OEM FIX iPhone Wireless Charging for GM | GMC | Chevy

[@lawrenceray3388]

One of the best KZbin "how to" video's I have ever watched. THANK YOU!

[@jeffsgora]

Thank you so much Lawrence!

[@nicklaessig]

Awesome video, it worked for me! Heads up though...if you purchase the new Module Package from GM it comes with an adapter for the old harness, so you can skip the entire step of removing the back seat cover. Just unplug the old module in the front and add the adapter to the old harness.

[@jeffsgora]

Nick Laessig - Great tip! ... now if only GM would make a nice plug and play kit to swap the RCA over to HDMI!

[@NairdaZelaznog]

Nick Laessig I used this new harness as well. Phone charges only intermittently though.. are you having the same issue or is it working perfectly?

[@magnosantos867]

where is the best place to buy?

[@hlj013]

What is the new module package part number? Using the new part, do you still need to reverse the rubber mat?

[@johhnychingas7825]

Nick Laessig do you have the information or part number of what I need to buy for GMC Yukon 17 ? Much appreciated

[@myjobisjustdandy2909]

This is the best video on KZbin for this issue. I've looked at so many I can't even remember how many I looked at. Just easy to follow and understand in all aspects. The combo part number in the description is correct, I bought one today. The cost was over $100 though, not sure how he got it for $65. On the new one you don't need to remove the rear of the console. The new harness is only about 6". I routed the cable as he did, under the module then up and around the slot for the bottom molding clip. Also make sure to route the old part of the harness in the grove of the hinge. So, the new harness eliminates the second step of removing the rear of the center console. I removed it before I realized that GM was trying to make replacement easier. So hopefully anyone else doing this upgrade will realize how GM is helping you out, reads my post or maybe this video gets updated to mention the upgraded harness. Below is a link showing the routing of the harness. Make sure to route the original cable in the grove of the hinge. Also a picture showing the holes where the rear console clips into (to help you visually understand why he said to pull back and up). drive.google.com/folderview?id=1vmhabpB3J8mrTJLYYc004u4hhmbUCN6e

[@jeffsgora]

Great feedback - I'm glad to see GM is making the replacement even easier!

[@Lambobuild33]

Definitely the best and easiest to follow. With no experience and only following the video I was able to complete the installation in less than 30 minutes

[@kevinalmeida3862]

Hey when you bought the module did it come with the harness you needed. Did you buy from dealer?

[@bryon3464]

Great job. I’m stoked to give it a shot. Really appreciate that you took the time to be as thorough and specific. Also really cool that you took the opportunity to point out possible mistakes that people could have made with the pinched wire, orientation of rubber mat and the warning about the removal of the rear portion of the console (preventing folks from jerking all the harnesses out while attempting to remove it). Overall fantastic video. Looking forward to seeing more.

[@jeffmaurice2339]

Hi Jeff, Thanks for the video. I just did this in my 2017 Tahoe using the new combo pack part (gm part 19432813). Quick note - if you’re using that part, it comes with a harness that plugs directly into the existing wiring. You do NOT need to remove the rear panel on the center console, only the piece underneath the arm rest.

[@jeffsgora]

Thank you for the feedback!

[@ryanaustin1970]

Well spoken, seem to be a natural in front of the camera , any videos on these gm trucks will go over well with the KZbin crowd

[@jeffsgora]

Thanks Ryan!

[@durk1980]

Great video man! For your first you've done very well! I know how long post editing takes. We just bought a 2016 Suburban and were wondering why our iPhones weren't working. Glad this will save a bunch over the dealership costs.

[@jeffsgora]

Thank you Durk!

[@appstate1996]

Great first instructional video Jeff! My wife just purchased a 2015 Cadillac Escalade with this same charging pad and it won't charge her Samsung Galaxy Note phone. I now know how to solve the problem. Thanks a bunch!!

[@jeffsgora]

Glad it was helpful!

[@chadparks9810]

Great Video Jeff! Fixed my problem on my 2017 Tahoe, and your video was excellent in every detail in the easy modification. If this was your first video, it certainly didn't appear that way...you've got a good presence, pace and tone in your explanations. Best Regards, C Parks

[@jeffsgora]

Thanks Chad!

