How to Prevent Audi Phone Box Wireless Charger from Activating Apple Wallet?

I have an Audi with a phone box wireless charging pad, and every time I place my iPhone on it to charge, Apple Wallet keeps popping up, showing my cards for contactless payments. I understand this is due to the NFC chip in the phone, but is there a way to prevent this from happening while still being able to use wireless charging?

Thank you!

iPhone 13, iOS 18

All I can say is I also have a wireless charging pad on my 2024 Chevrolet and this does not happen, ever. An auto wireless charging pad really has nothing to do with NFC so your issue is obviously not expected behavior. Therefore there is no option to turn off something that should not be happening in the first place. Yours is the very first report of this as far as I know.
