How request the ability to turn wireless charging on and off?

[Mos Eisley]

just put your phone somewhere else if you don't need it charged

the OP’s issue is putting OTHER items on the pad that Rivian warns against.

I assume the charing pad is as easy to lift up in R2 as it is in R1 vehicles. You could simply lift it up and unplug the connector if this is a big concern for you. Or create a small jumper using male and female molex connectors that are compatible to the charging pad and install an inline switch in the jumper to enable/disable the charing pad. You can hide the switch in the center console.

I believe it is (might even be same part). There are plastic tabs in the front. Insert thin plastic cards to disengage them, then lift/pivot. Wiring is underneath and towards rear. But completely unnecessary. Observe precautions or just put a non-conductive medium between pad and object.

Options:

1. Put items that you consider to potentially cause issues in the glove box (you have 2).
2. Disable the charging pad altogether.
3. As others have suggested-a non-conductive cover.

Agreed, but ye old engineer brain does not default to the layman's solution most of the time.

BTW, I just installed one of these pads in my gen1. It’s great so far. Should have left the factory like this from the get go.
