How to EASILY ADD WIRELESS CHARGING to your 2003-2014 GM Truck or SUV!

[@dillonneufeld5881]

I have an 05 silverado with center console, I work for a GMC dealership. I have a gen2 wireless charging module that we offer as a $99 upgrade from the old gen1 charger (gen 1's only wirelessly charge up to the iphone 8+ if I'm not mistaken, anything after that, you have to pay the $99 plus install from the dealer to get newer gen iPhone charging) that a customer didn't want in their vehicle any longer because he felt having his phone charging all the time was bad on his phones battery. Soooo, I was going to modify my center console and hotwire it in somewhere (it has been sitting in the box for the last year or two still uninstalled in my truck... and then tonight I randomly ran across this video after looking for a better after market headlight than what I have now for my truck. Before I even finished watching your video, I clicked the link posted and ordered this instead of new headlights tonight. THANKS lmao. I should also note that I have a wireless apple play Pioneer double din, because I HATE wires cluttering up my interior with wires, so this is an instant benefit for me. Worth the like and the sub!

[@Ontawiiilllyyy23]

Where you get that radio from ?

[@ericmailhiot9651]

How in the hell do you only have 44k subscribers, I've following since day 1 of the camaro videos, you never have a disappointing video, thankyou again for making my day

[@lsxmatt]

Thanks!

[@brianmccoy8423]

Pretty fly for a WiFi get outta here dude. Matt spends hours shooting these videos and editing them. He only talks about products he would stand behind if he was selling out he’d be peddling anything and everything every video. His videos don’t even have cut ins where he talks about sponsors. For free content you can’t complain- just skip the video if you aren’t into the product.

[@peterpro2a]

@Pretty fly for a WiFi good-bye FELICIA

[@iBarber504]

That’s what I am saying Matt is the Shizzzznit!

[@shiminowind]

Dude where were you when I bought my truck! Glad I found your channel! Great informative content, never disappointed and you cover everything I've done thus far and everything I have in the works with my rig. You made my decisions easier with your tips and execution!! Keep up the great work! 👍

[@Canon1DMkII]

Got one of these jewels on sale for Black Friday at $100 shipped. I just installed in under 15 minutes. A great upgrade for sure.

[@orion000]

Does it charge fast?

[@lewisgeer5830]

I’ll take the old pad!!! I just bought a 2005 Tahoe Z71 last week and the pad was missing. What do you say??

[@Sublimelime7]

For me, i bought one of those amazon wireless charging phone stands. It clips right to the vent and the wire runs to the middle plug. It wireless charges and holds the phone when im using gps etc. It was like 20 bucks or so

[@lsxmatt]

Seriously its just the absolute perfect spot for a charging pad🤷‍♂️ Remember to hit that like button for mor Tahoe content!

[@williamsinger4124]

Umm I think I need this for my truck

[@mwill76]

Do they make one for a 2018

[@mrcorvetteadrian790]

Hi, I have a 2001 Tahoe LT Autoride, I don’t have a stereo on the rear ,could I just grab power from the cigarette lighter under my dashboard and change the center console lid just like the one you have? Thank you in advance👍🏼

[@elsey1976]

Wonder why this doesn't work on an 02? Different size ?

[@thepunisher2895]

Does this work with all kinds of phones. Mine is like 5 years old

[@tokuzumi1]

Escalades have a different console lid. They are covered in leather, and center doesn't have that sunken portion like yours has. That Tahoe lid may be a direct bolt on for Escalades, which would make the wireless pad possible.

[@MxGRhythmlModsMusicGamingl]

same with denali

[@w123luke]

Off topic but in my 05 Silverado I have the same radio as you and I bought a USB port that I retrofitted into the old cigarette lighter on the left of the center console. It fit perfectly in the same spot as the old port and I hot glued it in the back to hold it. It looks completely stock which I love. I left the one on the right but have been toying with the idea of making it into a AC outlet.

[@davet6506]

I have been looking for a used truck / suv to pull a boat and have been looking at Tahoes... after seeing all of Matts videos... I may sway to a Tahoe over a Ford Expedition.. LOL. Love this content. Only reason I am following is for the Tahoe vids.. Great narration!

