Denali Wireless armrest charging pad

[Daunntlessone]

I have a 2015 Denali and use the wireless charging pad every time I am in the truck. I was going to get a 5.5 inch phone yet it will not fit in the charger which is a non starter for me.

Is the 2016 Denali wireless charger in the armrest the same as the 2015?

Yes the size is the same, but some people have had luck getting larger phones to fit by removing the plastic tray

How is this done and what does it look like afterwards

I just purchased a Samsung Galaxy S6 edge + with the 5.7" screen. There is one specific position to place it on the pad for the charging to work. No modification needed.

I have a note 5 and fits without any case on it but can't get wireless to work. All I get is the lightning bolt to show up on the Denali screen for about 10 seconds then disappear. the phone never shows the charging icon.
What is the specific position?

I rest the bottom of the phone on the rubber stop, so it sits at a slight slope. The phone beeps, the lightning bolt shows up on the Denali's screen and it's good to go. It won't work in any other position. The phone JUST fits width-wise in the cradle. It's not the fastest charging (20% in an hour) but it works.

Well I tried it in the same position as yours.. The truck screen only shows the lighting bolt for a second or 2 then off. I moved the phone all over the place and no go. The phone fits perfect in the area too so that sucks. I'll ask the service department next time I take it in for service.

Note 5 fits perfectly without cover it's the only 5+ phone that fits

I've not had any luck with my Note 5 charging either. I'll test some other devices (GS6 edge +, GS6, GS6 edge) tomorrow and confirm my findings.

Just a quick update...

The GS6 flat and GS6 edge charge with normal operation on the mat. The GS6 edge + and the Note 5 both try initiating the charging however, it appears the device is just large enough that it doesn't rest completely against the pad thus hindering the charge from continuing. I get the green lightning bolt on the Denali's display but nothing from those two devices. Seems like the Denali initiates the charge but the device doesn't acknowledge so it stops.
