I found this on an F150 forum: https://www.f150forum.com/f118/built-wireless-charging-pad-431887/index9/, but have not tested or verified yet. Has anyone tried this code to disable to factory wireless charger?

Thanks! Iāll try to work on a version with the mounting wings that doesnāt require the factory mounting bracket. That could be used in both cases with and without the factory wireless charger.

I'm getting ready to remove the factory wireless charger. Does anyone know of the FORScan codes to disable it. Hoping to avoid any DTCs once I remove it. Thanks!