[@point1er]

Damn $135. I’ll plug mine in lol, good vid

[@edgarh252]

Any wireless charger will work

[@peterpro2a]

Heck I have a Samsung wireless charger that was given to me and I can use that as well just cut out the hole and stick it in there and it will work the same and cheaper to replace the cover out of a junkyard if need to be

[@miguelcastillo917]

lol same

[@jessevelasquez5460]

Damn 135$ GTFOH

[@JimBronson]

I'd pay it if they offered one for my vehicle. $135 for a totally stock looking wireless pad and no wires would be 100% worth it for me. I'd like to get an older Tahoe/Suburban for my next vehicle which I why I watched this. I would prefer to avoid the DI motors if possible.

[@CaseLight1976xbox]

That’s awesome Matt going to get one of those for my 04 Yukon xl. Thanks for all of your Tahiti content!

[@arianmartinez5529]

Yesss brooo more videos of the Tahoe !! Keep up the good work love the videos man huge fan

[@nexxisfoxx9731]

I did a console swap for my RCLB Sierra 2500HD, seen this vid, bought one. Suddenly I now have wireless charging for my regular cab HD sierra :) It can be done, and damn right I did it :D

[@jameshall4385]

it’s a little expensive but an awesome upgrade. i love how it looks oem

[@mus_xr4653]

James Hall no it's to expensive and the charging coil doesn't cover the whole cover

[@BLOWNSST]

MUSTAFA AHMAD yeah I agree, and thought I was going to be the only one saying that.

[@jewllake]

maybee you can set up a discount code? Cool upgrade.

[@deankay4434]

Obviously you have some vehicle tech experience, quick, clear and to the point including the magic drill. I will be looking at you other videos to see what you have been doing. Retired, but ASE Master Tech since 1978. I have researched “QI” phone chargers as this is mutual induction like a transformer as long as the phone has capabilities. They make good and poor or thick cases for non-QI phones. It comes down to how the plug into the phone. Some are easy, but block and outside connection at the phone and some good ones are very reasonable for older phones. A newer “QC3.0” USB charger is cheap and available for Quick Charge that it can tell. I have two different ones on my garage to charge my phone. My interest is lead by research to create a custom console for a 1967 C10 PU with an 03 year Tahoe 5.3L engine swap and sewing my inside, wiring, bodywork and painting to the specs in my mind, as my first vehicle at 13 (Farm Boy) school & farm work, I bought a 65 C10 Apache I drove for years. Hey, how many techs get halfway thru their classic, get married, kids and drive it to work in 5 different colors until they need a minivan. A dream dies just a little. I should know, I bought a car from a customer and gave my youngest brother as nice, no rust, no dent 68 Dodge Charger. Never heard from him since 1977. Nice subject, good content! Liked & subscribed!

[@coreyreynolds3924]

1:22 I want a ford TAHO 😂 that’s how you know I’m paying attention to this awesome video I’ve never thought about this great idea

[@nathanielherrera2883]

04 tahoe

[@agresham1982]

I thought he said Ford too

[@mr.beachwalker7154]

Great upgrade by my lab sat there on the console as a baby puppy. Now that he is full grown at 4 years old, he still want to at least try to sit there so my phone would be bumped in priority.

[@johnsnyder8576]

Thanks Matt, just ordered my charging pad for my 04 Southern Comfort edition Tahoe. Can't wait till it gets here!

[@LDEEZYDAFLOMAN]

Watching ya videos for years now. Comparing you to others that upgrade thier rides (Chevys & GM) and I gotta say you the TRUTH when it comes to telling the truth an showing hands on. I digg watching. I also have a Yukon 2003 model I been upgrading mostly from watching your vids™️💯💪🏾

[@craigstreetzel7743]

Looks great and I see it as cheap junkyard upgrade ĺ bet lots of people who don't even realize that was available for this location in such sanitary oem fit and finish

[@josephjoestar3275]

Of course mine is a 2000, ugh lmao This would help me a ton cuz I go through cables like my 5.3 goes through oil

[@freckledheart91]

Joseph Joestar I believe you can buy a 2003 style console but you also need to buy the glovebox and the dash part under the steering wheel

[@STARRSCR3ANERTV]

Also got a 2000:(

[@axtra92]

Facepalm

[@gerardojuarez6938]

You can buy a center console from a 03-06 Tahoe or Silverado. It’ll fit you just need Th e glove box, the dash under steering wheel & the plastic bracket that mounts to the center console , also the double din bezel to cover the gap

[@BusinessADAN24]

I have an 02 but put the center console from an 04 all you need is the center console and the glove box and the original dash bezel fits but it leaves an opening so its best to get the 04 dash bezel to have a clean look

[@craiglange4852]

👍Really great video. Been wanting to do this to my '07 STS ever since the GMC Denali's came out with it. In my case there's a bit of custom work to do. Thanks for doing it.

