Just picked up my 2017 Premier, and discovered that my phone - a Nexus 6 with wireless charging - will NOT FIT in the designated slot.

I removed the rubber sleeve, and it's close but no cigar.

Has anyone milled away material on the sides of that cavity, to enable a large-screen phone to fit? And if so, what is the distance from the top to the center of the Qi coil? It would be useless to make changes to the original plastic, just to learn that the cavity isn't deep enough.

I hate to see someone's posting go unanswered, so I did some research for you. Apparently, GM did not test the Nexus 6 for compatibility: https://my.gm.com/content/dam/gmown...ts/GM_Wireless_Charging_Compatible_Device.pdf

For those who do have compatible phones, this site may be of interest: https://my.chevrolet.com/learnAbout/wireless-charging/2017/Volt

Thanks.
One wireless solution for larger phones is to put a conventional Qi-compatible plate in that forward cavity, connected to the existing USB port.
