Hi all. I have a 2015 Yukon SLT. I am interested in upgrading it so it supports my iPhoneX for wireless charging. However, I don't know if I already have the built-in charging which just needs an upgrade or if I need to purchase an entire system. My questions are:

1) How do I tell if I already have wireless charging built-in?

2) If I do, is this the only thing I need to purchase? https://www.gmpartsdirect.com/oem-parts/gm-f-module-pkg-84526978

3) If not, is this a recommended package? https://www.amazon.com/Brandmotion-...ndmotion-FDMC-1273-Suburban-Wireless-Charging

Thank you,
Matt

I have a 2015.5 Yukon Denali and it has wireless charging on the console but not for the Iphone X. I believe the 2017 and newer models console supports Iphone X charging. I'm looking into purchasing the new top to the console: https://www.gmpartsdirect.com/oem-parts/gm-armrest-23469004/?c=Zz1ib2R5JnM9Y2VudGVyLWNvbnNvbGUmaT1HQzE1NDU1NSZyPTImYT1nbWMmbz15dWtvbiZ5PTIwMTcmdD1kZW5hbGkmZT02LTJsLXY4LWZsZXg=
There is another post and video where you can swap out the module for around $100.00 in this forum.

mattsmall1972, if your consoles small black pad is flat you do not have it. The pad has ridges if you have wireless charging.

Thank you for answering the main question.

I want to ask about the pad: is there something special about the pad in a charging setup? I was thinking about simply adding a regular wireless charger into the spot and plugging it into the usb port. Since the pad seems to be different, i am wondering if i am going to have problems transmitting through it.

My 2016 Denali has the charging mat with ridges. I recently got a new iPhone XS and I can not get it to charge that phone or my wife's iPhone 8. Is there something that has to be turned on for it to work?
