- Fixing the wireless charging on Chevy/GMC part 1. This worked for me but doesn't always work in every vehicle. So if you are a McGyver kind of person.....this may be for you.
OK adding an update to all the videos....New part arrived and I have installed it a few days back. I saw a post about GM saying voltages don't match or something like along those lines. That may be true but keep in mind they are nearly the same thing so the difference will be slight. Also the note about warranty is completely true, if you modify something on your truck that part will no longer have a warranty. So keep in mind if you modify the factory part that does not work and make it work, it will not be under warranty.The new box is almost all plastic and includes an LG logo, very encouraging. It has the same mounts and fits back like the old box. Both are powered by a 6 pin connector but they are slightly different. I was able to trim two plastic ribs off the original connector and the pin patterns are identical, six pins, three that have wires attached. So it inserted fine and I put the whole thing back together and it works. I notice it works a little different than the old unit. There is about a five second delay, then the phone starts charging and the charge symbol appears on the dash. You can take it on and off, it charges easily. Even if it slides a bit it seems to keep charging. The 2018 part number for GMC is 13521066, I paid 152 dollars for mine. So mine is in and it works. I would say if you can get a dealership to do it for you, go ahead. If you want to do it yourself, go ahead. If you are worried about a warranty on a part that doesn't work properly anyway, then plug in your iPhone and leave it alone. I suspect that GM will not issue any service updates or bulletins since it would cost them a pretty penny and they have already addressed it going forward.
I removed just the magnet and my 2016 Yukon SLT works perfectly! Bought a $5 upholstery tool on Amazon. Total time was 20 minutes. Charges and displays charging on the screen. Very happy.... thank you!
I realize it is kinda randomly asking but does anyone know a good site to stream new tv shows online ?
@Karter Ameer i use Flixzone. Just google for it =)
@Karter Ameer i would suggest FlixZone. You can find it on google :)
@Karter Ameer I use FlixZone. Just google for it =)
Damn bro, you have other folks on here replacing that whole madule. Thank you
DUDE! Thank you so much for putting this on youtube! My iPhone XR wasn't charging on my '17 Silverado and I almost bought the part before I came across this video. It took me 10 minutes and my phone charges flawlessly now! So stoked. All I did was removed that little magnet in the center of the coil.
Tried this this evening and it works, iPhone 14 Pro Max. Shall see how long it last. I also turned the pad around. 2016 Yukon Denali
I brought my 2016 Yukon to the Dealer here in Fort McMurray. They first told me my Galaxy S7 needed special charging case. I tried to explain to the me that it was built in and it worked fine when I got the truck first....they were not listening. Then they said I can drop it off for a day but they would need my phone for the day too.....I said no thanks. Thank you, you seem to know more anout these trucks than GM does.
that little magnet is just there to extend the range of the charger so it goes through more material but in most new phones it will just stop the charging because its considered a foreign object it used to work with the older style of charging but because of the newer fast charging it doesnt work very good video showing people how to do this for free instead of destroying their console to fit an aftermarket charger in it :)
Just did this on 2015 Tahoe, works perfect, no issues, just removed magnet, left coil plugged in. No issues with power cycling. Worst part was prying off the cover.
Just did this on my 2017 Sierra and it worked like a charm with my iPhone 8 and a case. I only removed the tiny magnet to accomplish the charging. For tools you will need a trim remover (amazon has some cheap options) and 2 small torx screw drivers (I forget exactly what size). After watching the video a few times it took about 15 minutes to do the fix. In a 45 minute the phone charged from 52 - 75% sitting on the pad which is about standard for normal wireless charging.
I did the same. Tested and work with my iPhone X. My car is 2016 Yukon Denali.
Thank you for helping
ayedh alasiry going to try this on my 17 Silverado with a iPhone x too. Hoping it will work
ayedh alasiry Hi! Did you have to cut/alter the pad area to fit your X?
I just did this in my boyfriends 2017 GMC Sierra 3500 Denali!!!! He just thought he bought a new truck with something that didn’t work!! Fantastic!!!!! Thanks so much!!!
All the way to today. This made it possible to charge my Iphone 11 Pro Max(with no case on it) and i did have to cut the + off of the pad and flip it but in emergencies it will work. I can't wait to be drving down the road and suprise my wife with the sound of a ding. haha. Now we just need someone to 3d print a larger plastic mold and a larger rubber pad! 2021 Here we are!
