Great video! We always try to design things to appear as OEM as possible. To the untrained eye this certainly looks like a factory setup. One of the other things that differentiates our product against the competition is that our chargers fit larger phones - the competitions charger is narrower and larger phones do not fit.
Great point!
Installed in my ‘21 Silverado last week. Super disappointed, I anticipated a fast charger based on everything you said in this video. Basically my phone gets super hot and “holds” the current charge level. The stock wireless charger in the truck is much better and the phone barely gets warm while using it. Did I get a lemon or something?
Doesn’t sound right. Something isn’t right. Mine sees multiple phones (family) with regular cases on them and no issues, just faster charging. I would contact BoostAutoParts
Great engineering. These are actually awesome constraints that you added to the engineering process. Particularly,
1. being able to hold wider phones
2. Appear OEM as possible
@@lacascadaobregon Thanks for the positive feedback!
Wer you purchase the charging phone
BoostAutoParts.com
Tanks I being watched all you due on you truck loved tanks
Does anyone have the exact one I need to get for my Gmc 22 Silverado ?
I would contact BoostAutoParts. I think if you have the same seats as me, it will be the same part
Awesome !! Will do thank you !!
Those cup holders in the backseat, are they after market? Or did they come with the truck?
I have a ‘23 sierra with no cup holders in the rear. Wondering if they made an attachment.
Hi there! These cupholders are original for the back passengers. 2021 AT4 Crew Cab configuration
Any issues with overheating? I recently purchased the Xipoo wirelesss charger from Amazon which is similar and it even follows same installation instructions as this, but when I place my phone on it, at first it seems to be working okay, but then the light starts blinking and it overheats. Thinking about giving yours a try. This is for a 2021 GMC Sierra with the full center console.
No overheating issues with mine. I have heard that too thick of a case can cause many of these devices to overheat. Maybe try without a case and see.
Thanks for the video. I ordered one and installed it today in my Silverado High Country. Your video was great! The only thing I did different was drilling the holes. I used a smaller bit then finished the hole with a Dremel. This left nice smooth edges.
Nice work!
Thoughts on upgrading the stock in-console charger with a faster one, either in addition to the armrest charger or just keeping the stock location but with a faster charger?
I have looked into doing this. During that time there weren't any options I was fond of, unless I went totally custom and gutted the old system and did some chopping up of the charging area. I pretty much never use that location for my phone.
Can this install work on a GMC 2021 AT 4 with out coming from the factory with out any charging pads.
As long as the armrest is identical. This one is for the fixed style center console.
Absolutely great video. I followed your instructions, and in 20 minutes, it was back together looking factory installed....THANK YOU!!!!
You’re welcome and thanks for watching!
Where can I get the charger? The link says 404 page not found
It is still on their site. I checked. I think the link broke because they now offer the jump seat version. As soon as I am provided a new link, I will post it
You don't have heated and cooled rear seats.... that has more wiring in the console.
I have heated and cooled front seats and heated rear seats
Is it still working fine ? Just don’t want to drill in my truck if i will end it up having to remove it Lol
Mine is good for our various iphones. Can only speak for myself but we use it as the primary and the original as a secondary
uh you need a minimum of 45watt to be considered fast charging
Compared to what this truck comes with it is significantly faster.
did the vehicle come equipped with wireless charging already?
Yes but it is lower powered which makes it extremely slow. Also the truck holds 5 people so having a couple wireless charges is a nice addition
I’m so afraid to take things apart! But I’ll do it!
Just take your time
Installed this exactly like you did as per your video thx. I have a Samsung flip so the stock slow one the phone had to be propped ahead an inch. This one works perfectly because of the 3 coils.
I installed mine today on my 2019 sierra denali but the red light continues to blink red. I disconnected and reconnected and still same issue
I would contact BoostAutoParts. What happens if you long press the power on off button?
