Official support documentation from Apple with regards to which car manufacturers the iPhone 8, 8+, and most likely the X, will work with.

Thanks for posting. Looks like wireless charging only works on 2018 models. This statement from Apple says it all:

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 8 and iPhone 8 Plus.

Maybe it's changed for 2018 but it is shown as a separate part number for the 2017 Denali (with the charger) -

But it looks like the charging module is a separate part number too.

I wouldn't think it would change all of the sudden for the 2018 models but GM doesn't always do things that make sense.

In that link the charging pad is called out as a separate part but is being sold along side the armrest assembly unit so hopefully gmparts will update their site soon to include the 2018 models. Only bummer is the cost. Doesn't seem it would be worth the $350+ just to have the wireless charging ability. I'd rather find a Qi charger that could fit in the little cubby in the center console and put the phone there if I was that in need of wireless charging.
