I think it is a very useful feature, I use mine every time I am in my car, should it have been a little larger, definitely.

I took the Dremel to it. I cut off the 2 end humps. The S7 fits like a glove now. I've I were to do it all over again, I'd put a piece of metal where I want the cut to end, thus protecting the uncut surface. I have a few circular marks.

The only people that will ever notice would be a backseat passenger who is looking for it.

I don't anticipate that

But, I will be on the lookout for a replacement. If I find some, I'm going to pick up a few. One to have as a complete original, and 1 or 2 to perfect my cut

He has a iPhone so wireless charging is going to be useless for him.

Congrats!
I may try modifying mine with heat. I have a Harbor Freight plastic welding tool which should allow me to do some reshaping. I'll let you know how it goes.

I received my Galaxy S8 and fits in the charger without a case.

I got mine the other day, it fits, a little tight. I actually cut one of the bumps on one side and it fits better now.

How are you guys charging your phones!? I p ullef the rubber piece out, (super easy) took my phone out of its case, and obviously fits fine. Phone still won't charge, but What I'm reading is people are getting it to work?

I recently installed the new charging pad from GM, I made a how to video for those interested....

I got around to putting mine in today. It’s quite a bit thinner than the original.

It’s the easiest install I’ve done in a while.

There’s certainly no need to remove the bottom seat cushion to prop up the center console. It’s more work to remove the seat cushion than it is to use a plastic panel tool and gently push the seat cushion back to lift the console up.

I finally got ahold of an iPhone 8 today from a friend, charges great! Can’t wait for the new phones to come out next month

Thanks for this video. It is really helpful. Where can I get that plastic tool?