Hey Don
It continues to blink red
I like it I have the same setup in my gmc 3500 dually but one thing how do it charge if you have a hard case with it still charge with your phone inside the case?
It all depends on the thickness and material of the case. Some report Otterbox’s have worked, while others haven’t.
@Donslife Okay thank you I will give it a try, I will have to look at your video a few more times.
Great video!
Are these still good or waste of money? I know its a 2yr old video
I still use mine. The comments from others are pretty recent still too
@@Donslife thank you
Where did you get chrome trim for inside your cab
I have the AT4 trim, so it came with chrome accents, brushed aluminum accents
Do you think it would fit in my 2023 at4hd?
You might want to contact BoostAutoParts and ask. I didn’t see it listed but if your console armrest is identical to mine, then I think it would.
So is it MagSafe connection? Or the phone slides around? As well I have the same set up as you, so that is considered a complete council right? Or is it a jump seat?
It’s a complete console version. The pad is ‘grippy’ rubber so most cases or bare phones won’t slide around. Not a magsafe product
@@Donslife do you have a discount code from them and it still holding up very well? I have a iPhone 13. It looks like it works with that
@joshr19821 I wish I had something for you. They are working on a solution to offer a unique Donslife code. Nothing yet unfortunately. Mine is holding up just fine. I had made this video with an 11 Pro Max, Now I have a 13 Pro max and was charging it on the pad today.
Just installed mine after watching your video. Thank You!
Nice! Thanks for watching!
I know it says its for full console only, but shouldnt it work for a bench seat like i have on my 21 Elevation, the armrest is the same it looks like and it has the USB ports on the back bottom to tap into?
Maybe take your armrest apart first and inpect and compare to my video footage. You’ll probably want to tap into the 12v cigarette lighter style adapter too. The harness is long, but could be extended. You could look up the part numbers on a GM parts site and see if the bezel/tray are the same part # first too.
@@Donslife i looked and it does have the cigarette lighter beside the 2 USB ports on the back i think the difference is on your armrest you have the leather in the middle front section of the tray.. mine looks like the plastic tray runs all the way to the handle to open it.. i might just buy one and see if it works if not send it back lol. Thanks for the info!
@@cooterschipper good luck! Maybe contact them first. I seem to remember the packaging said no returns if opened.
@@cooterschipper The jump seat looks similar, but is a different shape. We are developing the jump seat version as of writing this comment (12/7/21) - reach out to our team via email and ask to be notified when it's released if you're interested.
@@boostautoparts thanks for the info!
Ordered the charging system and installed as instructed works great but... I read the GMC manual on the original charger a claims 18.5 watts of charging.. which is good.. don't have a way to verify that though..
GMC will eventually steal all your mod ideas. Lol. This is a great video. Shit I didn’t even know existed. Thanks.
Be kinda cool if they did
Do they do it for the 2018 model?
Not that I am aware of
Taking delivery of the 2022 soon. Watched this entire video, then downloaded the manual for the new truck. They fit a 15W charger in already. Guess it couldn't hurt to have two in the same truck, but I feel a little better now knowing that it won't take years to charge!
Having another charger for passengers never hurts!
Can you change the guts of the original charger in the dash to make it a faster charger? That could be your next project ……?
Sounds like a challenge. I suppose it would be possible
Does it fit Escalade 2016?
Check out BoostAutoParts.com for compatibility information
Hey Don did you paint your frames around fog lights? I noticed yours are white
My friend, I made a video! Wrapped them : th-cam.com/video/0yr4F4_zBdE/w-d-xo.html
Well... Know what I'm buying for my at4 now. Thank you
Does your M4 have the wireless charging pad? Mine was tragically slow
It has a non-Qi compatible one. So I added a USB one in the armrest and it fits inside with the lid closed
hey body, thanks for the videos very helpfully. Could you please post the wire harness number or just the link to goin directly to buy it. Thank you in advance,
Thanks for the install video, a second charging pad will be nice for road trips with the family. I installed this on my 2020 AT4.