[@arturovalderrama4626]

how much you spent allredy in this tahoe??, i mean, you really must love this truck, i have a 005 tahoe and love it, but!!! anyways congratulations, i love your videos, always learning something new

[@thagerdorn2009]

I just installed a 2003 to 2006 Console into my 2001 Yukon XL today, so I might be picking this up. It was honesty really easy. I still need to drill a couple holes for it to mount to the floor secure, but how it's installed currently its not going anywhere. I also did not realize the bose system trucks have a 6 inch subwoofer at the bottom front of the console. It was half off at pick n pull, so I got the entire console brackets and all for 11$. Quick little cleaning and it looks new. My interior is a two tone as well now.

[@LilPaulfrmClaraSt]

Nice video! Hey do you have any solutions for the over sized cup holders 🤔😩

[@SpeedandChromeTV]

Excellent, I just picked up a 2009 Avalanche and this is now a must get.

[@fl6stringer]

That's freaking awesome. I'm 3 years late to this video, makes me wonder if there are more current offerings.. especially with fast charge!

[@reid1boys]

It is a pretty cool upgrade...... BUT. I have my phone in an otter protective case..... so it wouldn't charge on a wireless pad. Next thing, I have the wire, as you described to plug the head unit directly into my phone, which I prefer over blue tooth connection as my unit, to use Android Auto needs to be connected anyways. As you said though, that is an absolute perfect place for that pad. Just seems a little pricey as well as redundant for my purpose. Im speaking about my Silverado... now my Suburban is still using the stock deck. I use the Suburban so little that I havent quite been able to justify putting in a new head unit. Great job on your videos.

[@Cannacon365]

Did you get your CarPlay radio to be wireless? Have the same head unit, been wanting to have it be wireless so i could do a center console like this.

[@reactaccordingly]

I have an 05’ Yukon XL and this was an easy install. My only concern is how hot the pad gets when charging.

[@murfsappliancerepair]

Great product! Very easy install. Same with the Key Fob! Thanks for the great videos and simple upgrades! Thanks Boost Auto as well.

[@TheBowen747]

i wander if you could mount it under the lid outa sight outa mind no holes to drill. ?? whats the charging distance from base??? .. it is wireless,

[@ericfuller7846]

I have it in my 2008 tahoe and I love it. I did add a reset button to it because it will lock up if something metal contacts the pad. It was easy used a normally closed momentary switch and that allows me to reset on the fly.

[@theKINGalw2002]

My girlfriend has a 2009 ford edge and i did something like that, but all i did was take a wireless charging dock, took it apart and stuck it to the bottom of the center console, plugged it to the back of her aftermarket head unit and it works great

[@mike06060677]

Dude your awesome your videos are very informative I just picked up the same exact Tahoe you have I already did the drivers seat and ordered my key fob and I’m about to order this charging pad, keep up the good content

[@petesmith3186]

You're the best at what you do man! Keep them coming!

[@newestappleman]

Thanks Man. I did the key fob upgrade from 2006. Work Great!!!

[@BassShoter]

love it wish my 04 cadillac escalade had a spot like that. i may add a suggestion wrap the cable with insulation tape or shrink wrap so it wont make the rubbing noise cool video as allways!

[@ducatiman900620]

id like to see if it works with an otter box case..

[@NetWorkProduction2600]

I've had mine about a year now it still works but right out the box it has some difficulty charging sometimes. Hath to keep lifting and placing it down to charge. Check back with me to see how it's doing I might do a video on it

[@davecampbell7326]

Cool mod. Boost still had some in stock. Got one coming 👍. Can’t wait to install it. Thanks man for all the videos. Super big help!

[@code3k5]

Done :) Works ! AND I didn't need to remove the cell phone cover A HUGE PLUS !

[@craigboke]

I have really enjoyed all the info on Tahiti! I have an 06 Suburban that I'm going to apply allot of your mods to. Keeping Amazon busy stocking up on parts for the build. Problem is, it's currently parked at my place in SD and I'm in Ohio. Can you tell me the dimensions of the console tray where the charger fits?

[@Intwodeep902]

Great video was your cigarette lighter in the back as if passengers could use it. I had to look at my truck not sure if it has it a great video.

[@jamesrand5872]

Great video! Awesome product! My question is will it still charge your phone if you have an OtterBox defender case on your phone? I've noticed that a lot of wireless charging pads do not work with a case.

