Anyone figure out if there is a way to remove the wireless charger? The location in my opinion is in the dumbest possible place so I never use it.
It eats up half the console so would love to remove it.

I just got my 2024 ES 350 UL, and I offer the following observations:
First, Apple car play is wireless. I hear that previous iterations of CarPlay required a cable, but that's not the case in my 2024.
Secondly, reading the book, it looks like the specifications for the Qi implementation are on the very low side, meaning charging will be very slow. The heat mentioned above is normal with Qi. To get faster charging, you would have to use a cable with the capacity of highest voltage USB port, probably the C port under the little sliding door.
I haven't had it long enough to get any other impressions, and I am replacing my iPhone 12 with a 15 next Friday (aren't we all?) so maybe the newer (I presume) Qi implementation in the 15 will make this charging pad more useful.
Full report to follow.

That said, the wireless charger pad in all ES models just support the original Qi standard so no faster wireless charging for iPhones.
