Anyone remove the charging warning sticker (from wireless charger pad)?

Assume this would be fine to remove but wasn’t sure if there are any unforeseen issues removing or if it actually looks worse.

Have you had a chance to figure out how it could be removed and/or replaced? The OEM wireless charge won’t reliably charge though my Apple silicone case (it is MagSafe compatible). Meanwhile, works fine on my wife’s Apple case that’s a different material. I’d love to pull it out and 3d print a setup with MagSafe so the phones don’t slide off the charger. Would be nice to tap into the power used by the OEM charger.

Sorry, feel like I did a poor job of wording this post with the more specific part of the question in the title and not really explaining in the post. Luckily my phone seems to be charging fine so will leave the charger as is, what I am curious about is about removing the super bright warning sticker. Concern is I start to pick at it and immediately regret it making it look worse than if I just leave it alone. I assume this comes off and goo gone could take care of anything remaining... but hoping someone has already confirmed

Your original question was clear— it just prompted me to ask other questions.

When I take delivery of my 6th gen, I plan to remove that warning decal. Have you tried to peel it off?

If you’re uncomfortable doing that, apply a piece of black electrical tape or matching 3m vinyl to cover the warnings.

I’m looking to remove mine too but worried residue or screw holes will be left behind

The factory manual for the 4G Tacoma shows that the entire panel can pop out, so I don't think you'll find any mounting hardware behind the warning label. Just cover it with some black tape if you're concerned.

Going to piggy back on this thread. How does the phone stay in place without flopping all around? Is there a clip or something on the bottom where the phone interfaces with the floor of the charger?

Based on the 4th gen Tacoma users, it doesn't. Unless you have a very big phone, most devices (e.g. iPhone 16 Pro) will slide around while driving and stop charging. I haven't read about many users who find it reliable as a result. I was going to just pull the fuse on the OEM charger and plug in a MagSafe charger above it.

Thanks for the confirmation! That was super easy

I have some random MagSafe iPhone case, and my charger works just fine, and my phone doesn't slide around

Anyone tried upgrading the charger pad somehow? It's such a slow charge I've been using the USB cable instead.

Anyone find a rubber cover or mat that stops your phone from slipping? Land Cruiser (albeit sits flat) has a number of options that prevent that and damage to the charger from your phone sliding around

I just have a slim silicone case and it charges great, no sliding around.