[@johnmichaelmyhal1097]

where did you get the correct wiring harness to connect to your Tahoe? The one that came with mine was too short and did not have the right connector

[@armandoroman6462]

Hey! Glad I found your video it worked perfect for me and it took all of 12 minutes to swap in the new module. First world problems I know but so convenient to just put my iPhone down and charge. I self-installed in my 2016 Yukon Denali for those who are wondering if this will work in their vehicle.The only thing that changed is screws are now T-20 Torx size in mine and the Gen 2 module includes a wiring harness to plug and play into current wiring with no need to remove rear panel shown in video.

[@jeffsgora]

Great feedback Armando, thank you!

[@Kiki-uk9rg]

How much was the new module?

[@jeffsgora]

@@Kiki-uk9rg It's around $100

[@DJB-427]

Immediately thought this guy was Aaron Rodgers ... but absolutely great video thank you.

[@davidschaefer7570]

Basically the link doesn't work above for Apple but if you go to the way back machine you can find it. It says, "The implementations of wireless charging in 2017 and earlier models from Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC do not meet the requirements for Qi certification. These models do not work with iPhone X, iPhone 8, and iPhone 8 Plus." I didn't know that, I just thought it broke - I even asked the service center at the dealer and they didn't know. :O So good to know basically it's a standards issue. This video is very informative and I like the research and the fact you posted an update that you can get the newer harness and module for about $80. I'll be calling my dealer tomorrow to see if I can get it... they are pretty reasonable with prices so hopefully I can just by it from them. Thank you again!

[@kevinalmeida3862]

Did the module from dealer come with the harness you needed?

[@-Hood-]

This worked, so awesome, the toughest part was prying apart the arm rest

[@jeffsgora]

Thank you - The arm rest is the hardest part for sure!

[@ssnarr311]

Great video- I second the other comments about not needing to take off the back console with the adapter. Also, I needed a T20 and a T10 driver. You’ll only need the T20 if you only remove the arm rest. Thanks for the great easy to follow video!

[@Vffr1]

Best video on KZbin. Why can't everyone make, clear, easy to follow, helpful videos like this one? Merry Christmas Jeff!! And all the best in the new year!

[@jeffsgora]

Thanks so much! :D

[@blakkazz21]

Great video Jeff. Clear and concise instructions! Worked like a charm in my 2016 Tahoe!

[@ccasanova34]

I just needed to know how to remove the back of the center console, and this was a huge help. Thanks.

[@jeffsgora]

Great! - Glad it was helpful.

[@CalvinStroud-l1u]

Great video bud, I appreciate you explaining the removal of the panel. It’s hard to know sometimes what kind of wired fasteners they are using and if you pull wrong they break. Good job!

[@jeffsgora]

Thank you!

[@Bodie193]

Bodie again, I got the new module in and installed just like the video. OOPS, it didn't work, no charging. It took me at lease an hour to find out the purple wire didn't have 12v on it. I traced down to a broken in one of the original cables, fixed that and it works great. Thanks for the video!

[@jeffsgora]

I'm glad you found the problem - Thanks for letting us know!

[@mikepatterson3569]

About to be purchasing a 17 Sierra and the charger didn't work on my Galaxy S9. Gonna check the fuse first but if not this is my next try! Thanks for the great info and demonstration!

[@douglacy9839]

Great easy to follow video. I changed the new module and not getting power to the pad. Checked hopefully the right fuse and it was good. Read where it may be wire chafing but still need to investigate further. Getting ready to punt to the dealer.

[@jeffsgora]

Glad you found your answer!

[@brianmccahill3130]

Very well done video. I would echo some of the comments below that the module now comes with a short harness adapter so no work is required in the back cover. I wish I had known that because I broke the tether of the existing harness. It still works fine but I worry it may catch at some point.

[@jeffsgora]

Thanks for the feedback Brian - sounds like a quick swap with the new adapter.

