2025 Yukon AT4 Cold Air

[Bigkahuna555]

I just got a 2025 Yukon AT4, I like the vehicle. There is one odd thing, under the big screen (infotainment system) at the bottom, there is a lot of cold air coming out, as if the airbox is not sealed. Has anyone experienced this?

Is it by where the wireless phone charging pad is?

Welcome to the forum from Oregon.

Too new of a Yukon for me to have any input.

What did the dealer say?

They asked GM Canada for feedback but have not received any yet

Yes it is

That’s by design then. Did you maybe remove the rubber place mat for the wireless charging pad? It’s to keep devices from over heating while charging. There are small A/C vents ducted under the mat and you’d feel the air if you moved it.

I’ll try that, I have not moved the mat, I’ll check it out and report back

So, it is not the tray, it sits firmly in the box. The air comes from the edge underneath screen, that is not normal

I hope the dealership will get some guidance from GMC

I have a different brand car with one of these charging pads. Cannot use it because my phone overheats.

Hello all, finally heard back from the dealer, the vents on the bottom of the entertainment system are by design to cool the phone while charging, the vents under the pad, according to them, were changed to overhead to cool the phone better while charging.
I'm not so happy with that design since it spills over on your knee while driving, making your knee feel cold. I may install a small plastic shield to prevent the cold air spillage