1000%
Hi, I thought this was a great video but I was wondering if maybe you can use same wiring harness to hook to your stock wireless charger and boost power that way. If you can I would to see video if that is possible. 2 high power wireless charging pads would be great.
I suppose it is possible. It would take some modifications and require removing the original
Does it work with Magsafe?
My iphone 13 pro max with a magsafe case works fine and without it
Thank you Don! for helping me installing a charging pad in my new GMC I used your video to help me get it done. Excellent work on your part.
My pleasure ✌🏼
Agree. With the price tag on the truck GM should've focused on those attention to details.
Great video Don. I chose the boost for the exact same reasons as you (well except for the slow factory charging because I didn't get that feature in my Sierra). I even used the step drill bit like you did for the console lid hole. The only thing I did different was attaching my power wires to the lid hinge with a ziptie so I didn't drill a hole in the plastic for the loom. The loom just fits the gap by the hinge and the ziptie keeps it in place.
Good tip!
Since it’s not as deep as the original does the phone tend to slide out while driving. Or does the mat do a good job of keeping it in place?
@@joshwolf3410 For normal driving yes, I have had no movement of my phone. I suspect in a panic stop situation the phone may slide of the front.
Does it works on only at4 my truck is a x31 model
You have to have the same exact stationary center console for the charger I installed. Their website can guide you as well since they keep developing new products that might work for you
@Donslife thank you my console is the same as your bucket seats up front
I’ve never heard of you before but I just bought a 2017 Sierra and I’m having problems with my wireless charging that’s how I came across your video. I love how detailed you were in your video and I’m looking forward to watching your other videos. You definitely just earned a new subscriber.
Cool! Welcome to the channel. Lots of variety here too
I thought i was the only one with the pointless charging pad was take it out an replace with a fully arm rest that has no charging pad
I have a TB so it doesn't come with any wireless charging. I saw that I could order a stock set up from a gm website but heard how slow the wireless charger was and the overheating when doing the retrofit. This is a great option . Thanks for the vid!!!
For sure! My pleasure. The harness is long enough to reach another 12v socket if you don’t have one in the rear console
Thank you sir, been following you for a good min, just did this mod and it works like a charm, followed your steps and it came out to perfection, once again Thank You!!!
Glad I could help
Have a 2019 AT4 and this channel is great! (little late to the party but hey, I made it)
You are really good at making these videos. I just got a black 2021 AT4 with the same packages as you and your videos have helped me so much. Thanks!
Thanks man! I do appreciate the comment.
Would you happen to know if this fits the 2022 Sierra 1500 Denali. Its not an exact option on the site. Emailed them and they replied back saying the mirrors will fit. What mirrors lol.
If yours has the same interior as mine and not the refresh, then it should work. I just don’t know if the refresh has the exact same bezel size in the refresh models. BoostAutoParts has been really good to deal with, I am guessing there is a misunderstanding somewhere
I enjoyed the instructional video even though I have a ‘23 Silverado with a different charger (delisted under constraint). Question- why don’t you replace the factory charger as well with a higher power charger?
Anyway, I’m an ex Chevrolet mechanic (37 years on the job), and I have been learning “old dog- new dog tricks”, and thoroughly enjoying watching and learning. I’ve even done a few mods on my own truck.
Keep up the good work!
- Michael
Thanks Michael. I had considered upgrading the factory charger, but never chased that project down.
Great video... installed in my GMC Sierra AT4 today. Would not work at first. Realized it was the metal case I had on my phone. All thumbs up after that.
Does this work for a 2019 GMC Sierra SLT?
Kids can't use their devices if the devices are resting on the charger.
On the 2023 Sierra 2500, they no longer have that spot in the arm rest. What a bummer! You have great videos and explain very well.
Thank you 😊
My 2021 AT4 wireless charger only seems to work with iPhones. Any idea if this works with Android/Pixel phones?