Update. My wife still hasn’t noticed a couple of times me placing my phone down and it charging. Haha. Wonder how long it will take her. It seems that I can only start the charge when our suburban is turned on it doesn’t work if placed after. But if placed on before the car starts it works. Although it’s not as convenient as I’d like it is a great thing to have during an emergency.
Thank u man i did it on my 2016 silverado ltz i pull that thing off and now woerks with iphone 13 pro max and 14 pro
Thanks Cheddarnut - very helpful video! I just did this in my 2017 Chevy Traverse Premier and it seems to work well so far. I do have to remove the IPhone 8 from the case for it to charge, but that isn't a big deal. The Traverse is actually a much easier project than the armrest-mounted chargers as the module is right under the rubber charging pad. No trim to remove or anything like that. The hardest part was finding the socket to fit the nuts holding down the module (5/16").
I tried this hack. Didn’t work for me. But I did find 2 of 3 wires broken at console hinge like other users found. These broken wires would trip two fuses that affected sunroof and rear AC port. Fixed and replaced fuses and roof works agaian
I think that magnet is part of what detects whether there is a phone that can be wirelessly charged there or not. If removing it keeps the charger powered on all the time, that's a problem if you lay anything metal in that tray that is not your phone as it will heat up to several hundred degrees overtime. I may be wrong. An easy way to find out is to do just that; throw some keys or pliers or something metal on it and see if it heats up. If so, you may want to put that magnet pad back or wire in an inline switch. Or test it with a multimeter to see if it's powered up all the time with the magnet pad removed. Seems like it shouldn't work at all if it indeed the sensor, but who knows? Just be careful about it, is all.
There's an indicator light that shows when the charger is outputting power.
Plus you're getting nuked by EMF lol
OK, update based on Boz Kurts comment ... I called and ordered a charging module for a 2018 2500HD Denali, the same model as my 2017. The dealer confirmed the modules are different part numbers, but they were not sure about any other details. The rubber pad and tray are the exact same part numbers on 2018 vs 2017 so that did not change. Once I get the module I will post the part numbers and another video about whether it works or not. The dealer did say that there was no service bulletin or plan that they had been given to retrofit anything. Most likely the feature isn't heavily used so people just don't care that much.
please share part number!! thanks!!
Did you find out what the part number is?
Any update yet?
kindly share the P/N
Ok. I did this mod and it did work. However, it only works if I set the phone in the charger and turn on the truck. Charges perfectly until I lift my phone out of the charger. If I set it back in the charger...nothing. I have to turn off the truck and restart and then it will recognize the phone again and begin charging. I’m using an iPhone X. I will be ordering the 2018 charger.
Worked to remove the magnet only on my 2017 Silverado. Until I put my otter box cover back on, if I leave the outer rubber off the case it works. Rubber case makes it to big to fit on the charger pad. iPhone X.
Wow! Heck yes! Works on my ‘16 Sierra. Fantastic hack. Fine job sir.
I removed just the magnet, but left the green “repeater”. This DIY fix appears to work well in my 2016 Yukon Denali. My iPhone X needs to be pushed all the way back on the rubber mat, but otherwise has worked every time. I wonder what is the purpose of the magnet???
‘17 Silverado, left the coil but removed the magnet, works perfect. Iphone SE
Thank you. This worked perfectly in my 2015 Platinum Escalade and my iPhone XS :)
My only concern, is what was that magnetic piece used for? Am I possibly breaking something else? LOL
This worked perfectly on my 2016 Denali HD.
I installed my new charging module and works like it supposed to and got it for $130 plus tax from my dealer. They gave me discount so I would suggest you guys out there if you planning to get 2018 models charging module and do it yourself ask for discount.
I did this in my 2017 Yukon Denali XL. Removed both the magnet and the green repeater and it works for my iPhone X. Is there a reason you did the swap to the 2018 charger as opposed to leaving the old modified one? Is there a difference in performance in the charge?
Just did this on the 2018 Traverse and works great for the iPhone 8 and the X! Thanks
Took 15min and works perfect on my 2017 Silverado 2500HD High Country Addition, Thumbs UP!
