I want to remove the wireless charger from my wife's 16 convertible. Does anyone know the procedure to do this. I replaced the one in my 17 Silverado with an aftermarket charger to charge my iPhone 8. It worked great. Now I want to pull her's out and mod the place where the phone sits to get it working with her iPhone. I don't want to go yanking on plastic and break something. If i can get the plastic off I know how to do the rest. I will be glad to post a how to once complete.

Good luck! Very interested to see how this works out.

My s8 with a case doesn't fit onto he wireless charger, wish there was a way to make it just half inch wider.... even less than half an inch.

My S8 fits great! Had to cut the rubber pad at the ends with a sharp knife, looks great and fits perfectly. I don't use cases though, just the phone.

the iPhone 8+ does not fit either but my 8 does and it still does not charge. Plan is to remove the panel, put in an after market charger and work on a new piece of rubber to make the larger phone fit. But I have to figure out how to remove the panel and access everything first.

I'll definitely be interested in knowing how you replace the charging element. I have an iPhone X that fits and doesn't charge. Apparently Apple has chosen the latest, faster more powerful Xi standard, and most GM vehicles use the original Xi standard. Since some of the 2018 GM vehicles use the new standard, I am hoping the parts are available.

I will check with some of my friends at GM to see if they have info on how to disassemble and reassemble the charging pad.

The Camaro Charger is a joke, even if it works. At 70 mph having to reach behind me to grap it is stupid. That’s if it hasn’t slid off the charger and under the seat somewhere.

I would like to see some pics about the charger pad itself, the (un)install and maybe the required harness, if necessary. My '17 does not have it and I would like one.
If you take it out completely, mind selling it?
Or does anyone have part numbers for it?

Thank you

Following this intently. GM used an untimely outdated pad in this car. Several of their models as of 2018 got the updated unit, but not the Camaro.

I am seriously considering swapping it out for a good one for the iPhone X I just got.

Yup. My situation exactly. Still waiting to hear from some of my folks about a service procedure to disassemble / re-assemble the pad. Anybody got clues on a replacement charger that might fit?

I will have to go back and find the list of 2018 vehicles that work...I would like to think that one, or all of them would use a pad that could fit in there. GM has a convenient habit of picking a one-size-fits all component for stuff people can't see.

Enclave, Escalade, Tahoe, Suburban, Silverado, all GMC products. I might be missing a couple.

Ugg was so hoping that i would be able to charge my note 8 on the pad but its to small, my wifes S8 fits with case off but being the cars so small as it is, and just 1 dc plug( Radar for now), im goin to have to make sure my phone is charged well before driving long distances or carry my portable charger