It should if the phone is Qi compatible. Some Android and Pixel phones are not Qi compatible, as well as older iPhones
Great video and very explained, I bought the same product and will install it this evening :)
Have fun! Thanks for watching!!
I like the trim lighting but was curious if it could look as good as it did in some other Vechiles
Solid vid Don
🙏🏻
Thanks for this video. I want a wireless charger for my 21 Silverado with the jump seat. Great job man.
Glad I could help!
PLOT TWIST: iPhones charge at a maximum of 7.5W on Qi chargers. Regardless what the charger is rated at, your iPhone will limit it to 7.5W. You can get 15W using only a certified MagSafe charger.
Unless you’re using Androids, this was a pointless mod. Sorry to say.
I have a Samsung phone too. What is the output of the OEM wireless charger? Either it is lower than 7.5watts output or the coil design is less efficient. It could be both. The BoostAuto product does charge our iPhones noticeably faster. No regrets
Dang! Definitely need this, thank you for the video!
So far so good!
Nice planning on doing this to my truck also.
Great video, Any idea how to convert the main console with wireless charging? Bought a 21 Yukon and because of chip shortage, they didn't include the wireless charger. I tried adding in my Samsung wireless charger which didn't receive enough power to the actual charging pad.
I would have to do some research.
We offer a wireless charger for the 21+ Yukons
@@boostautoparts can you please post a link here? I have a Yukon 2021 too.
@@caseyxiang Our 2019+ GM full console charger works, however the 21+ Yukon/Tahoe don't have a rear 12V outlet so we are working on a new video showing how to install in the Yukon/Tahoe.
Sure getting a lot out of your videos. Just found your channel so getting caught up. Got my charger on order. Got all my badges on my 21 elevation “dipped” thanks to you, love the look. Thanks.
Happy you found your way here!
I really like the idea but have you had issues with the phone sliding around while driving? It looks like with the charging pad the phone almost sits flush with the console. I have an otterbox but my phone has slid around if I leave it sit up there.
Hi Brian, a few people have been asking the sliding question. I wanted to do my own testing first before responding. My specific case has s smooth and not rubbery and so far it has not moved despite the shallow recess. I have had to do some pretty hard stops and no issue. Again, this is with my hard case. I can say I actually love it so far. The rubber mat is pretty grippy on its own too.
I wish i can put 📸 of my work thx alot buddy my princess are too way happy with this new wireless charger God bless everyone this day ❤️
Happy it worked out for you!
I love all you due on you truck I going to due this thing and next the android play whi being talk tanks
🙏🏻
Great video, but why couldn’t you just replace the charger that came with truck? Thank you.
As of today. I still have never found a product that could replace the original one. It is integrated into the console and not easily replaced or cut out
I ordered the charging system and followed your instructions to a T. I really appreciate your videos as they are very helpful. Excellent charging system. 👍
Great to hear!
Have wanted to do this since watching the video in releases! Followed it step by step tonight!!! Thanks Don!!!
Good luck! You’ve got this!
Hey Don! Will this work on my AT4 even if it didn’t come with the wireless charging option?
Yes as long as the console is the same one. There is a smaller fold down console/armrest on lower trim models and it is not compatible due to the cut out being different
Drilling those two 1/2 circle holes would be painful! my AT4 is only 29 days old - might have to wait a bit before doing this! love the outcome.
😊
Hey guy, love you videos, a quick? Can you upgrade the provided charger GMC provided?
Thanks! I am not aware of an upgrade to the existing charger. I am keeping my eyes open though
cool, might get one for mine but wondering how big of a job it would be to replace the OEM charger with one of those instead of in the arm rest.
Unless someone develops a direct plug and play replacement, it would be a more difficult job than this install. (My opinion)
My truck has the the 3rd seat will it still work?
Unfortunately the sizing is a little different, so no. I think BoostAutoParts is working on a version.