Outstanding!!! Thanks brother great video! I had to take the magnet off and put the green thing back on and it works!
Not sure if this would help any one but I found this.. For certain model year 2015-2018 customers, GM Service Bulletin #18-NA-153 is available to upgrade your vehicle's wireless charger to have latest compatibility. GM's compatibility chart link:
www.gmc.com/content/dam/gmc/na/us/english/index/gmc-life/all-stories/wireless-charging/02-pdfs/GM%20Wireless%20Charging%20Compatible%20Devices%20-%202019-08-30.pdf
My wifes Galaxy S7 would never charge on her 15 Yukon Denali, was told it was defective and they would warranty it, until it came time to do it. Then the dealer said it was a compatibility issue and offered this service bulletin and quote to replace for an updated charging pad for $200.
Worked great on my 2016 silverado ltz I have a note 20 samsung galaxy android. Thank you.
2017 Silverado. I opened up the module and removed the magnet. Now our Galaxy S10 and Apple iPhone 10 both charge.
I have tried it with my iPhone 8+ and it works just fine and I have a 2018 Yukon Denali ..... but I don’t like it very much since it get extremely hot ....
Just tried it on my iPhone 11 didn’t work 😢
Also can you post what interior pry tool you used? I would like to buy one that works well. Thanks for the great video!
I try to remove only the small magnets and it is working well now
I threw a bunch of cow magnets on the seat of my '98 K1500, and my S7 charges everywhere!
Great info...So is the hack the best way to resolve the iPhone X issue or should the new 2018 part be purchased and installed?
Only removed magnet and worked on 2017 chevy cruze
where is the magnet?
It’s the magnet. Remove it and works for me
Which part is the magnet? The shell? Any pics
Whst magnet please help the rest of us kind sir? Thanks sharing is caring
YAY...pretty simple. Thank you!
Just get the new, Qi standard module with the 3 pads, GM 12521066 and the harness from Harness Dr. Plug and play fix.
My updated wireless charger unit came with a receptacle extension cord so I did not have to modify the electrical connections. With the excess cable and receptacle I just tape them down flat against the unit and everything snapped into place.
D Palm can you provide a link?

Tempted to try it! My iphone has a thin case..wonder if it will still charge?
Hello thanks for the new pinneding comment. Would this work for a Chevy Impala 2016 please? I have an iPhone X as well, also if I was to go ahead and order this part and have someone install it. It the wireless charging faster is slower? Is it really worth going through with this please?
2016 Sierra - Iphone 8 - did not work for me. Tried different combinations of no magnet and no "repeater" and it never recognized my phone. Thanks for the vid either way.
As the creator said in the pinned comment, this video is a bit out-dated and overly complex.
GM made a new part for Chevy’s GMC’s, and Cadillacs
It works perfect. Everything is plug and play!
I made a video on my channel showing how to swap it in step by step if anyone seeing this is interested :)
Shoutout to this guy tho for reverse engineering his own solution. Very impressive!
Anyone try replacing the magnet with a larger one? Would that make it work better?
You magnificent man!
Took cover off phone. No change magnet out green thing out also yes it was plugged back in. (That was my first thought)🤔
Hey guys I want to do this on my 17 Silverado any new info ? Still remove magnet and put green part back? Or is it best to buy the parts with wagtail or modify wagtail thanks for any response and Merry Christmas to all
Its not a repeater. It’s a return for the Power overload.
Would this work with a 2015 suburban and an iPhone XR?
Anyone done this on a 2018? The plastic cover on the bottom seems different. It's one piece even over the length of the hinges and am having a hell of a time getting it off, even with trim tools.
2016 Denali - did the same thing and it doesn't work at all. Once I removed the magnet, nothing. before I would at least have the charging light come on for a couple sec.
Could it works with any other phone? Which is not in the list of phones that does works?
You’re the man.
Didn’t work on my 2016 Denali 1500. :(
Genius.
So I just added the green coil back on and it charges without stopping after 20 seconds so whoever said to remove it was wrong bc my 2016 GMC 3500 works better with the coil on. Without it I noticed it was getting hot which was most likely causing it to cut off. I just made a video showing it charging with the green coil on and removed it and put it back with an iPhone XS and it works 👍🏻 I’m a tech so solving issues and troubleshooting is what I love
Ryan Dawson where’s the video found?