[@909LowLife]

I’ve had mine for about 3 months and it just died, and the key fob works intermittently waiting for a response from boost auto.

[@prioritypursuit370]

Did Boost ever get back to you? Did they send you a new one?

[@antoniotorres3754]

Try asking if you can use his thumbnail to charge your phone

[@909LowLife]

Priority Pursuit unfortunately no response, I’m gonna try emailing them again today.

[@Postingam2]

This is perfect for me! I just bought an 04 Yukon and it came without the pad on the center console

[@JVC0313]

Wish they made one for my vehicle that looks awesome dude

[@AsAngelsFall221]

I don't even own a GM truck, but that's a sick upgrade. My 80 series Land Cruiser has a similar pocket on top of the console, was thinking of doing some custom wireless pad up there since it's all scratched up anyways. Cool vid man!

[@joemiller2057]

Thanks I Love it and you did a great job with this video I appreciate all the details

[@KeithsTVHD1]

My to do list, thanks sooo much!

[@Countryboyems11]

I've been looking everywhere locally for that console lid cover. And Ebay mostly has opening from the front and not the side button. But this is on my list of projects to do to my 06 gmc sierra 1500 denali.

[@irvinlopez2351]

Hey matt is it normal for the pad to stay warm when truck is off and charger not in use ??does this drain the battery ?

[@Kaijuvq]

OK my question; love this want to surprise the wife with it. Will this draw continuous power given its plugged into cig lighter? TIA

[@HapPap81]

Cool idea, but who’s phone actually stays on the charging section after driving around on bumpy roads? Seems like you would be constantly repositioning it while you’re driving.

[@jvc6489]

Would be great if there were an option for the non-full center console.

[@Erikgmz]

Nice video, question the wireless charger don’t drain your car battery?

[@boostautoparts]

It will not drain the battery, it is designed to draw very little current when in the resting state.

[@jimmysgarage9068]

Really guy? I sold my Avalanche in October and you release this now? Haha. All kidding aside, great video, great content!

[@josevelazquez1342]

I see you don't have the factory radio, those your steering wheels controls work with it? Mines dont.

[@joseherrera851]

Do you know if that plastic piece with the cup holder is interchangeable with the base 02 Tahoe LT ? Mine is more basic without that perfect slot to lay your phone in.

[@chrisburnette1251]

Bro, I just ordered one. Its perfect. Thanks

[@asehome2527]

I hope this will work with my Trailblazer when I swap out my center console. hoping I can do something similar or put a similar center console to a Tahoe. like how it has a coin thing built in.

[@claudiofagundes9502]

I think that's pretty nice if it were $60 or less and you can get one on eBay for 20 bucks or so and retrofit it's in the same place but $135 I think I'd rather just stick a in the phone. Good video I am curious a lot of other people comment the 5.3 leaking or burning oil or having a issue with coolant I've had 3 early 2000s GM full-size trucks and SUVs with that engine and never had any of those problems maybe because I maintain my vehicles even though I buy them used I'm not sure but I hear it all the time yet I have not experienced any problems for myself

[@lonniebaggling752]

do they make a charger like that for a 2011 silverado with split seat jump seat in the middle

[@thatguytyftw7643]

Off topic question I have a Tahoe 2004(same tahoe as lsxMat)and the trunk don’t lock at all any fixes ?

[@sharpie132]

@lsxmatt how long does it take your phone to charge from 0 to 100?

[@cookieboy09]

Does it move around when you’re driving though? Wireless charging is so fickle when it comes to movement that I wonder if it’s staying connected.

[@lsxmatt]

Used it today and it doesn’t move at all. The rubber is actually grippier than the stock rubber mat.

[@mijohnst]

I was excited when I saw this and even though it seems very expensive for a charger, I went ahead and bought it. It is a beautiful design and looks great. After using for the past week though I find that it's not a good charger. First, I'm constantly trying to move my phone around to find the sweet spot. A spot that worked one time, isn't' always the same spot the next time I use it. I find myself constantly moving my phone around the mat wait info the connection sound to go off. I think the biggest disappointment though is that it's not a fast charger. Last night I drove for an hour and didn't touch my phone while charging it it only took it up about 40%. I was under the impression it was a fast charger. Anyway, looks great, but I wouldn't do it again as it is way overpriced for a slow charger. I was hoping to ditch the lighter plug charger but it looks like I'm going to need to keep it.

[@jwickert3]

Do you end up losing the cigarette style power outlet in the center console?
