Has anyone seen or made a storage tray for this colossal waste of prime space? Also, Forscan the best way to disable auto stop start still?

Ford finally got away from the giant shifter that was in the way but now all this prime hand space is taken up by a thing you'll use 2x every time you get in the car and things you may use a handful of times the entire time of ownership for most people. They'll also took away the small slot that was perfect for your phone, pens and some coins in favor of... nothing. I'd like to add a silicone or rubber tray here but not look like crap. Has anyone seen or made something that would fit there? I came out of a 2019 F150 that I disabled auto stop start with for scan and it was super easy, is it still the best way to disable it?

Do you really want to clutter up every single square inch of the interior......?

This spot is about as "prime" of a spot as you're going to get in the truck. Your hand naturally falls right there so yes I absolutely want to put something here for my phone. That's why I made the post. My previous 19 F150 had a small tray in between the shifter and cups and it worked perfect to hold the phone and a pen. If you put the phone on the spot now it just flies off under your feet. I thought about the rubber draw mats but that would just look tacky.

Here's what it looked like in the 19 f150...

IIRC it's not recommended at all to disable ASS through Forscan, as it disables more things than just ASS. Using the Auto Start/Stop Eliminator plugin seems to be the way most have gone to take care of it.

That's a nice setup in the F150; more utilitarian than the 'luxury cabin' styling of the Expedition. I always keep my phone in the phone tray on the wireless charging pad and use CarPlay on the dash screen.

Just use a dremel to cut out the long rectangle. fab up a plastic tray and gorilla glue it in

My 2019 XLT had that little tray but the fancier versions of the expedition don't have that little tray. You could by the console top for the xlt and get that little slot. I also liked to put my phone in that slot.

I'm not sure why one would want easy access to their phone while driving, for both safety and moving violation reasons. Especially when there's a nice padded compartment for the phone that has wireless charging, USB ports, and you can access maps/phone/etc from CarPlay or Android on a nice big dash screen.