Case G I have it what’s your email? I’ll send it. But that coil doesn’t do crap on or off which I will show in the video
Ryan Dawson so would you recommend removing the magnet or getting the new part? Thanks
Case G just get the new part and saved yourself the headache it works with or without it. It just depends on the placement. The first corner or bump you hit it will stop charging. For 90 bucks go with the new part and be done
Bad ass video thanks
I have Escalade 2016 it’s work iPhone x10 only iPhone 12 doesn’t work
This didn't work for me.
So now it’s charging all the time and your elbow is getting constant radiation possibly?
EDWARD SCOTT II, DDS it's a magnetic field lol not radiation
😂😂😂😂😂
Didn’t work for me X 2 on a 2016 Sierra or a 2018 Traverse
Tried this on my 17 all terrain with iPhoneX. Did not work.
The dealership sale the upgraded part for 99
Removed the tiny magnet and also tried to remove the big plate and it didnt work for Note 8
Joe Hall google GM part #84526978. I got the new module that comes with pigtail adapter from Tasca parts for $71.... $87 with tax and shipping and had it within a week. Installed in 5 mins and works perfect on 2017 Silverado
@@di2082 I ended up buying the 2018 and newer unit with the wiring harness adapter and it works at least but it pauses a lot! Have a very thin case on it but even when I take the case off it still pauses.
I did this on my 2016 GMC 3500 Denali. With an IPhone XS but had to make small cut so the phone would fit plush. But now the only issue is it charges for like 20 secs then turns off. If I pick it back up and set it down it charges for another like 15-20 seconds then stops? Any ideas? Please help I’ve come this far lol
Ryan Dawson just spend the $98 for a 2018 charging module, and $23 on the correct adapter cable. Install them and you are good to go for an iPhone.
Al DeLuca I thought it had to be a 2019? Are you 110% sure this will work on 2016 GMC HD 3500? Do you happen to know part number for the parts you mentioned? Or links?
Here you go - GM13521066@@ryandawson3078
The part number you put says doesn’t work with my vehicle??? I have a 2016 HD3500 Diesel Denali. Do you know for sure it works with my truck?
Ryan Dawson this part works perfect and is $71

I did the same things and it is working fine but when I remove the device and put it back it’s not working the solution is to turn off the car and run it back
Mahmood Alnajjar same
بعد ما ازلت القطعه المغناطيس صار يشتغل معك على طول بدون ما تطفي السياره و تشغلها عشان يشحن ؟
Mahmood Alnajjar .
نعم صار يشتغل تمام
This did not work on my Chevy HC. Should it? Everything looked the same with your GMC and my High Country.
Well, results have been about 90 percent worked and few that didn't. You can alternatively order the 2018 module and either swap it or have a dealership do it. Someone posted their dealer did it under warranty but most have said the dealer knew nothing.
thecheddarnut dealers are clueless.
thecheddarnut thanks for the info. Gives me something to go on now.
Everyone just buy the 2018 module the end
I didn’t see it was charging
2017 Silverado ,followed steps. Still doesn't charge
What did you remove some are saying remove magnet but put the green part back on? Did you get it working I’m going to try this on a 17 Silverado soon any new info?
Well that didn’t work. 2017 Silverado Ltz iPhone 10.
worked on 2017 Silverado
🤣
Sadly, this did not work with an iPhone XS on a 2016 Chevrolet Tahoe. I blame Apple.
I was told the same thing about iPhone 8 charging by my salesman. Took my 2017 Yukon Denali back to see what was going on and they found it wouldn't charge an Android phone either. They replaced my charging unit and was then told I couldn't charge an iPhone. I asked them about installing the charging unit from a 2019 Yukon that would work and all I got was a blank stare!
After looking around on the internet I found a new charging unit with the necessary Qi technology at an online GM supplier for $99.40. It arrived today and it took me 16 minutes to swap the units. I modified the connector with a cordless Dremel with a stone attached.
Now my iPhone 8 charges perfectly in my Yukon!

Rick did the connector from the old unit not matchup with the new charging unit?
Save a pretty penny
🤔 iPhones suck? Oh wait a sec. It's because it's not an Apple product so it's not comparable with iJunk 😲💩🤣
Jack Daniels ???
