Iphone 8 not wireless charging

I posted this same message on another forum about wireless charging, but seeing I started this thread, I figured I would update it to. Sooooo....

So after messing around with this forever, I think I finally have it working. I have a 2017 Denali HD that came with the wireless charger that wouldn't work with my iPhone 8. I ordered the wireless charger module for a 2018 Denali HD part number 13521066 from needgmparts.com. It was 97.65 plus shipping. The new charger module has a different plug but uses the same 3 wires. I ordered the new plug from Mouser electronics part number 571-2035363-4 . It cost 71 cents. I easily unpinned the old connector. When installing the new connector, the pins on the wires had a little "nub" sticking out on one side that wouldn't allow me to slide it into the new connector. I took a small pliers and just squeezed these "nubs" down so they were flush. The pins then slid in easily and clicked in place securely. Plugged the new wireless module in and put the lid for the center console back together and it seems to be working the way it should now. Little green lightning bolt shows up on the screen when phone is on the charge pad. I can pick the phone up, set it back down and it starts charging again immediately. It's not really that finicky about where it is on the pad.

I am working with my local GMC dealer to find a solution. I tried my iPhone X in a 2018 Yukon and the wireless charging worked. I have a 2015 and have the same issue works with Samsung but not apple. The numbers in the pad (console) match 2015 and 2018. So looks like same charging pad and they are saying it may just be a software update.

The 2018 is a different wireless module with a different part number. The 2018 module also has a different connector as well. The part number for the 2017 and earlier is 2324878. Part number for the 2018 is 13521066. I never switched the rubber pad/mat if that’s what you’re referring too?

Thank you for the info. I am going to swap out the module in my Cadillac ATS. The wireless charging module is in the hidden cubby behind the HVAC controls. Unfortunately, I do not have the room to re-pin the connector. There is only about 1/2" of slack on the harness/connector. I'd like to make an adapter harness. I see you have supplied the new connector part number from mouser but would you have any way to find the part number for the female version of the old module? The goal would be to buy both connectors, pin them accordingly and plug that into the existing vehicle harness then into the new module. The only other option is to tear my dash apart. I want to avoid doing that.

Check out this forum for more info on a wiring harness and part numbers. There is a user by the name of “pgamboa” who may be working on one or be able to get you the part numbers from mouser to make one. I did read that one user was able to use the same plug and “persuade” it to fit on the 2018 module. Not sure I would like that idea though.

That Mouser part number shows a six pin connector, I thought the stock '17 had four wires and the '18 module had three wires? Is the six pin connector correct? https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/TE-Connectivity/2035363-4/?qs=%2fha2pyFaduj sv0BX5qvI3hsZP6d61IEy9RzAsNkTFU%252b3wN2…

Another option to solve the problem is the Brandmotion universal Qi wireless charging kit FDMC-1210 that can be used to retrofit 2016-17 GM vehicles. The Qi module from the kit can replace the GM module to make the system work.

Does the Brandmotion Qi option show the device charging on screen of the infotainment system? In my case, the phone is hidden away in a cubby. The only way to know if its charging is the onscreen indicator on in the infotainment systems screen.

It is the correct connector. Only three wires/pins are used in this six pin connector. But you need the six pin connector to plug into the new module.

someone know if the iphone 8 + can charged with the samsung galaxy S8 Fast Charge Wireless Charging?

Yes it can. That's what US Cellular sells you.

Really? You expect Apple to make sure their sales people know every make and model of car that will or will not wirelessly charge an iPhone? That's absurd.

The 2018 works with iPhone it’s Qi compatable.

The 2017 and earlier are not... I personally tested this.

THE QUESTION IS can we swap the coil under the console OR swap the lids?

If you're asking me, I couldn't possibly know. This is 100% a GM issue, caused by GM and can likely only be addressed by GM.
