Flash for Blind Spot Information System Delete?

I have a 2023 F250. I had the stock bed removed and a flatbed installed, which removed the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS)/Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) sensors.

My up-fitter said that Ford no longer offers a flash to tell the truck that those sensors aren't there anymore. I asked my Ford dealer and they said perhaps my up-fitter could install a "repeater." I have no idea what that means — and google searches don't reveal much info either.

Is there a way to flash the truck to remove those features, so it's not looking for them constantly and showing me warning/error messages every time I fire it up? Ford sells chassis cabs. So, there's gotta be a way, right?

Did you ever find a fix for this? I have been thinking about a flatbed install on 2024 with factory Bliss but am concerned about get warnings all the time. I think I could live with the icon on the dash for being turned off but do not need reminders every time I start it up.

Did you end up figuring out how to disable these features, I’m getting a utility bed installed in 8 weeks and don’t want to be dealing with all the warning lights
