Anyone got the same behavior?

Thanks

Yeah, the IT people at BMW are probably the worst in the industry. The wireless charger doesn't charge and yes it makes your phone hot. I actually think it spends more battery somehow.. another wasted feature.

Wirelessly charging units in any car are useless. They’re very low amperage and would take 1000 miles driving to get any charge. Don’t waste your time on buying them or adding them to the ticket stick with a cord.

I'm having the worse luck with my Samsung Ultra. It can't stay charged longer than one minute without disconnection, extremely annoying. I tried removing the case and no luck. For $500 (no choice with the x5), one would expect it to actually work.

Wireless charging by itself results in a decent amount of heat, much less if you're using wireless CarPlay, streaming music, and using it for nav. There's basically no scenario that isn't going to result in a lot of heat, so I'm just happy if it's able to keep my device at the same battery level as when I started.

a week after taking ownership and trialing the built-in wireless charger, I mounted a MagSafe charger from Amazon. I always connect via CarPlay and stream music (local, Amazon, Pandora) while running either Apple or Google Maps. I’ve got about 7 other apps open at all times in the background. I’ve had both iPhone 12 Pro and 14 Pro. they’ve never overheated and always charge quickly at 15W in almost three years with this setup.

Being mounted with an air duct behind it is a big help at dissipating the heat from charging. Now, would it be nice if the cubby had a cooling fan? Yes, but it doesn't.

Asking your phone to run data intensive applications and maintain a link like CarPlay is asking a lot and the phone will get at least warm even if it wasn't trying to charge at the same time.

i've contemplated removing this setup because it blocks a lot of airflow from this vent to my face, and the mount blocks any air from hitting the phone, so that's a negative regarding your claim of heat dissipation. additionally, it's never overheated even when there's heat coming out of the vents

i never said my phone doesn't get warm. it will, but rarely, and it's never overheated and stopped functioning. plus, i was detailing a completely opposite experience with a MagSafe-compatible charger from starlights experience

I have the exactly same setup. But I put the mount on the passenger side, actual just off center instead. Both driver and passenger still gets air from center vent. Where I have it, no air from the vent will blow onto the back of the phone. let me share a picture in a few hours after getting kids to bed.

And iphone 13 pro here, no phone warming up even I have car play waze, google music running at the same time. Phone is charge properly too.

Picture attached. At this location both driver and passenger can see temperature screen. Driver has access up to the AUTO button. But cannot see beyond. I never touch the auto button and what is right of it anyway. Passenger get access his/heat heated seat button and can still get to fan and temp button if he/she needs to. More often wife just told me to adjust for her, which is a rare case anyway. This location and with phone facing towers driver, it is actually not blocking air flow toward passenger at all. About 1yr and 5 months ownership, so far no complaints.

The warm air when heating, is still moving, and will move heat off of the phone. Obviously, not as well as when the air is cooler, but still, it will move some heat away.

my phone never overheats in my mount when the HVAC is OFF (no air coming out of the vents). explain that one…

It's still somewhat out in the air, rather than inside of a cubby with little air circulation around it.

noticed in sport mode the iPhone charges faster via the wireless charger...

😂 lol 😂
Sport mode is like duct tape, fixes everything.