@@Donslife thank you I was about to buy the charger
Were didi u order it
BoostAutoParts.com
Thanz sir
I love this install it’s clean and something that should have been installed from the factory. Only concern I have is that it sits high and the phone might potentially slide off. I could be wrong tho. Would love to hear your experience with it so far.
So far it is pretty ‘grippy’. I suppose it would depend on the case more than anything
Do you know if it charges faster that using the 110 plug that's provided?
Depends on the plug you’re using. This is 15watts. The wall plugs by Apple for 110v are 5 watts and 12 watts I think. So faster than the 5 watt and probably closer to the 12 watt since there is probably some efficiency loss with the wireless.
Awesome must have product and great video. Thank you! ✌🏼
Agreed! Mine gets used all the time
Just installed as advertised. Thanks Don!! Just installed Pulsar in same day. Really luv my AT4.
That’s great 😃
Have you looked into upgrading the OEM charging pad to a Qi fast charger?
I have briefly. It would take some fabrication and I don’t know if I am ready to do that. I have been super busy with work 😔
Great video Don! New idea for my GMC 3500HD!! Thank you!
Awesome! 👏
or maybe do something in center back seat console or even the big space on top front dash under windshield
Good ideas 💡
Been wanting wireless charging in my Trail Boss since I bought it. This looks great! Trigger pulled! Thanks for the video.
Cool! I love mine. Kids love it even more
Do you know of any issues installing this with a console vault inserted?
I don’t think it would interfere since the lid is the main install location. I would suggest seeing if the rear cupholder section comes apart without any issues. Then you can see if running the wires would still be the same as my installation demo.
Just installed mine using your video.. Thank you for the walk through.
Super!
can you tell us where and how much was the new charger and does the harness comes with it?
I think it was $135 USD when I ordered one
Do they make one like this that replaces slow one in original location
Not at the moment
Can you do this on a sierra that does not come with this feature… like a slt?
Yes if it has the same console. The harness is long enough for tapping into the 12v at the front if you don’t have one in the back.
Hi my truck don’t have have one, you think can I put one in??
I think so. There is a long cable to attach to a front 12v source too. Have a look on the company’s website boostautoparts.com
I just installed mine and have question of the flushess of the charger. I feel like mine doesn't fit as flush. I have a 2021 at4 and followed every step to the T. I expect it to be a little higher but I feel like the end toward the dash is a little high. Any thoughts?
Does it look like it is sitting high with the rubber mat removed?
@@Donslife I would imagine so. Tightened every screw to pull it forward but not sure what I did wrong. Just watched video again. It's nothing you did wrong of course. This video was fantastic.
As long as you don’t love the 12v plug in the back, looks good! I wish it were a little deeper and maybe my model is a little different (2020 GMC 2500) but with my driving I fear that shallow would go flying around. 😂
How would it work with a big phone like a iPhone 12 Pro Max? The stock “cubby” is tight
It will fit unless your case makes it too big. They made is shallow and non-slip so the bigger phones will make contact with the pad without touching the sides.
@@Donslife awesome thanks for the reply!
Another awesome video! I just got mine and will install it soon!!
Mine gets used everyday
What charger is this and where do I buy one for my 2021 Silverado LTZ
BoostAutoParts wireless charging pad
@@Donslife Thank you!
Will it cause any issues by puting a higher amperage fuse in the harness?
I don’t recommend putting a higher amperage fuse in the circuit. The circuit as it is should be sufficient for multiple charging devices in various ports at the same time
Sad that this is not an option on 2023 models...
Neither on 2024 models it seems
Can you still use chargers in the back?
Everything works as it did before. Nothing sacrificed
can’t wait to charge my phone so speedy 😎⚡️
Epic!
I found the link in the description. but the part is out of stock....we will be looking for when its not.
Mine gets used everyday!
Back in stock, but who knows for how long!
