Hey OP, rather than putting it in the console lid, why not put it in the storage well? There's room under the rubber pad for all the wiring and electronics for it and it would probably be easier. Just lay your phone on the factory rubber mat.

The new expedition has wireless charging and more or less the same console, I have no idea of the cost of parts but I feel that would be a much easier and straight forward retrofit.

Can’t believe that the 2018 F150 doesn’t have the same wireless charging the 2018 Expedition has.

I agree, I have a 2018 and it doesn't make any sense. I'm guessing next year it will

Did this ever happen? I've been thinking of trying to add a wireless charger to my lid, under the leather to keep it hidden.

I don't think you'll get a response, he seemed to lose interest after selling his truck in 2020. Last activity was in January, probably a final check to see if there were any takers on the remaining unsold parts.

thanks for the reply, guess I'll be digging into it myself.

I'd appreciate if you would post your findings, I'd probably going to embark on this come winter.

Pretty expensive but this place will modify your lid for you. https://leatherseats.com/shop/interi...rging-console/
