the GM wireless charger has 2 distinct problems, which can be fixed.

#1 the GM pad is nearly 2 mm thick, this greatly reduces charging capability especially if you have a case. I replace GM pad with a thin leather or leather like fabric.

#2 the GM pad is not made big enough to support the larger phones, S7-S8 and Iphone8.
by removing the center GM pad you can enlarge the area by removing the GM pad.
Mine fits my S8 with a case on it perfectly now.

Just ran across this mod that allows iphone 8 & iphone X to charge wireless in 2017 Yukon Denali. Worked for me! First link (part1) shows more detail, but see part 2 as well for the final product. Very simple & took 10min.

I read some of the posts on the YouTube video and it seems like some are saying it’s not working for themselves do the ones that have the Yukon all say it works. I’m wondering if there’s a slight difference in the wireless charge between Tahoe’s and Yukon’s?
