Iphone 8 not wireless charging
I have a Chevrolet Tahoe that has a charging pad on the center console. Putting the iPhone 8 on the pad does nothing. I know the charging pad works because it charges a Samsung phone.

2018 models work out the door - at least it did this morning with my X in a 2018 Sierra. I have a service appt tomorrow to see if their tech can get it to work with my X on my 2017.
I tried to explain this months ago and apparently the answer I gave was not well received 😁
Hopefully your post will clarify the cause of this problem. Thank you Rick!
Was this the fix you used? Simply removing the "repeater" and it worked for you? Seems easy enough

The best choice you have is to purchase a mophie battery case for your phone. It charges wirelessly just perfect in my 2017 HD Duramax.
Thanks. I have created an account and commented on the thread. I have ordered my replacement module and connector.....now I wait.
Perfect, thanks for the info. You can save about $5 in free shipping even though the part is a little more expensive. https://www.gmpartsdirect.co/oem-parts/gm-f-module-13521066
I am going to do this on my 2016 Yukon Denali. What tool did you use to unpin the old connector? I see there are some GM specific picks available or can it be done with a generic pick?
I used a generic pick I had. I’ve seen videos where people used a bent staple to do it. Definitely don’t need any special tool.
That’s a great solution for iPhones 7 and below not for the new 8 and X. They have built in charging that should work with Gmc
I believe only the 2018 models work with the new Apple stuff due to the Qi certification/capability on the charging pads.
The iPhone was OK, your truck was not. Obtain the 2018 GM charging module 13521066 and the new red plug 571-2035363-4 from Mouser Electronics and change them out. Then buy the iPhone X.
