Turn Off Wireless Charging?

[CT22]

Does anyone know if we can and how to turn off the wireless charging on the 24’s?

That SOB gets so dang hot an heats up this magnet on the back of my phone to the point of physically burning me. It’s got to go!

You can turn it off with Forscan or just pull the fuse. I hear your issues a lot. I'm so happy that mines works flawlessly.

Pull fuse #184

heck yeah! Thank you! First thing in the morning. Appreciate the assistance.
But in response to the other comment I do need to download Forscan. Does Ford actually let us get in to the ECU and adjust some things in there?

Do a search here on Forscan. There’s many threads on it. That is something I know nothing about. apparently people use it and can adjust many things.

I personally…..am wary of digging into the ECU and changing things. But that’s just me. It may be something you can use with no problems.

Remove the magnet

Remove the magnet

It’s used for my truck set up. I’d rather disconnect than mess that up.

I have a plastic protection cover over my iPhone. If that it removed the charger runs much cooler, and if you remove the existing rubber over the charger, it works very well with almost no heat. Sure makes me wonder.

Yes removing the rubber mat plus any phone cover the charger works well. Someone at Ford didn't test final product as one engineer designed the charger and probably another came up with the rubber mat. I have seen this happen in large companies where communications fall short.

try putting phone face down to distance the magnet from the wireless charging coil.

Yep. The rubber mat is simply way too thick. If they’d moved the charging coil to sit flush with the top of the may it would be great. Having it so far below with a mat and plastic layer is just a bad design.

Pulling that fuse worked like a charm! I like the area for my phone. Holds it great under spirited driving. Problem solved. Thx folks

And if you really needed to charge the phone…there’s USB ports isn’t there? I think so…I forget….lol. Have to go look now.