Thanks for the video and part number. About to order the part and perform the upgrade. 👊

[@ratrodnation]

Well I ordered the parts and just finished the install. It worked perfectly. This is the first time that I’ve ever seen a phone charge from the center console. You are right too, taking that piece off under the center arm rest was tough. Thanks for the great how to. 👊

[@gregevans2002]

Great video Jeff - little more video of the removal of that cover would have helped my nervousness - I was was worried I was going to break it. Way easier putting it back on. I ordered the kit through my GM dealer and it took me like 5 mins (after 15 mins getting the cover off)

I just bought a 2015 Chevy Tahoe LTZ and I don’t know this for sure, but I don’t think mine has a wireless charging port built in the console/arm rest....?? Is there a certain look they have to have? But this video was very helpful to say the most!!

[@jeffsgora]

If it has a graphic on it showing a phone on the pad and something that shows to placing keys or metal objects between the device and the pad, then you should have the charger.

Nice job. Good information and well paced.

[@jeffsgora]

Hey Shawn - I believe there is a backplate that you can swap for the wireless module but I've not done this myself so I can't say 100%. It looks like there are some wireless add-on kits with the GM module that would imply this works.

[@Bob68Cat]

Thanks, Jeff. Any updates, like a better replacement, so I don't have to alter the pad?

[@jeffsgora]

The modification to the pad is not required, it simply helps align the device with the new wireless module. If you are looking for something that does not require an upgrade at all, I would suggest a phone holder with built in wireless that can plug into your 12DC. I use one of these on my vent every time I am in the car and my phone is always full.

[@jeffsgora]

Thanks Jim - Sorry to hear about the phone size issue, only suggestion I would have would be a smaller phone on your next upgrade! There are some aftermarket wireless chargers you can attach to your vents that might be a solution as well. There are lots of place to route a long USB cable.

[@atticuscorbitt8199]

Thanks! My dad just bought a 2017 Yukon Denali and the center console wireless charger doesn’t work.

[@ericgeier4525]

I know I’m a bit behind on this but I can’t tell if the area you’re putting the phone on in the arm rest actually changed at all. What I’ve noticed is that new iPhones don’t even fit in the slot to make flat contact, does making this upgrade make the surface larger or just allow for the tech to work with smaller iPhones

[@jeffsgora]

Eric - It is only to update the technology for the newer phones to work. The tray is re-used so if your phone is too large to lay flat then this will not help you unfortunately!

[@bjnancy]

@jeffgora is there a link for a 2016 suburban charging part?

[@jeffsgora]

Thank you!

[@Patzfan4eva]

The issue with the charger pad isn’t just the old versus new module but the silly size. If you have a large body iPhone or Android, it won’t fit to connect to charge.

[@jeffsgora]

Agreed - unfortunately not much we can do about that in the current design without some significant modification.

[@robinhackworth8899]

Finally got my new module ordered (chip shortage really screwed me). Got everything taken apart only to find out that the harness that came with the module doesn't match up with the wiring that I disconnected from. Help!

[@jeffsgora]

Hey Robin, it is hard to say without seeing what you're facing. When this video was made the newer modules would not fit the old wiring harness under the arm rest so that is why I show removing the back panel and replacing the harness. The newer module is actually a kit (these came out after the video was made) and come with an adapter that plugs into the end of the harness under the armrest so removing the back panel is not required. It is possible that you may not have the right module as you're the first person to comment about this, it is also possible something may have changed since it has been some time since I made this video. I hope this points you in the right direction!

[@jlnovak7207]

[@ViperSniper.]

Jeff have you had any suspension issues in your suburban yet?

[@jeffsgora]

Hey Kylee - What kind of issue are you having? I replaced all the shocks - Compressing the front coils was a real pain so I would suggest buying them pre-loaded with new shocks if I were doing it again. I felt like the new shocks (OEM) gave a nicer stance and it feels much better on the highway... especially with potholes.

GM has issues across the board with wireless charging unfortunately. No solid fix available as of 09/2024.

thanks for the info, I ordered the part as listed and installed it as shown. However pad still does not work, anyone else experience this ? any suggestions?

I believe everyone in the comments who has had trouble generally has gone through the process of checking fuses and re-checking the install and found that it always works.

I'm interested to do this on my 2017 GMC Denali after watching your video I thought is it possible to replace the entire top cover of the box?

[@jeffsgora]

I don't see why not - the OEM swap gives you the same thing in the end.. Some people don't even have to remove the back cover anymore depending on what harness you get. I'm guessing a new cover is quite a bit more expensive vs the module.
