

EMF exposure not only led to depression-like neurobehavioral disorders, but also to gut microbiota imbalance. HA alleviated the depression features caused by EMF exposure. Based on the analysis of gut microbiota associated with serum metabolites, we speculated that gut microbiota might play a vital role in the cross-tolerance provided by HA."

I have the wireless charger in my 2021 AT4

Over heating doesn't seem to be an issue because GM must have routed the AC through that part of the truck.  When I  pick up the phone it is actually cool. 

Issues that I have had is sometimes it doesn't work through my  phone cover. Works very good on my newest phone.

I'm not sure what this has/had to do with what I posted? This was about phone battery health.

Boost doesn't make one yet for the 22-23 refreshed interior yet. It looks like 404parts have a kit but they are sold out.

Based on what they have on their website, its what I was expecting that it will be plug and play and that GM just didn't want to pay the dealers labor to retrofit the charger because it would be too much for such a small non safety feature.

Aren't the interiors the same? I mean besides the dash. The center console should be the same and as long as you have usb or power on the back behind the console it should be exactly the same. https://boostautoparts.com/products/2019-newer-gm-charging

Look under fitment. It shows 22 "refreshed" for GMC and Chevy as available.

there's a vent  duct that blows cool air from below. not sure if its actually air conditioned or just ventilation, but either way, they did take steps to deal with heat.

 

I've never used my wireless charger either, the location just isn't convenient for me and need to plug in for android auto anyway.

Isn't the cooling just radiant cooling? The duct is actually for the rear console vents for the back seats. Wouldn't it heat up when the heater is on?

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      My office is slowly filling with Blazer parts. Getting ready to do the big bang of repairs. Intake (second time), water pump, radiator, hoses, and I'm going to re-seal the timing cover where someone went hog wild with silicone. Might as well, because I don't think that's done right.   There's a local tow yard that I didn't realize also has quite the inventory of junk vehicles. This is an old school junkyard. No waivers. Cash only, you were never here if anyone asks. Don't piss off the owner, or you'll end up in the back of one of those cars, headed for the shredder. And if you see something, don't snitch. Cars stacked double high, wasps nests, trip hazards and junk everywhere. I found a few little odds/ends for my Blazer. The $20 I spent was worth the experience alone. But I was never there. What yard?   I officially love/hate this truck. It's so out of my wheelhouse, roughest vehicle I've ever owned. Every. single. repair. -is so hard-fought, everything that can go wrong, goes wrong. Currently in a hate phase, and kind of wish I was closer to sending it down the road with a lucky new owner, to be honest. Preparing for the day when I tear into this thing...lots of pre-funk with Ibuprofen.   Rock Auto sent me a bad reman rear wiper motor. It was a bear to install. The tailgate in these things has about eleventy-billion fastners and pieces and things that need to be uninstalled/moved just to access the shoddy rear wiper motor. The casing on mine was cracked clean through, btw. Nice, GM, nice. SO I got this new motor installed, hit the switch, I see it wig-wag (without the arm installed) and think I'm golden. Reassemble everything. With the wiper arm installed I gave it one final test. Time to clean up and take the other half out to dinner, collect a paycheck, right?   Nope. I hear the plastic worm gear stripping as the arm hung up. Just like my broken motor. Weak/old and shredding itself internally. I can assist the arm and the range of motion is normal, and it parks correctly. It just doesn't have the poop to actually sweep the arm with a blade on it. Oh, hell. Turned the key off and shut the shop door behind me. I get to do that over again, too.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By BlueV8 · Posted

      A complete delete is the most thorough mechanical solution, but it is also major engine work. On a quiet truck that is still under extended warranty, opening the engine purely as prevention is difficult to justify. A plug-in disabler stops commanded cylinder deactivation, but it does not remove or repair the collapsible lifters, so it should not be treated as failure insurance. I would keep the oil full, document the maintenance, and have any persistent tick, misfire, or loss of power diagnosed promptly. If the engine eventually has to come apart, that is the logical time to compare an OEM-style repair with a complete delete. The right choice depends on the truck’s symptoms, warranty status, expected ownership period, and whether the engine already needs to be opened. We explain that decision in more detail here—full disclosure, this is our own guide: https://www.bluev8.com/blogs/news/do-you-actually-need-an-afm-disabler   One exception: some 2021 L82/L84 trucks have RPO YK9, meaning cylinder deactivation was already disabled in the factory ECM; on those trucks a plug-in disabler is redundant, although the AFM/DFM hardware remains inside the engine.
